Strangledome

Weave a dome of living chain that ensnares and strangles any enemy within, and any foolish enough to approach. Foes outside the trap will try to hasten their comrade's deaths by shooting them. Crack Whipclaw on the dome to further damage any trapped enemies.

Info

  • Khora expends EnergyOrb100 energy to crack her whip downward to unravel a cluster of living chains, creating a stationary dome spanning a AbilityRangeBuff5 meters radius around her that lasts for AbilityDurationBuff5 / 10 / 15 / 20 seconds. Strangledome possesses 26 vertices where its chains connect, with each vertex able to capture a single enemy. Enemies within a AbilityRangeBuff5 / 5 / 6 / 10 meters radius from the center of the dome are Ragdoll b Ragdolled, pulled by chains into the nearest unoccupied vertex, and suspended helplessly for the ability's duration.
    • Strangledome will pull enemies from behind obstacles and does not require line of sight.
    • Players, allied AI, and crowd control-resistant enemies can move and attack through the dome unhindered.
  • While captured, enemies are strangled by the chains taking AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 150 / 200 / 250 damage per second and receive 200% damage from weapons and abilities. In addition, captured enemies have a raised Threat Level, become susceptible to friendly fire, and taunt their former allies into attacking them.
    • Whipclaw130xWhite Whipclaw does not benefit from this damage bonus.
    • Damage is evenly split between DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture and DmgSlashSmall64 Slash.
      • Damage per second benefits from the damage multiplier, which results in Strangledome dealing double damage per second innately.
    • Friendly fire enables captured enemies to receive damage and Status Effects from their former allies.
    • When captured enemies are killed by the ability's innate damage their corpses are dismembered. This is a characteristic of slash majority damage.
    • When captured enemies die, they are released by the chains, freeing the previously occupied vertices to capture new enemies.
  • Ability Synergy: If at least one enemy captured by Strangledome is hit by Whipclaw130xWhite Whipclaw, the targeted enemy will receive 100% of Whipclaw's total damage and all other enemies in the same dome will each receive 50% of that total damage. This also works on a Strangledome cast by an ally Khora. Additionally, Whipclaw's Critical Chance and Status Chance will reroll on each enemy separately.
  • Strangledome adheres to the following casting requirements:
    • If cast in midair, Khora will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability.
    • Can be recast while active to create a new instance.
      • Khora can have up to 2 Strangledomes active at once. If attempting to create more than 2 Strangledomes, the oldest Strangledome created will be removed.
    • Casting Strangledome is a full-body animation that stops movement and other actions.
    • Strangledome is created 0.5 seconds after the casting animation ends, allowing Khora to move as the dome forms.
  • Strangledome's default shape is a pentakis icosidodecahedron cut in half to form a dome.
  • Each vertex of the dome will attempt to adhere to the nearest surface, reshaping the ability to conform with the environment.
  • Strangledome's chains are affected by Khora's chosen Accents color.
  • The electric currents jumping between vertices and glow on captured enemies are affected by Khora's chosen energy color.
  • Strangledome is a separate deployable object from Khora. As such, Warframe ability nullification effects applied to Khora will not destroy Strangledome.
  • Strangledome can only be nullified by Nullifier Crewman and Isolator Bursa null spheres.
    • Each chain inside the dome behaves as an individual connection, which breaks upon contact with nullifier spheres.
    • If enough chains connecting to a vertex are broken, that vertex is subtracted from the affected Strangledome's total vertices, therefore reducing the number of enemies the dome can hold captive.
    • Once all chains break, Strangledome is completely nullified and its duration is forced to end.
  • Enemies captured by Strangledome cannot prevent Tenno from capturing an Interception point, but can recapture it if an enemy is near the consoles even when strangled.
  • Strangledome has bugged interactions with Casting Speed mods (e.g. Mod TT 20px Natural Talent); it does increase animation speed, but after the animation finishes it starts over until the time where the normal animation would have finished, i.e: making Casting Speed mods useless.

Tips & Tricks

  • Strangledome's short cast time gives Khora a powerful panic button when enemies are dangerously close.
    • Strangledome can be cast while sliding to keep Khora on the move.
    • Can also be cast while wall clinging to create a floating dome.
  • Prepare domes preemptively where enemy presence is probable to capture more prey as they arrive.
  • Since strangled enemies sway and flail about, it can be difficult to identify them at a glance and hit them accurately. Use the damage numbers dealt by the dome as a visual cue to help you gauge the amount of enemies caught by your dome.
  • Strangled enemies receive double damage from abilities and weapons to help you and your team dispatch them quickly.
  • Strangled enemies also behave as individual decoys that draw aggression from other enemies. Consider leaving some enemies dangling about as distractions to protect your team and any objectives nearby.
  • Cast Whipclaw130xWhite Whipclaw on at least one strangled enemy to deal half damage to all other strangled enemies in the same dome.
  • Cast Ensnare130xWhite Ensnare on a strangled enemy to pull in new enemies from farther away, assisting Strangledome to capture them once in range, while allowing both Whipclaw and Venari to deal double damage to strangled and ensnared enemies within the dome.
  • When a dome's duration is about to end, cast again to create a second dome that captures enemies as they become freed from the previous dome to keep them disabled.

Bugs

  • Whipclaw does not deal double damage against captured enemies, while other abilities as well as Strangledome's damage do benefit from this damage bonus.
  • Captured enemies can swing wildly in an orbit when hit and not be pulled back closely to the occupied vertices.
