""GLIMPSE THE CHASM \ QUESTION THE GOAL. \ LOGIC AND EMPATHY. \ EMBRACE MORALITY. \ REDEMPTION AND RETRIBUTION." -Atheon Reborn"

Atheon's Redemption is an Exotic Sword that can be acquired from the "Road to Redemption" exotic quest associated with the Fall of Olympus Raid.

Perks

• Lightweight Frame: Fast movement and quick strikes. Use to launch a dash attack.
• Intrinsic Perk: Empty Moment - Press [Heavy Attack] to preform a dash attack that turns you invisible to all enemies at the start of the attack and then a sudden slash at the end of the dash.

• Columnn 1: Blade - Godslayer Edge - Greatly increased damage at the cost of sword ammo. Deals increased damage to boss level enemies, vehicles, and guardians mid-super. Damage is multiplied when dealing damage against vex enemies and bosses.

• Columnn 2: Guard - Enduring Guard - Sword Guard has maximized efficiency and high endurance, but low resistance.

• Column 3: Trait - Coming Storm - Consecutive rapid sword strikes increases this weapon's damage output and applies ammo regeneration.

• Column 4: Trait - Bladeless Blade - During the animation for Empty Moment, multiple separate slashes will be preformed and attack anyone within a 10m distance. Applies the Fractured Time debuff at base version and buffs it with catalyst.

Exotic Catalyst

• Fractured Time: Enemies affected by any of the combos will be frozen and unable to move for a duration between 5-10 seconds. Enemies killed by any of the combos create Chronological Zones that stop all enemies for 10 seconds in a 5m radius. (Chronological Zones have a lessened effect on enemies that have a Chrono elemental basis, around 2 seconds instead of 10)
• +10 Impact
• +10 Magazine
• Quantum Trigger: Hold [Block] to hold a stance.
  • Increases damage and mobility.
  • Gain stacks when dealing damage with stance attacks.
  • Additional stacks increase the damage, damage resistance of heavy attacks, and the swing speed of each attack.
• New Attacks and Combos
  • Ultraslash - Hold [Block] and then press [Light Attack] to preform a trust that will pierce the armor of enemies and temporarily stagger the target.
  • Skyward Slash - Hold [Block] and then press [Heavy Attack] to preform a forward uppercut the pierces the shields of all enemies within 3m of each other.
  • Heavenly Disrupt - Hold [Block] and then press [Light Attack], [Light Attack], [Heavy Attack], [Heavy Attack] to preform a thrust, then a trip, followed up by an upper twist and downward twist attack that will kill even the strongest enemies in the game.
  • Zero Zone - Hold [Block] and then hold [Grenade] to create a zone of stasis around you that interrupts and prevents healing, ability use, freezes all nearby enemies, and decreases all enemy armor by 20%.
  • Demon Cloak - Hold [Block] and then hold [Light Attack] to create a cloak around you that draws all attention from your allies to you. Grants greatly increased damage resistance.
  • Stunned Swallow - Hold [Block] and then hold [Heavy Attack] to preform an attack that starts with your character slowly swinging the blade clockwise, slowing all enemies within 10m, then ending with a devastating attack that consumes half the sword's energy. All enemies that attempt to attack while the animation is still going will be thrown into the air and remain in the same position for the remainder.
