[[Adventurer]] damage shields do damage to the attacker block altogether a set amount of one particular type of damage; this wear offs as the Enforcer Layers do. Enforcer shields do a similar thing, but instead their damage shields actually add protection for a type of damage. Adventurer shields' "layers" work against a very wide range of types: Physical, Projectile, Chemical, Cold, Fire, Poison, and Energy damage.

Animal Morphs have changed considerably in patches, transforming the Wolf from a damage dealer to an evading type, with evades that do not stack with [[Fixer]] runspeed, and transforming the Dragon utterly from a [[#Dragon Breath|Dragon Breath]] damage caster to a tank while taking away the self heals from the Sabretooth form and giving them to the Dragon. The Sabretooth remains a damage dealer. The Wolf retains its Perception buffs and gains some AC buffs to augment its evades, although Evades and ACs are mutually exclusive per attack.

The [[#Dragon Breath|Dragon Breath]] nanos were removed. The [[#Calm|Calm]] nanos were significantly altered.

Adventurers are not specialized to cast combat damage nanos. This series suits their role as a Jack of All Trades, and is effective as a first attack, weakening an enemy at the beginning of battle. Because all of the series has a five minute cooldown before it can be cast again, a character is unlikely to be able to cast two of these in one battle. Furthermore, these programs can only be cast in Pit Lizard form. The higher two are Area of Effect (AoE) spells, that have the same effect on all enemies within a radius of the target.

Not as effective as Bureaucrat, of course, but calms are better [[Nano Program#Crowd Control|Crowd Control]] than Roots and Snares for the most part, so when they are not resisted they are nice.

Kin of Tarasque is a combination HoT and HP Max Bonus which can be used once every 20 minutes. Anarchy Online Max HP Bonuses do not add health up to the new maximum, even if the target's health was full. Furthermore, if the target had an existing HP bonus and full HP, AO +Max HP will reduce a target's HP to the unbuffed maximum health. Thus KoT is best used before battle, with the Adventurer healing to maximum health, or in the company of another healer.

A small number of simple and effective Nanos that inexplicably maxes out at QL 123. AC buffs simply add to the characters Armor value, reducing damage by 10% of the total value, down to the attacker's minimum damage.
