==Overview== | |||
According to rumors, Kovik is among those responsible for the Devil Splicers' [[SIVA]]-fueled evolution. His twisted science has lead to new horrifying developments for the [[Fallen]], turning them from ether-starved pirates to half-machine demigods. However, Kovik's ambitions didn't stop there as the mad Splicer Priest’s research took a far more sinister turn as he sought to control and weaponize the more aggressive aspects of the Hive’s mysterious biology. His daring assault and torturing of the Hive, initiated a full-scale war between the Devil Splicers and the infuriated Hive. | |||
Koviks efforts would soon lead him to a Hive nesting ground hidden within a old missile silo. Kovik and his forces were able to drive out the Hive and capture an [[Ogre]] which Kovik began to experiment on personally. Kovik dissected the beast and was able to remove its Void-eye, create a weapon powered by it, [[Wretched Gaze]], and even command the Ogre to a degree. | |||
However, his efforts to experiment on the Hive was noticed by [[Shiro-4]] and the [[Guardians]] who began to disrupt Koviks operations. The Guardians descended down the missile silo and Kovik encountered them at the center of the nest. Kovik battled the Guardians with his new weapon and the Ogre he enslaved, dubbed [[Kovik's Monster]]. Despite his efforts and morbid weapons, Kovik was killed by the Guardians. Despite this victory, Shiro worries if the Splicers will continue Kovik's work. | |||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Kovik is an aggressive foe who constantly pushes on the player's position. He is armed with a [[Wretched Gaze]] machine gun for heavy ranged combat. This weapon has a very fast rate of fire, as well as extremely high range, accuracy, and damage, allowing Kovik to easily suppress [[Guardian]]s and melt their shields in an instant. On top of this, he can teleport vast distances by disappearing for a brief moment and then reappearing a few seconds later, and if faced up close, he will unleash an Arc Ultra Smash that will inflict massive damage and tremendous knockback or cause an outright death. However, despite his formidability, Kovik can momentarily be stunned by high-impact weaponry along with sustained fire, allowing the player an easier time finishing him off. | Kovik is an aggressive foe who constantly pushes on the player's position.

*Kovik's upper left arm appears to be the only one his four arms to be natural. The others are either mechanical wired or SIVA parts. | |||
