All Characters in Moonbreaker

Any time players scour The Reaches for glory, they’ll need an expansive team of miniatures to select from. Moonbreaker accomplishes this by having a vast amount of characters (otherwise known as units in-game) for all different types of playstyles. Each unit has its place on one of the many moons and in the cultures harbored on these rotating space balls. Units are separated into three different types: captains, crew, and bosses. A roster will consist of 10 crew units and 1 captain. Due to bosses not having any playability outside of fighting against them in the PvE mode, this article will not be covering those units. Deploying units from the bridge, using unit skills, and replenishing units on the bridge from the reserve all use cinder. An in-game resource that the player collects at the start of every turn.

All Characters in Moonbreaker: Captain units

Captains are the proverbial king piece of the Moonbreaker chess board. Boasting the most unique and game-changing skills, eliminating the opposing team’s captain is all it takes to win. The main risk of a captain is knowing when to take a fight, and when to pull back before it is too late.

Astra – Methedori

• Culture – Methedori
• Attack Type – Ranged
• Base Damage – 1
• Health – 20
• Unique Abilities:
  • Captain
  • Airborne
  • Inspire – Reinforce when Astra destroys a crew.
• Unit Abilities:
  • Boost Morale – Cost: 1 Cinder
    • Permanently reduce the cost of a random crew unit on bridge by 2.
  • “Into the Breach!” – Cost: 2 Cinder
    • Remove stunned from unit.

From the moon of Methedor, even though Astra is only 12 years old she has proven to be a formidable foe on the battlefield. Storming the enemies with her companion creature and long-time friend Furg, Astra brings a plethora of abilities to help her friends and develop a plan. Both of her unit abilities can hand the player a much-needed reprieve from enemy attacks.

Extilior – Methedori

• Culture – Methedori
• Attack Type – Melee
• Base Damage – 2
• Health – 20
• Unique Abilities:
  • Captain
  • Rally – A random ally within range gains Shield of Hope when a rival is destroyed.
• Unit Abilities:
  • Shield of Hope – Cost: 1 Cinder
    • Reduce next damage to unit by 1.
  • Sword of Justice – Cost: 2 Cinder
    • Deal 3 damage to all units within range.

Extilior slices through their opponents with big damage and tanky abilities to boot. Originally meant to be a mindless exterminator of life called a ‘death bot’, Extilior has broken free from their shackles and gained sentience. Joining the Methedori and becoming a revered leader is just the tip of this metal-plated iceberg. Having the largest damage pool of any captains out the gate, Extiliors’ abilities can help mitigate damage all while dealing a good amount of damage back.

Zax Ja’kar – Smugglers

• Culture – Smugglers
• Attack Type – Ranged
• Base Damage – 2
• Health – 20
• Unique Abilities:
  • Captain
  • “Back off!” – Push target on hit.
• Unit Abilities:
  • Sleeper Mine – Cost: 1 Cinder
    • Create Sleeper Mine. It takes one turn to arm
  • Gravity Well – Cost: 2 Cinder
    • Move units in an area together.

The loud-mouthed flashy Zax Ja’kar is the first smuggler captain. Hopping moon to moon doing whatever he can to swindle, steal, and shoot his way to the next job. He values his jobs so much that even death won’t stop him. Zaxs’ playstyle revolves around maneuverability. Coupled with his abilities that allow players to create space for their units, Zax Ja’kar brings a lot of early and late-game promise to a roster.

All Characters in Moonbreaker: Crew units

Unlike captains, crew units are foot soldiers that help provide the main presence on the map for a roster. Having 10 crew units per roster allows for synergies to be developed between the characters. Crew characters come equipped with a combination of unique abilities and/or one unit ability.

The possibilities (much like this list) are ever-expanding thanks to Unknown Worlds continuing to update the game post-early access launch. As reported by EuroGamer, developers Unknown Worlds have plans to release new crew and captain units every four months. This not only helps promote the potential longevity of the game but also increases diversity in rosters. One can hope that new maps and relics will be included in some of these updates as well.
