Aereus Colossi

The Aereus Colossi are a special 5th Column encounter in the Imperious Task Force, and are exclusive to Advanced Difficulty.

Summary and Fundamental Strategy

This encounter spawns on the beachfront following the defeat of the Phalanx Computer objective in Mission 3, with a special cutscene. Strategically, a team will want to split up Dextro and Laeva, as they have abilities that strengthen the attacks of eachother. However, at certain health thresholds, the other Goliath will move to the position of the weakened one, forcing continued kiting over the course of the encounter. Both Goliaths also have powerful cone attacks with a long range, meaning tanks will want to position their target facing away from the rest of the team, who will want to actively position behind the Colossi.

Partway through the encounter, Vandal will arrive alongside an entourage of 5th Column enemies. While he is significantly less of a threat than the Goliaths, he (and his allies) are still very dangerous, and should be dealt with promptly upon arrival.

Despite not having their intended Incarnate-power batteries, the 5th Column's twin Aereus Colossi Dextro and Laeva were formidable displays of engineering.
