Conculyst

Conculysts are Sentient combat drones specialized for melee combat, capable of performing agile, heavy strikes, and forming an offensive whirlwind with their baton-arms alone. They have the unique ability to "adapt" to their enemy's attacks and gain resistances to damage types, facilitating the need to use multiple damage types in order to take them down.
They are first encountered in The Second Dream quest. They can then be encountered on the Orokin Moon tileset on Lua, spawning in pairs after an Oculyst scans a Tenno at the Orokin Moon tileset. They have also attracted the interest of the Corpus and can be very rarely encountered in Orb Vallis's Enrichment Lab, as well as in the Corpus Gas City tileset on Jupiter within the secret laboratories in test tubes and during the last phase of the Ropalolyst fight. They can mainly be found in Murex ships in Veil Proxima, where they dwell together with other Sentient unities.
 is also capable of summoning Tenno-aligned Conculysts via .
==Damage Adaptation==
==Variants==
==Behavior==
*Similar to their damage adaptation, they are also capable of adapting to debuff-based Warframe abilities such as 's , with each subsequent uses reducing their duration linearly by 33%, down to as low as 5%.
**Does not seem to apply with Blind debuff such as 's and 's .
**Does not seem to apply with proc-based debuff such as 's or 's .
*The Conculyst's main method of attack is to charge at a Tenno with their baton-arms, dealing massive damage.
*Conculysts can perform a whirlwind attack around themselves that will inflict heavy damage and knockdown a Tenno. They receive 50% damage reduction while performing it. The whirlwind hits once every second. The loss of arms does not seem to keep the Conculyst from performing this ability; however, losing both arms significantly reduces the effectiveness, as only contact with the arms or main body will actually cause any damage.
*Sometimes, after adapting to an attack, Conculysts will release several bursts of wavelight that will damage shields, but will not harm health in a similar manner to Laser Barrier.
*When near other Sentients, they can use their own version of amongst themselves which communally splits the damage they take to each other. Any damage adaptations that the host Sentient develops while linked will also be transferred over to the Sentient recipients.
*The Conculyst's arms can be removed by shooting them, or with 's . It is possible to remove both of their arms rendering them unable to attack normally, though this does not bar them from using their whirlwind attack.
*They are immune to levitating conditions such as and ragdoll conditions such as .
==Strategy==
*Do not let them corner you into a wall.
*Their weakpoint is the head. Ammunition will pass through their core and their chest.
*As with the Battalyst, their arms can be removed by shooting them. It's possible to remove both their arms, leaving them unable to attack normally, but still able to use their special attack.
*Be wary when using debuff abilities on this unit as each subsequent use will render them less and less effective. Avoid spamming certain abilities (such as ) as it will raise their resistance to the debuff even if it is still in effect.
** It is not recommended to use Nekros' Terrify against them, because they can fly and move very quickly, making them difficult to attack while terrified.
**Excalibur's Radial Blind, Mirage's Prism, Loki's Irradiated Disarm and Oberon's and Reckoning does not appear to be affected by this mechanic.
**Equinox's Maim ability is still affected, making the Sentients temporarily stunned & buy you more time.
*After finishing The War Within quest, using the Operator makes the fight much easier as the Void Beam cannot be adapted to and removes all of the damage adaptations the drone gained during the battle. Amps also makes fights against Conculysts significantly easier by providing additional firepower.
== Trivia ==
* Conculysts seemed to be the most common Sentient drone lore wise, as they appear in large numbers during cutscenes. The Sentient drones that guard Hunhow's Chamber during the beginning of The Second Dream, as well as Praghasa's throne room during Erra and The Maker, are in fact a horde of Conculysts. 
** During the Old War flashback in the Erra quest, the ground fighters that were defeated by Excalibur Prime also consisted solely of Conculysts before the Aerolyst appears.
*Unlike Tyro Battalysts, Tyro Conculyst retain the exact same appearance as their complete counterpart.
==Bugs==
*The Conculyst may lack both arms in its Codex entry and in the Simulacrum
