Backwarp is a support power available for the Allies from their Experimental Warpshop once a Tech Center is built. It uses chrono technology to undo the damage suffered by the affected units, essentially restoring their health. Backwarp lasts 5 instances before completion.

While Backwarp is also capable of removing EMP from the affected units, it is unable to remove Terror Drones; because the drone is inside the vehicle, it has to be removed by repair vehicles. But Backwarp can drive the drone out of the parasitic unit.

AI behavior[]

The AI will use Backwarp at the center of their own base (near their Construction Yard), which results in inefficient use of the support power.

Appearances[]

Fortunately, the Chrono Legion was prepared in time. Heal them with Backwarp.
—Allied intel during Operation: Bottleneck

Act Two[]

  • The Backwarp is first usable in the campaign in Bottleneck. In this mission, Convergence (except the period when commanding Norio) , the first phase of Parasomnia and the first phase of Withershins (except on Mental difficulty), Backwarp can be activated without the need of a Experimental Warpshop.
  • In Reality Check, a crate that allows Libra to use a 1-time Backwarp is present next to an Allied Cargo Plane wreckage on the path to the ex-Epsilon base in the first phase (doesn't appear on Mental difficulty). Backwarp is also used by Norio during the final boss battle when he's at 50% health.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In 3.0 Backwarp was only a one-time use and therefore it healed less damage in a smaller area but it was available earlier as it only required a Tech Center.
  • The Backwarp healed all damage done to units, regardless of their hit points and armor levels, in older builds of Mental Omega.
