"You are a Hobgoblin. A particle fountain. Your first purpose is to provide energy — to channel power where it is needed for thought. Your second purpose is to eliminate threats to that thought. [...] Your function makes you a priority target. You will be equipped for retaliation. Accept the changing blade."

— Grimoire description

The Taken Hobgoblin is a type of Taken Vex.

Gameplay

Taken Hobgoblins maintain the same role, being used as snipers by the forces of the Taken. They have lost their Stasis Shield, and in its place gained the Retaliation Swarm. This ability generates bolts that circle around the Hobgoblin, and fly towards the first enemy that hits them, moving incredibly fast, with tracking abilities, and dealing high Void damage. Taken Hobgoblins have one Retaliation Swarm, but if left alone, they will reactivate it. They are almost always equipped with are equipped with a Void Line Rifle, and usually positioned in elevated or far-away areas so as to more easily snipe at targets. Unlike their non-Taken counterparts, their weak point is the head like other enemies.
