The '''Dawnblade''' is a [[Solar]]-based [[Warlock]] subclass that is available in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.  
The '''Dawnblade''' is a [[Solar]]-based [[Warlock]] subclass that is available in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It grants the Warlock flight abilities in order to stay in the air longer, and access to a flaming sword that projects blasts of [[Solar]] energy for the [[Super]].<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-pc-reveal/ '''PC Gamer''' - ''Destiny 2 on PC: everything we know so far'']</ref>


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
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.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6i0sjm/so_i_played_d2_at_e3/ '''reddit''' - ''So I played D2 at E3...'']</ref> 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.
Unlike the [[Sunsinger]]s, Dawnblade Warlocks utilize the elemental heat of their [[Light]] to set themselves ablaze and take flight on burning wings of fire, allowing them to glide longer in the air while fashioning flaming swords to project blasts of [[Solar]] energy from their [[Super]].<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-pc-reveal/ '''PC Gamer''' - ''Destiny 2 on PC: everything we know so far'']</ref> In addition for specializing in airborne combat, the Dawnblade also use their Solar abilities to heal and empower their allies on the battlefield while scorching their enemies with explosive sun fire. Additional Supers include slamming their Daybreak swords to project an aura of enhanced healing and damage resistance for themselves and nearby fellow [[Guardians]] and casting a ball of Solar energy that mimics the effects of [[Radiance]] from the Sunsingers.
 
According to [[Ikora Rey]], Solar-wielding Warlocks all embody the metaphorical "Dawn" before the Darkness; being beacons of hope that light the way to embolden allies and friends alike.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], Playstation 4, Armor lore: [[Promethium Spur]]''</ref> Some of the earliest Dawnblades were revered religiously as patrons due to their immortal, martyr-like nature; one of them had an entire cult in dedication as "The Flame".<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Playstation 4, Armor lore: [[Dawn Chorus]]''</ref>

Two voices ring: “Sword.”<br>
Two voices ring: "Sword."


A blade appears in each outstretched hand. A pair of wings form on each Warlock's back. Two Warlocks take flight and vow to never again look down.

===Season of the Haunted===
Rise. Closer, closer to the sun.<br>
Your life shall be restored; the three shall be as one.
Dash. Swiftly, swiftly as the Light.<br>
A scorched earth lies below; foes flee from the fight.
An incandescent ray; behold the mighty way.
Rise. Closer, closer to the blaze.<br>
My wings shall never melt. They're already aflame.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Dawnblades are part of the new system for sub-class upgrades, where only one passive tree can be active at a time such as either "''Attunement Of Sky''" ,  "''Attunement Of Fire''", or "''Attunment Of Grace"'' , this carries over to the older subclasses that have been brought back as well.
