      • Understanding what the set does should be much easier now.
  • Polaron Procs:
    • Assigned a stack limit to Polaron Energy Drains.
    • Polaron energy drain comes with two components:
      • 1) Max energy level reduction to all subsystems that lasts 5 seconds.
      • 2) An instant drain of all subsystem energy.
        • This has no duration - enemy immediately begins regenerating energy lost from this instant effect.
