General
The Amplifier is a Novus siege vehicle. Its sonic resonator attacks ground and gains power the longer it focuses on a target, going through three stages. The stage advances after 3 seconds and again 6 seconds after that. It also prevents the target from activating special abilities or firing. This attack is strong against structures and Masari Dark Matter Armor but weak against heroes and abysmal against infantry. Its harmonic pulse deals high point blank area of effect damage and knocks back infantry, although the Amplifier cannot move while using it. This attack is strong against infantry, structures, and heroes, but weak against vehicles.
