==Gameplay== | |||
Val Talacanth appears in the [[Strike]] [[The Corrupted]]. They are important to the elevator encounter, where Talacanth will appear, alongside two [[Ransacker Phalanx]]es, when the elevator is sabotaged by a [[Taken Blight]]. The Val will be protected by a special Awoken Shield. This shield can only be broken by throwing an Awoken Relic at it, and will be detonated like an [[Absorption Shield]] if the relic was first thrown to another player. Talacanth will engage the players with its [[Projection Rifle]] and Axion Darts, which can quickly drain a player's health, and they should be wary to not get stuck in a position where their Phalanx backup can blow them away. | |||
In the [[Nightfall]] version of the strike, Val Talacanth is raised up to [[Ultra]] from their normal [[Major]] rank. Their Ransacker backup will also be raised, becoming [[Elite]] and gaining the same shield as their ward. | |||
