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 Puncture damage that scales with their maximum health.

Effect

Rank % Health Tether range Max targets
0 15% 3m 2

Acquisition

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

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.
  • Enemies remain susceptible to ragdolling even while tethered which can make enemies not take damage if they fall outside the arcane's range.
  • Each tether mine can only affect up to a certain number of enemies.
    • Additional mines can only be placed once the previous mines have expired
  • The damage applied is based on the target's current maximum health at the time the tether expires. As a result, a viral 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 puncture damage.
  • Buffs that are applied to the operator or the warframe will not enhance the damage, however, debuffs applied to enemies (ie. Molecular Prime, Blazing Chakram, Seeking Talonswill enhance damage.
  • The tether's color matches the Operator's chosen energy color.

Bugs

  • Despite the arcane's description stating that there is a limit to the amount of enemies the tether mine can affect at a time, a single mine will actually tether all enemies in range.
  • Status procs that displace enemies will allow enemies to shoot at players while still tethered.
