Brakion, Genesis Mind

"This is about simple vengeance assistant. Brakion, the Genesis Mind, converted my arm and changed my life forever. I want it dead."

- Asher Mir

Brakion, Genesis Mind is an Ultra Hobgoblin that serves as the main boss of The Pyramidion Strike in Destiny 2.

Gameplay
Brakion will enter the arena when the plate in front of it is stood on for long enough. It will open fire with its Line Rifle and occasionally follow up with Void flame projectiles that create a circle of purple fire upon impact. After its health has been reduced by a third, it will teleport to another location; it will be immune while teleporting. It will then surround itself in a Vex barrier that can only be disabled by capturing a Sync Plate. Other Vex will defend this plate, so killing them all is advised. Brakion is able to shoot through this barrier. After captuing this Sync Plate, Brakion will resume it attack, but will teleport to another corner and put up another Vex Barrier shortly after. Once the barriers have been disabled, Brakion will assault the player directly, and will eventually enter berserk mode. It will remain in this state until it is defeated.
