Pulse Demons are

Spawning in as Pulse Demon

A Pulse Demon can be chosen to spawn in as a random medium midround event. You spawn in a random cable [CHECK THIS].

Hijacking The Party

As a Pulse Demon, your first and foremost goal is to hack APCs. You can do this by moving onto the tile of one, which will start a timer, after which the APC is hijacked, and your max power doubles. You can upgrade the speed of hacking APCs. You can't only hack APCs. Other things include a SMES, which is a very good source of power if you are starting out. Some good upgrades to start with are: - Increase Capacity. Especially if you start draining SMES', you want this to steal more power at a time, and upgrade more abilities at once. - Absorption. Also very useful if you are mostly draining SMES', this allows you to be even faster in obtaining more charge. - Speed. Hijacking APCs is a very good way to increase your maximum charge, and the base time to hack an APC is ~30 seconds.

The moment the crew is aware of your presence, you should invest in the maximum HP, Efficiency and Endurance upgrades so you are harder to kill. If the crew is aware of you, they will come at you with tools such as Ion guns and EMPs. These are very dangerous and should be avoided at all cost. If you see someone with an Ion rifle, you can also try and EMP them (Don't hit yourself) so the charge of their gun will be drained. If the crew takes action via cutting cables and depowering the station, invest in Endurance, and find some undrained power sources, such as the Solar SMES and unhijacked APCs.
