Idolaters are powerful humanoid entities commanded by the Witness, its Disciples and allies. They are nimble entities that wield powerful Scepters and Paracausal healing abilities.

Overview

Idolaters are thin and spindly vaguely humanoid constructs. They share similar appearance traits to Tormentors, Evocators and Subjugators with long arms and black claws with four fingers. Their skin appears to be made of the same material as objects found in Pyramid structures, including their arms being made from a similar glass-like material.

Like most of the Dread, the Evocators are based on one of its Disciples from a race that the Witness had conquered in the past pulled from its memories and transfigured using the stolen Light of the Traveler.

Gameplay

Idolaters are powerful healer units that stick in the rear of enemy forces. Its main method of attack is firing blasts of Solar Solar energy from its hand or Scepter. If a Guardian gets too close to melee them, they can use their Scepter as a melee weapon. Occasionally, they will thrust their Scepter upward to create a Well of Solar energy that seeks out allies within a short range of the Idolater that applies Solar Cure to them. They can also slam their orb on the ground to create a pool of fire that applies Solar Burn. However, their orb also acts as a precision spot that deals more damage to it compared to the rest of its body.

However, the most notable thing about Idolaters is their Healing capabilities. They can heal their allies through Solar Restorative Spirit which sends a wisp of healing Solar Solar energy to to nearest ally granting them Solar Restoration. They can also empower their allies with Solar Radiant Blessing which boosts their outgoing damage. These abilities will be indicated to the player when they begin to draw energy from their Scepter into their other hand which they will crush, dispersing the energy to all their allies in the vicinity however, knowing which Healing ability its using is determined by a symbol above its Scepter which will be a Trianlge for Solar Restorative Spirit, Solar Radiant Blessing being a Square, and a Circle for Solar Curing Harmony the Well of Energy that is has a significant telegraph that it's casting this. This can be interrupted by either a powerful shot to an Idolater's Scepter or certain Guardian abilities that Void suppress, Stasis freeze, or Strand suspend.
