Demolisher

CODEX

Demolishers are explosive enemies with a single-minded purpose: the destruction of compromised conduits at any cost. Part of the complete Alad V Conduit Security Package!

Demolishers are special enemy variants that only appear in the Disruption game mode. The Amalgams that can be encountered in the Disruption mission on Jupiter, while being otherwise identical to standard Demolishers, are called Demolysts.

They spawn once a conduit objective has been triggered, and rush in to destroy them. They emit a loud sound, and once close enough are given a red marker. They will immediately beeline for any active conduit and once close enough they will begin to channel and self-destruct, destroying the conduit.

A Demolisher/lyst will pulse out a red aura every 5 seconds with a radius of 6.5 meters, immediately dispelling and disabling all Warframe abilities within range and on itself, similar to a Nullifier Crewman's bubble.

Damage Resistance

Demolishers/lysts posses DR that scales depending on your weapon's DPS excluding critical hits. DPS is calculated by $(\text{modded damage})\cdot(\text{modded fire rate})\cdot(\text{modded multishot})$. Critical Hits are applied after DR is calculated. Additionally, the average DPS is calculated using all health/shield/armor modifiers, including damage reduction from armor and is quantized.

• $\text{If Average DPS} \leq 1250,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.8$
• $\text{If} \; 1250 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 3125,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.64 + \frac{200}{\text{Average DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 3125 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 6250,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.56 + \frac{450}{\text{Average DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 6250 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 12500,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.32 + \frac{1950}{\text{Average DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 12500 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 25000,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.16 + \frac{3950}{\text{Average DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 25000 < \text{Average DPS},\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.08 + \frac{5950}{\text{Average DPS}}$

For proc damage, critical hits are taken are taken into account. $\textbf{Average Proc DPS} = (\text{proc damage}) \cdot (\text{critical multiplier if triggered}) \cdot (\text{modded fire rate}) \cdot (\text{modded multishot})$ Where the proc damage is the per tick damage of the corresponding proc, with health/shield/armor modifiers taken into account. Note that unlike the DPS controller for normal damage, the one for proc damage takes critical hits into account. For heat procs, the proc damage in the above formula is the accumulated value of all the previous heat procs.

• $\text{If Average Proc DPS} \leq 1562.5,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.64$
• $\text{If} \; 1562.5 < \text{Average Proc DPS} \leq 3906.25,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.512 + \frac{200}{\text{Average Proc DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 3906.25 < \text{Average Proc DPS} \leq 7812.5,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.448 + \frac{450}{\text{Average Proc DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 7812.5 < \text{Average Proc DPS} \leq 15625,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.256 + \frac{1950}{\text{Average Proc DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 15625 < \text{Average Proc DPS} \leq 31250,\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.128 + \frac{3950}{\text{Average Proc DPS}}$
• $\text{If} \; 31250 < \text{Average Proc DPS},\; \text{Damage Modifier} = 0.064 + \frac{5950}{\text{Average Proc DPS}}$
