Alloy Supercharged Shot
The Alloy Worship Unit charges and fires six light blue orbs at the player in either a horizontal or vertical line, which explode on contact, dealing 100% damage each. Each explosion also leaves behind a small circle that pulses 4 times per second for 5 seconds, dealing 10% damage per pulse.

Solus Probe Launch
At random intervals, the Alloy Worship Unit summons 3 around itself.

Alloy Supercharged Detonation
After dropping below 50% of its maximum health, the Alloy Worship Unit will periodically gain a massive shield equal to its maximum health for around 5-10 seconds. During this period, 2 to 6 large blue circles will appear on the ground near random opponents,. These circles explode after a delay of approximately 5 seconds, dealing 400% damage in a very large area to any players inside and launching them into the air.

Each explosion has a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Tips

 * Players should stay off the ground for most of the fight, due to the large area that the Alloy Worship Unit can cover with its attacks.
 * Destroy shortly after they spawn so they do not become a large problem during the fight.
 * Do not underestimate the damage of the Supercharged Shot. It can instantly kill even a high HP player if multiple orbs hit.
 * For melee characters such as and, this attack can be extra dangerous due to the close range of the boss. Be careful when standing on top of the Alloy Worship Unit, as it can prove fatal if the player is caught off-guard.
 * Mercenary can knock the Alloy Worship Unit into terrain using, dealing severe damage. As of the 1.0 update, this has become more challenging but is still possible.
 * Using the pillar at the middle of map, can deal heavy damage by attaching  to the pillar while the Alloy Worship Unit is on the other side. If the Worship Unit is close, Tangling Growth will pull it in and smash it against the pillar.
 * The same effect can be accomplished by using or  to push the Worship Unit into terrain, though this is more difficult.
 * Because players are slowed while the Supercharged Detonation attack charges, it is strongly recommended to save a movement ability for dodging it. An alternative is to jump high enough to not get hit, provided the player has jump-boosting items.
 * Players without meaningful on-hit effects, such as healing or, should pause attacking the boss while it gains shields and focus more on dodging the attack.
 * Both the orb shot attack and the detonation circle attack can be shot down by, making this a relatively easy fight for him, especially with sufficient attack speed.

Trivia

 * The name of this enemy seems to be in reference to the Alloy Vultures, since it is summoned by the destruction of their nests, has Alloy in its name, and its title is the 'Friend of Vultures.' This is further supported by its Lore entry, insinuating that something (almost definitely the Alloy Vultures) decorated and repaired the Alloy Worship Unit prior to becoming what it is currently, hence the name “Alloy Worship Unit” as it was worshipped by the Alloy Vultures.
