War machines often found patrolling ruins, remnants from the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah. They deal Physical DMG exclusively.

Elite Enemies

• Humanoid Ruin Machines – A sub-group of humanoid Ruin Machines. Their form is limited to what was preengineered.
  • Ruin Guard – Large machines that guard ruins. They attack with homing missiles and their powerful arms.
  • Ruin Hunter – War machines armed with sharp appendages that have propellers instead of legs. They can also fire barrages of missiles.
  • Ruin Grader – A giant war machine that looks like a larger, stronger Ruin Guard. They are completely silent compared to the other two variants.
• Ruin Sentinels – A series of unusual machines that take on many forms to attack enemies with a variety of attacks.
  • Ruin Cruiser – A hovering machine composed of multiple interdependent parts, themed after honeybee colonies.
  • Ruin Destroyer – A machine that anchors itself in the ground to attack, themed after a plant, possibly Regisvines.
  • Ruin Defender – A machine equipped with a shield, themed after an insect, possibly beetles.
  • Ruin Scout – A hovering machine that sets dangerous energy orbs on the field, themed after jellyfish.

Trivia

• Although not listed in the Archive, the Defense Mechanisms mainly found in Dragonspine also can be considered as Automaton-like enemies. Like the Maguu Kenki, they are likely unrelated to the Ruin Machines.
