Hey, i just translated this mod into Korean. I want you to add this file to the mod.

Whoa. Saw this as #1. I'm not surprised, this "small" change fills out Cherub as a tactical option. While I think that Cherub is just viable enough as is to be a solid roster pick, I always felt that he should have had +1 Armor by default. He's a tank character with no integrated tank - that shield doesn't actually help him unless it's triggered by abilities etc. I want Cherub to last a bit longer than the average agent under fire. This mod fixes that.

This was the first mod posted, and it is STILL #1

Knocking a game has nothing to do with tooltips. There's just something lacking in this game, possibly character. I just have no desire to fire it up for some reason. I felt the same way about Outer Worlds, though I'm a big fan of previous games made by those developers and other Fallout games. There was something about Outer World that just didn't pull me in. Same with this game, and I've played X-COM since it was on 3.5" floppies and called UFO.

still top on popular? oof

Finarfin - Read the tool tips before you knock a game. Keeps you from looking like an idiot who wants to seem cool online by not liking something.

OP - Interesting. Will be using this. Thanks.

Charges are used to do more damage and add a cone effect to Shield Bash ability; you acquire charges by applying Kinetic Shield to Cherub or other agents and having enemies destroying them. Normal Shield Bash is just like Subdue. Agent progression unlocks more ways to acquire charges or use the shield to make Cherub into a passive cover for allies and gain additional armor during enemy phase.
It's quite clearly explained in the tooltips, if you don't understand it's not the game's problem.

Yet it doesn't tell you what the fuck a charge is used for. I've already stopped playing this game anyway. It's just not....interesting. It's definitely a $10 game.

it literally spells its triggers and functions out clear in the tooltip: "Cherub places an energy shield on self or ally to prevent all damage of the next attack. Cherub gains one charge when the energy shield is destroyed. Does not automatically end the turn."

Like Zepod said, each time an agent who has the Kinetic Shield effect gets hit, the shield "breaks" and gives Cherub +1 charge. There should be a little graphic effect over Cherub that says something like "+1 Charge". There is a counter for charges near the ammo counter on the bottom left of the screen when it's Cherub's turn, much like Axiom's Rage counter. The charges are held in reserve during the mission until you use Cherub's "Shield Bash" ability - when you use it all charges are consumed and the maneuver does more damage for each charge consumed.

If your trying to ask what the shield effect does on agents, it blocks all damage for one "hit" on that agent. You can tell it's active by a sort of pinkish, hexagonal haze around the agent.
