==Gameplay== | |||
Witherhoard is a popular weapon in ''[[Destiny 2]]'', thanks to its versatility and ease of use. | |||
Due to its ability to deal damage over time, Witherhoard is a very strong pick for boss damage, allowing players to fire a single grenade and then deal high damage with their heavy weapons. The introduction of the perk [[lightgg:3078487919|Bait and Switch]] in ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' increased its popularity further, as the perk requires players to fire a single shot from each of their weapons in order to trigger a damage bonus to the weapon with the perk on, and with Witherhoard's ability to deal solid damage over time, it allows for high damage numbers in combination with this perk. | |||
Witherhoard is also a very popular weapon for add clear, due to dealing area of effect damage. The player is not required to hit a specific target in order to generate a blight in the area, so it is commonly placed in front of areas where low tier enemies can spawn from. | |||

'''LIKE A ONE-MAN PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY."—[[The Drifter|THE DRIFTER]]''' | |||
The Drifter slouches against the bulkhead of the [[The Derelict|Derelict]], a pile of [[Mote of Dark|Dark Motes]] scattered across the table in front of him. He fixes his gaze on the massive [[Titan (class)|Titan]], the sharpness in his eyes belying his casual posture. | |||
"I'm surprised you got the time to come around here, hassling me about these tiny Motes, [[Joxer]]. Seems like you got the big deal in orbit around [[Io]]. That's where the [[Vanguard]] oughta be." The Drifter's hand rests casually on the handle of a thick, breechloaded [[Grenade Launcher]]. "And ain't you Vanguard through and through these days?" | "I'm surprised you got the time to come around here, hassling me about these tiny Motes, [[Joxer]].

Joxer trundles his way to the back of the ship. As the airlock hisses open, Drifter calls out, "That's real nice armor, Joxer. Don't forget where you got it." | Joxer trundles his way to the back of the ship. As the airlock hisses open, Drifter calls out, "That's real nice armor, Joxer. Don't forget where you got it." | ||
==Trivia== | |||
*Witherhoard is one of only five weapons in Destiny 2 that deal damage over time. The other weapons are: [[Anarchy]], [[Le Monarque]], [[Osteo Striga]] and [[Thorn]]. It is the only special ammo weapon to deal damage over time. | |||
*Despite resembling the appearance of the [[Black Fleet]], Witherhoard is not a [[Weapons of Sorrow|Weapon of Sorrow]]. | |||
