Description
The Moderator's disruptor beam reduces enemy speed and rate of fire by up to 50% in addition to dealing damage, making it effective against almost all targets.
Tactics and Strategy
Since the Moderator's slowbeam instantly hits, and since it deals significant amounts of slow damage, even high-weight raiders such as the Blitz and Pyro are ill-suited towards dealing with about equal numbers of Moderators. To counter this, try switching to using cheaper, smaller raiders like Glaives, or longer-ranged skirmishers like Ronins or Fencers.
Mechanics
Not only does the Moderator slow, it also overslows - setting every enemy unit caught in the blast to a temporary maximum slow of 58% (over the usual 50%). This lasts for 2 seconds.
