SIVA Teleport |
Hey guys. What if Skolas actually came back? As if to say, the Devil Splicers somehow broke into the Prison of Elders and SIVA-fied him. Now, I know he was a pain back in Year 1 if you didn't have a prepared team, but how can we make him even more of a pain?
Mechanics
SIVA Scorch Cannon
Alright, so first, his Scorch Cannon will have gone SIVA-fied. It deals less damage than a normal Scorch Cannon, but it fires much faster and its rockets travel quicker, aggressively track their targets, and leave large SIVA Swarms upon detonation.
Splicer Servitor Bonds
This refers back to the Kaliks Minor bonds from before, except these Servitors can now shoot at you, provide a full immunity shield for Skolas, and now require both of them to be killed. This shield keeps coming up until he dies.
Critical SIVA Density
Every time his shield goes down, Skolas will fill the room with a critical density of SIVA for 30 seconds. However, the attack will not kill you if you are on the outer perimeter of the arena, although your health will be brought down to a critical state and recovery will be disabled for 10 seconds.
SIVA Infection
After the density phase ends, he can then be damaged, but before this can happen, he will taint all Guardians' Light and infect them with SIVA. The only way to counter this debuff is to kill a named Splicer Captain, who will then drop a spark of captured Light that Guardians can use to cure themselves. The damage phase resumes until the Splicer Servitors form another bond
Why?
Because Skolas has been irrelevant for some time now, and I enjoyed fighting him back in Year 1. Also, Taniks Perfected. Why can't they do the same to the others?
Answer: the Lore
Re: Why can't they do the same to the others?
Because 1): Taniks was "more machine than Eliksni"... literally. Likely the only thing of him that wasn't a machine was the parts of his brain where consciousness rests in, though given destiny's space-magic its probably not a big deal, Exos and the like. And 2): Skolas is dead.
Now, if there was another "Skolas-esque" Eliksni that tried to do something similar, then maybe. But the lore says otherwise.
