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 - Deflective Parry - Sword Guard has maximized resistance and increased charge rate, but greatly lowered endurance and efficiency. Grants the ability to deflect projectiles and rewards perfect parrying with a deadly counterattack.


 * Column 3: Trait - Coming Storm - Consecutive rapid sword strikes increases this weapon's damage output. Non-lethal attacks embed ethereal swords into the target that absorbs damage from all sources and releases it after a given time (around 5 seconds). Detonated swords create a chain reaction that causes all embedded swords to detonated consecutively.


 * 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 (From 10% base to 15% w/ catalyst).

Exotic Catalyst

Enemies killed by any of the combos create Chronological Zones that stop all enemies and deals damage over time 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)

 * 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.
