Draksis is the Kell of the House of Winter. Draksis was a prime target for the Vanguards. After raiding jumpship reclamation convoys, Cayde-6 upped the bounty on him, alerting Guardians to look for the Kell.

Gameplay

Draksis is the primary target in the Story mission, "Scourge of Winter." When you reach him he will be standing by his throne. Upon entering the room, he will teleport away and then begin to engage the player. He is armed with a shrapnel launcher for ranged combat. Draksis can also teleport across the room to evade enemy fire. As with any Ultra, melee combat is a bad idea, because Draksis will perform a ground pound that send the player flying into a wall, causing them to die of impact with a hard surface. He will be assisted by all of the usual Fallen except Servitors and the occasional team of Kell's Guard. Packing a high blast radius rocket launcher is recommended because it can reliably cover a wide area even if it misses and can deal heavy damage to Draksis on a direct hit and will stagger him, allowing the player an opportunity for follow-up shots.

Trivia

• Despite being the Kell of the House of Winter, Draksis wears armor with House of Devils colors and iconography.
