The icon identifying Overload Champions.

Overload Champions are a type of Champion enemy.

Overview

Visually, Overload Champions appear with a pair of tendril-like growths that wrap around their torsos. Overload Champions constantly regenerate health, making it incredibly difficult to kill them normally without dealing a high amount of burst damage to them. They will also use their abilities more often, such as the Fallen Captain's teleport and the Taken Hobgoblin's Retaliation Swarm.

Anti-Overload Champion effects are referred to as Disruption. Mods and other effects that grant Disruption allow the Champion to be stunned for several seconds. Repeatedly damaging an Overload Champion with Disruption effects will prevent its health from regenerating. However, once stunned, the Champion will be immune to being stunned again for a brief period of time.

Strategy

Overload Champions are usually aggressive, and can be very dangerous. Their movement abilities allow them to quickly take cover behind obstacles, allowing their health to regenerate.

After an Overload Champion is stunned, it is recommended to immediately use Power Weapons or high-damage Super abilities to deal as much damage to it as possible. When it starts moving again, continue damaging it with Disruption effects to keep it from regaining health.
