Keystone Army	comment	A Keystone Army is an invasion force or army that's seemingly unstoppable, except for one particular weakness in the form of a well protected but very fragile component. It can be an individual soldier, an object or whatever, but if you destroy or tamper with it, the entire army is immediately disabled. This plot device is handy as it allows a handful of heroes to win the war without having to depict them fighting off the entire enemy force. Just a daring raid on the enemy's stronghold and BAM! Evil is defeated. It also allows otherwise unstoppable foes to be suddenly stopped dead in their tracks. General forms include having the MacGuffin-weakness be the Hive Queen of an enemy Hive Mind, the sole source of all the enemies' powers, or the lone connection to Another Dimension or sole anchor to our own. Just like a real keystone, once it's destroyed, the rest falls apart. Bee People are likely to be a Keystone Army if they have a Hive Queen, and as such trashing it is a good way to win the Bug War. Another common Keystone Army simply replaces the insects with Killer Robots or Grey Goo and the Hive Mind with a Master Computer or evil AI, and yet another popular variation has an Evil Sorcerer whose (often Undead, Mind Controlled or Demonic) minions will cease to be a problem due to No Ontological Inertia upon his death/defeat/distraction. An army of monsters may be defeated by killing the Monster Progenitor. Easily Thwarted Alien Invasions often employs such armies. We Cannot Go On Without You is a case of the player character of a video game being the keystone in their party's army. Of course, no one ever considered that someone would aim at their army's one weakness. After all, it would be rather anticlimactic to destroy the Killer Robot's central control but have a backup one come online in another location. Despite the name, only occasionally is the vital component a Cosmic Keystone. A type of Instant-Win Condition. See also Decapitated Army, for when the keystone is the leader. Straight for the Commander exploits this trope. The armed forces equivalent of a Terminally Dependent Society. See also Fantastic Fragility. Compare Untouchable Until Tagged, when individual Nigh-Invulnerable fighters get mobbed after an unlucky hit. Similar, but not to be confused with the Keystone Kops.

Keystone Army / int_13a61240	comment	The Rise of Skywalker: The Final Order is an unstoppable armada of Planet Destroying Star Destroyers, but their one flaw is that the planet they were built on is in such a violative part of space that they need a guiding signal in order to leave. Thus, during the Final Battle, the Resistance targets the source of that signal (initially a ground relay, but moved to the flagship by a pragmatic First Order officer), knowing that if they destroy it, the armada will be trapped and useless to their enemies.

The villain is marching his army toward the hero's castle, he rules his men with fear and bad luck has cost him his two best lieutenants. If they can kill him and his last second-in-command then his army should disband. They have to succeed because while he can't take the castle in a single battle, they won't be able to win a prolonged guerrilla war against him.

Keystone Army / int_17bfcf60	comment	Played with in the Homeworld series: In the first game, the mighty Taiidan Empire is defeated, and you can claim your ancestral homeworld of Hiigara, the moment you take down the Imperial flagship and the empire on it. Justified because the Taiidan had pissed off enough people that the Galactic Council, and the Bentusi in particular, take the chance to enforce your claim to Hiigara, while the Taiidan rebellion takes the chance to destroy the databank with the emperor's genetic code, thus preventing a clean succession (the emperor was mad and had killed off all the possible heirs, and cloning him would have been the only way to find a successor acceptable to the whole military. It's implied he himself is a clone of the previous emperor) and creating their Taiidan Republic while the Imperialist forces (at least those who haven't defected) fight each other to try and impose their respective leaders as the new emperor. Though this is far from the end of the conflict; the former Empire is now a fractious mix of bickering successor states, and a lot of serious military hardware is in the hands of various "Imperial Loyalist" groups and Former Regime Personnel who've turned warlord or pirate. In Cataclysm, it's not fully applied: taking down the Beast Mothership and then the Naggarok is a huge blow to the Beast, but all of that means the scattered remains of the Beast aren't near-unstoppable anymore, and there's a post-game clean-up; In Homeworld 2 you take down Makaan in the second-to-last mission. As his charisma was the only thing keeping the various Vaygr Crusades together, this breaks their military might in multiple lesser fleets... Including the one equipped with almost indestructible planet killers, that now has nothing stopping them from attacking Hiigara. Destroying those planet killers (using the mighty warship you killed Makaan over) is your last mission.

Keystone Army / int_21d1578d	comment	Several Doraemon films have the heroes taking down a single element controlling the invading army leading to their immediate victory: Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil has the Mad AI Poseidon, leader of the underwater robot army who wiped out the inhabitants of Atlantis and is targeting the surface world. Once Poseidon is destroyed via Buggy's Eat Me Heroic Sacrifice, his robots and drones quickly come to a standstill. The climax of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld, where Doraemon and friends, including their new allies Miyoko and Professor Mangetsu, battle the Demon Lord Demaon and his legions. The battle ends when Demaon's heart is pierced, leading to his entire army's immediate downfall. Doraemon: Nobita and the Tin Labyrinth features yet another hostile robot race from Planet Chamocha, controlled by their leader Professor Napogisutora whose brain controls literally every robot in his army. Doraemon managed to fire a disc containing a Computer Virus into Napogisutora's mouth, and then the virus caused the robots in the entire legion to malfunction and destroy each other. Doraemon: Nobita's Drifts in the Universe has the Independence Army's Attack Drone fleet, meant for large-scale invasions on peaceful alien worlds, which got shut down once Nobita, Doraemon and Lian sabotaged the antenna controlling them.

The SOP can be seen as the keystone in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Sure, they give you more awareness and perfect response, and suppress PTSD, but if you lose it, expect withdrawal.

This however backfired on them when Anakin managed to blow up the only one they had left in Naboo's orbit, as the droids shut down on the spot upon losing the signal. A less literal version with the Gungan army; they turn and flee as soon as their shield generator is destroyed. Justified, because the Trade Federation army had brought tanks to the battle, and with the shield down they could move in. And do. They also had no reason to stay once the enemy was fully committed, since the battle was only a diversion in any case.

This appears to be the case in the wider narrative of the Invasion of Gallia: the first Valkyria Chronicles credits Squad 7 with officially ending the war when they killed Maximillian. This seemed unlikely for a fairly grounded war story, and it was later revealed nobody involved knew what actually happened. Valkyria Chronicles 4 provided a concrete subversion: the actual turning point was a Federation ranger squad (consisting of Gallian expats) destroyed the rail base that was the logistic bottleneck supplying Maximillian's war machine. After that, the invasion was on borrowed time, though neither the Federation nor Gallia could compare notes after it happened.

However, just killing him won't get rid of it; he has to actually be forced to stop it. The first Naruto Shippuden movie features a nigh-invulnerable terracotta army that is animated by an Eldritch Abomination type being called Mouryu. The only practical way to stop it is by sealing this creature, which is in itself a pretty tall order once its soul and body have reunited. Which, in a surprising moment of savvy, is why they sealed the soul & body in two different places. Mouryu, unfortunately, has shades of As Long as There Is Evil going on.

Leet killing the Warboss in the Battle of the Death Star allows the Imperial forces to leave the artificial planet. When Taylor finally defeats Ka'Bandha, the demonic portal allowing it to come from the Warp is closed down. Arrgard's death during Operation Stalingrad puts an end to his WAAAGH! against the Necrons. Killing the last Synapse creature on Ardium reduces the Tyranid swarm from an unstoppable horde to merely being a large pack of feral beasts. The death of Lorgar causes a total morale failure in the Word Bearers Legion. The effects are temporary, but since it happened during a battle, the casualties before they can recover are catastrophic.

The Vong make use of telepathic creatures called yammosks or "war coordinators" which essentially function as organic supercomputers that can analyze an entire battlefield and then psychically feed information and orders to all Vong warriors within range, making them extremely organized and effective. However, the individual warriors are still individuals - killing (or, after the technology is developed, jamming) the yammosk is considered a viable tactic because it will shatter the telepathic link and have a severe impact on morale and tactical response, but the Vong will be able to continue fighting without it, albeit at reduced efficiency.

The Priests of Order can activate the Obelisks and will resurrect if they are killed as long as the Obelisk remains active. The Knights of Order spawn from the Obelisks while active. The only way to deactivate an Obelisk is to overload it (by placing the hearts of the Knights into it).

However, Mar-Vell realizes that despite becoming a Reality Warper, his power is still in-flux and reliant on the Cube. Thanos tries to age him into dust, but with his dying breath, Mar-Vell manages to strike the Cube and undo Thanos' changes. As a side-effect, Thanos is turned to stone, dead.

This seemed unlikely for a fairly grounded war story, and it was later revealed nobody involved knew what actually happened. Valkyria Chronicles 4 provided a concrete subversion: the actual turning point was a Federation ranger squad (consisting of Gallian expats) destroyed the rail base that was the logistic bottleneck supplying Maximillian's war machine. After that, the invasion was on borrowed time, though neither the Federation nor Gallia could compare notes after it happened.

This can comically extend to entire packs of vampires or a dungeon full of necromancers, as they will raise their fallen comrades, who then proceeds to raise more of their comrades. However, if you allow them to do this while keeping track of the last "living" one, killing him results in the entire room dissipating into dust. Not to the scale of an army, but the Dawnguard DLC gives you a quest where you must fight your way through a cave of charmed Vigilant of Stendarr.

Keystone Army / int_629cd094	comment	In Dragon Age: Origins, killing the Archdemon immediately ends the Blight. Justified since the Archdemon's will is what unites the Always Chaotic Evil Darkspawn hordes into an organized military force. The expansion Awakening subverts this — one of your tasks as the newly appointed Warden Commander in Amaranthine is to investigate why and how Darkspawn are still making fairly organized attacks on the surface (though not on the same scale as a full blown Blight). This particular Keystone is also much harder to destroy than most examples. Not only is the Archdemon itself incredibly powerful, it can even transfer its soul to the nearest darkspawn and thus be reborn. So unless a Grey Warden sacrifices himself/herself by taking in the Archdemon's soul (an act that destroys both of their souls) or partakes in Morrigan's Ritual which transfers the Archdemon's soul into Morrigan's developing child, the only way to end a Blight would be to kill every darkspawn in existence. Which is impossible considering they outnumber just about everybody and the Broodmothers can generate more at a ridiculous pace. This is why the first Blight lasted something like two hundred years. A smaller example occurs in Awakening, where a darkspawn uses a control rod to make a bunch of golems attack you. Killing the darkspawn deactivates all the golems and allows you to loot his control rod, allowing you to use another golem against some darkspawn in the next room.

Although normally queens possess the ability to give birth to new subsidiary queens, so killing one may rout the Vord in the area, but won't destroy their threat. The Vord Queen in Alera explicitly says she blocked this ability in all other Vord since other Queens immediately tried to kill her, leaving one primary keystone target. Ultimately, though, this trope is averted: after The original Queen dies, the Vord revert to their simple, individualistic natures, but because they're arranged in a massively tight formation charging into the Aleran defenses, they still have no choice but to keep attacking. Although the battle is made easier since the Vord near the back will desert and some others might resort to attacking each other, the Aleran forces still have to fight on for several hours after their victory is assured.

So if you can get to the generals and put them down (without getting killed, of course), you can quickly swing the battle with a minimum of fighting. There are a number of tasks (particularly in 3) that are nearly impossible to accomplish any other way. Relatedly, in some Adventure Mode levels of spinoff crossover Hyrule Warriors, the enemy will send out an elite force of morale-boosted mooks led by an officer with a stat buff. These forces can endanger your keeps more quickly and are tougher to deal with than the ordinary Raid Forces, but will naurally rout instantly with the defeat of their officer.

Diana entirely believes that mankind's love of violence and warfare is being caused by Ares and knows that once she kills him, humanity will end the war and return to peace. When she kills the man she thinks is Ares though, the trope is horribly, painfully averted. She sees that men will continue fighting and is forced to realize that the War Is Hell landscape she spent half the movie making her way across is really nothing to do with influence. After briefly flirting with the possibility that Humans Are Bastards who don't deserve her help, she goes on to confront the actual Ares.... who casually reveals that he influences humanity to fight each other, he doesn't force it. When Diana kills Ares, she sees several soldiers removing their helmets and looking confused and relieved, but it could just as easily be because two Gods were fighting in their base and they're happy to be alive.

In the novelization, it's noted that Mark's proposed fix is a best-case scenario and there's a real possibility as far as anyone knows until the end that the Titans will continue rampaging even without Ghidorah's direction. Fortunately, after Godzilla kills Ghidorah, the Titans do stop rampaging under their new king's leadership, and they even begin cleaning up the ecological damage that's been done to the world.

Graven Ashe, Archon of War and their beloved leader, is the one healing them from this near-automatically by taking on their injuries and pain; he can survive them, even if they've worn him down over time... but if he dies, all those injuries catch up with the Disfavored and most of them just flat-out drop dead, while others are permanently crippled by the injuries' return. Even those that remain unharmed undergo a massive mental breakdown (to which not even your party member Barik is immune) and end up in no condition to fight; it's unknown how much of that is just trauma from losing their beloved general and only leader they've ever known, and how much of that is the Aegis' fall taking their sanity with it.

Most armies will take the loss of their general poorly, but the undead units of the Vampire army will literally start to crumble should the Vampire Lord or Necromancer commanding the army perish in battle, as there's no more dark magic to sustain them. Going straight for the commander is the best anti-Vampire tactic given that Vampire units never rout or flee and always fight to the bitter end, but also given that Necromancers often hide in the back lines and that Vampire Lords are often skilled fighters in their own right, accomplishing this is easier said than done.

The Priests of Order can activate the Obelisks and will resurrect if they are killed as long as the Obelisk remains active. The Knights of Order spawn from the Obelisks while active. The only way to deactivate an Obelisk is to overload it (by placing the hearts of the Knights into it). Skyrim: Summoned Daedra and undead will die/vanish if the person who summoned them is killed. This can comically extend to entire packs of vampires or a dungeon full of necromancers, as they will raise their fallen comrades, who then proceeds to raise more of their comrades. However, if you allow them to do this while keeping track of the last "living" one, killing him results in the entire room dissipating into dust. Not to the scale of an army, but the Dawnguard DLC gives you a quest where you must fight your way through a cave of charmed Vigilant of Stendarr. It is entirely possible to ignore their attacks and take a sprint down to the vampire controlling them. Killing said vampire prompts all of its thralls to drop dead.

The Expansion Pack Brood War subverts this; without the Overmind to direct their actions, the Swarm launches into a mindless frenzy and slaughters half the Protoss population. Then lots of backstabbing intrigue about control of the Swarm happens. A similar effect occurs when a Cerebrate is killed, except the Cerebrates only control specific broods, or sections of the swarm. Both example however apply only to the story and lore, and not the actual gameplay, except for specific campaign scenarios. The campaigns themselves are rife with examples where the key to victory against overwhelming odds lies in destroying weak points; for example, "Shatter the Sky", one of the two alternate penultimate missions in StarCraft II, tasks you to destroy a space station with overwhelming forces of zerg crawling on it by taking down its coolant towers.

Somewhat subverted in that the Buggers actually know that this is their weakness and actively hide the Queen among the rest of the ships. It takes a genius tactician like Ender to figure out which one is the Queen ship, and even he can't do it in the middle of combat. On top of that, the Queen usually isn't even with her troops, being capable of instantaneous communication from halfway across the galaxy. As a result, Ender ends up having to wipe out whole fleets at a time. It's played straight in the narration of the past Bug Wars, with the justification that the Buggers only saw killing a Hive Queen as killing, which was part of the reason for Humanity's fear and hatred of the species; when they happened upon a human colony, they dismantled our technology to see how it worked - after they "dismantled" the colonists to see how they worked. They didn't understand how much that would piss us off any more than they could comprehend that we would kill a sentient queen, rather than the nonsentient workers. They've learned.

Keystone Army / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: By Season 7, Daenerys' court are clearly the most powerful faction on the show (with the possible exception of the White Walkers) once they are allied with the Starks to defeat the Northern threat. However, multiple characters note that if Daenerys herself (the only one capable of controlling her dragons and commanding the Dothraki) is killed, her alliance will crumble instantly. Tyrion advises against Daenerys fighting in the field for this very reason. In Episode 4 of Season 7, Jaime Lannister demonstrates Daenerys' importance when he initiates a suicidal charge against her for the chance to end the war between Daenerys's faction and the Lannisters. Season 7's sixth episode reveals that the army of the dead is this as each White Walker is linked to the wights it raises from the dead, so if it dies, they die. It's suggested that, as he created all the other wight walkers, killing the Night's king would kill all the White Walkers, but it left untested. Season 8's third episode brings the climactic Battle for the Dawn at Winterfell and the theory is both tested and ultimately proven right by Arya Stark when she kills the Night King. The entire Army of the Dead and all of the White Walkers literally fall to pieces moments thereafter. Jon later assassinates Daenerys, which demonstrates that their prediction was right, as her forces quickly evaporate, with her last dragon flying off with her corpse while the Dothraki and Unsullied go their separate ways, not even attempting to continue her campaign.

Keystone Army / int_bff01809	comment	In early versions of Warhammer Fantasy, if the general of an Undead army (normally a Necromancer, Vampire or Tomb King) was killed, the army would quite literally disintegrate. This was toned down in later editions as leader units were nerfed and killing them became a less daunting prospect, but it's still bad news. Dogs of War (essentially a lot of mercenary companies scraped together into an army) don't much care about their general... but if the Paymaster is killed and his treasure chest captured, they're likely to run for it. Inverted by Thorgrim Grudgebearer, who has the ability to grant his entire army Hatred (re-roll misses in the first turn of melee) when he dies. While only mentioned in the fluff, it is generally considered common Warhammer knowledge that killing a major Warboss will inevitably cause any WAAAGH to eventually collapse in on itself, as weaker Warbosses and Orcs start to turn on each other to claim the title. However, this has no representation in the rules — no petty infighting is going to make them stop in the middle of a fight they're already engaged in. The spin-off game Warmaster has "kill the enemy's general" as one of the generic win conditions for all armies.

Keystone Army / int_c0eae17	comment	Occurs twice in the Total War games. First, eliminating the general leading an army causes that army's morale and fighting capacity to decrease, making them much easier to defeat (though it's not an instant win). On the strategic map, removing all the adult male members of a faction's royal family (via Assassination, or by bribing / marrying them into your own faction) causes that faction to lose, no matter how many territory or armies it controls. Total War also includes an inversion. If a general has a lot of losses, their leadership bonus goes negative. Assassinating a general replaces him with a newly-promoted subordinate who starts at zero. So, killing an enemy's lousy general improves his army's chances for victory. Taken to an extreme by the Vampire Counts in Total War: Warhammer. Most armies will take the loss of their general poorly, but the undead units of the Vampire army will literally start to crumble should the Vampire Lord or Necromancer commanding the army perish in battle, as there's no more dark magic to sustain them. Going straight for the commander is the best anti-Vampire tactic given that Vampire units never rout or flee and always fight to the bitter end, but also given that Necromancers often hide in the back lines and that Vampire Lords are often skilled fighters in their own right, accomplishing this is easier said than done.

Each level is essentially a glorified arena for two (or more) wizards to compete in, and each wizard is a combination of a mobile base, resource gatherer and spell provider. Death Is a Slap on the Wrist applies because each wizard has a connection to a mystical altar, which rapidly revitalizes them; death merely prevents them from summoning new troops or casting spells, but their army keeps on fighting. Only by defiling the wizard's altar and then slaying them can they be removed from the battlefield — and when that happens, all of their troops drop dead, because they no longer have their master to sustain them. Each battle, then, is a constant struggle by all of the players to take out the rival wizards.

It turns out that all of the multivaried aliens in the fleet are depending on a single gizmo on one ship to translate for them so they can understand each other. The Avengers destroy it, and then win fairly easily. Somewhat justified when it turns out that Thanos arranged the whole thing as a distraction from his real evil plan, and didn't especially care whether the space fleet succeeded or not. Even Thanos' actual evil plan, using the Cosmic Cube to make himself a god, turns out to be this. Captain Mar-Vell (alongside a small group of allies made up of Drax the Destroyer, Drax's daughter Moondragon, Thanos' brother and father, as well as Iron Man) is hopelessly outmatched by the all-powerful Mad Titan, especially after he uses the Cube to become one with the cosmos. However, Mar-Vell realizes that despite becoming a Reality Warper, his power is still in-flux and reliant on the Cube. Thanos tries to age him into dust, but with his dying breath, Mar-Vell manages to strike the Cube and undo Thanos' changes. As a side-effect, Thanos is turned to stone, dead. The members of his forces that remain on his flagship and aren't members of the distraction fleet then scatter and flee without him to lead them.

Common ones include "Protect the Kog'Maw" comps, where four champions on the team are picked to buff and protect the fifth one, a long-ranged hypercarry who is almost unstoppable in the late game. Alternatively, teams that pick Soraka and rely on her incredible healing power to keep their damage dealers alive can end up as this- because her base healing spell costs her 10% of her maximum HP with each cast and cannot be cast on herself, Soraka is regularly left dangerously close to death as the price of keeping her teammates healthy, so if the enemy team manage to Shoot the Medic First her entire team can suddenly collapse like a Jenga tower with the base removed.

Heirs can either be popped naturally or designated at great expense. When a Side ends, any units in the field disband (cease to exist), while any cities go "neutral," meaning they freeze in time until someone attacks them. If all the cities are captured or razed when the Ruler is croaked, then if they have an heir, that heir will become a barbarian, a nomadic unit without a true Side. Barbarians have a limited purse and no easy way of making more money, but if they capture another capital they can start a new Side.

Keystone Army / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	Revenge of the Sith: when Order 66 is executed, the Separatist Droid Army is defeated on a galactic scale by the activation of the new safety measure, the shut down signal - as intended by the plan, as Palpatine, being behind both sides of the war the entire time, wanted to be able to end the war instantly once he had accomplished his goals.

They are defeated twice by this: the first time by a self-destruct code that had been built into the various parts they were made off, and the second time by a signal to their mothership ordering them to go offline.

Knowing that she can't summon Tyadrig without Aaron, she decides to let the heroes have an actual victory instead of a pyrrhic one and siphons the magic from all the undead.

Keystone Army / int_fb0b20f2	comment	In Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, destroying the Quantum Rift of the Seraphim stops their invasion dead in its tracks. Justified in that the Seraphim technology simply doesn't work very well in our dimension, and the Seraphim have been taking a ruthless pounding for the last few weeks, just lost two major allies, and were in the process of turning on their last one when the Quantum Arch was destroyed. In both the Supreme Commander game and its expansion, armies will deactivate if their Armored Command Unit is destroyed. In multiplayer mode, losing one's ACU is a condition to lose the game. Justified in that the ACU contains the only person on the field, and that all the other units are robots under his or her control. sACU's are shown to sometimes be piloted by humans, but only in story missions.

Keystone Army / int_fd0b756	comment	The destruction of the Ring destroys Sauron's physical shape, which confuses and thus incapacitates the parts of his armies which were more directly controlled by his will (e.g. the orc leadership), which makes them easy game; the not-magically-controlled human armies had various natural reactions, some surrendering and some keeping on fighting. While it is shown that Orc kingdoms and tribes can still exist without Sauron's direct control, he was the only thing unifying them into a superpower, and without said leadership they splinter and become easy pickings (even the relatively large Orc/Goblin realm in The Hobbit ultimately had the bulk of its strength exterminated by fewer than 2,000 Elves, Men, Dwarves, and Eagles).
