Assault Booster

The Assault Booster is one of three Booster items in Hazard ReBurst meant to enhance a player's avatar past the level cap. Much rarer than the Evolve Charger but not as rare as the Override Booster, its use is almost non-existent, reserved to only a select few players who own and refuse to use this item. Some avoid its power due to the strain, but others avoid it so they won't be hunted for the item.

Design
The Assault Booster is an octagonal device with clamps on each edge and a red dome made of reinforced polycarbonate glass in the center. A circle with eight spokes sits inside of this dome, awaiting the user's input to begin the enhancement process. The aforementioned clamps which secure the Assault Booster to the user's Anti-Hazard Armor Gear Core.

Usage
To use the Assault Booster, the user must expose their Anti-Hazard Armor Gear's Frame Core, then attach the item to the Core. Once secured to the core, the circle within the dome emits a red light and begins collecting energy. The brighter the light, the more energy gathered. Once the light hits peak brightness, the user then interacts with the Booster's dome however they see fit; slapping it, tapping it, etc. When the dome has registered the user's motion in this standby state, the Assault Booster forces the user to release a beam of energy into the sky above them, creating a pillar of light reaching out to space before its enhancement system activates, enveloping the user in this energy pillar before removing their current armor, reconstructing it, and reattaching the new armor to the Frame. Just like other Booster items, the Assault Booster enhances the rate at which the user's Combat Hazard Level rises, quickening its pace more than the Evolve Charger, though nowhere near as fast as the Override Reactor.

While the Assault Booster isn't as powerful as the Override Reactor, it still creates a substantial strain on the user, catching them off-guard upon initial use. With sufficient training, this strain can be lessened as the user adapts to the intense power. It shares the Evolve Charger's lack of a defined time limit, instead basing its time limit on the user's operational time with the Booster active. This time limit is shorter than the Evolve Charger's, but can surpass the Override Reactor's 5-minute time limit if the user has trained enough. If applicable, usage of the Assault Booster will alter the wielder's A-HAG activation announcement by adding an additional text-to-speech announcement summarizing the upgrade Frame's powers and abilities.
