Master the SPARK robot in XCOM 2's Shen's Last Gift DLC with this comprehensive guide. Learn its strengths, weaknesses, and how to deploy it effectively.
Walkthrough
- 1Mission: The SPARK is acquired during the 'Shen's Last Gift' mission. You'll need to escort Dr. Shen and her prototype SPARK robot through a derelict ADVENT facility.
- 2Acquisition: Upon successful completion of the mission, the SPARK unit becomes available for deployment in your Barracks.
- 3Deployment: SPARKs can be built in the Proving Ground and assigned to your squads. They do not require a soldier slot from the roster but have their own unique progression.
Tips
- Heavy Weapons: SPARK units are equipped with powerful built-in weapons and can utilize heavy weapons found on the battlefield.
- Repair: Unlike organic soldiers, SPARKs cannot be wounded. Instead, they can be damaged and require repair in the Proving Ground. This repair time is generally shorter than a soldier's recovery.
- No Psionics/Specializations: SPARKs do not have access to Psionic abilities or the specialized skill trees available to other classes. Their progression is linear.
- Overdrive: SPARKs have a unique ability called 'Overdrive' which allows them to take an additional action, often used for movement or attacking.
- Vulnerability: While durable, SPARKs are susceptible to EMP attacks and certain enemy abilities that specifically target robotic units.
