Trolls are medium Vex units utilized by the Torus Assimilative encountered in the Worlds Beyond expansion.

Overview

Trolls are bipedal Vex units not too dissimilar from a Minotaur and a Wyvern. They sport a powerful pair of clawed legs, wide main chassis with two balancing pinions on their backs and two powerful main armaments in place of their arms.

Gameplay

Upon first engagement, unless scripted to be first encountered Emplaced, Trolls will naturally move around the area like a Minotaur or Wyvern would and attempt to get a good angle on their adversaries. While moving, the Troll will use its weapons, the Torch Nailers, to launch powerful rounds of Void energy into their opponents at a slow rate of fire, yet at a fast travel rate. The Troll will naturally be protected by a front-facing shield that can be disabled with enough firepower and damage. If damage is sustained to the Troll unit, it will begin a slow process of healing over the damage done, even to the point of going back to full health from near death in seconds. Should an adversary get too close, the Troll will use the pneumatic processes of their Torch Nailers to strike their opponent and knock them back.

However, when the Troll has located an open and defendable firing position, it will bury their clawed, digitigrade legs into the ground and unfurl their weapons. In this state, the Troll will fire off powerful mortar-like bolts from their now artillery-like weapons, this time called Epoch Spikers to drive their opponents from cover and deal remarkable damage. The Troll can only be thrown out of this state when enough damage is sustained or if an opponent gets into a position where their Epoch Spikers can't hit them.
