Info
- Vauban throws a targeting beacon in an arcing trajectory toward the aiming reticle. On impact with an enemy, the beacon inflicts 15 Blast damage with a ?% status chance; on impact with an enemy, a surface or after 1.5 seconds has elapsed, an orbital cannon fires a powerful energy laser that penetrates through solid matter to strike the beacon, destroying it in the process, and inflicting 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500 Blast scaling damage to all enemies within a 4 / 4 / 5 / 5 meter radius.
- Beacon damage on hit is affected by Ability Strength.
- Explosion damage is affected by Ability Strength, Vauban's passive, and enemy level.
- Photon Strike's explosion damage benefits from Ability Strength, Vauban's passive, and enemy level using the following expression:
- Total Explosion Damage = Blast Damage × (1 + Ability Strength) × (1 + Passive Damage Bonus) × Enemy Level Multiplier
- Enemy Level Multiplier = ceil(Enemy Level ÷ 10). The multiplier only increases after 1 level past the per-10-levels mark (e.g. levels 11, 21, 31, 41, etc).
- With a maxed Intensify and an incapacitated enemy at level 101, Vauban will deal 2,500 × (1 + 0.3) × (1.0 + 0.25) × (11) = 44,687.5 Blast damage.
- Blast radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Beacon hit status chance and strike delay are not affected by Mods.
- Enemies that survive the strike are ragdolled away from the blast zone.
- The targeting beacon will bounce off walls and enemies.
- Photon Strike will damage units along the path of the beam.
- If the beacon contacts a Guardian Eximus's rotating shields, the beacon will disappear and Photon Strike will not activate.
- Ability Synergy:
- Photon Strike's targeting beacon is attracted by Bastille's vortex mode, pulling it to the center of the vortex and allow for easier targeting of enemies caught within.
- If multiple vortexes are in range, Photon Strike's beacon will be pulled to the first vortex created.
- Photon Strike's targeting beacon is attracted by Bastille's vortex mode, pulling it to the center of the vortex and allow for easier targeting of enemies caught within.
- If cast while in midair, the casting animation changes with Vauban hovering briefly as he spins to throw the beacon.
