"With your own hands you forged the mighty Bolt-Caster. Now take it in hand and unleash its thunder."
— Weapon Description

Bolt-Caster is an exotic Sword introduced in The Taken King.[1] It is the upgraded version of Arc Edge, obtained through A Sword Reforged.

Gameplay[edit]

The Bolt-Caster's special attack is Sword of Thunder, which fires a large lightning bolt forward. Bolt-Caster is the only sword with a ranged attack. This consumes five ammo to cast. It also comes equipped with an Arc guard for protection against Solar and Void attacks, and increased armor. Even so, the Bolt-Caster is widely considered the least effective of the three exotic swords for PvE, but is actually the best sword available for PvP.

Upgrades[edit]

Column 1[edit]

  • Sword Strike-Used to Attack with Sword
  • Arc-Forged Guard- Use to guard. Effective against Solar and Void attacks, less effective against Arc attacks.
  • Infuse- Consume a more powerful Weapon to boost the Attack value of this Weapon.

Column 2[edit]

  • Tempered Light-Increased Armor when wielding the sword.

Column 3[edit]

  • Scabbard- Increases Sword Ammo Capacity
  • Live by the Sword- Kills with the sword have a chance to grant Orbs.

Column 4[edit]

  • Sword of Thunder- Use to shoot a beam of Arc Light from your sword creating a lingering electrical storm

Column 5[edit]

  • Scabbard- Increases Sword Ammo Capacity
  • Warrior of Light- Increased damage for your attack.
