Changes: Magus Lockdown

Revision as of 22:27, 12 December 2019

Magus Lockdown is an Arcane Enhancement for the Operator. Whenever the Operator performs a Void Dash, they will drop a Tether Mine at their destination that tethers a number of enemies in place for 4 seconds; then, these enemies suffer Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage that scales with their maximum health.

Effect

Rank	% Health	Tether range	Max targets
0	15%	3m	2
1	30%	6m	4
2	45%	9m	6
3	60%	12m	8

Acquisition

Can be bought from Vox Solaris (Syndicate) for 10,000 Standing 10,000 upon reaching the rank of Instrument.

Notes

Tethered enemies are completely incapacitated: they cannot move nor attack until they take damage from the arcane's effect.
- The tether's damage does not ignore armor.
- Each tether mine can only affect up to eight enemies.
- Unaware enemies that become tethered remain unaware until the effect wears off, similarly to Rhino Stomp.
Can be used with Magus Revert to drop tether mines without consuming energy from Void Dashing.
- Note that the use of macros to aid, expedite or automate this process is strictly prohibited.
- Note that while Magus Lockdown has no cooldown, Magus Revert has a 3-second cooldown.
Enemies remain susceptible to ragdolling even while tethered which can make enemies not take damage if they fall outside the arcane's range.
The damage applied is based on the target's current maximum health at the time the tether expires. As a result, a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc will make the arcane deal damage based on the halved health value.
Two sets of this arcane will drop two tethers, effectively applying 120% of an enemy's health as Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
Buffs that are applied to the Operator or the Warframe will not enhance the damage, however, debuffs applied to enemies (e.g. Molecular Prime, Blazing Chakram, Seeking Talons) will enhance damage.
Can tether Eidolons and Kuva clouds.

Tips

Synergizes with Magus Destruct which will increase the puncture damage dealt to tethered enemies.

Bugs

Status procs that displace enemies will allow enemies to shoot at players while still tethered.
Clients are sometimes unable to place mines.
