The Rifleman was once blind when he was scorned by his House, he then was implanted with a cybernetic eye that was linked to a tracking system in his [[Scorn Crossbow|Scorn Launcher]], he is likened to infamous Fallen assimilated to machinery such as [[Taniks, the Scarred]] and [[House of Devils]] [[Splicers]] with [[SIVA]] | The Rifleman was once blind when he was scorned by his House, he then was implanted with a cybernetic eye that was linked to a tracking system in his [[Scorn Crossbow|Scorn Launcher]], he is likened to infamous Fallen assimilated to machinery such as [[Taniks, the Scarred]] and [[House of Devils]] [[Splicers]] with [[SIVA]]. | ||
He lurks in the [[Hellrise Canyon]], with his all-seeing eye and being a crack-shot where he lures unwary travelers into an impenetrable security network before eliminating them from afar, removing any threats such as [[Corsair]]s which let his fellow Barons plan their next move.<ref name="GIBarons"/> He is a [[Raider]] class Scorn leader. He was credited for the deaths of many palace guards during the [[House of Wolves]] uprising.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/a-blind-eye-toward-tomorrow?highlight=Pirrha A Blind Eye Toward's Tomorrow]</ref> Pirrha Responsible for the deaths of [[Awoken]] [[Paladin]]s [[Tellos Cir]], [[Loris Pol]], and [[Hollis Eso]] at Pallas Falls, Pirrha is also known to have destroyed multiple [[Ghosts]]. | |||
After being imprisoned deep within the [[Prison of Elders]] alongside his fellow Barons, he was freed by [[Uldren Sov]] and was later present at the murder of [[Cayde-6]], where he shot the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard|Vanguard's]] Ghost [[Sundance]] with a specialized Devourer Bullet which operates on an ontological level, akin to the [[Weapons of Sorrow]].<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/records/the-murder-of-cayde-6?highlight=bullet The Murder of Cayde-6]</ref> He would return to Hellrise Canyon to where he fought the Guardian one more time before his death. | |||

Pirrha's main weapon of choice is a [[Scorn Crossbow]], which fires powerful charged [[Void]] arrows from long range that can easily hit their mark; their high damage can crack a [[Guardian]]'s shield in an instant. When faced at closer ranges, he will teleport or smoke dash to evade and flank the player, and if cornered, he will stomp the ground to knock them back. His most devastating ability, however, is the use of solid-light decoys. The decoys can easily distract unprepared Guardians and overwhelm them with constant crossbow fire, although they are easily destroyed. If his use of numerous simultaneous decoys proves bothersome, one can deactivate them en masse with a few shots each from a high ammo capacity weapon capable of automatic fire, before focusing their firepower on Pirrha himself. | |||

In the adventure where the Guardian chases and eventually defeats the Rifleman in Hellrise Canyon, the Guardian must damage the Rifleman or shoot his decoys first in [[Sorik's Cut]] and then [[Jetsam of Saturn]] before entering Hellrise Canyon to defeat the Rifleman. | In the adventure where the Guardian chases and eventually defeats the Rifleman in Hellrise Canyon, the Guardian must damage the Rifleman or shoot his decoys first in [[Sorik's Cut]] and then [[Jetsam of Saturn]] before entering Hellrise Canyon to defeat the Rifleman. | ||

By using Celestial Nighthawk, hunters can defeat the Rifleman in the final encounter in one shot. Outside the tunnel of the final boss encounter area, the player should save up and kill scorn with precision hits to stack Knock 'em Down before heading inside to face the Rifleman. After entering the center of the final encounter, two decoys of the Rifleman can provide an additional 5 seconds each of Knock 'em Down. With 20 seconds remaining, the player can cast Celestial Nighthawk to shoot the Rifleman in one shot. Be aware that while the true Rifleman spawns immediately where the second decoy is killed, the Rifleman can still choose to disappear to a nearby location to the left before taking damage. | By using Celestial Nighthawk, hunters can defeat the Rifleman in the final encounter in one shot.
