History

Evolution, Episode 14

Beast Liger, nearly killed by the Genospino, was revived through contact with a Regeneration Cube terminal. Now living once more as the Proto Beast Liger, it entered combat to help the Republic ward off the Genospino, by handling Zoids from the Genospino Unit and even the Drei Panther. Mid battle, Proto Beast Liger started to shine gold, and evolved in seconds. It took on a new form, clad in golden armor, and defeated the Drei Panther. This was the start of the Rising Liger.

Incident, Episode 15

While the Republic lured the Genospino into a kill site, the Rising Liger charged to the frontlines. Unlike before, Rising Liger was now far better adapted to fight this beast. Still agile, but with heat-dissipating armor that allowed it to tank the flamethrower. As the battle progressed, they dropped a skyscraper on the Genospino, and while it was distracted, the Rising Liger blasted its way through the building, and lunged right for the Genospino's chest. The A-Z Mane Blade was driven into its core, and the monstrous Zoid was finally defeated.

Equipment Information

- A-Z Autocannon

The main gun of the Rising Liger is the one installed to its right side. This sees a lot of use when the Zoid isn't in Evo Blast mode.

- A-Z Mane Blade

Even after evolution, the Rising Liger still makes use of the mane weapons. In this case, a single blade that extends forward during its Evo Blast.

- A-Z Mane Shot

At the end of the Mane Blade is the Mane Shot, a gun barrel that rests against the blade. This can be used as a long-range weapon but can also be used at point-blank range, driving the blade into the target then firing on the damaged armor.

- Heavy Tail

Rising Liger's tail is a heavy armor block that can also be used as a blunt force weapon.

- High Efficiency Radiation Fin

The High Efficiency Radiation Fins are designed to disperse excess heat, but can also be used to cool the Liger down when exposed to a high-temperature environment.

- Impact Revolver

The revolver is the cylinder on the left side of the backpack. This isn't actually connected to a weapon on its own, but is instead part of the Mane Shot. When the Evo Blast is active, Rising Liger can load in a bullet to fire.

- Rising Armor

Rising Liger's armor is iconic for its golden sheen. This plated armor is able to deflect optical weapons, which refers to things like energy beams.

- Rising Claw

Bulky armored claws are a fine weapon for any lion-type Zoid, and Rising makes good use of them. Use is, of course, self-explanatory.

- Rising Frill

The mane armor on Rising Liger's face is referred to as the Rising Frill. Breaking the trend of functional liger manes, these actually seem to be used for intimidation, not for aerodynamics, which is typically the case. The panels flip outwards when the Evo Blast is active.

Profile:
Rising Liger is a lion-type Zoid with golden armor.

The Beast Liger has been reinforced, and features a Rising Armor that's equipped with golden armor, an Anti-Zoid Mane Shot and Anti-Zoid Mane Blade.

Its Evo Blast has two steps. In the first step it activates the Rising Gun Slash that continuously fires the A-Z Mane Shot and the A-Z Machine Gun, and in the second step deploys the long sword A-Z Mane Blade, transferring the explosive power of the Impact Revolver to the blade. It penetrates armor with the Rising Burst Break.
