Factions

Factions are a source of bonuses and boosts in the game. Currently there are three factions: Engineer, Guardian, and Ninja. There are also 3 tiers per faction and each tier is unlocked by purchasing all the items from the previous tier.

Engineer
The Engineer faction is the support faction of Gears Online as they can heal others, deploy sentry guns, and can increase speed. PROS:
 * Can heal themselves and others with healing station.


 * Can deploy sentry guns which does massive damage.


 * Can give speed through healing station.

CONS:
 * Weapons are low in damage.


 * Charging time for healing station is 90 seconds.

Guardian
The Guardian faction is the strength faction within Gears Online. They can perform a ground pound that can stun robots around them and can deploy a shield which can defend them from attacks. PROS:
 * Ground pound stuns enemies which is good for getting away.


 * Shield deployment makes one invincible to all attacks for 5 seconds.


 * Normal weapon damage is better than that of Engineer.

CONS:
 * Guardian's special moves can't help allies.


 * All guardian tiers have Redcliff armor in them.

Ninja
The Ninja faction is the stealth faction of Gears Online. They can perform a spin attack, dealing massive damage towards all enemies in range. Ninjas can also make swords rain from the heavens attacking all robots within range. PROS:
 * Ninja can by far deal the most damage per second.


 * Spin attack has extended range when a katana is used.


 * Raining Swords can deal combo damage.

CONS:
 * Like the Guardian, most of the Ninja's moves are attack based and don't help allies.


 * Tier 3 armor looks by far the worst out of all the factions.
