Despite the similar name, clockwork cult is nothing like the blood cult of Nar-Sie. While they both involve conversion (being cults) and both of their ultimate goals are to summon their respective gods, the similarities end there. While the blood cult is focused on sabotage, chaos, and stealth due to their status as normal crew, the servants of Ratvar need to worry about no such thing. | Despite the similar name, clockwork cult is nothing like the blood cult of Nar-Sie.

If you have experience with the blood cult, you can think of the clockwork slab as your version of a tome.

=== Power === | ===Power=== | ||
Servants don't use their own blood to power their magic like Nar-Sie's cult. Instead, they use power, measured in joules. Just any power doesn't work for servants' tools, though. Power can be generated in various ways through different items and structures. Ensuring that you have a healthy supply of power is both easy to do and critically important to succeed as a servant. | Servants don't use their own blood to power their magic like Nar-Sie's cult.

This will allow a fellow servant to give up his mortal body to become Ravtar's closest connection to the mortal plane, '''The Eminence'''. The Eminece is a ghost-like invisible presence with the sole purpose of organizing and ordering the Servants. You can vote against a Servant becoming The Eminence if you interact the Spire after he/she has used it. There are also three ''cogscarab shells'' here; any ghost can activate one to become a cogscarab, which is a tiny little clockwork construction drone built to build and reinforce!

If your team is feeling confident or doesn't intend to use stealthy tactics, you might want to consider heralding Ratvar - effectively declaring war. In a room below the Ark is a machine called the herald's beacon. From the start of the round, the team has five minutes to vote on whether to activate it, with at least half of the team needing to cast votes in favor of activation. If activated, an announcement will immediately be made to the crew giving away all pretense of stealth, but you gain various benefits from this: | If your team is feeling confident or doesn't intend to use stealthy tactics, you might want to consider heralding Ratvar - effectively declaring war.

== Scripture == | *All servants are transformed from their current race into modified clockwork golems that are ''immune to high pressure, low pressure, radiation, resistant to cold, cannot bleed, don't breathe, don't hunger, don't get lit on fire, can't be dismembered, can't be embedded, deal more damage on punching and have a chance to stun, have 15% flat damage reduction against all sources.'' For obvious reasons, this makes you stick out like a sore thumb, so you may consider disguiseing since you can wear clothes unlike other golems. Lastly, '''You can't fire guns''' | ||
*Holy Water can still deconvert you. | |||
*Clockwork slabs become supercharged and recite all scripture 30% faster. | |||
*Every power cost is invisibly reduced by 50% of its original value. | |||
*When the initial preparation phase is finished, the assault phase will begin immediately with no 5 minute grace period | |||

Scripture are the unique powers that clockwork cultists possess. They cost power to consume and vary widely in effects; from healing allies to creating power generators to building defenses, they are one of your most vital tools as a servant, and secondary only to teamwork in ensuring your victory. To recite scripture, use your clockwork slab and make sure you have the Recital tab open. | Scripture are the unique powers that clockwork cultists possess.

One of your primary objectives should be to disrupt the production of such devices before the five minute grace period. The armory can be easily looted with an accomplice to eliminate the security robot, genetics and cargo can be subverted or destroyed, Research can be wiped with a screwdriver and teleports to three rooms, and recovery of these assets can be prevented with a trip to engineering storage.

Giving a taser to a convert and setting them on their friends isn't the worst way to round up more converts. | The primary threats in the defensive phase are the advanced weapons in the armory, cargo, and science, Genetics monsters, and RCD's. One of your primary objectives should be to disrupt the production of such devices before the five minute grace period. The armory can be easily looted with an accomplice to eliminate the security robot, genetics and cargo can be subverted or destroyed, Research can be wiped with a screwdriver and teleports to three rooms, and recovery of these assets can be prevented with a trip to engineering storage. Your teleport is basically free, abuse this as often as possible. armory weapons are much more powerful and concealable then anything you get early in the round. Giving a taser to a convert and setting them on their friends isn't the worst way to round up more converts. | ||

You can teleport into areas without the crew knowing by warping into airlocks. Extra points if you have kindle prepared beforehand for an instant warp-->stun. The airlock actually hides the animation of you shifting in, allowing for you to ambush and nab the HOP/HOS/Capt/whatever important target. | You can teleport into areas without the crew knowing by warping into airlocks.

Although the servants of Ratvar are gifted with great power, they are still threatened by many things on the station. This can range from enemy cultists to things as simple as hard vacuum. | Although the servants of Ratvar are gifted with great power, they are still threatened by many things on the station.

The one thing that Ratvar hates more than people telling him that he has a bad name are the followers of his nemesis, Nar-Sie. Not only are Ratvar's servants incapable of converting them, but they endeavor to do the very thing that Ratvar wants to prevent: Nar-Sie's arrival into the mortal plane. The two cults are enemies of one another, serving rival gods with rival goals. As such, Ratvarian magic will be more effective against Nar-Sian cultists. The opposite is also true; much of Nar-Sie's magic is more effective against Ratvar's servants. | The one thing that Ratvar hates more than people telling him that he has a bad name are the followers of his nemesis, Nar-Sie.

Nar-Sie's cult is generally absent on the stations that Ratvar's servants are present, but the watchful eye of [[Security]] and [[Chaplain|heretical priests]] is ever-present. A tactical security assault can demolish the most well-prepared servant defences, and the [[Chaplain#Null_Rod|chaplain's holy weapon]] weakens the Justiciar's magic; a holy weapon makes the user totally immune to the affects of sigils, for instance, and [[Chaplain#GET_BEHIND_ME_NAR-NAR_RATVAR|holy water]] will purge the light of Ratvar from even the most powerful servant's mind, given time. | Nar-Sie's cult is generally absent on the stations that Ratvar's servants are present, but the watchful eye of [[Security]] and [[Chaplain|heretical priests]] is ever-present.

It should be one of the servants' top priorities to [[Guide to toxins|damage]] and [[Armory|hamper]] Security. The [[Warden]] and the [[Head of Security]] can issue powerful weapons to loyal crew, which will make your time defending a whole lot harder if the crew is armed with e-guns and laser guns rather than spears. Keep in mind that servants cannot normaly convert security officers due to their mindshield implant, though. If you feel like going the extra mile, you can abduct an officer (or, even better, the HoS), and teleport them to surgery with a friend to [[Beyond the impossible|surgically remove the implant in order to convert them]]. As for the chaplain? Well, Ratvar says "Suffer not a heretic to live", so the answer should be self-evident. | It should be one of the servants' top priorities to [[Guide to toxins|damage]] and [[Armory|hamper]] Security.
