Clockwork Soldier

Clockwork Soldiers are one of the most common enemies in the Clockwork Army. They are the first and most basic out of all types of Clockworks.

History[]

During the Great War[]

Agonius, posing as Lord Agony, created his invincible army of Clockworks. Clockwork Soldiers participated in the chaotic war.^[1]^[2]^[3] One Clockwork Soldier was responsible for injuring Kenan, but was defeated by Jacob, who carried on to confront Lord Agony.^[4]

Current timeline[]

In Seacrest Shores, a Knight and Isaiah are ambushed by four Clockwork Soldiers, though Isaiah was lucky to have survive, but they followed him to Lock. Lock and Isaiah fight off several waves of Clockworks before making preparations to head back to the village to protect the Source Well from Pain's army.^[1]^[2] Later on, Tobias, alongside Isaiah and Lock are forced to evacuate and leave the village.^[5]^[6]

In Northshore Fort, the Clockworks have overpowered the three Kingdom Force members and have destroyed bits of their Stone fortress, forcing Lock to fight the other Clockwork waves.^[7] After several days of battling, one Soldier reports to Pain that they cannot break through, which makes Pain angry and destroys his own unit and sends more of his forces out.^[8]

Clockwork Soldiers later appear as enemies in Siege at Antonia West. They attack the tower by directly punching it, dealing 50 damage. They require only 1 shot to kill, and they will drop 120 Source each upon destruction.

They also appear at Antonia Defense mode at Antonia West, and later Antonia East, attempting to capture the Source Well.

Clockwork Soldiers later appear in battles at Foothill Cliffs, Nomad Settlement, Deception Pass, Iceflo Taiga, Warren Forest, Well Cluster and The Fallen Crypt, assisting the other Clockworks in capturing Source Wells, as well as various other objectives.

VS[]

Clockwork Soldiers appear as selectable units in the multiplayer VS mode in Lock's Quest. Clockwork Soldiers are free of purchase to use. If there are any empty slots within the three groups, Clockwork Soldiers will fill in those spots.

Physical description[]

First[]

In the cinematic cutscenes, Clockwork Soldiers had a bulky posture. They were colored black, and had two evil-looking eyes. They also have horns on their heads, and sharp claws.

Current[]

Clockwork Soldiers have a very different look compared to their appearance in the cinematic cutscenes. They have a normal body build, no longer looking bulky compared to Agonius' original Clockworks. Their horns are white. Their left eye is replaced with a cyan button with a silver trim around it. The button and their red eye is surrounded by a black rectangle. They have silver arms and legs, which are short in size. Their armor has a bronze complexion, with light yellow reflections on the armor. They have a silver trim around the end of their bodies. Their kneecaps are colored light yellow, and their toecaps are colored silver.

Abilities[]

Acting as the main foot soldiers in the Clockwork Army, Soldiers possess no special attacks or abilites.

Skills[]

Double Slash: In battles, Soldiers attack their targets by slashing their arms. They first slash their right hand, then the left hand. This deals mild damage.
Punch: In Siege mode, Soldiers can deliver a straight punch to the tower, or Spearmans and Shielders, which deals 50 damage.

Abilities[]

Durability / Strength: Despite being the most basic enemy units, Soldiers are not the weakest units in terms or defense and power in normal battles. Out of the ten main units, Soldiers have the fifth strongest defense. Out of the nine damaging Clockworks, Soldiers are tied fifth with the strongest hit points, along with Burrowers. In the First War, a Clockwork Soldier was capable of brutality injuring Kenan, but was no match for Jacob.
Invincibility: During the Great War, Agonius' Clockworks were nigh-invincible, including Soldiers.

Upgrades[]

Pain[]

Pain is the boss version of a Clockwork Soldier. Like all bosses he wears red armor and, unlike regular clockworks, does not fall apart after one day (thus meaning that he must be destroyed within the time limit for the level to be completed). Pain is fought at Northshore Fort^[8] and appears as a boss in Siege in Antonia West, on Day 5.

Green Soldier[]

Green Soldiers are recolors of Clockwork Soldiers exclusive to Siege at Antonia North.

Silver Soldier[]

Clockwork Soldiers upgrade to Silver Soldiers at Ironfist Quarry^[9]. They have deal more damage and require more fire power to kill, but they drop more Source.

Elite Soldier[]

Silver Soldiers upgrade to Elite Soldiers at Tarn Highlands.^[10] They deal more damage and require more firepower to kill, but they drop more Source.

Biographies[]

New enemy description: "The basic clockwork unit. Soldiers are weak, but very effective in groups."

Archineer Hall description: "The Clockwork Soldier is the most common unit in the Clockwork army. They possess a simple melee attack, but are most dangerous when in groups."

Lock's Quest IGN Guide: "The most basic of the Clockworks, the Soldier is your standard attacker: it will walk up to its target, then swing at Lock or your defenses with its hands, then take a brief second before attacking again. Nothing much to say about them."
