Patron: Difference between revisionsGive feedback

Patrons are formidable units that are found hovering around in each team's base. When an opposing [[Heroes|hero]] or [[Trooper]] walks within its range, the Patron will unleash a beam of energy at them, dealing very large damage over time. The beam itself is slow moving, and does not lock onto targets unlike the [[Walker]] and [[Guardian]] beams, which makes it fairly easy to avoid in the right circumstances.

In its second phase, the Patron will enter its Weakened form, losing its limbs and hovering inside the pit of its team's base. In this weakened state, the Patron has an effect similar to [[Torment Pulse]] and damages [[Trooper]]s and [[heroes]] around it. Similar to [[Mid-Boss|Mid Boss]], the Patron is also immune to all incoming damage from outside the pit, forcing players to get in close if they want to damage it.
