Finally, there is a bright blue circle on their backs, but it is only safe to target when the Scion is distracted by your squadmates or a Combat Drone.The hump on their back also receives more damage.Repeatedly shooting a Scion's "head" can also cause micro-stuns that slow its advance and rate of fire. Firstly, their head is located on their right 'shoulder' and shots landed there will deal greatly increased damage.Unlike other enemies, there are several weak spots on a Scion's body that you can exploit:.Scions move very slowly, but they relentlessly advance on their targets. It is immune to most disabling effects from powers, with Stasis being a notable exception. The Scion is heavily armored, but does not possess any barriers, shields or health. At very close range, Scions can unleash a deadly burst in a small area that deals more damage the closer it is to the target this attack also causes stuns. This can be counteracted by any ability that can manually/directly restore shields such as Tech Armor, Geth Shield Boost or Unity, as well as the Emergency Shielding research upgrade if the effect triggers. Direct hits cause a negative status effect, visible as a bluish residue, that will delay the normal recharge of friendly shields. Scions are armed with a powerful shoulder-mounted cannon which fires an advanced version of Shockwave that travels long distances, penetrates most cover, stuns affected targets, and deals heavy damage. Given the rarity of human biotics, it seems likely that these dust-form eezo nodules are deposited during their transformation, rather than requiring a biotic victim in the first place. The weapon creates a powerful warp effect, which is consistent with the eezo nodules visible in the scion's expansive nervous system. The scions' weapons, however, indicate that scions retain some living tissue, or at least sustain some of the same electrochemical reactions as those of a human biotic. This decentralization makes them highly resistant to gunshot wounds even a headshot is not a certain kill. This indicates scions are an amalgam of several individuals, with one primary victim providing the frame and several "secondaries" providing the flesh for a decentralized semi-mechanical nervous system. These sacks contain brain matter and spinal tissue, too much to have come from just one victim. One arm is replaced with a construct that fits a large rifle, turning the creature into a humanoid weapons platform, and a fleshy sack is supported by the creature's back and head. Hoses rather than veins and muscle tissue join major portions of the body together. ![]() Like husks, they are cybernetically modified on a nano-scale so they can operate even in hard vacuum. Posthumous examination of their bodies reveals a skin tone resembling that of Reaper husks, but their transformation process seems more extensive. The scion's frame and skull are similar to those of a human or asari, but the bone structure is overlaid with a metallic resin. Though the exact fate of species captured by the Collectors is unclear, the humanoid appearance of the scions gives ghastly clues.
