== Overview ==
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.
Patrons are formidable units found hovering in each team's base. In its first phase, the Patron is completely unkillable until both [[Shrine|Shrines]] are destroyed.


While naturally immune to damage, a Patron can be made vulnerable by destroying the two [[Shrine|Shrines]] located within its base. The destruction of these Shrines will allow the Patron to take damage, but will also increase the strength of its attack. After successfully depleting its health bar fully, the Patron will enter a second phase; becoming invulnerable again and moving into a small pit within the base over 12s. Once it has finished travelling, it will become vulnerable again, now a Weakened Patron.
Destroying the Shrines makes the Patron vulnerable to damage, but also empowers its primary attack: a slow-moving beam of energy that deals heavy damage over time. The beam does not lock onto targets, making it possible to dodge.
* '''With Shrines Active:''' The laser deals '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|LaserDPSToPlayers}}''' DPS to Heroes and '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|LaserDPSToNPCs}}''' DPS to NPCs.
* '''After Shrines are Destroyed:''' The laser's damage increases to '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|LaserDPSToPlayersNoShield}}''' DPS to Heroes and '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|LaserDPSToNPCsNoShield}}''' DPS to NPCs.
* In both states, the laser also deals an additional '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|LaserDPSMaxHealthPercent}}%''' of the target's maximum health per second.


Defeating the Patron's first phase shortens the remaining respawn time of any dead players in the defending team by up to 20s (see [[Death#Last Stand Buff]]).
After its health bar is depleted, the Patron enters its second phase. It becomes invulnerable again and moves into a small pit within the base over 12s. Once it has finished travelling, it becomes vulnerable again as a Weakened Patron.


The Patrons are currently the only structures that will slowly regenerate health over time after not being damaged for a brief period, restoring '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|OutOfCombatHealthRegen}} health/s'''. They are also protected by backdoor protection, which increases their health regeneration to '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BackdoorHealthRegen}} health/s''' when no enemy Troopers are nearby.

The Patron is the only structure that regenerates health out of combat, restoring '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|OutOfCombatHealthRegen}} health/s'''.

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. The Weakened Patron has more HP than the first phase.
In its second phase, the Patron enters its Weakened form, losing its limbs and hovering inside the pit of its team's base. In this state, it activates a damage pulse ability that deals '''{{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|citadel_ability_tier3boss_damage_pulse|DamagePerPulse}}''' damage every second to nearby enemies within a '''28m''' radius. 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. The Weakened Patron has more HP than the first phase.
