The game splits players into two distinct roles, Forward or Goalie, each with their own style of gear to give them an edge in their preferred position. With a choice between 4 different gear additives to complement the player’s chosen character, it is important to distinguish between each of them to bring the best out of the character’s skill set.
4Strike Shot
With a well-aimed and well-timed strike, goalies can very quickly turn a defensive sequence into an attacking threat. With some luck or careful consideration of angles, the open space available on the field can even turn a save into a goal on the opposite end of the park. InOmega Strikers, a major contributor to providing space for the Core to find a home in the opposing goal is the ability for players to knock out members of the opposition team and render them incapacitated for a period of time.

With the Strike Shot, goalies can put an aggressive strategy into practice and attack the Core and their opposition with greater effectiveness and efficiency. Goalies equipped with the Strike Shot fire off projectiles 35% faster, enabling them to catch their opponents off-guard. In addition to this, goalies will also fire a projectile of their own volition every 12 seconds when a strike is made. Some gear is for defenders, some for attackers - this one is for the bully.
3Momentum Boots
The scoring zone inOmega Strikerstakes up a significant amount of space compared to the characters themselves, so having someone with a speed advantage over their opposition can certainly help maintain a clean sheet. The Momentum Boots will give an additional advantage to those who have a predisposition for speed, however, they can be used to level out a character’s stats as well. For those who opt for size or power over speed to protect the goal area, the Momentum Boots can help balance out the disparity in quickness.
The Momentum Boots grant a 5% speed boost, with the possibility of reaching up to 15% over 10 seconds. Wearers of the boots will be weary to not be struck by a member of the opposition, as getting hit will reset the speed boost. With the added pace, players will have a much better chance to keep their opposition to 0 and will find their characterdancing around the field in celebration. For the ultimate goal protection, the Momentum Boots would add to the already formidable goal-keeping skills of characters like Asher.
2Powerhouse Pauldrons
With a significant increase in size and power, complemented by a reduction in how much damage the player takes, the Powerhouse Pauldrons are a solid choice to turna goalie into a true wall of defense. Given the depth in statistical advantages, this gear brings to the table, the Pauldrons are an ideal asset to any goalie, regardless of the character chosen for the position.

The Powerhouse Pauldrons offer a staggering 40% increase in the character’s size, a 15% bump-up in power, and reduce damage taken by an additional 15%. While this gear would benefit just about anyone, characters already with significant size, such as Debu, become an even larger and more intimidating presence by the scoring zone, makingone of the best guardiansin the game even better.
1Eject Button
Like pushing the eject button and being propelled from a moving vehicle, the Eject Button goalie gear is all kinds of chaotic. This gear is teeming with benefits, making it one of the better choices for any character guarding the goal space. Goalies wielding the Eject Button gain a whopping 50% boost in dash range, blink range, and haste effectiveness. To add the icing to the cake, the character’s secondary ability cooldown is reduced by a staggering 20%.
The plethora of benefits that come with the Eject Button makes it an ideal addition to just aboutany character available from theOmega Strikersroster, whether they be big and powerful or agile and quick. For players who have taken a liking to a particular character and their abilities, this gear is perfect for enabling secondary skills to be utilized more frequently throughout the match. Given the pace of the game and the quick thinking it requires, having a faster cooldown could give players the slight edge they need to turn a match in their favor. In a game where careful use of abilities could be the difference between victory and defeat, the Eject Button is the perfect escape clause.
