Understand Vauban Prime
Useful when…
- Use Bastille to capture and suspend enemies, strip their armor, and grant armor to Vauban Prime and allies within its field.
- Use Tether-Flechette to immobilize and draw in enemies. Holding Minelayer launches a Vector-Overdrive pad that accelerates foes and allies in its direction and increases ally Movement Speed and Weapon Damage.
- Place Photon Strike’s beacon to call a laser artillery strike; it deals doubled damage to enemies with Overguard.
Ability effects
Tesla Nervos deploys a roller drone that attaches to enemies and delivers bursts of arcing Electricity Damage to nearby targets. Tether-Flechette draws in and immobilizes enemies while launching nails. Holding Minelayer launches Vector-Overdrive in a direction: it accelerates foes and allies alike and increases ally Movement Speed and Weapon Damage. Photon Strike calls a laser artillery strike at its targeting beacon and deals doubled damage to enemies with Overguard. Bastille captures and suspends enemies, strips their armor, and grants armor to Vauban Prime and allies within its field. Holding Bastille collapses all Bastilles into a damaging vortex.
Field control and conditions
Bastille combines enemy control with armor stripping and grants armor only to Vauban Prime and allies within its field. Its held input collapses all Bastilles into a damaging vortex. Vector-Overdrive benefits allies but also accelerates enemies. Photon Strike is aimed through a beacon, and its doubled damage is specified for enemies with Overguard.
Stats and configuration
Vauban Prime has 270 Health, 270 Shield, 210 Armor, and 175 Power. His listed mod polarities are Naramon, Madurai, and Vazarin; his aura polarity is Naramon.
Comparison
The regular Vauban comparison lists 270 Health. Vauban Prime lists 270 Health, 270 Shield, and 210 Armor. The comparison does not provide regular Vauban’s shield, armor, ability details, or polarities, so those aspects cannot be compared from these figures.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Vector-Overdrive accelerates enemies as well as allies.
- Bastille’s armor grant applies to Vauban Prime and allies within its field.
- Photon Strike’s doubled damage is specified for enemies with Overguard.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Vector-Overdrive as an ally-only effect; it accelerates enemies too.
- Assuming Bastille grants armor to allies outside its field.
- Applying Photon Strike’s doubled damage to enemies without Overguard.
