- — Grimoire Description
Archons are high priests of the Fallen, who act as the intermediary between the Kell and the Prime Servitor of each House.[1]
Overview
If an Archon falls, that house's Prime Servitor becomes vulnerable to attack.[2] Archons lead a House's machine-worshiping priesthood, which includes other, subservient priests and a sect of Splicers.
Gameplay
Archons fight just like Captains, including their Blink ability and ranged weapon (i.e. Shrapnel Launcher), except they also have an "Ultra Smash" ability that they use against Guardians who get too close. This attack can be enough to kill a Guardian, or knock them back and severely damage them. [3] In addition, they have a far higher damage tolerance than normal Captains do.
