Good day, Lads and Lasses, and Hail to thee.
I just wanted to ask how one may get a Battle Sprite.
Does one buy it at the Bazaar?
Or receive it in a mission?
Or something else.
I've seen many higher level players with these robots in the Clockworks.
I mean... I'm not bitter or anything...
Thanks.
At rank 2-2 you can try out all 3 sprites in their respective missions. Just keep doing the rank missions, and you'll get there soon.
At rank 2-3 you can choose one of them, and it'll be yours.
Sprites can also be purchased from the supply depot for 2100 energy, but you shouldn't care about that for now.
There are also multiple skins for sprites, obtainable from special prize boxes, and 2 of the skins are craftable - those require a normal sprite pod, though.
The one you saw was the skin for the drakon, it is one of the rarer skins.

They're from missions
specifically the "able to get to after playing for less than a day" early ones, so you don't need to be patient
Leveling them, on the other hand, requires you to do a lot of waiting
