Usurper

Usurpers are powerful ranged combatants that belong in the Organoid tier.

Spawning

• Spawned by Challenge Watchers if their target is at least 2 blocks above them.

• Can be spawned by Proto Hiveminds when they have a target.

• Can be spawned by Hivetumors when they have a target.

• Can be spawned by Outpost Watchers when they have a target.

Unique Behavior

• Usurpers will periodically shoot a cluster of 4 projectiles at targets within their line of sight. These projectile rounds have four different types they can be:

  • Mycelic rounds deal 8 damage (x4 hearts) and inflict Mycelium Infection IV for 20 seconds.

  • Explosive rounds blow up with a blast strength of 1 and deal 6 damage (x3 hearts). They are also known to knock targets high into the air.

  • Corrosive rounds deal 8 damage (x4 hearts) and inflict Corrosion II for 30 seconds.

  • Incendiary rounds deal 12 damage (x6 hearts) and set targets on fire for 6 seconds. If an incendiary round hits a block, some fire will be placed.

Variants

Usurpers have a 66.6% chance to spawn as one of their two Variants (excluding normal Usurpers), with an overall 33.3% chance per Variant.

• Burst Fire Usurpers will, instead of shooting 4 rounds at once, rapidly fire between 3 to 6 projectiles one at a time. It has a 5 second reload timer in between shots.

• Spray Usurpers have a follow range of 8 blocks. They will shoot a vomit projectile every 5 ticks at their targets. Vomit projectiles deal 2 damage (x1 heart), ignore immunity frames, and inflict Corrosion I for 10 seconds. The amplifier increases by 1 for the target per instance of getting hit by additional vomit projectile (assuming it already has Corrosion); this has no cap.

Behavior

• Usurpers are hostile to most non-Spore mobs, with the exceptions being Animals and Fish (unless Should attack Animals is enabled via the Config) and mobs included in the Mobs Not Targeted blacklist within the Config.

• When Usurpers either spawn or despawn, they'll display an emerging or burrowing animation. During the emerging state, they are invulnerable to all damage; not, however, the burrowing state.

• Usurpers are immune to negative effects that are not above amplifier I.

• Affected by Crowd Control.

• Usurpers are stationary; immobile.

• Usurpers have a passive regeneration equivalent to about amplifier II. This is disabled while they are freezing.

• Usurpers can breathe underwater.

• If Usurpers detect they're on a block with a hardness of 4 or more, they'll instantly despawn.

• Present a weakness to the cold.

• Are affected by the Despawning System.

• Are affected by Vanilla Despawning.

• In regards to Frostbite, have a Body Heat of 2 and Enum Percentage of 7.5%.
