The revived invaders spam a hold that puts me in mind of the old Ego Storm/malevolent manifestation days. Back when holds meant something that is.
You z tap for ages to break free and it just renews itself, sometimes (not always) you can get away but you're very inclined to be held again.
I suppose this is a bug sure as heck it is incredibly frustrating and i just quit coz it has zero appeal.
P.S. This isn't just the first bit where you get captured it's in the groups you fight in the corridor too.

Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Have just tried again and submitted ticket number.... 1,399,410.
They don't write numbers like that anymore!
This behaviour maybe on all Revived Invaders far as I can tell the regular invader types don't have the hold.
I say they spam the hold but that's not quite the case. They fire it once and after you've z tapped like crazy and are getting near to your freedom, that's when they fire another hold so it gets refreshed.
I was doing this with a primary statted Con/Defiance build. It takes a loooong time to die from their puny weapons but die I do coz I can't fight back. I've tried staying at a distance and shooting em but the hold has some range. I can't be sure but I think it got me through my block! Maybe I just wasn't fast enough with it.
To reproduce simply wade into Whiteout 5 I dunno if it applies to all the episodes with Revived Invaders.

And the mission pack was pretty cool up to this point. I suppose it's the devs way of saying, A) we have no clue what we're doing technically, or
Either way, it's "meh" now with the perma-hold from a minion I *could* 1 shot if I was not held.
Oh well, on to better games probably.
Wundastar, my character, has Regeneration and Tank role, and wouldn't die, but couldn't get unheld no matter how much I Z-tapped. The only way I could finish this was to activate Immolation (which broke the hold but I'd often end up held immediately again), and let the Invaders nearby die from the damage aura on the Blazing Body advantage.
Since Immolation is on a 90 second cooldown, this was pretty slow and frustrating.
I figured that this wasn't working as intended.
Its a pity, because this was my first time playing Whiteout and everything else was fantastic. I really loved it.
I'll submit a ticket too.
Done - Bug #1,401,674
For those who do not follow/have access to the PTS here is some of the latest PTS patch.
I'm sure there will be a fix for this particular issue..... Very Soon!

Very frustrating. Please fix. :mad:
Any sort of phasing travel power will allow you to warp past them. Using the Ooze travel power device you got from the Commander in Whiteout #4 works as well. So far it's the only means to getting past the Revived Invader/Vanguard perma-hold spam.
Fortunately, the revived invaders were only hencemen, so what would happen is that i would be spam held, die and then I would come back and one-shot them to death using a charged boomerang. As they had already revealed themsleves, I could get in the first attack.
It looked like it was only revived Vanguards that were mega-holding. Invaders didn't seem to hold me. But that's not too terribly important.
The power that seems to be the issue is Roin'Esh Entanglement. It's the hold power, and it looks like it's got a fairly simple 6s duration, but they are able to spam it -and- I'm fairly confident that the hold's health as a decimal place error as it takes turbo-button level mashing to make any progress in breaking it.
