Arc Staff is a Super available to Hunters that have chosen the Arcstrider subclass. The Arcstrider summons a fighting-staff infused with Arc energy, which they use to hit enemies with.[1]

Gameplay

When Arc Staff becomes active, Arcstrider Hunters gain a polearm infused with Arc energy that can be used to slice enemies while rapidly progressing around the battlefield. If in the air, the Hunter can slam the staff down, causing area-of-effect (AOE) damage. Arc Staff gives the hunter increased movement speed as well as unlimited dodges. Doing a combination attack in the following order: Leftclick - Leftclick - Rightclick, will unleash a powerful shockwave from the hunter's palm, doing massive damage in front of them.

History

The Arcstrider subclass and Arc Staff super were created after Guardians harvested Light from the Traveler's shard in the European Dead Zone. After the Guardian reclaimed their light at the shard, the Arc Staff was used to defeat numerous Fallen, including Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed.

Trivia

  • The Super features the first physical staff that Guardians can wield in battle.
  • The ability is reminiscent of martial arts combatants.
  • It is the successor to the Hunter's previous Destiny 1 Arc super the Bladedancer
