Suggested Cost: 87,000
This Grade Up was designed specifically to mesh with the Power Connector of the King Liger, and raises the power and attacking capability of the King Liger by a good degree. The Flight Manoeuvre Pack consists of two thin wing blades that serve more as aerofoils, allowing the King Liger to pull far more impressive stunts of agility and skill. However, the wing blades can emit specialized planar energy, much like how an E-Shield does, by drawing power from the E-Shield generators in the legs of the King Liger. While this disables the E-Shield, it creates quite a large wing area for the King to utilize, and with a set of small aerial-quality boosters installed in the back, the King Liger is capable of sustaining flight for as long as twelve seconds before the boosters need to shut down and recharge, which takes about six seconds. While the boosters are in use, the top speed of the King Liger increases to 320 km/h while running, and 370 in flight.
Also included with the flight pack are a pair of specialized Balkan cannons, that fire packets of super-heated particles at a rate of roughly twice a second from each barrel, meaning roughly four shots per second per cannon. These particle packets are incredibly condensed and have excellent piercing ability, able to break through shields with relative ease. However, being so condensed, they only do damage much like an AZ20mm beam.
Being designed specifically for the King Liger, the Wing Rider modification can utilize the Energy Management System, which increases the power of a specific device at the expense of others. If the power is rerouted to the Flight Manoeuvre Pack, the boosters become much more powerful, allowing the King Liger to take to the air for roughly 24 seconds instead of 12, and propelling it to heights of roughly two hundred meters. However, after that use, they burn out, and the Flight Manoeuvre Pack can’t be used again. The power can also be redirected to the Balkan Cannons, which increases their firing rate to roughly four times per second per barrel, and the calibre increases to AZ40mm. Overall, an excellent purchase for any King Liger owner.
