Helicopters

<- Go Back

Wingman Helicopters are unlocked when your mansion reaches level 18.
There are 5 helicopters available: Purple Birdy MH-1 and Golden helicopters Cobra AH-1, Kasatka UH-1, Apollyon SH-1 and Rhino UH-2.

Helicopters provide support to crime ops during battle, boost ops’ damage, and reduce ops’ received damage.

Leveling up the helicopter to levels 10, 20, and 40 respectively can unlock even more abilities. Helicopter’s level EXP items can be attained by defeating street forces daily.

Fragments of Helicopters can be used to unlock and star up the corresponding helicopter. Upgrading their star grade can improve their stats and abilities.

Helo Gear Components provide helicopter stats when equipped. Ger components can be upgraded by consuming other components as materials.

While in an Ops, the helicopter can only cause damage to the opponent’s helicopter and provide their side’s crew with enormous bonuses (based on its actual abilities) during the helicopter’s combat round, which lasts a maximum of 30 rounds.

If a helicopter’s health reaches zero during the combat rounds, it will no longer be active in battle. Likewise, if the helicopter has remaining health, it can continue to trigger abilities and support its crew till the 30th helicopter round ends. In the case where the battle ends in advance, then the helicopter’s combat will also end in advance.

RAIDING (permalink)

In a Raid, only the helicopter of the initiator takes part in the battle. Each round’s skill effects, intended to aid the initiator’s crew, are dispersed individually among the crews participating in the raid. Those supportive effects differ according to the characteristics of the crews. However, the specific round effects are not documented in the helicopter battle report during the raid.

HELICOPTER’S ARMOR (permalink)

A specialized armor provided to ops by a helicopter, takes priority during damage calculation. It’s designed to absorb 50% of the damage from a single incoming attack, using up a corresponding armor value to mitigate the blow. Any damage that exceeds the armor’s protection is then applied as usual. If the armor’s value is insufficient to offset the full 50% the nullified portion will be based on the armor consumed. Any non-nullified portions will be factored into the total damage calculation with the remaining portion. The armor lasts either until it is fully depleted or until the helicopter providing the coverage exits the combat.

HELO INNOVATION AGENCY (permalink)

Helo Innovation Agency allows you to do innovations on your helicopter by using Helo Ingenuity Chips. Innovations can increase helicopter’s attributes, level limit, stamina, unlocks extra gear slot and more. To go to innovations, you have to go to your mansion, click on the helicopter, Equip tab and the middle icon.
To be able to do innovations, you need Help Ingenuity Chip which can either be bought with real money (surprise, surprise) or you can get it by defeating Skeletons.

You can spend them in General Revamp category – which affects all helicopters, or you can work on helicopter specific upgrades.

HELICOPTER’S ABILITIES (permalink)
