When a target enters the aura, they will suffer 100% decreased mobility and recovery as well as decreased weapon damage. Cannot be effected by debuffs. Once it spots the target, it will trigger an Arc ground blast that blinds them, sends them flying upward, and suspends them in midair for a short time. Primarily attacks through a barrage of fast-moving Void seeker bolts that cause slight knockback and greatly increase the flinch taken by the target; when faced at close range, its eye will let loose a Solar pulse that causes a heavy burning effect and moderate knockback.
