Apocrita, the Hive Frame
Apocrita is a support frame based around summoning drones. I named her after a genus of insects containing bees, wasps and several types of ant, which all have a social structure with the queen at the centre and an army of drones around her, appropriate for a summoner. I apologise in advance for the lack of concept art, since I'm no good at drawing, but I wrote a description of her further down. If anyone would like to contribute some art, it would be much appreciated.
Health: 100
Shields: 75
Armour: 125
Energy: 150
Sprint Speed: 1.15
Ability 1: Hive Crack
Apocrita summons three small explosive drones, which seek out large groups of enemies, flying towards them and detonating. This ability benefits from Strength and Range.
Ability 2: Honeycomb
Apocrita summons a drone which provides healing to her and her teammates, prioritising those with the lowest health. Activating this ability again causes the drone to switch modes, making it static and providing a healing net. This net is less powerful, but is capable of healing multiple targets. This ability lasts for 8/12/16/20 seconds, and benefits from Strength, Range and Duration.
Ability 3: Queen's Rally
Apocrita temporarily overcharges her drones, temporarily doubling their power. This buff applies to all drones already summoned, as well as any drones summoned during it's duration. It also applies to the drones of other Apocritas in the team. This ability lasts for 8/12/16/20 seconds, and benefits from Strength and Duration.
Ability 4: Leata
Apocrita summons Leata, her most powerful drone. Leata temporarily flies around the battlefield, fighting with twin machine guns and a charge attack until she is destroyed or the summon duration ends. She has 250 health by default, but this is increased when Apocrita equips health mods. At the end of the duration, Leata discharges her remaining health in a powerful blast and vanishes. This ability lasts for 30 seconds, and benefits from Strength and Duration. Leata is short for Aculeata, a subgenus of Apocrita containing stinging insects.
Passive:
Enemies that attack Apocrita with melee weapons take a small amount of Toxin damage (increased with Strength mods) with a chance to proc.
Here's a prototype script I made for her profile.
"This is Apocrita. The commander. The queen. Utilising the vast army at her disposal, she supports her allies, while overwhelming her foes.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
I won't be doing that today!
