Forum:Xivu Arath, War Progenitor

Xivu Arath, War Progenitor is the "God of War" of the Hive.

Gameplay
Arath will be functionally similar to Crota, but much more aggressive. She has the ability to fire Darkness Blasts, but her main weapon is a warhammer that leaves poison clouds on impact. She also will inflict a debuff called Arath's Presence, where Guardian] abilities will charge drastically slower and do significantly less damage for the entire fight. As she chases down one Guardian at random, she will summon Consorts of Arath, special Gatekeeper-type Knights armed with hammers. They are immune to weapons and can only be killed by Ascendant Swords obtained from killing the Swordbearer. Killing the Consorts will cause a warhammer relic to appear. Once the relic has been picked up, the wielder is then inflicted with the Blighted Light debuff, where their slowly starts to decline until Arath's shield is destroyed by gunfire. Once her shield is down, she will be stunned, but can only be damaged by the warhammer relic for 20 seconds. After sustaining damage, Arath will summon her Oversoul. If it is not destroyed, the entire team is instantly killed.
