"To Balwûr I entrust, with bitter tongue a terrible work / Daughter of Savathûn, untouched by time / Your death is hidden well / You will be Suzerain of Metabolisms / Gather up the Lie Shapes / Neither eat nor mock them, as you crave / Instead, learn to chew them into poisons"

— Oryx, the Taken King

Balwûr is a Hive Wizard and a daughter of Savathûn that appears as a boss in the Court of Oryx. She fills the area with a toxic substance that deals continuous damage to Guardians.^[1] .

Gameplay[edit]

Balwûr is one of the most dangerous bosses to be summoned on the Court. For one, her mere presence keeps the floor covered in the same toxic mist that the area is usually covered in. Her Darkness Blasts are also much harder to dodge than those of other Wizards. If she summons a poison cloud on a Guardian who is not standing in the safe zone under the arena, they will die in seconds as the combined debuffs will deal significant damage over time. If players want to create more safe zones, then they will have to kill Acolytes of Balwûr, Major Acolytes that are meant to prevent safe zones from being created. Once they are killed, players will then have more room to damage Balwûr. However, the safe zones won't last long, forcing Guardians to eventually retreat under the platform. Repeat until she is killed.
