On Hit: Bone Crusher: On a hit, the target must make a DC 16 Structure Save or suffer a critical structural crack, reducing their armor rating by 1d10 until repaired.
On Critical Hit: Bone Crusher Devastation: On a critical hit, the target is knocked prone and loses their next movement action as limbs or stabilizers buckle.
On Hit: Parasite Leeching Beam: Each successful hit siphons 1d4 heat from the target mech and reduces the Vortex's own heat track by that amount (min 0).
Passive: Parasite Neural Tap: At the start of each round, if an enemy mech within 60 ft is emitting heat above 15, the Vortex gains +1 to all attack rolls until the end of its next turn.
Activated: Emergency Heat Vents: Once per encounter, as a bonus action, reduce current heat by 8. All enemies within 10 ft take 2d6 fire damage.
On Overheat: Bone Crusher Overcharge: If the mech overheats while the Blade of Destiny is equipped, the blade surges with unstable kinetic energy. The next melee attack deals an additional 3d10 crushing damage but the mech takes 1d6 internal structural damage.
