| “ | Don't worry, Libra won't hurt you – too much! | ” |
| —Libra before toying with her enemies |
Libra is a powerful psychic who serves as the heroine of the PsiCorps.
Official description[]
According to scarce intel available on her, Libra is the most powerful psychic in the Epsilon ranks, possibly even rivaling Yuri himself. However, the information that costed many agents' life suggests that she is incapable of using her mind to create a mind control link with targets, as she appears to have serious personality issues. Instead, she concentrates on destructive telekinesis and object manipulation, having custom-made explosive darts which she moves freely with her abilities as a weapon of choice.
Libra has both active and passive psychic abilities. The passive ones are a kinetic shield around her which makes her resistant to small arms fire and physical damage, and the ability to levitate herself in the air allowing her to cross water just like the Epsilon Elites do. A floating device known only as the Cerebral Amplifier/Suppressor is permanently connected to her spine and is presumably responsible for amplifying her powers and thinking processes. Paradoxically, it also keeps her abilities in check.
When surrounded by many enemy tanks, Libra's CAS may be partially deactivated by her active proselyte in order for her to unleash a powerful gravity field which will destroy the attackers. While useless against infantry, the field works just as well against enemy ships, only to further state how powerful she truly is.
Though perhaps one of the most powerful psychic forces in the world, her violent mood swings and viciously sadistic streak make her a potential threat to all forces. Libra is almost always accompanied by her, inferior, genetic clones on the battlefield, as they are the only beings that can tolerate her moods and psychic presence without adverse side effects for longer periods of time. [note 1] The clones act as a diversion or as bait for Libra, being considerably weaker and not possessing the gravity burst.[1]
Overview[]
| “ | JUST DIE ALREADY!! | ” |
| —Libra before starting a killing spree |
Libra deploying her gravity field against unlucky Bison Tanks
An exceptionally powerful psychic said to be on par with Yuri himself, as stated above, Libra is so powerful to the point that she can tip the scales in the PsiCorps' favor, as her name suggests, although her unstable and sadistic borderline psychopathic attitude might put some PsiCorps proselytes off or entertains them depending on their interpretation.
In the hands of a skilled proselyte, Libra can easily kite enemies with her high speed and relatively far attack range. She is a major threat against all targets on the battlefield - no infantry, vehicle, aircraft, or structure is safe from her customized explosive darts. These traits allow her to easily outrun most enemies before countering with her rather unorthodox weaponry - such a tactic is very useful on maps with bodies of water, as Libra can quickly retreat into the water in order to break a pursuit from the majority of retaliating forces. Her wide attack range also makes her very potent against lower-tier base defenses, as she can destroy them without fear of retaliation.
If Libra finds herself surrounded by vehicles and naval vessels, she can ordered to deploy an anti-gravity field that will send all non-infantry units flying and potentially overturning them in the process. Even the heaviest of tanks and ships can be toppled over and destroyed almost instantly if they land upside down, but no visible damage will be dealt if are not flipped over for whatever reasons, such as Libra moving away during the process of the telekinetic field being active or if the affected vehicle is able to escape on time. The gravity field also provides her with increased resistance against incoming fire for a period of time.

Despite her powers, Libra does have several weaknesses. While her explosive darts have great range and damage outputs, they are hampered by a mediocre fire rate and relatively poor splash damage. Her gravity field also does not affect infantry. These factors render her a poor match against massed infantry counterattacks, especially from anti-infantry ones like Desolators. Though her gravity field will destroy vehicles quickly, dedicated anti-infantry vehicles such as Gatling Tanks in small teams will still mow her down before she has a chance to send them flying. Powerful base defenses, such as Prism Towers, Tesla Coils and Railgun Towers are highly effective against Libra (provided she strays into their range, as she outranges them by default). While she is durable for an infantry unit, Attack Dogs, Spooks, and Terror Drones will kill her almost instantly if they manage to close the distance with her.
To compensate for these weaknesses, her commanding proselyte may opt to use her clones in order to act as illusions for the real Libra or simply as additional firepower. However, her clones cannot use the anti-gravity field and are nowhere near as durable as the original psychopathic heroine herself.
Anti-gravity field[]
Libra's anti-gravity field can flip most vehicles and ships (including epic units such as the Centurion Siege Walker when Libra deploys it from behind the Centurion).
However, the following units are immune to being flipped by Libra's anti-gravity field:
- Haihead Cyclops Walker and Megalodon (the Tsurugi and Stinger are also considered as walkers but are not immune)
- Soviet Terror Drones and Latin Fury Drones
- Deployed vehicles such as the Sweeper, as they are considered buildings
The following units will not be visibly flipped, but are destroyed by the anti-gravity field regardless:
- Landed aircraft (including jets and the Stallion Transport)
- Quickshifter
- Subterranean units such as the Driller
AI behavior[]

Trivia[]
- Libra means "scales" in Latin and is also the name of a constellation and the seventh zodiac sign, the meaning of which possibly refers to the fact that she is the Epsilon's trump card who could turn the tides of the war into Epsilon's favor.
- Interestingly, the symbol of the said zodiac sign (♎) is similar to the Greek letter Omega (Ω), but with two underlines. However, Speeder, the lead developer of Mental Omega, claims to not remember whether this is the reason he named the PsiCorps heroine this way.

Notes[]
