Introduction
The Invader is a medium robot with a medium and 2 light hardpoints. It is unofficially classified as a heavy robot based on wiki criteria.
Ability
Invader's ability is Incursion. When activated, the Invader jumps and gains 33% damage resistance to all enemy weapons (except titan weapons, which ignore damage resistance), then lands in a similar way to Mercury, meaning the pilot can command the Invader to smash down onto the ground immediately, or plane down based on the initial trajectory of the jump. Upon landing, the Invader retains its damage resistance for 5 more seconds while emitting an electrical impulse which suppresses the weapon systems of all enemies within 100 meters, reducing their damage output by 66% for 5 seconds. When factoring in Invader's damage resistance, the net damage to Invader is reduced by 78% for 5 seconds. Incursion has a cooldown of 16 seconds.
Strategy
The Invader is often used as a tank, especially when equipped with armor and healing modules. With its high durability, damage resistance, jump, and suppression ability, the Invader is excellent for brawling and close-range engagement.
The Invader has relatively slow ground speed, so pilots should take advantage of the Invader's long jump distance to ambush enemies, cap beacons, or escape from danger.
A draw back to the Invader is its mediocre firepower, consisting of only 1 Medium and 2 Light weapons. Due to this, the Invader should be played as a support robot that tanks damage, suppresses enemy groups, defends areas, and helps to capture beacons.
It is recomended to practice piloting the Invader in a custom battle first. It is very easy for the Invader's long legs to get tangled on obstacles and other robots, so praticing on the maps will help pilots know where to manuerver. Experienced pilots will also use Invader's tendency to get tangled up with other bots as a tactic to "trap" enemy bots, particuarly smaller, more agile bots, to prevent them from escaping.
Possible Setups
These setups are recommended for the Invader:
Note: Each slot type is filled with only one particular weapon. For example, if a robot has 3 light all three of those slots are filled with Pinatas, as mixing weapons of the same slot type is not advisable.

Trivia
- The Invader is the first four-legged robot to be able to jump.
- The Invader has one of the largest health pools in the entire game.
- The Invader is the only four-legged robot that suffers from landing lag.
- The Invader's Suppression can be activated in mid-air.
- The special variant - Arachnid Invader - when using its ability, it does not make a sound or create a large yellow wave upon landing unlike the Invader. This allows for a stealthier surprise attack on a target.
- The Arachnid Invader also has an idle animation, which would make it the first robot variant to have an idle animation.
- This robot can have over 1.75 million effective hp when it's ability is active.
- The Invader's Incursion ability actually does damage, though only very little. Getting a kill just by Incursion is a rare sight.
