== Overview ==
The Patron is a formidable unit found at the back of each team's base. In its first phase, the Patron is completely unkillable until both [[Shrine|Shrines]] are destroyed.

The Patron has two methods of attack in Phase 1:
* '''Laser Beam''': Fires a slow-moving beam dealing '''440 + 5% HP''' [[Spirit Damage]] per second, targeting enemy players and [[Troopers]] and reducing their bullet and spirit resistance by '''{{#expr: abs({{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_1|AbilityProperties|BulletArmorReduction}})}}%'''. The beam leaves behind burning ground that deals damage over time to those who remain in it.
* '''Shrine Defense''': Creates a large explosion at a Shrine platform after a {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|AbilityProperties|AbilityCastDelay}}s delay, dealing '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|AbilityProperties|Damage}} + {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|AbilityProperties|DamageHealthPercent}}% HP''' [[Spirit Damage]] and [[Status Effects#Curse|cursing]] any enemies caught in the blast, forcing them to retreat or be damaged.

After the first half of its health bar is depleted, the Patron enters its second phase. It becomes invulnerable again for a short period as its shadowy form collapses into its structure. The structure then explodes and reforms into an orb that hovers in the pit. Once the transformation completes, it becomes vulnerable again as a Weakened Patron.

Defeating the Patron's first phase shortens the remaining respawn time of any dead players on the defending team by up to 20s (see [[Death#Last Stand Buff|Last Stand Buff]]).

The Patron is the only structure that regenerates health out of combat, restoring '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|ObjectiveRegen|OutOfCombatHealthRegen}} health/s'''. It is also protected by [[Backdoor Protection]], which increases this regeneration by '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BackdoorProtection|HealthPerSecondRegen}} health/s''' when no enemy Troopers are nearby.
