Ironically, despite being statistically the most powerful Conduits, these are arguably the easiest type to actually defeat; after taking a certain amount of damage, the aura will falter and the Conduit will fall to the ground, get up, and attempt to extend the aura again. It is a simple matter for Cole to run up to them before they stand up again and finish them off. There have been instances of the conduit running up to Cole and meleeing him.
