How to Beat Boss: 'The Architect' (Corrupted AI)

Overcome The Architect, FragPunk's Corrupted AI boss, by countering its Holographic Minions and environmental hazards in Mission 5. Learn its attack patterns.

The Architect is the final boss of the Campaign Mode, encountered in Mission 5: 'Core Breach'. This boss is a sentient AI that manifests as a series of holographic projections and environmental hazards. You'll likely be playing as Aura or Shadow for this encounter.

Phases & Attacks:

1. Phase 1 (100%-70% Health): The Architect projects 'Holographic Minions' and creates 'Energy Walls' that block pathways. It also fires 'Tracking Orbs'.
2. Phase 2 (70%-40% Health): Introduces 'Corrupted Zones' on the floor that deal continuous damage, and 'Laser Grids' that sweep across the arena. Holographic Minions become more aggressive.
3. Phase 3 (40%-0% Health): The Architect becomes partially vulnerable, but also unleashes a 'Data Storm' that reduces visibility and constantly spawns Elite Holographic Minions.

Weaknesses & Strategy:

• Weak Point: The Architect itself is invulnerable until Phase 3. Its weakness lies in destroying the 'Data Conduits' that power its projections.
• Phase 1: Focus on destroying the Holographic Minions to prevent being overwhelmed. Use Aura's Healing Drone to sustain your team. Energy Walls can be destroyed by sustained fire or bypassed with movement abilities (Shadow's Cloak). Dodge Tracking Orbs.
• Phase 2: Prioritize avoiding Corrupted Zones and Laser Grids. Use Energy Barrier (Aura) to protect teammates from Laser Grids. Shadow can use her 'Shadow Step' to quickly traverse the arena and avoid hazards. Locate and destroy the 'Data Conduits' (glowing pillars) to force the Architect into Phase 3.
• Phase 3: The Architect's core becomes vulnerable. Unleash all your ultimate abilities and high-damage cards. Aura should focus on healing and using Barrier Field to protect against the Data Storm. Shadow should use her 'Cloak' and 'Backstab' ultimate to deal massive damage to the exposed core. Keep moving and prioritize the Elite Holographic Minions if they become too numerous.

Rewards:

Defeating The Architect completes the campaign, grants a large amount of XP, Credits, and unlocks the 'Architect Slayer' title, a unique Agent skin, and a legendary weapon charm.
