The unearthing of the [[Lunar Pyramid]] brought forth [[Nightmare]]s born of the traumatic memories of many Guardians, forced once again to confront their past enemies and shames. | |||
===Beyond Light=== | |||
When news of the power hidden on [[Europa]] spread, many Guardians came to the moon to harness the [[Darkness]]-born power of [[Stasis]]. This created fractures within the [[Vanguard]], with many arguing that there was no problem in wielding the Darkness as if it was Light, while others denounced this as foolishness. In the end, Darkness wielders among the Vanguard still exists, though many continue to hold that it is a corrupting power. | |||
===The Witch Queen=== | |||
Guardians were forced to confront their beliefs once more, when the [[Hive]] [[Lightbearer]]s of the [[Lucent Brood]], risen by Ghosts like Humanity, came from [[Savathûn's Throne World]] to harvest the Light of the City's protectors. Many Guardians died their final deaths against these new Lightbearers, but so did the [[Vanguard]] strike back, with the help of the [[Imperial Cabal]]'s light-suppressing technology. While the Lucent offensive was halted, their Lightbears continue to roam the Throne World, a reminder that Humanity may no longer be the chosen protectors of the [[Traveler]]. | |||

There are three classes of Guardian: [[Hunter]]s, [[Warlock]]s, and [[Titan (class)|Titan]]s. Hunters utilize swiftness, precision, and stealth to efficiently slay their enemies. Warlocks have the least amount of armor but the fastest regeneration and utilize a variety of projectile attacks in their abilities. Titans are able to both take and deal massive amounts of damage, prioritizing either one depending on their subclass. <ref>[http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelvenables/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-unveiled '''Forbes.com''' ''Bungie's Destiny Unveiled'']</ref> Titans emphasize armor and raw power, while warlocks emphasize the use of their magical abilities and agility.

While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact. Note that all three classes have access to the same weapons, and are not "locked in" to any particular role. However, each class can specialize in a particular direction depending on which subclass the player is using. Choices of subclass will determine what [[Super]] the player can use, as well as what bonuses and other lesser abilities they'll have access to. Subclasses can be leveled up and switched on the fly, allowing a single character a degree of flexibility for different combat scenarios. | While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact.

While players gain levels with experience, these levels are mainly for determining what gear and missions are unlocked. The player's actual strength is determined by [[Light]] levels. Light represents the average attack and defense values of the player's currently equipped weapons and armor; every mission has a recommended light level, so players who meet that recommendation are more likely to succeed said mission.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3hgllk/the_taken_king_reveal_teaser_destiny_year_two/ '''Reddit''': The Taken King Reveal Teaser - Destiny Year 2]</ref> Generally speaking, items with more [[rarity]] have a higher light level than others. | While players gain levels with experience, these levels are mainly for determining what gear and missions are unlocked.
