Enemies

All the enemies that appear in Synthetik are made by Kaida Corporation and recognize enemies that attack with their humanity.

Each layer has its own enemies, humanoids and drones are assembled into one unit, sometimes with a fixed turret.

Before the game starts, you can adjust the difficulty to adjust the overall performance of enemies. See Difficulty modifiers.

Quotes

Humanoid enemies will speak when spotting, attacking, or receiving damage from the player.

	SG Rival	Rapid fire shotgun Ability to dash Relatively low health
	B Defender	Shoots fusion rounds, effective against shields High damage, but large and relatively fragile; reliant on own shields for protection Very short shield regen delay; kill them fast to avoid spending a lot of ammo on them Bullets are very inaccurate and relatively easy to dodge

File:Sniper Normal.PNG 120x120px	Kaida Sniper	Mostly stationary, calls in a teleporting bomb to hurt out-of-view players Armed with a powerful single-shot or burst-fire precision rifle (for Elites) which temporarily reduces Healing on hits Uses a red targeting laser to indicate line of sight and to call in precision airstrikes Often defended by stun mines, which stun the player temporarily and removes shields for a long duration

	Nano-Healing Station	Dispatches drones to heal nearby units Higher-rank variants send more drones and thus heal faster
	Mortar Turret	Fires mortar shells over very long range without regard for cover as long as it is aware of the player's presence.

	Vierling HMG Turret	Incredibly high damage machinegun turret, acquires targets quickly but can barely turn once it has begun firing.
