Skills & Behavior

Primary: Xi Cannon

The Xi Construct's front opens and after 1 second it fires a devastating beam at its target that deals 10 x 100% damage per second with a proc coefficient of 0.3 per tick. After 4 seconds the attack concludes by creating an explosion, which is indicated by a golden ring on the ground where the beam strikes. The blast deams 400% in a radius of 15m with linear falloff, with a proc coefficient of 0.0, a force magnitude of 6000 and a bonus force of 2000 in the y-direction. The attack has an end lag of 2 seconds.

The Xi Construct can only minimally change its firing angle when using this skill, but it can move back and forth horizontally to chase its target.

This skill has a cooldown of 8 seconds.

Utility: Xi Barrier

The Xi Construct creates a golden spherical shield with a radius of 15m around itself that functions similarly to Engineer'sEngineerThe Engineer is a unique class that requires planning and positioning to be successful.
Class: Unknown
HP: 130 (+39 per level)
Damage: 14 (+2.8 per level)
Armor: 0
Umbra: Fortification Expert Bubble ShieldBubble Shield (Utility)Place an impenetrable shield that blocks all incoming damage.
Survivor: Engineer, blocking projectiles (including hitscan projectiles) from the outside, but not those from the inside. The shield will stay up for 10 seconds and the Xi Construct will move but not attack for the duration; however, its Survivors of the Void - DLC Content

Armor: 0 will continue to attack.

This can be countered by going inside the shield and attacking the Xi Construct from inside; however, this may be difficult with less mobile Survivors.

While channeling the Xi Barrier, the Xi Construct will face downward and slowly rotate to the side, with any Alpha Constructs currently mounted on its faces rotating along with it.

The shield does not give any defensive buffs; it simply creates a spherical boundary that does not allow projectiles to cross it or any targetting attacks to acquire a target past it.

This skill has a cooldown of 15 seconds (which does not begin until the shield has disappeared).

Special: Tetra Alpha

Behaviors

1. Use special: no requirements. This means upon entering combat the Construct will instantly summon 4 Alpha Constructs.
2. Use utility: the Construct must have less than 50% health. This behavior cannot be used twice in a row, which is only relevant if the Construct has Hardlight AfterburnerHardlight Afterburner
   Add 2 extra charges of your Utility skill. Reduce Utility skill cooldown.
   Add +2 (+2 per stack) charges of your Utility skill. Reduces Utility skill cooldown by 33%..
3. Chase: the Construct must be more than 200m away from its target. This behavior will be active for 3 seconds upon selection.
4. Use primary: the Construct must be within 150m from its target and have line of sight. This behavior cannot be used twice in a row.
5. Follow: the Construct must be more than 100m away from its target. This behavior will be active for 0.5 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row.
6. Strafe: the Construct must be within 30-100m from its target. This behavior will be active for 0.5 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row.
7. Flee: the Construct must be within 30m from its target. This behavior will be active for 0.5 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row.
8. Stop: no distance requirements. This behavior will be active for 2 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row. This means that if all skills are on cooldown (or currently in use) and the target in within 200m, the Construct will alternate between a behavior from 5-7 for 0.5 seconds and standing still for 2 seconds.

Notes

• Xi Constructs will constantly try to put distance between themselves and the player, but generally will not make any attempts to get closer to a target. Attempting to chase them down will often just cause them to retreat further, which may prolong the Teleporter Event by a significant amount, especially if the player lacks long-range damage.
  • This may make it difficult to fight them as melee Survivors such as AcridAcridAcrid is a melee-range hybrid who uses powerful poisons to melt tanky enemies.
