Recon/en
<languages/>
Recon is one of the 5 classes currently playable in Roboquest.
Primary Ability
Recon's primary ability is Blink. It allows Recon to dash up to 8m forward, triggering a Xm radius explosion applying high impact at their arrival location. It also generates 3 Overslash charges .
It has a 7 second cooldown.
Secondary Ability
Recon's secondary ability is Laser Dagger. Without the effect of Recon's passive ability, Laser Dagger is simply a basic melee attack that affects enemies immediately in front of the player, dealing a base 65 damage. Laser Dagger has no cooldown and generates an extra healing cell on takedowns, while generating 3 healing cells and 1 Overslash charge when striking bosses.
Passive Ability
Recon's passive ability is Overslash. Overslash's benefits require charging before they can be utilized - 5 charges are required per use of Overslash. Charges are generated each time an enemy is eliminated through any method initiated by the player and for every use of Laser Dagger against a boss; in both cases, 1 charge is awarded per elimination or boss hit.
Once the player has accumulated 5 charges for Overslash, the next use of Laser Dagger is augmented. An unmodified Overslash consumes all 5 charges and increases the damage of the next use of Laser Dagger by 200%. Any elimination or attack against a boss made through the use of Overslash will not generate additional Overslash charges.
The amount of charges the player has accumulated is visible as blue dots above the Blink ability.
Class-Locked Perks
As well as Neutral Perks, each class has their own set of Perks specific to them.
The player can choose a Primary Perk (Which is Class-Locked) at Level 2, 4, 6 and 9 for a total of four Primary Perks. Each class has 15 Primary Perks in total.
All Primary Perks unlock two Secondary Perks which can be obtained along with Neutral Perks and Class Locked Perks at Level 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13, and from defeated player character robots, as displayed by question marks on some maps. In Ruins you can loot a wrecked player robot for a free Secondary or Neutral Perk.

Notes
All of the damage numbers displayed on upgrades on this page are at Level 3, for ease of comparison.

This page is currently up to date to the Winter Update 2023.
To calculate the amount of damage skills on this page do on what level, you can use this formula:
a / 1.5 * (-0.25 + 0.b * 2.5 + 1) =
a is where you insert a Level 3 damage value on this page.
b is where you insert the level. Turn the 0 to the left of b into a 1 if it's level 10 or higher.
The result is a rough estimate (due to the game rounding hidden decimals) of the damage the skill will do at the specified level.
Passive effects are additive.
Active effects (activated by certain conditions) are multiplicative.
As such, stacking damage increasing effects can be very powerful.
