DefianceDefiance bar teal.png (unlocked when channeling Dysapoptosis)

  • Charging Energies (attack effect).png Empowered (challenge mode only) - Outgoing direct damage increased by 5%. Stacks in intensity.
  • Ley Energy Shield.png 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.
    • Redirect Arrow.png Unblockable (effect).png 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.
  • Spirit Energy Tracker.png 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.

    • Redirect Arrow.png Relapse - Prototype Arsenite slices through enemies with a backswing that deals increased damage.
      • Redirect Arrow.png 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.
        • Redirect Arrow.png 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.
          • Redirect Arrow.png 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.
