As you explore the vast open world of Tower of Fantasy, you may come across a unique powerful foe – the Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat. This upgraded elite version of the standard Security Droids presents a formidable challenge for even experienced players. If you want to take down the Big Rat and claim the sweet loot rewards, you’ll need to find its spawn locations and go in prepared with the right strategy.
In this comprehensive guide, I’ll share everything you need to know as a fellow geek and expert gamer to track down and defeat the Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat. With the inside tips I provide, you can show this oversized rodent who’s the real boss!
Security Droids – The robotic protectors of Tower of Fantasy
First, let’s do a quick lore recap. In Tower of Fantasy, robotic enemies known as Security Droids help defend settlements and old ruins across the planet Aida. According to the game’s official art book, these mass-produced worker robots were created by an unknown ancient civilization to maintain facilities, prevent intruders, and guard relics.
Security Droids come in flying and ground varieties. They wield either laser rifles or long energy spears. While not too threatening alone, they can swarm players in groups. Defeating Security Droids is typically an early milestone for beginners.
But now, an upgraded elite variant has appeared – the Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat. This unique model resembles a giant robotic rat and poses a far greater challenge compared to standard Security Droids. Let’s look at why the Big Rat is such a formidable adversary.
Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat – Stats and Abilities
The Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat truly lives up to its name as a big bad robotic rat. Here are the key stats and capabilities that make it a deadly enemy:
Health: 50,000+ HP at base level (5-10x higher than normal Security Droids)
Defense: 600+ Armor (Very high damage reduction)
Weapon: Signature orange glowing energy spear with extended melee reach
Damage Type: Deals heavy physical damage plus Corrosion elemental damage
Attacks: Sweeping spear spins, charging spear thrusts, rapid jab combos, explosive laser beam from its eye
Agility: Surprisingly fast movement and attack speed for its size
Special Features:Detects threats from long range, summons reinforcements when health is low
As you can see, everything about the Big Rat is upgraded – health, defense, damage output, abilities, etc. It‘s capabilities match or even exceed many late-game Field Bosses! This presents a dramatic jump in difficulty from routine Security Droid fights early players are used to.
Let‘s compare some key stats between the standard MD-01 Security Droid vs the Type S12 Big Rat:
| Stats | MD-01 Security Droid | Type S12 Big Rat |
|---|---|---|
| Health | 2,000 HP | 50,000+ HP |
| Armor | 120 | 600+ |
| Damage | 100-200 | 800-5,000 |
| Attacks | Spear thrusts and spins | Sweeping spins, charges, jabs, beam |
As you can see, the Type S12 Big Rat is in a completely different league compared to standard Security Droids in every regard. You’ll need proper preparations and strategy to face this beast and come out on top.
Locating the Sneaky Spawn Points of the Type S12 Big Rat
Now that you know what you are up against, let’s look at where you can find this formidable foe. The Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat only spawns randomly at fixed locations around Aida. Unlike major Field Bosses, it does not appear visibly on the main map.
According to player reports, the Big Rat’s possible spawn points include:
Location 1: Mine Base – Coordinates (301.5, 337.3)
Location 2: Southeast of Ring Arena – Coordinates (290.0, -215.7)
Location 3: South of Puddled Lake – Coordinates (-255.7, 148.2)
Location 4: Sea Gate Passage – Coordinates (45.2, 388.2)
Location 5: Rusty Iron Camp – Coordinates (407.7, -2.4)
I recommend setting custom pins or waypoints on your map for each of these locations. The Big Rat spawns randomly in one of these areas, then patrols back and forth in the vicinity. It does not have a 100% chance to appear – you may need to visit multiple times or change channels/servers to get it to spawn.
Based on crowdsourced player reports, the estimated spawn chance is around 30% per visit. The good news is once it spawns, the Big Rat sticks around for 20-30 minutes before despawning. This gives you ample time to react and rush over to battle it.
When hunting for the Big Rat, look for its distinguishing features like the massive size and glowing orange spear. The areas it patrols also conveniently lack other players, so you won‘t have competition. With some luck and patience, you‘ll eventually spot the Big Rat for your chance to take it down and loot rewards.
Recommended Combat Rating to Survive the Big Rat Onslaught
Now that you know where to find the Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat, what combat rating do you need to actually defeat it? As you might expect, this upgraded elite enemy requires significantly higher combat power than regular mobs.
Based on community feedback, here are the recommended CP levels for Big Rat at various spawn locations:
| Spawn Location | Recommended CP |
|---|---|
| Mine Base | > 5,000 CP |
| Ring Arena | > 7,000 CP |
| Puddled Lake | > 8,000 CP |
| Sea Gate Passage | > 12,000 CP |
| Rusty Iron Camp | > 15,000 CP |
As you progress to higher level zones, the Big Rat scales up accordingly and becomes even more deadly. Don’t expect to solo it easily right away – patience and proper leveling will make this fight smoother.
I recommend being at least 1,000 to 1,500 CP above the recommended minimums to have an easier time against the Type S12 Big Rat. The extra power gives you more of a cushion for mistakes.
Builds and Weapons to Counter the Big Rat
Alright, you know where to find the Big Rat and what power level you need. Now let’s discuss the optimal character builds, weapons, and attack strategies to employ against this beast.
Based on my experience helping fellow players defeat the Type S12 Big Rat, I recommend the following:
Range is crucial – Given the Big Rat‘s long melee reach, kiting and keeping your distance makes avoiding its deadly combos much easier. Ranged weapons and attacks are highly advantageous.
Shieldbreaking is a must – The Big Rat‘s high physical and elemental defenses mean shieldbreaker weapons that can penetrate its armor are essential.
Interrupts stop its deadliness combos – Landing weapon discharge interrupts during the Big Rat‘s major attacks will make the fight far smoother.
Frost slows it down – Its fast movement and attack speed means frost elemental attacks are useful for slowing the Big Rat.
Flamethrowers melt its chassis – High flame and corrosion damage weapons efficiently whittle down its health.
Based on these strategies, some ideal weapons and builds include:
- Crow (Bow) – Excellent range and shieldbreaking shots
- Samir (Pistols) – Rapid fire interrupts and shieldbreaker
- King (Machine gun) – High flame damage plus long range
- Shiro (Greatsword) – Massive shieldbreaking and frost attacks
Pair these with support from healers like Zero and Coco Ritter to sustain your HP against the Big Rat‘s onslaught. Proper kiting, interrupting, and shieldbreaking are the keys to victory.
Step-By-Step Guide to Big Rat Mechanics and Strategy
Alright, it‘s time to summon the Type S12 Security Droid Big Rat and test your mettle. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of its attack patterns and how to counter them:
1. Initiate the Fight from Max Range
Stealth isn‘t an option against its sensors, so ignite the fight with your longest range attacks and keep distance.
2. Beware its Charging Spear Thrusts
It will periodically charge forward with powerful impaling strikes. Dodge these at all costs.
3. Watch for Spinning Whirlwinds
When beside you, it spins its spear in deadly circular slashes. Keep away from these.
4. Stay Mobile to Avoid Combos
Strafe and keep moving to avoid its jab combos and laser beam focus.
5. Save Interrupts for Beam Attacks
Time weapon discharges to interrupt when it stops and fires its eye beam.
6. Freeze It to Slow Its Advance
Use Frost attacks when it charges to temporarily halt its momentum.
7. Flank and Shieldbreak Its Defense
Circle to its sides and back for safe damage windows against its armor.
8. Burst Down Its Health
Unload your hardest hitting attacks and discharges once its defenses are down.
9. Reposition and Heal
If your HP gets low, retreat and heal up before it can finish you off.
Follow these steps, and you‘ll dismantle the Big Rat‘s deadly arsenal. Stay frosty and keep your focus, and victory will soon be yours!
