One Of The Best Enemy's From The Game.
Soldiers are an improved iteration of the Stray, with new attacks and mechanical additions such as an arm cannon, a metallic mask, and a mechanical leg. They also appear to be cleaner, with less blood smearing them, and their body appearing whiter. They are also slightly smaller than Strays.They have two attacks, both of which make use of their augments; their primary ranged attack and a defensive melee kick. Their primary attack is a volley of four fast-traveling Hell Energy projectiles fired from their arm cannon in a spreading triangular formation, with the center projectile aimed directly at the player. Parrying one projectile in a volley will prevent the rest of the projectiles in that volley from damaging the player. Their secondary attack is a powerful melee kick using their prosthetic leg, which they only perform if the player gets too close, rather than running away like the Stray. In addition to the high damage of this attack (one of the most powerful attacks among the fodder enemies), it also launches the player far away from them. Soldiers also have the ability to block explosion damage, only taking 25% damage if hit by a regular explosion while grounded, except for Malicious Railcannon's explosion. Knocking them into the air by any means will prevent them from blocking, with red explosions completely bypassing their guard altogether.
