Gameplay

The Herald of Finality functions much like any other Taken Captain, pelting Guardians with its Solar Shrapnel Launcher and occasionally teleporting short distances to evade fire. Unlike the base form of other Ultra variants of Taken Captains, the Herald inside launches a wave of five Arc Darkness Bolts to cover more ground and blind more Guardians in the process.

Trivia

  • A popular joke among the community is that the Herald is actually a Taken Taniks, despite there being no lore or in-game evidence towards this being the case, likely due to the similar head shape and the color scheme.
  • The Herald's respirator, shin guards and gauntlets match the Black Armory technology utilized by the Berserkers of the Kell's Scourge, but styled similar to the Dread.
  • The Herald shares their carmine color scheme with other powerful Taken.
  • In the promotional material for the Salvation's Edge Raid, the Herald of Finality does not possess the singular eye that Taken have.
  • The Herald of Finality has a unique sound for its gun firing.
