Thrall

Thralls are survivors turned by the Red Element of the Lost King on Lost Colony in ASA. They are the first humanoid creatures players can recruit as tames, and they come in many armed types, from harvesters to snipers.

Where to find it

Only on Lost Colony, where they defend outposts and the Lost King's buildings. They usually leave other Red Element survivors alone unless provoked.

How to get one

They cannot be tamed in the wild. Clear a raid outpost mission and loot the outpost vault: it can hold one or more Thralls. The type is random and the level follows the difficulty you picked. A recruited Thrall comes out of the vault as it is, not in a cryopod, so it has to be carried out.

Uses

• Harvesting: some types gather Thatch, Wood and Fiber early on.
• Combat: ranged types scale with their weapon skill and usually deal more damage than melee ones.

Tips

Thralls heal from Blood Packs or Sweet Vegetable Cakes. Loot on a dead Thrall is taken from the corpse, as with bosses, and the bodies fade quickly.
