Strangledome

Info

• Khora expends 100 energy to crack her whip downward to unravel a cluster of living chains, creating a stationary dome spanning a 5 meters radius around her that lasts for 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 seconds. Strangledome possesses 26 vertices where its chains connect, with each vertex able to capture a single enemy. Enemies within a 5 / 5 / 6 / 10 meters radius from the center of the dome are  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 100 / 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.
  •  Whipclaw does not benefit from this damage bonus.
  • Damage is evenly split between  Impact,  Puncture and  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  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.  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.
