Corrupted Vor


 * For his normal version, see Captain Vor.

Corrupted Vor is a corrupted Captain Vor and is the boss of the Orokin Void as a guaranteed encounter in Tower IV missions. It is known that he was revived by his own Orokin Key during a normal assassination mission in Mercury and has since turned into the guardian of the Void. Vor will make his presence known via a taunting transmission, after which he will appear near players to engage them in battle.

Upon defeat, he is guaranteed to drop one of the four Dual-Stat Mods from The Cicero Crisis: Malignant Force, Virulent Scourge, Pistol Pestilence and Toxic Barrage, along with either an Orokin Cell or an Argon Crystal.

Lore
For lore before his corruption, see Captain Vor's Lore.

The Rebirth
Towards the end of Vor's Prize, Captain Vor is dissected at the waist by a newly-awakened Tenno. After an indeterminate amount of time, his Orokin Key starts to revive him, ultimately linking his separated body together via a swirling mass of energy. From this point on, he begins to consider the Orokin as godly beings, he also starts referring his Orokin Key as a "Janus Key".

In his current state of mind Vor believes that he knows the true power of the Void, claiming that the Tenno are "trespassers" being led by a "false prophet" (most likely referring to the Lotus). It is unknown whether he has been convinced by his revival, or has simply been brainwashed by his own Key.

As seen in The Rebirth, the newly-revived Captain Vor is seen marching his way through Grineer troops to demonstrate the power of his Orokin Key, possibly leading his soldiers into the Void and corrupting them in the process.

Appearance
Corrupted Vor still resembles an aged light Grineer in unique brown armor, with exception of his torso being separated from his legs, linked solely by the energies of his Orokin Key manifesting as a swirling mass of light in what used to be his abdomen.

General
 Corrupted Vor' s battle is much simpler compared to his preceding form, though no less dangerous. This is a single-phase battle unlike most bosses with no invincibility phases. As he spawns at level 50, Corrupted Vor possesses very large health, shield and armor values, with the three statistics combined, he is arguably the most durable boss in the game. In addition, depending on the mission Corrupted mobs may constantly spawn to assist him until he is defeated. All of these make him arguably the most difficult boss to fight against.

The only part of his body that takes damage is the swirling mass of light connecting his abdomen and lower body, and no other part of him takes any damage although they are still susceptible to proc. His tendency to teleport almost constantly may prove hitting the light difficult.

At the start of the battle, he will occasionally switch between Nervos Mines and his Orokin Key (Orokin Laser), and sometimes he will use his Orokin Key to generate a heavily damaging Golden Eruption.

In General
It is strongly recommended to have the whole team take their best possible loadout in this battle due to the difficulty of it. Running out of ammo is a real possibility, thus it is recommended to take along Team Ammo Restores to replenish ammo.

Weapons with moderate status chance can be utilized effectively with certain elements. damage can easily drain his shields, procs will cut his health by half and repeated  procs will eventually melt his armor, effectively removing his high percentage of damage reduction.

As Corrupted Vor has a good chance of spawning with waves of enemies backing him up, it is crucial that one of the players are using a Warframe specialized in crowd control (such as Nyx with her Chaos ability) to dampen their combined threat. Depending on which mission type he spawns in, Vor can be isolated from further backup if all nearby enemies are killed, making him easier to kill.

Putting a waypoint marker on Corrupted Vor will make it easier to find him after he teleports, especially if he teleports several times in a short period of time.

When playing solo try going to a secluded area to stop him from having a high amount of reinforcements to make the fight much easier, stopping Orokin Drones from bringing his shields back up and taking no unnecessary damage from Corrupted Lancers, Crewmen and Heavy Gunners, this strategy does NOT work in Defense and Mobile Defense missions, as the Corrupted will destroy the Cryopod/console.

Utilizing Warframe Abilities
Frost's Snow Globe can be used to block both the trajectory and electric arc of Vor's Nervos Mines. The rest of Frost's abilities can be used to damage his shields more effectively (though not to the same degree as  damage).

Mag's Shield Polarize, when properly modded, can wipe out all of his shield (which takes 50% of his health bar), easily skipping half of the battle.

Nova's Molecular Prime, with its slowdown debuff and damage multiplier, can be a great help to dampen both the threats of the constant backup and Vor himself, making it easier to dispatch them both.

Excalibur's Radial Blind can be used to stop him from attacking anyone or using his damaging abilities, though he will continue to teleport around randomly.

Rhino's Stomp can be used to stop his agile movement, allowing a clear shot to his core.

Mesa's Peacemaker can deal large amounts of damage in a small amount of time as it targets his core where he takes damage, especially if placed where vor is the only enemy in mesa's line of sight. It can also be used to make sure enemy reinforcements stay at bay due to it large radius.

Other Resolutions
If you do not wish to fight against the Corrupted Vor, it is possible to finish objective and extract without fighting him, although he will easily catch up with his Teleport. This can be impossible to be done if he appears in Defense mission however, as the game requires you to kill Vor to truly finish the mission.

Trivia

 * Much like Councilor Vay Hek, Captain Vor supposedly never truly dies, only to be revived once again by his Orokin Key (In Hek's case, he flees from the players after his Terra frame is significantly damaged). This allows the fact that you can kill him multiple times to fit into the actual lore of the game, unlike other bosses.
 * The Corrupted version of Vor is only referred to as "Vor" both in the Codex and in-game, implying that Vor has lost his captaincy following his 'death' and rebirth.
 * His labeling of his Orokin Key as a "Janus Key" could be a reference to Janus, who is the ancient Roman god of beginnings and transitions (doors, passages etc.).
 * Vor has the unique distinction of being both the lowest level Boss (on Tolstoj, Mercury), and the highest level Boss in game at the same time.
 * He is also the only boss character with three separate and distinct instances active simultaneously, being present in Mercury, Phobos, and the Void, making him the most ubiquitous character in the game.
 * Vor is the only Corrupted individual to speak coherently.
 * This is most likely due to him not actually being taken over by a Tower's neural sentry and is simply only Influenced or brainwashed by the thoughts of his key.
 * Vor is the first boss to drop Event mods.
 * Although labeled as being 'corrupted' by his Void key, the codex does not classify him as part of the Corrupted or Orokin faction and instead still resides as Grineer. This may be a mistake on DE's part to categorize him, or he is indeed still of the Grineer faction and not entirely consumed by his key's corrupting influence.
