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

At the onset of the Red War, the Arc Staff were first revealed to the Guardian in a vision from the Traveler; beckoning them to its broken shard in the European Dead Zone. Once the Guardian reclaimed their Light at the shard, they had also access to the Arcstrider subclass and its Arc Staff super ability; which was used to defeat numerous local Fallen including Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed. Many other Lightless Guardians also journeyed to receive the Arcstrider subclass after harvesting Light from the shard as well.

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
