  • Tech Vulnerability means that the Codex would take the extra damage from Combat Protocol, but is not subject to Haywire Protocol.
  • Teleporting does not trigger overwatch fire.
  • When activating Clone, the Codex's remaining HP is split between the original and the clone.
  • Cloned Codices do not have access to the full host of abilities.
  • Codices are susceptible to flashbangs, which prevents them from cloning when injured.
  • Codices get stunned for 0 action points which means that they can act at the beginning of the next turn but can be shot at without being able to clone.
