Power CogsForms a ring of energized cogs around Clockwerk, trapping any units that are near. Enemies outside the trap that touch a cog are knocked back, losing health and mana. Once a cog has delivered a shock, it will power down. Damage is increased by 50% of the mana burned. Cogs can be destroyed by enemy attacks, but Clockwerk can push them up to 850 distance away with one hit. Clockwerk can move through the cogs freely, disabling them as he passes over.

Power Cogs: Radius increased, and Clockwerk's armor while near Power Cogs is increased. Rocket Flares: Increased damage, vision and slow duration, and fire additional rockets to either side of the target. Hookshot: Stun radius and duration increased. Jetpack: Moves faster.
