sc-057 SYSTEM LOGIC: AERIAL ENGAGEMENT STABILIZER
An offensive tactical logic specialized for units maintaining vertical superiority. By synchronizing the unit's thruster output with gravitational acceleration, it maximizes lethality against grounded targets. The system includes a reactive stabilizer that activates upon successful combat data acquisition from ground strikes.
- DMG Modification: +20% vs Grounded Targets
- Condition: Active while Airborne
- Post-Strike Link: Gain [Fall Prevention Control] upon successful hit
| PHASE | SYSTEM STATUS | TACTICAL EFFECT |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | Standby | Damage +20% during aerial maneuvers. |
| Active | Override | Grant permanent [Fall Prevention Control] after 1st hit. |
Strategic Deployment
The core of sc-057 lies in its "First Strike" doctrine. Pilots must prioritize an initial successful hit to stabilize their aerial presence. Once the [Fall Prevention Control] is triggered, the unit transitions from a vulnerable flyer to a stable bombardment platform, allowing for sustained suppression until the unit is re-deployed. Failure to land the opening blow leaves the frame exposed to crash risks.
