The '''Projection of | The '''Projection of Savathûn''' is a [[Light]] construct of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]. | ||

The Projection of | The Projection of Savathûn was first encountered by [[The Guardian]] after entering the [[Court of Savathûn]] for the first time. The Guardian fought it in the Witch Queen's stead, only to be trapped by her and two more Projections soon after and banished from the Witch Queen's realm.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Mission]]: [[The Arrival]]''</ref> | ||

The Projection of | The Projection of Savathûn looks exactly like Savathûn herself, save for a Light sheen distorting her body. It is capable of using many of the same abilities, and its destruction is often key to progressing an encounter. Projections are always airborne, higher than the height kept by a [[Wizard]], meaning that ground-bound attacks will be useless against them and [[Sword]]s will be at a severe disadvantage. Projections will hover around an area, bombarding players with a barrage of Vicious Light and other powers. When approached, they will launch a Nova Warp around themselves, which leaves a Vortex Nova Bomb on the ground below them. They will often be accompanied by numerous Hive, and sometimes even with up to two more Projections. | ||

For example, the one at the beginning of [[Preservation]] will only fire Stormtrance from afar, and the middle one in The Ritual will only use Blade Barrage.

For example, the one at the beginning of [[Preservation]] will only fire Stormtrance from afar, and the middle one in The Ritual will only use Blade Barrage. They also seem capable of being stunned, which will cause them to briefly fly away before reappearing. They are immense targets, though fast, and rockets or other explosives will easily hit them. When they are destroyed, they let out a scream as they fade, leaving behind swirling Light particles that linger briefly. | ||

*[[ | *The nature of Savathûn's projections are very similar to both the [[Echo of Oryx| Echoes of Oryx]] created by her brother, and the Reflections crafted by the Warlock [[Osiris]], whom she posed as for some time. Notably, all three of these duplicates seem to possess a limited degree of independence from their owners, though remain linked in other ways. | ||
