Darkblades are formidable variants of the Hive Knights. Overview[edit]Darkblades were first introduced in Destiny in the form of Alak-Hul, the Darkblade, a unique Strike boss fought at the end of The Sunless Cell. Weaker versions of Alak-Hul were carried over into Destiny 2 as mini-bosses, such as the Abyssal Champion. They are visually identical to Alak-Hul, except for a glowing line on their helmets similar to those of Destiny 2's Knights, and mechanically similar. Gameplay[edit]Darkblades will advance slowly towards the player and attempt to crush them with their axes. Like Alak-Hul, their helmets will break off when they take enough damage, causing them to become enraged and begin rushing at the player in a straight line. While they are easy to outmaneuver, one must be mindful of their surroundings to avoid being cornered while doing so. Some Darkblades have access to a teleportation ability where they will dissipate into the air and reappear a few moments later, often behind and/or within striking distance of the player. One should stay on the move and watch out for the reappearance to keep their guard up. Known Darkblades[edit]
