Skid Step
The Skid Step module is one of the least good ones that Exoprimal has to offer. Skid Dodge, which is how Roadblock moves, isn’t very good to begin with. It doesn’t get him very far, it starts up slowly, and there are important seconds at the end of the ability’s use before players can take control of the Exosuit again. The Skid Step module doesn’t make a big difference to this skill.
Instead, this feature gives Skid Dodge two more charges, so that players can use it up to three times in a row. It also makes Roadblock move farther when this ability is used, but its use is instantly diminished by the fact that the ability’s cooldown time increases when this module is equipped. This is the worst thing that players of Roadblock can do.
Knuckle Duster
The Knuckle Duster module encourages a more offensive way to play Roadblock, which is pretty different from most of the other Roadblock modules. Many of Roadblock’s modules help him play more defensively by making his shield stronger or giving him more ways to stun. Instead, Knuckle Duster rewards players who know when to drop their shields and start a fight.
While Roadblock is punching with his signature weapon, the Haymaker, the Knuckle Duster module makes the Exosuit’s defense stronger, reducing all damage that comes in. This means that Roadblock can take more damage. He is still a tank, but he will also do some damage to his enemies. This feature is fun for tanks that want to get right into the fight with Exosuits that do damage through close combat, but it’s not the best way to load up in the game.
Skid Dodge+
The Skid Dodge+ module is a straight improvement from the Skid Step module. This module understands that the base Skid Dodge ability isn’t very useful as a way to move around, so it boosts the ability to play the tank role of Roadblock. With Skid Dodge+ equipped, players can use Skid Dodge to stun dinosaurs and enemy Exosuits, giving their friends valuable time to kill the defenseless enemies.
Even though Ballistic Wall’s Shield Blast ability already stuns, this module gives players a new way to keep up the pressure while repeating cooldowns. Skid Dodge+ helps keep the offensive and defensive types of play in Roadblock in balance, making it a good choice for tank players who like to take risks.
Stun Blast
The Shield Blast skill of Roadblock is made better by the Stun Blast module. The Shield Bash is already very good. It makes room for Roadblock’s teammates and does a lot of damage when it hits more than one dinosaur. With the Stun Blast module, though, the Shield Blast becomes even more powerful. The chance to stun dinosaurs for longer amounts of time goes up a lot, and now enemy Exosuits that are hit by this attack are also stunned.
Even the bad thing about this module can turn out to be a good thing. With the Stun Blast module, Shield Bash does less damage to enemy dinosaurs when it hits them. This gives Roadblock’s team less room, but it also means that as soon as Roadblock lowers his shield, they’ll be stunned right where they can be punched. Again, this is a great choice for Roadblock players who want to protect their allies from enemy forces while also hurting the enemy’s numbers.
Tower Shield
The Tower Shield module is one of the best for players who take the tank job seriously. It makes sure that players will protect their team from as much damage as possible. Each level of Tower Shield makes Roadblock’s Ballistic Wall last longer. At level one, Tower Shield makes it last 400 hit points longer. By the time Tower Shield reaches level 5, the Ballistic Wall will have a huge 1000 more hitpoints.
This is a huge help in tough fights, especially ones with big dinosaurs or enemies in exosuits. When certain hits can do 15-20% of the damage needed to break Roadblock’s shield, it’s never a bad idea to make it stronger so it can take even more damage.
Legendary Taunt
The Legendary Taunt module makes two of Roadblock’s most important skills work together perfectly. Roadblock’s Taunt is meant to make enemies attack his friends instead of him, so he will take a lot of damage right after using it. It’s important to have the Ballistic Wall ready to take some of the damage coming at you, which is where the Legendary Taunt module shines.
This module restores the Ballistic Wall’s shield integrity as long as Roadblock’s Taunt is active. This lets Roadblock draw attention away from his friends, gather a lot of enemies, and then pull up the fully charged shield when things get out of hand. This is one of the best tools in Spacebar Clicker for players who want to keep their damage dealers and healers safe so they can tear the dinosaurs to pieces.
