Boomer-The Rogue Bull Dogbadier

Name: Boomer. A dog man who watched his home planet of Wolven come to a cataclysmic end as his people bravely fought off the Varelsi. His planet exploded in one massive fireball while the last of his people were evacuated by a joint taskforce led by the Peacekeepers and the Eldrid. Boomer enlisted immediately with the Peacekeepers and served as an artillery expert for about a decade until he decided to mentor some Vigilant on the finer points of nonviolent splash damage of explosives. He was kicked out of the Eldrid for accidently blowing up a part of Codex with some very sensitive information regarding Wolven and its flora and fauna. Now he joined up with the Rogues as their professional bomb maker and portable artillery specialist.

Health: 970

Shields: 300

Role: Attacker/Disruptor/Long-Range/Advanced

Weapon: 125mm Portable Mortar Cannon, High Explosive Shells. Primary fire causes Boomer to quick fire a shell at a location. Holding the button charges the shell causing it to fly further. Holding the left trigger causes a targeting reticule to appear where the shell will land. A quick fired shell will travel about 10 yards, a fully charged shell will travel 40 yards. The shells do 96 damage per shot no matter how far they travel and have a good blast radius.

Ability 1: Stockpile: Causes Boomer to load his mortar with three shells which are fired in rapid succession upon the next trigger pull each doing 131 damage but covering a wider area in front of him.

Ability 2: Blast Zone: Launch a shell at Boomer’s feet dealing 105-215 depending on distance from the epicenter knocking enemies back.

Ultimate: Carpet Bomber: Boomer launches a shell into the air above him which releases several child grenades covering a large area around Boomer dealing 53 damage per child grenade. Launches thirty child grenades upon shell detonation.

Talent: Boomer adds a different effect to his shells each time he fires one: High Explosive, Smoke and Flashbang. High Explosive has the largest blast radius. Smoke leaves behind an obscuring smoke lasting for 4 seconds. Flashbang blinds enemies caught in the blast for 2 seconds. All non-skill based shells deal 96 base damage upon detonation.
