Skills & Behavior

Any single instance of damage that deals more than 50% of the Void Devastator's total health will stun it and interrupt its attacks or movement.

Primary: White Bombs

The Devastator's left cannon charges for 1.5 seconds (scales with attack speed) and shoots a cluster of 10 small white orbs within 0.5 seconds (scales with attack speed) in 40° arc. Each orb moves at 140m/s and upon impact with the terrain it explodes dealing 80% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 3m with sweet spot falloff. It will then remain inactive until the Devastator's secondary attack is trigerred. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity it will explode dealing the same amount of damage. This attack has an end lag of 0.5 seconds which also scales with attack speed.

Captain's Defensive MicrobotsDefensive Microbots (Passive)Passively gain Microbots that shoot down nearby enemy projectiles. Drones are also given Microbots.
Survivor: Captain can delete the orbs both when they are launched and after they have stuck on the terrain.

This skill has a cooldown of 3 seconds.

Secondary: Black Bomb

The Devastator's right cannon charges for 1.5 seconds (scales with attack speed) and shoots a big black orb which moves at 30m/s and homes in on any nearby white stuck orbs. Upon impact this deals 600% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 24m with sweet spot falloff. This causes any white orbs within 24m to explode for the normal damage they deal. In addition, a delayed blast is left in the place of each activated white orb which explodes after 0.4 seconds and deals 600% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 in a radius of 12m with sweet spot fall off. Each of these explosions can activate previously inactive white orbs in their area of effect, which can cause a massive chain reaction. This has the potential of killing the player outright.

Defensive Microbots can block this attack.

This skill has a cooldown of 4 seconds.

Special: Void Missiles

The Devastator fires 7 pairs of void missiles similar to the Survivors of the Void - DLC Content

While you have shield, fire missiles on every hit. Corrupts all AtG Missile Mk. 1s.
Gain a shield equal to 10% of your maximum health. While you have a shield, hitting an enemy fires a missile that deals 40% (+40% per stack) TOTAL damage. Corrupts all AtG Missile Mk. 1s. projectiles every 0.25 seconds (scales with attack speed). These missiles move at a speed of 40m/s and home in on the target, but they will expire after 6 seconds without an impact. They deal 30% damage each and have a proc coefficient of 1.0.

This skill has a cooldown of 8 seconds.

Death: Implosion Cluster

When the Devastator is killed, it builds up a large implosion around itself that, after 5 seconds, instantly kills any entity within a radius of 22.5m. This also launches a cluster of 5 smaller void spherical projectiles that arch outwards and implode on impact in a radius of 3m, each having the same instant-death effect. Since these void orbs are projectiles, they can be blocked by Defensive Microbots.

Behaviors

1. Use special: the Devastator must be within 300m from its target, be aiming at its target, and have less than 50% health.
2. Use secondary and strafe: the Devastator must be within 50m from its target. This behavior is active for 0.5 seconds.
3. Use primary and strafe: the Devastator must be within 50m from its target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 1 second.
4. Use secondary and chase: the Devastator must be within 50-100m from its target. This behavior is active for 0.5 seconds.
5. Use primary and chase: the Devastator must be within 50-100m from its target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 1 second.
6. Chase: no requirements.

Notes

• Although the Void Devastator has a boss item, the chances of getting it are very low. The Void Devastator can only ever be a Teleporter Boss in the void family event (which is only a 2% chance per stage and only after looping), or when the Artifact of DissonanceDissonanceMonsters can appear outside their usual environments.

Lore

"There's old stories of an deity who commanded the waves. Not just the kind that lap at the shore on a sunny day, no, I'm talking the kind that brings cliffsides down. The kind of current that could effortlessly bat ten-ton cars aside, uproot skyscrapers, and drown entire cities. There's more, too. They say he also had the power to create earthquakes. Can you imagine that kind of power? Natural disasters are still a plague to this day, even in the advent of space travel. Could you imagine what it would be like to be in the presence of someone who was the master of such power? Who could call down a tidal wave, and smother your life away, with a snap of their fingers?

Such events undoubtedly inspired stories of gods who cast these events on their followers. Maybe out of spite, maybe out of some sense of justice. All I know is, if I were to look upon a being of such power... I'd cut my losses and run."

Memoir of Sean Locke, Mythology Professor

Trivia

• In keeping with the deep-sea theme of the Void and the monsters related to it, the Void Devastator's visual design seems to draw inspiration from ocean life, especially crustaceans and other arthropods. The Devastator in particular bears many features of common crabs (infraorder Brachyura).

    Periodically recruit allies from the Void. Corrupts all yellow items.
    Every 60 (-50% per stack) seconds, gain a random Void ally. Can have up to 1 (+1 per stack) allies at a time. Corrupts all yellow items.: The term "zoea" refers to a larval form present in the life cycle of some crustaceans, especially crabs.
• The Void Devastator's epithet, "Destroyer of Worlds", references a quote from the Bhagavad Gita, part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The quote in question can be found in Chapter 11, Verse 32:

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो [...]

Multiple English translations have been proposed. Some of them include:

1. I am the mighty Time, the one who causes the loss of the world.
2. I am the mighty Time, the one who causes the loss of the world.
3. I am the God of Death, the one who destroys the world.
4. I am Death, the destroyer of the world.

Nowadays, the quote is often mistakenly attributed to Julius Robert Oppenheimer, who in 1965 during in interview, said:

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
