Note: Damage reduction is capped at 90%. Maintain efficiency with 2nd ability.

Simulate Entity

Spoiler

Spawn pre-selected entity from your codex. Activating Simulate Entity consumes 1% efficiency/second. Health and damage multiplier of spawned entity is based on Define Efficiency; 50% gives 1.5x multiplier, 100% gives 3x multiplier
Example: Defined Efficiency 73% with pre-selected entity as Corrupted Heavy Gunner spawns said unit with 2.19x healt and damage multiplier for 73 seconds or when killed.
Note: Obvious spawn restrictions ie. Eidolons. Otherwise its up to you if you want to spawn yourself a tacticool maprico tree with healt multiplier. Maintain efficiency with 2nd ability.

Note 2: Pre-selection is made in the arsenal menu and requires a complete codex entry.

Simulus encounter happens in a random bossfight tile and during the fight Simulus can spawn any entity from the host´s codex album. Simulus drops its blueprint and parts with 25% chance each.

I like it. I would make sense for Similaris to make an attempt to replace you as the main hunter for the sanctuary. I am just curious why he would need the play in the first place then.
