'''Autolances''' ({{ja|キャタガード|Kyatagādo}}, ''Cataguard'') are some of the more powerful enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] and make their first debut in [[The Battlefield Fortress]] level. They move on treads and use giant lances attached to their frontal armor plates to ram and [[attack]]. Autolances do not [[flinch]] from any attack and are quite resistant to attacks, making them somewhat threatening, especially when coupled with other enemies. An Autolance's weak spot is inside its armored-helmet head in the form of an emergency light. This light is exposed once its armor receives enough damage. | '''Autolances''' ({{ja|キャタガード|Kyatagādo}}, ''Cataguard'') are some of the more powerful enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]] and make their first debut in [[The Battlefield Fortress]] level.

Autolances have three different types of attacks - the first is a long-range move where it launches a giant lance at the player which can be reflected.

The second is a close-ranged weak thrust and a skyward swipe that follows up quickly. The first strike inflicts weak knockback, while the latter inflicts mainly vertical knockback. The third is a powerful forward lunge which is extremely fast and somewhat unpredictable, causing strong horizontal knockback. | ||

Autolite's name is a combination of the prefix ''[[Wiktionary:auto-|auto-]]'' (possibly ''automotive''), being a machine capable of moving by itself, and ''[[wikipedia:lance|lance]]'', the weapon it uses to attack. Its appearance seems to be based on the helmet of a medieval knight. The ''-lance'' part of its name could also come from ''ambulance'' since under the helmet is a siren. Once its helmet is knocked off, an Autolance gains speed, the same way an ambulance speeds during an emergency. | |||
