'''Primevals''' are a class of [[Taken]] that are featured in [[Gambit]]. According to the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]], they are among the oldest and most powerful [[Taken]], hence their name. They can be summoned through the use of [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Darkness]] (75 motes in normal [[Gambit]], 100 in [[Gambit Prime]]).<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ancient-apocalypse-strides?highlight=Primevals Ancient Apocalypse Strides]</ref> | |||

At one point, [[The Guardian]] managed to gain into their possession the Heart of an Ascendant Primeval, it was delivered to the [[Drifter]] who would use it for later purposes.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-city-of-secrets-darkness-in-the-light?highlight=primeval City of Secrets]</ref> Primevals are fast and powerful enough to tear apart teams of [[Guardian]]s, and are able to heal themselves through killing opponents.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/records/gambit-prime?highlight=primeval Gambit Prime]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/records/the-reckoning?highlight=primeval The Reckoning]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/invader-doctor-invader?highlight=primeval INVADER]</ref> However, one weakness is that their methods of engagement are like rituals: taking out their [[Taken Envoy]]s weakens them.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/sentry-kill-the-messengers?highlight=primeval Sentry]</ref> | |||
The object known as the [[Haul]], gifted to the Drifter by the [[Nine]], allows the Drifter to create "counterfeit" Taken, including "Primeval-likes" which behave similarly to real Primevals. Among these "Primeval-likes" are the [[Likeness of Nokris]] and [[Likeness of Oryx]]. | |||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Primevals are summoned once the mote bank is filled. In [[Gambit]]. they play like any other [[Taken]] [[Ultra]] of their kind, but with much more health than many other [[Ultra]] [[Taken]]. In order to kill a Primeval, players must kill [[Taken Wizard|Taken Wizards]] Envoys to begin weakening the Primeval and kill it. Killing Envoy [[Wizard]]s is the only way to begin gathering stacks of the ""Primevil Slayer" debuff OR begin a damage phase (exclusive to [[Gambit Prime]]). | |||
In [[Gambit Prime]], the Primeval has an invulnerability shield and in order to damage the Primeval, you must kill three Envoys scattered around the map to activate a well of [[Light]] and damage the Primeval. | |||
