Armor Description:
The Blade Liger uses the same body as the Shield Liger and thus also has little armor. The armor of the main body is akin to that of the Shield Liger with the same strength and coverage, leaving the rear of the back as the only seriously exposed area. The legs are a bit more portected than those of the Shield Liger witha lot more armor on the shoulders and hips but the lower legs remain exposed. Still, the legs are quite durable and dependable and even without armor they can take more damage than the fully armored legs of many other Zoids.

E-Shield Generator - On the top and bottom of the mane of the Blade Liger, behind the head, are a pair of blue panels. They look like armor but they can be extended out of the mane to act as shield generators and create a powerful energy shield in front of the Blade Liger. It is strongest in the center but it also extends partly to the sides and over the top of the Blade Liger. It doesn't protect the rear at all.

Completion Refrigerator x4 - Complex and part of the reason why piloting a Blade Liger is difficult. The completion refriegerators, one in each shoulder and one in each hip for a total of 4, serve two purposes. First, they allow the Blade Liger, heavier than the Shield Liger with the same leg design, to actually have a higher running speed than the Shield Liger at 260 kilometers per hour. Without them the Blade Liger can only run at 240 kilometers per hour. Second, they allow the Blade Liger to expend excess heat and cool down it's systems. Should it lose all of the refrigerators the Blade Liger will suffer from overheating and will likely CSF after 2 rounds without them. It should be noted that you actually have to activate the completion refrigerators for them to have an effect.

Laser Sabers x2 - Two long, sharp fangs located in the mouth of the Blade Liger. They can be charged up with laser energy for a lot of damage.

Strike Claw x4 - One on the end of each of the Blade Liger's legs, these claws have four toes made of sharp, extra-strength alloy.

AZ208mm double-barreled Shock Cannon - Mounted under the chest and locked in a forward facing position. Each barrel is approximately 208mm.

Rocket Boosters - Mounted and concealed in the Blade Liger's back under a plate of armor are a pair of pop-up, inter-connected boosters. These boosters have 360 degrees of movement and contribute to 45 kilometers per hour of the Blade Liger's top speed. Without them it runs at a normal pace of 260 kilometers per hour.

Laser Blade x2 - The blades are approximately 6 meters long and mount to the back via pylons. These pylons are very mobile. The blades can be held when not in use on the back, to the sides and fully extended or to the sides and flipped forward or backward. The cutting power of these blades is greatly increased when charged with laser energy. The blade mounts themselves are pretty strong but the hilts of the blades are rather weak.

30mm Pulse Laser Gun x2 - They mount to the backs of the blades and point wherever the ip ot the blade is pointing. Thus they are capable of firng straight forward, upward, backward, and to the sides.

3D Dual Sensor - Equipped to the tail of the Blade Liger is a basic sensor with 3D Mapping and a radar on a rotating frequency. With these sensors the Blade Liger can see most stealth Zoids.
