Possible exploiterator tweak

[deadtaco0]

Keep one drone for aoe dmg boost
Outside of fight it flies next to WX-78 like scanner
During fight it flies into sky and projects light/field (similar to scanner, but green) around WX-78 with radius of 1-1.5 tiles in which every enemy gets vex
If WX-78 uses ranged weapon, exploiterator flies to targeted enemy and vex range originates from them
Vex can remain +18% physical dmg boost for atrium, but add additional +4 shadow planar dmg for possessed atrium instead of increased physical dmg boost

This way it doesn't clutter screen during fight with drones, while allowing it to be retrieved outside of it.

AOE effect remains with single drone and it can be used with brightshade staff if enemies close together

Possessed atrium planar dmg buff is more stage appropriate and is not diminished by planar entity protection (68*0.06=4.08)

For cosmetic indicator of possessed atrium projected field can be darker or have unique drawing in it (like spiral or pure horror)

Also if isn't implemented already, make Greater Gestalts target WX-78 with installed shadow component

Like this idea, but at the same time maybe shadow creatures should be neutral to them? Or maybe neutral to ones with (Possessed) Shadow Atrium.

Neutral is too strong, but reduced agro range (two thirds and half of original) could be decent
