** The elders just can't stop causing these. [[spoiler: The Specter Prime, Cocytus, turns on them for planning to execute his partner Gatekeeper Prime Zuriel when the two "only" manage a tactical victory against all three Chosen and the Viper King plus XCOM backup instead of getting a kill. This is the same Cocytus who took the Assassin's arm, mind.]]

** Mordenna, The Hunter, is Brittle – weak to close-range attacks including melee strikes such as SPARK punches.
** Fal-Mai, The Assassin, is Shellshocked – extremely weak to explosives. In-story, it's justified by how her acute hearing impairs her to the loud sounds of explosions.
** Jax-Rai, The Warlock, is Bewildered – weak to multiple attacks at once. The explanation given is that he's unable to focus on several different things simultaneously, and gets overwhelmed as a result.
