Bosses
What your team builds and sends through the gate.
Building and sending
Every boss is sent: one in your world is one the other team built and put through your gate, and one in theirs is yours. Your team builds one at a time, at the forge's BOSS tab, paid for by whoever wants it.
- Queue. Any pilot at the gate picks a preset, and it becomes the team's build.
- Fund. Each pilot chips in from their own bank — Scrap, Cores for the bigger chassis, and the comet's Starglass for the heaviest — and everyone sees who put in what. Cancel it, and everyone still in the match gets back exactly what they put in.
- Build, then launch. Paid in full, it builds, then waits at the gate until a pilot launches it into their world. Holding it for the right moment is the game's sharpest question.
- It hunts. Every point of damage it deals their pilots comes off their counter — and with none of them there to hunt, it drains the counter from their gate. Kill one fast: it stops the bleeding, and it pays its killers.
Presets
The bosses every team can build. Each is a chassis and the modules fitted to it, and every module shows on its hull — so a team can read what came through its gate at a glance.

Modules
What a boss is made of, in four families, each its own colour on the hull and on its icon. A boss carries one hunt module at most; with none, it goes for the nearest pilot.
