Strand



Strand is an elemental manifestation of the Darkness in the same way that Stasis is. It is a psychic energy that forms a matrix, an extra dimension that creates a web of "threads" that underlies reality and connects all things and minds in the universe. It will be introduced in the expansion Lightfall as the second of the Darkness-based subclasses.

The Weave
The Weave is an extra dimension of psychic energy underneath reality that is a web of "threads" that connects all living beings and all minds together. Using the power of Strand, The Guardian learns to perceive, pull at, and manipulate the strings of this web to pull forth matter, sever connections to enemies, or traverse the environment around them.

Subclasses
Berserker Titans use Strand to manifest large claws to spin, slash, and perform a powerful double-handed uppercut that creates lashes

Threadrunner Hunters use Strand to create a Rope Dart, allowing for quick, long-ranged straight jabs or a powerful, long-ranged, rapidly hitting, spinning attack.

Broodweaver Warlocks manipulate Strand using their minds to telekinetically pull matter out and form it into a barrage of projectiles that "unravel" upon impact.

Verbs
All Strand classes have the ability to create a grappling thread to swing over wide gaps or to quickly traverse the battlefield. It can also grab onto enemies to pull you closer to them, objects in the environment and even other Guardians.

Trivia

 * The Guardian is the first known user of Strand.
 * However, it is possible that the Hive and Eris Morn are able to see the "strings" of the Weave.
 * During Season of Arrivals, Drifter also mentioned in a conversation with Eris that after eating an Acolyte's eyes he was able to see "Lights. Like streaks— Lines. Through the world". Whether or not the strings described are truly from the Weave is yet to be confirmed.
 * During the Epilogue cutscene of Season of Plunder, the mention of ‘threads’, led to theories that Nezarec or his relics may have some sort of connection to Strand.
 * Before 1st November 2022, Broodweaver was known as Architect and Berserker was known as Tyrant.
