==Overview== | |||
The Hunter Arcstriders were known to exist since the time of the [[Dark Age]]; the first having learned to discipline themselves to flow Light through their bodies and shape lightning in the form of a Bō staff. Similar to the [[Bladedancer]]s, the Arcstriders fight in close melee akin to a "graceful warrior monk"; utilizing combos blows that blind or jolt enemies while refreshing their dodges and melee abilities and can [[Blink]] in and out of short distances. Wielding the signature [[Arc Staff]], the Hunter can chain kills with electrified swings and deflect projectiles while guarding, or hurl their staff (either at an enemy or the ground) like a spear to emit a damaging burst on impact before a giant bolt of lightning strikes the staff and overcharges it, sending out arcs of lightning to damage any nearby enemies.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/51678 Bring the Thunder: Inside Arc 3.0]</ref> The Arcstrider is also capable of throwing an electrified Arc knife that blinks them to its last known location, ambushing all nearby enemies.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhqJY3HgcK8 Destiny 2: The Final Shape | Storm's Edge Preview - New Hunter Super]</ref> | |||

Every time we get together for a mission, we pass it around like a current running between us: anticipation. | I get it, why we can't go a single mission without talking philosophy.
