Omega Strikershasan ever-growing roster of vibrant characterswith a range of skills, which go hand in hand with its array of different gear and boosts to give the player an edge over their opposition. Of those boosts are the Awakenings, which are a pool of 34 different attribute bonuses that are assigned the player at the start of each game. Of these 34 different stat boosts, these are the ones that stand out as providing the best on-field advantages in the game.
10Unstoppable
An Awakening thatrewards those that can be agileand avoid damage at all costs. When a player equipped with the Unstoppable, Awakening is not in a staggered state, they have a 90% bolster to their knock back resistance and a 10% reduction in the amount of damage taken.
This Awakening will make knocking out the player more difficult, which allows their character to launch an offense themselves to stagger the opposition or put the Core in the goal.
9Chronoboost
Giving a statistical boost across 3 categories and stretching out the duration of ability perks, the Chronoboost Awakening is certainly good value for money. Whether players need to cover more distance on their dash moves or extend the life of their abilities, the Chronoboost will do the trick.
This Awakening adds another 75% to dash range, blink range, and the player’s haste effects. To add icing to the cake of this already-significant boost, any ability increases for positive effects or decreases for negative effects will last 35% longer.
8Big Fish
Whether players want to take a big guy like Debu and make him bigger, or take a smaller striker and turn them intoa far more sizable adversary, the Big Fish Awakening has got everyone covered.
This Awakening gives players a 40% size increase for their character and a maximum stagger of 300, making them a far more difficult opponent to stun or knock out. Not only will their character cast a larger shadow over the opposition, they’ll also be much harder to put down.
7Missile Propulsion
Players usinga character with ranged abilitieswill hit the jackpot if they are assigned the Missile Propulsion Awakening. This skill boost is tailored to characters that use projectiles to attack the Core of the opposition with greater range, while packing an even bigger punch.

The Missile Propulsion Awakening gives all projectiles fired an additional 70% range, making it much easier to hit targets from a distance. To compliment the increase in range, the projectiles will find their home in their target with 15% more power, which could be enough to deliver the knockout blow.
6Built Different
to be successful in the footbrawl that isOmega Strikers, you’ve got to be built different. For those who aren’t, the Built Different Awakening offers a boost that’ll have characters punching the Core and their opposition far harder and with more devastating effect.
The Built Different Awakening gives characters a 40% boost in size and a 15% increase in the power of their impact abilities, including a 3% boost in how hard the Core is hit. This Awakening will be a rude one for anyone on the receiving end of a character boosted by its perks.
5Glass Cannon
Much like a cannon made out of glass, this Awakening’s effectiveness is determined by the player’sability to showcase their powerwithout getting hit. The Glass Cannon will gift the agile and evasive a boost in their power and quickness, so long as they prove difficult to strike.
The Glass Cannon gives the player +10 power every 2.5 seconds until their boost reaches its maximum of 40. The same principle applies for speed, with the player’s quickness increasing by 5% every 2.5 seconds until they hit 20%. This Awakening is a very effective boost that can give the player an advantage on the field, but the stats will reset each time they take damage.
4Timeless Creator
For players that select characters with creation skills, it would be considered fortunate to acquire a Timeless Creator Awakening in the pre-game team selections. This Awakening will boost any player creations, allowing them to serve their purpose for longer periods of time.

The Timeless Creator Awakening gives any player creations a 70% increase in duration on the field and adds another 50% in size. This will come in handy for characters such as Atlas, who uses a celestialguardian to heal alliesand an expanding ring of light to cause damage to the opposition.
3Quick Strike
Every player on the roster ofOmega Strikershas a basic move to strike the ball. It is the fastest way to attack the Core and is effective for goalies looking to move away from their scoring zone, and for forwards to put it in the back of the opposition net. With the Quick Strike Awakening active, this fundamental piece to a potentially winning puzzle becomes more readily available.
The Quick Strike Awakening reduces the time it takes for the strike to become available by a staggering 25%. What’s more, 1 additional energy is gifted to the player for each strike. This Awakening is one of the most useful in the game as it increases the availability of the game’s most basic attacking play.
2Aerials
There are a few Awakenings that offer a boost in dash range, blink range and haste effects, but none of them compliment these boosts with their secondary perk the way the Aerials Awakening does. Much like the Chronoboost, the Aerials Awakening grants players a 75% increase in dash range, blink range and haste effects, but it’s the additional boost that sets it apart.
Players with the Aerials perk will receive a 35% increase in projectile range, allowing greater distance to be covered in attacks. For characters will projectile abilities, this means their character will be able to cover greater distance moving, react faster and hit their target from further away.
1Monumentalist
Juno is the focal point for this Awakening asshe is one of the best characterson theOmega Strikersroster with creation abilities. Combining the green alien with a Monumentalist Awakening takes her little green blob friends to the next level.
The Monumentalist Awakening gives any creations on the field a size boost of 100% with an added power boost of 25%. While the majority of this power boost goes towards striking members of the opposition, creations under this Awakening will also hit the Core 5% harder, which could be a difference maker when the puck is heading for the goal.
