"Dawn comes on swift wings"
— Dawnblade Description
A Dawnblade

The Dawnblade is a Solar-based Warlock subclass that is available in Destiny 2. It grants the Warlock flight abilities, and access to a flaming sword that projects blasts of Solar energy.[1]

Gameplay

The sword acts like a grenade when slashed and the player character can hover or walk when the Super is active. A total of eight swords can be thrown.[2] The Attunement of Flame (aka bottom tree) subclass has the perk Everlasting Fire, which refunds super energy on kills, allowing more than eight swords to be thrown.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
