Strike Mission: Old Lion's Court[edit]
- Abilities
- Increased Damage to Close Targets
- Effects
(unlocked when channeling Dysapoptosis)
Empowered (challenge mode only) - Outgoing direct damage increased by 5%. Stacks in intensity.
Ley-Woven Shielding - An experimental mechanism is generating tightly woven strands of ley-line energy to form an impervious barrier that prevents all damage. It doesn't look entirely stable.
Malfunctioning Ley-Woven Shielding (upon breaking defiance bar) - The mechanism generating the shield appears to be malfunctioning. The next time the shield is lowered, this prototype will become exposed and stunned for several seconds.
Power Transfer (when near a Watchknight Triumvirate) - This prototype is receiving an energy transfer from another assault knight, enabling its more powerful attacks even while shielded.
- Skills
- Dysapoptosis - Prototype Arsenite unleashes a wave of toxic sludge that kills within seconds upon contact.
- Exhaust Plume - The fiery exhaust from an assault knight's jetpack is dangerous. Deadly, even.
- Pernicious Vortex - Prototype Arsenite conjures inflowing miasmatic winds that concentrate their deadly fumes in a small radius around itself. Distant targets take less damage, while targets drawn too close will take high damage and become exposed.
- Pernicious Vortex (challenge mode only) - Prototype Arsenite conjures inflowing miasmatic winds that concentrate their deadly fumes in a small radius around itself. Distant targets take less damage, while targets drawn too close will take high damage, become exposed, and empower the prototype.
- Toxic Slice - Prototype Arsenite sweeps the area in front of it with its greatsword, dealing minor damage.
- Relapse - Prototype Arsenite slices through enemies with a backswing that deals increased damage.
- Rupture - Prototype Arsenite places a symbol in front of itself and then shatters it with an upswing of its blade, dealing high damage in a small area. Every other time this attack is used, it fires a Noxious Vaporblade at the furthest non-fixated target.
- Noxious Vapor Blade - A swirling blade comprised of toxic gasses slowly tracks its target. After a short delay or upon striking the target, the blade reverses course at high speed, striking everything in its path. Drops Boiling Aether at the location from which it reversed course.
- Boiling Aether - Scalding aether from the Mists collects into a growing pool. Upon reaching maximum size, the damage increases significantly. Dissipates after a short time.
- Boiling Aether (challenge mode only) - Scalding aether from the Mists collects into a growing pool. Upon reaching maximum size, the damage increases significantly. Lingers until cleared.
