Projectile Hold

Projectile Hold was an enemy ability in Legacy of Kain: Defiance that was used by Dreadnaught archons.

The ability was considered the archons main form of attack apart from physical combat and consisted of a green projectile, seemingly 'spat' by the Archon which coated Raziel in a sticky web-like substance when struck, briefly paralysing and holding him in place; often this encourages the archon to advance and attack physically where they would usually maintain distance.^{[Defiance][Defiance strategy guide]}

Notes

As with other enemy abilities, the projectile hold ability is not directly named in game. It is however directly listed as a special attack of the Dreadnaught archons in the enemies section of Legacy of Kain: Defiance: Prima's Official Strategy Guide. The guide describes the ability as "a projectile of spectral ichor" and "spectral webbing".^{[Defiance strategy guide]}
