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.

Can be bought from Vox Solaris (Syndicate) for

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.
- 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.
- Assassination targets can be affected.
- 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 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.
- The tether's color matches the Operator's chosen energy color.
Tips
- Synergizes with Magus Destruct which will increase the puncture damage dealt to tethered enemies.
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.
- Clients are sometimes unable to place mines.
