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.

With the exception of the Demolisher Bonewidow and Demolisher Voidrig, a Demolisher 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. Operator Transference is also jammed inside the aura.

Demolisher health scales with squad size. +50% health with a squad of two, +100% with a squad size of three, and +200% health with a squad size of four.

Ability Resistance

Demolishers are immune and susceptible towards the following abilities (list may not be comprehensive):

• Immune
  • Confusion ( Nyx's  Mind Control & Chaos,  Radiation procs, etc.)
  • Knockback, knockdown, and Lifted (melee slams, bullet jumping, the effect of  Impact,  Bastille augment  Repelling Bastille, etc.)
  • Disarms ( Loki's  Radial Disarm,  Baruuk's  Desolate Hands, etc.)
  • Stuns ( Banshee's  Silence,  Excalibur's  Radial Blind,  Valkyr's  Paralysis)
  • Ability suspensions, like  Hildryn's  Aegis Storm,  Mag's  Crush,  Nezha's  Divine Spears,  Vauban's  Bastille,  Khora's  Strangledome, and  Yareli's  Sea Snares and  Riptide.
  •  Hydroid's  Tidal Surge and  Tentacle Swarm.
  •  Limbo's  Stasis.
  •  Ash's finisher from  Teleport's augment  Fatal Teleport.
  •  Mag's  Pull and  Magnetize.
  •  Vauban's  Minelayer Tether Coil's pull effect.
  •  Gara's  Mass Vitrify's Crystallization Effect.
  •  Revenant's  Enthrall conversion effect.
  •  Ferrox's alternate fire pull effect.
  • All Infested Demolishers are immune to  Viral Status, while Demolisher Juggernauts and Demolisher Chargers are completely immune to  Viral and  Toxin damage altogether.
    • It is therefore highly recommended to mod for  Gas damage when doing Infested Disruption missions.
• Susceptible
  •  Cold status effect.
  • The Kubrow abilities  Ferocity and  Savagery.
  • Slow effect from abilities ( Frost's  Snow Globe,  Nova's  Molecular Prime,  Valkyr's  Warcry,  Gauss'  Thermal Sunder,  Equinox's  Pacify & Provoke with  Peaceful Provocation augment,  Sevagoth's  Gloom,  Atlas's  Petrify).
    • An Ability Range-based  Gloom is particularly effective, as Sevagoth can stay away from the effective range of the Demolisher's nullifying pulses.
  • The push from  Banshee's  Sonic Boom but they will not experience knockdown.
  • Barricades, such as  Atlas'  Tectonics, will block their movement.
  • Entangle, such as  Khora's  Ensnare &  Venari's attack posture, and  Harrow's  Condemn.
  • Teleports, such as  Loki's  Switch Teleport.
  • Damaging abilities like  Nova's  Antimatter Drop and  Mesa's  Peacemaker.
  • Arcane effects, such as  Magus Lockdown &  Exodia Epidemic.
  •  Ash's  Blade Storm can work in between the nullifier pulses.
  • Sleep, such as  Baruuk's  Lull,  Ivara's  Quiver, and the Aero Mod Set. However,  Equinox's  Rest & Rage has no effect on them.
  • Bullet attractor fields from a thrown  Scourge and  Void damage procs.
  • All of  Xaku's  The Lost sub-abilities.
  • Blinding effects such as from  Mesa's  Muzzle Flash augment and  Gara's passive.
  •  Garuda's instant kill from a  Dread Mirror strike, provided she lands it before the Demolisher spews the red aura.
  •  Sevagoth's damage vulnerability from  Reap,  Death's Harvest, and  Embrace's pull (not its Lifted effect).
  •  Rhino's  Rhino Stomp can suspend the Demolisher/Demolyst in the air for the remaining duration of the ability.
  •  Caliban's  Sentient Wrath will lift the Demolisher/Demolyst in the air and apply damage vulnerability until the nullifier bubble activates again

Damage Reduction

Demolishers possess Damage Reduction that scales depending on your weapon's DPS excluding critical hits. DPS is calculated by

$(\text{modded damage})\cdot(\text{modded fire rate})\cdot(\text{modded multishot})\cdot(\text{body part multipliers})\cdot(\text{innate DR})$

Critical Hits are applied after the damage resistance is calculated. Additionally, the average DPS is calculated using all health/shield damage type modifiers, and is quantized. This scaling DR is multiplicative to any other innate DR Demolishers may possess.

${ \text{Damage Multiplier} = \begin{cases} 1,\; & \text{DPS}_{Average} \leq 1000 \\ 0.8 + \frac{200}{\text{DPS}_{Average}},\; & 1000 < \text{DPS}_{Average} \leq 2500 \\ 0.7 + \frac{450}{\text{DPS}_{Average}},\; & 2500 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 5000 \\ 0.4 + \frac{1950}{\text{DPS}_{Average}},\; & 5000 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 10000 \\ 0.2 + \frac{3950}{\text{DPS}_{Average}},\; & 10000 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 20000 \\ 0.1 + \frac{5950}{\text{DPS}_{Average}},\; & 20000 < \text{DPS}_{Average} \end{cases} }$

Demolisher Juggernauts and Demolisher Charger possess a damage multiplier of 0.8 regardless of DPS level.

For proc damage, critical hits are taken into account.

$\textbf{DPS}_{Proc} = (\text{proc damage}) \cdot (\text{critical multiplier if triggered}) \cdot (\text{modded fire rate}) \cdot (\text{modded multishot}) \cdot(\text{innate DR})^2$

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, and that any innate DR have their effect squared, both in the Proc DPS equation and when applied after the damage controller equation. For heat procs, the proc damage in the above formula is the accumulated value of all the previous heat procs.

${ \text{Damage Multiplier} = \begin{cases} 1,\; & \text{DPS}_{Average} \leq 1000 \\ 0.8 + \frac{200}{\text{DPS}_{Proc}},\; & 1000 < \text{DPS}_{Average} \leq 2500 \\ 0.7 + \frac{450}{\text{DPS}_{Proc}},\; & 2500 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 5000 \\ 0.4 + \frac{1950}{\text{DPS}_{Proc}},\; & 5000 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 10000 \\ 0.2 + \frac{3950}{\text{DPS}_{Proc}},\; & 10000 < \text{Average DPS} \leq 20000 \\ 0.1 + \frac{5950}{\text{DPS}_{Proc}},\; & 20000 < \text{DPS}_{Average} \end{cases} }$
