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.

BUG: (As of Seekers of the Storm, the Xi Construct beam will *not* explode at the end of its duration)

The Xi Construct can aim freely during the attack's duration, but the beam will slowly track and struggle to keep up with it unless at long range. It can still move back and forth horizontally to chase its target.

This skill has a cooldown of 8 seconds.

Utility: Xi Barrier[]

The Xi Construct spawns 4 allied Survivors of the Void - DLC Content

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. Some abilities are capable of ignoring the shield altogether, like StrafeStrafe (Primary)Agile. Quickly fire a seeking arrow for 150% damage.

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).

on a corner, which supports it with additional firepower. After these are destroyed, the Xi Construct periodically re-summons them. There can be a maximum of 4 constructs on the boss at all times.

This skill has a cooldown of 4 seconds. It can store up to 4 charges, and it can only be used if there is at least one empty spawning location.

Behaviors[]

  1. Use special: no requirements. This means upon entering combat the Construct will constantly summon an Alpha Construct as long as there is space and the skill is off cooldown.
  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[]

  • Unlike many other enemies, the Xi Construct does not have a collision hitbox, meaning that players cannot stand on it. 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.

  • 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.
  • Since the Xi Construct continually summons 4 weak allies that are attached to it, on-kill items like the GasolineGasoline
