Enemy Database

Complete reference for all enemy types in Rogue Signal Protocol.

Overview

There are 8 unique enemy types with different behaviors, stats, and threat levels.

Enemy Types

Static Enemies

Stationary enemies that guard fixed positions.

Scanner (S)

Stats:

  • CPU: 35
  • Vision: 5 tiles
  • Damage: 0
  • Movement: STATIC

Stationary surveillance node with enhanced detection arrays. Cannot attack but sees farther than most security programs. Tactical Notes:

  • Cannot attack but alerts nearby enemies
  • Extended vision range makes them dangerous sentries
  • Eliminate early if stealth approach required

Firewall (F)

Stats:

  • CPU: 80
  • Vision: 3 tiles
  • Damage: 5
  • Movement: STATIC

Heavily fortified security barrier process. Extremely resilient but slow to respond to threats. Tactical Notes:

  • Extremely high CPU makes them hard to kill
  • Often blocks critical paths
  • Consider avoiding rather than fighting

Mobile Enemies

Enemies that patrol or pursue actively.

Patrol (P)

Stats:

  • CPU: 40
  • Vision: 4 tiles
  • Damage: 10
  • Movement: PATROL

Automated security routine that follows predetermined routes. Equipped with basic defensive protocols. Tactical Notes:

  • Shows next 3 planned moves - highly predictable
  • Easy to avoid with proper timing
  • Alerts other enemies when detecting player

Bot (B)

Stats:

  • CPU: 25
  • Vision: 3 tiles
  • Damage: 8
  • Movement: RANDOM

Autonomous cleaning script with pattern recognition. Wanders unpredictably while scanning for anomalies. Tactical Notes:

  • Unpredictable movement makes them dangerous
  • Lower stats compensate for chaos factor
  • Can accidentally discover you in blind spots

Hunter (H)

Stats:

  • CPU: 50
  • Vision: 6 tiles
  • Damage: 15
  • Movement: RANDOM

Elite security algorithm with advanced threat detection and powerful attack protocols. Highly dangerous. Tactical Notes:

  • Highest vision range of standard enemies
  • Very dangerous in combat (15 damage)
  • Avoid or ambush from blind spots

Virus (V)

Stats:

  • CPU: 35
  • Vision: 4 tiles
  • Damage: 0
  • Movement: VIRUS

Hostile malware that corrupts on contact. Doesn't deal direct damage but infects systems with degrading code. Tactical Notes:

  • No direct damage but inflicts virus status
  • Virus deals 3 CPU per turn for 3-10 turns
  • Use Antivirus exploit to cure infection

Inhibitor (I)

Stats:

  • CPU: 30
  • Vision: 4 tiles
  • Damage: 0
  • Movement: RANDOM

Traffic control daemon that throttles unauthorized processes. Slows your execution speed without causing damage. Tactical Notes:

  • Slows your movement on contact
  • No damage but tactical nuisance
  • Use Antivirus exploit to remove slow effect

Boss Enemy

Special enemy that only appears under specific conditions.

Admin Avatar (A)

Stats:

  • CPU: 250
  • Vision: 8 tiles
  • Damage: 45
  • Damage Resistance: 50% (min 5)
  • Movement: ADMIN

System administrator's digital enforcer. Heavily armed, relentless, and commands root-level privileges.

Spawn Conditions:

  • Appears on Military Backbone (Level 3) at high trace levels
  • Can spawn when trace reaches critical thresholds

Tactical Notes:

  • EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - avoid if possible
  • 50% damage resistance makes it very tanky
  • 45 damage can kill you in 3 hits
  • Best strategy: Keep trace low to prevent spawning
  • If spawned: Use System Hop to escape, avoid direct combat

Detection & Alert System

All enemies have three awareness states:

Unaware (Yellow)

  • Default state
  • Following normal behavior pattern
  • Has not detected player

Alert (Orange)

  • Investigating suspicious activity
  • Lasts 1 turn only
  • Can escalate to hostile if player seen again

Hostile (Red)

  • Actively pursuing player
  • Alerts nearby enemies within 8 tile radius
  • Uses optimal pathfinding to chase

Tips & Strategies

  1. Know your enemy: Study movement patterns and vision ranges
  2. Use blind spots: Hide in monitoring dead zones to avoid detection
  3. Watch the queue: Enemy movement predictions show 3 moves ahead
  4. Ambush bonus: Attacking from blind spots grants +10 damage
  5. Avoid Admin Avatar: Keep trace low to prevent spawning
  6. Status effects matter: Carry Antivirus for virus/slow effects
  7. Target priority: Eliminate Scanners first, avoid Firewalls
  8. Stealth over combat: Killing alerts nearby enemies
