A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a deity which takes the form of a large ~~metallic golem~~. Each team’s base houses a Patron, and victory is secured by defeating the opposing team's Patron, completing the ritual. The Patrons' avatars are spherical, with a golden, mask-like face, and can magically levitate above the ground. During gameplay, the Patrons will comment on player performance, announce any major events, and offer boons that allow players to [[Level|level up]].

A '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a deity which takes the form of a large extraplanar entity. Each team’s base houses a Patron,[[The Hidden King]] and [[The Archmother]], and victory is secured by defeating the opposing team's Patron, completing the ritual.

~~The two Patrons are~~ [[The Hidden King]] and [[The Archmother]].

[[The Hidden King]] appears as a shadowy figure with antlers and glowing yellow eyes, bound to a burning wicker man structure. Long, claw-like yellow hands extend from the shadows. His base is a factory filled with large speakers and microphones, and his side of the map features working-class red brick buildings labeled "Downtown". [[The Archmother]] wears a broken mask resembling the head of the Statue of Liberty, her form bound to a crystalline structure. Her base is a museum with a Neoclassic aesthetic, and her side of the map features upper-class white brick buildings labeled "Uptown".

During gameplay, the Patrons communicate in third person, commenting on player performance, announcing major events, and offering boons that allow players to [[Level|level up]].

== Overview ==

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.

Patrons are formidable units 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 ~~defends the Shrines~~ and ~~itself with a large~~ beam ~~attack~~ that deals damage and [[Status Effects#Curse|~~curses~~]] any ~~enemy players~~ in ~~its area of effect, initially on~~ the ~~Shrine platform~~, ~~and then in the Patron's pit once the Patron is vulnerable~~.

The Patron has two methods of attack in Phase 1:

* '''Laser Beam''': Fires a slow-moving beam dealing '''440 + 5% HP''' 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|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|AbilityCastDelay}}s delay, dealing '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|Damage}} + {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|DamageHealthPercent}}% HP''' 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 and ~~transforms~~ into an orb in the pit. Once ~~it has finished~~ the transformation, it becomes vulnerable again as a Weakened Patron.

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.

== Weakened Patron ==

In its second phase, the Patron enters its Weakened form, compressing into a spherical orb that hovers inside the pit of its team's base. The Hidden King's orb appears as a cracked sphere of charred wood and burning debris, with a glowing ember core visible through the fissures, surrounded by jagged wooden spikes. The Archmother's orb appears as a crystalline blue sphere surrounded by jagged rock shards arranged to form a face-like structure, with glowing cyan energy emanating from within.

In this state, it has two attacks:

* '''Damage Pulse''': Constantly emits '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|Phase2DamagePulseModifier|DamagePerPulse}}''' damage every second to up to '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|Phase2DamagePulseModifier|MaxTargets}}''' nearby enemies within a '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|Phase2DamagePulseModifier|Radius|2}}m''' radius.

* '''Pit Explosion''': Unleashes a large expanding wave inside the pit after a {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|AbilityCastDelay}}s delay, dealing '''{{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|Damage}} + {{NpcData|npc_boss_tier3|BoundAbilities|ESlot_Signature_2|DamageHealthPercent}}% HP''' damage and [[Status Effects#Curse|cursing]] enemies, similar to the Shrine Defense attack.

Similar to [[Mid-Boss|Mid Boss]], the Patron is 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 the same starting HP as the first phase but gains more HP per minute than phase one.

The Weakened Patron has 50% damage resistance when an ally has been in the pit for more than 2s, and 100% damage resistance when two or more allies are in the pit.

~~== Weakened Patron ==~~

In its second phase, the Patron enters its Weakened form, losing its limbs and hovering inside the pit of its team's base.  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 the same starting HP as the first phase but gains more HP per minute than phase one.
