Oculi

Description
These small aerial sensors are capable of puncturing intruders with their lasers.

When one encounters a Peripheroids broken hull, it merges with it creating a new Jackbot. When a Taskmaster is present they can easily swarm you, so engineers are recommended to destroy the taskmaster, while also using their ricochet attack to kill multiple Oculi at once.

Oculi are similar in health to Fellswarm, but they are individual entities and can fly, which also makes it similar to Fellwing.

Specs:

Special: Flees if attacked.

Strategy

 * Oculi are similar to glass-cannon enemies. They are fragile but unleash powerful attacks. As such, most units are able to take them down easily. Shellstorms with their area attack and added damage against aerial enemies are the best choice to handle them.
 * Snipers are one of the few units that cannot handle Oculi, because their rate of fire is too low. Rangers however, will handle Oculi fine.
 * Engineers with the ricochet tech unlocked are excellent at taking down Oculi. Additionally, Oculi are frequently spawned by a Taskmaster, which engineers can use their plasma ray on.
 * A brawler's drones can compete with Oculi while the brawler is fighting ground enemies.

Trivia

 * They are spawned by the Taskmaster, making it the Peripheroid equivalent of the Blightmother.
