Lane Guardian: Difference between revisions

LVL (talk | contribs)
Added more info on damage resistances and reworded some stuff. Player Vulnerability stat still needs testing on if it works like troopers and only affects bullet damage or all damage.

'''Guardians''' are one of the two types of defenses protecting the [[Patron]], along with [[Walker]]s. They are large metal automatons with a fiery brazier as a head. They fight by dealing continuous damage with a laser emitted from their torch, targeting all [[Trooper|Troopers]] and [[Heroes]] that enter its radius.[[File:Archmother base guardians.png|thumb|[[Archmother]] Base Guardians]][[File:Hidden King base guardians.png|thumb|[[Hidden King]] Base Guardians]]


== Overview ==
== Overview ==
In total, there are '''9''' Guardians on either side of the [[Map]]; one in each lane acting as the first line of defense, and three sets of '''Base Guardians''' defending the base.
Lane Guardians are large metal automatons with a fiery brazier as a head. They fight by dealing continuous damage with a laser emitted from their torch, targeting all [[Trooper|Troopers]] and [[Heroes]] that enter its radius. There are 3 Lane Guardians per team, one for each lane.


When there are no enemy troopers or players within '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|InvulRange}}m''', the Guardian enters an invulnerable state, where it cannot be damaged by any means. When a trooper or enemy player enters the guardian's range, it will become vulnerable, targeting its laser onto the closest nearby enemy and dealing constant damage over time. However, the Guardian will not take any damage from the player if the player is outside the Guardian's range, even if it is vulnerable to troopers. Guardians take headshot damage to their "head," the brazier on top of their body.

Lane Guardians don't have [[backdoor protection]], allowing a player to deal normal damage to a Guardian even if the enemy [[zipline]] is pushed.


== Resistances ==
== Resistances ==
Guardians mitigate incoming damage from players using three separate mechanics that stack together multiplicatively:
Guardians mitigate incoming damage from players using multiple different modifiers that stack together multiplicatively:


* '''Time Scaling Damage Resist:''' (Lane Guardians only) Applies to all damage types. Starts at 50% and decays linearly down to -50% (taking increased damage) over the first 12 minutes of the match.
* '''Time Scaling [[Damage Resist]]:''' Lane Guardians have a scaling Damage Resist that applies to all damage types, except [[Pure Damage]]. Starts at 50% and decays linearly down to -50% (taking increased damage) over the first 12 minutes of the match (-{{#expr:100/720round2}}% resist per second).
* '''Player Vulnerability:''' A hidden modifier that gives them {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|PlayerDamageResistPct}}% [[Damage Resist]] against players (effectively making them take 25% increased damage from players).
* '''Player Vulnerability:''' A modifier that gives {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|PlayerDamageResistPct}}% Bullet Resist against players (taking increased damage).
* '''Bullet Resist:''' Lane Guardians have {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}}% [[Bullet Resist]], while Base Guardians have {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}}% [[Bullet Resist]].
* '''Bullet Resist:''' Lane Guardians have {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}}% Bullet Resist.


Because these modifiers stack multiplicatively, players will deal significantly less damage than their base weapon damage in the early game, and significantly more in the late game.

==Base Guardian==
The resists are stacked together in the following formulas:
The Base Guardian or "Shrine Guardian", referred to in the files as "Watcher", is a variant of the normal guardian found in pairs outside each team's base. Base Guardians have a different model and slightly different mechanics and stats. Like the standard Guardian, they will use a melee attack on enemies within '''{{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|MeleeAttemptRange}}m'''. Once the base guardians have been killed, a permanent speed boost is applied to the attacking team's zipline in that lane.
 
*For bullet damage:


Unlike Lane Guardians, Base Guardians don't take [[Headshot]] Damage and their melee attacks cannot be parried.
<math>Damage = Bullet Damage * [(1 - Base Damage Resist) + (time/720)] * (1-Player Resist) * (1-Bullet Resist)</math>


=== Durability ===
*For spirit damage:
Unlike Lane Guardians, Base Guardians do not have the 12-minute time scaling resist. Instead, they have an additional scaling [[Bullet Resist]] (similar to [[Shrines]]). It starts at {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResist}}%, losing {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorBulletResistModifier|BulletResistReductionPerHero}}% per enemy hero nearby, up to 0% minimum for 3 or more enemies.


When [[Backdoor Protection]] is active, they have {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorProtectionModifier|BackdoorProtectionDamageMitigationFromPlayers}}% [[Damage Resist]] and {{NpcData|npc_barrack_boss|BackdoorProtectionModifier|HealthPerSecondRegen}} [[Health Regen]] per second.
<math>Damage = Spirit Damage * [(1 - Base Damage Resist) + (time/720)]</math>


===Boons===
In which "time" is the match time in seconds.
After defeating the two base guardian for a lane, the team who took the guardians get a Zipline speed boost for the rest of the game on that lane.
 
Applying the bullet damage values, we get:
 
Damage = BD * [0.5 + (t / 720)] * {{#expr:1-({{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|PlayerDamageResistPct}}/100)}} * {{#expr:(100-{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier1|IntrinsicModifiers|1|BULLET_ARMOR_DAMAGE_RESIST}})/100}}
 
=== Ability Damage Reduction ===
The following abilities deal reduced damage to Guardians:
