Aduka is spiderbot mobile who launches Thor-summoning guides from its spinneret. It is considered the companion mobile to Adum, as both of these mobiles function similarly and intrinsically utilize Thor. Aduka is fairly solidly built, being in an above-average HP class, can deal very high damage if and when it is able to get Thor to level 4 or 5/'Max', and has great mobility as well. Aduka's primary weaknesses are that it struggles to build Thor's level Quickly enough to capitalize on its potential when it is not being supported by Adum, and has minimal utility when using items, clouds, or trying to destroy land. Strategies and considerations about Thor's level and location aside, Aduka has very simple and straight-forward shots to make, making it a relatively easy mobile to learn.

Shot 1

Aduka's S1 is a single bomb fired in an arc which explodes with contact with a totem, mobile, or land. It will deal low damage of around 150-170. 100% of S1's damage total is counted toward Thor's experience. At Thor level 1, S1 slightly out-damages S2. As such, at the beginning of a match while Thor is at a low level, Aduka prefers to use S1 over S2 in order to get Thor leveled to at least 2 or 3 before going on the major offensive with S2 and SS.

Shot 2

Using S2, Aduka fires two guides in an arc that will land on a totem, mobile, or land. Where the guides land, Thor will fire a strong laser at each. Like with S1, all of S2's damage is contributed toward Thor's level. The damage dealt by S2 varies entirely with Thor's level. At level 1, weak damage is dealt, approximately 160-180. At maximum level, Thor will deal approximately 270-290 damage.

Special Shot

With its SS, Aduka launches a guide that travels in an arc, passing clear through all objects and land. Any mobile or totem it passes through will be dealt moderate damage directly, and then targeted by a powerful laser from Thor for additional damage. While SS damage range varies greatly with Thor's level, at Max level it will deal around 400-450 damage in total to each mobile it contacts.

Tips and Techniques

1. The more Adums and Adukas that are involved on a team, the more quickly Thor will be leveled up, providing a steady flow of S1s. Correspondingly, the faster Thor reaches Max level, the sooner Adum and/or Aduka may take control of a match by unleashing Thor's high damage. In 2v2 Score, each player on a team may have one Adum and one Aduka, meaning the first four mobiles on that team will be able to build and take advantage of Thor.

2. Like Nak, Aduka can take cover under or behind land once it has its SS unlocked. When available, using SS to pass through cover can be a very strong strategy.

3. Also similar to Nak's SS, Aduka's SS can deal 'stacked' damage, meaning when multiple tanks are on the same spot, each one will trigger Thor separately and take extra damage from the lasers fired at the other tank. Aduka or its partner can use a 'kamikaze' strategy to quickly finish off a remaining tank using this knowledge.

4. Aduka's shots 1 and 2 are each extremely permitting of risky shots. A common positioning when dropping in Aduka is to either land near an opponent (on the opposite site of Thor) to take advantage of this or take a position that may be under cover from Thor so that an opponent cannot easily take that spot when they drop a tank in. Ideally, one spot might even serve both purposes at once.
