The '''Taken Phalanx''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Cabal]] which can fire [[Arc]] blasts from their shields that can send [[Guardian]]s flying. They have Arc [[Slug Rifle]]s as their primary armament, although it fires much faster compared to its Solar Cabal counterpart.

==Gameplay==
Taken Phalanxes retain their shield, which they still use to protect themselves. They have however gained the ability to fire [[Arc]] blasts from their shields that can send targets flying. This can be extremely deadly, especially since they are often positioned near cliffs. They behave more offensively than their base counterparts, often charging into battle to use their shield blast. Their main weapon is an Arc [[Slug Rifle]]s with a much faster rate of fire compared to its Solar Cabal counterpart. However, their arsenal is limited, especially compared to the ''[[Destiny 2]]'' incarnation of Phalanxes, remaining the same in appearance and abilities, which can make them predictable.

"You are a Phalanx. One shield in the stalwart Cabal line. Advancing patiently into the storm. [...] Your shield must be a weapon. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [retaliation]. Take up the knife. Tear a hole. Take your new shape."
Grimoire description

The Taken Phalanx is a type of Taken Cabal.

Gameplay[edit]

Taken Phalanxes retain their shield, which they still use to protect themselves. They have however gained the ability to fire Arc blasts from their shields that can send targets flying. This can be extremely deadly, especially since they are often positioned near cliffs. They behave more offensively than their base counterparts, often charging into battle to use their shield blast. Their main weapon is an Arc Slug Rifles with a much faster rate of fire compared to its Solar Cabal counterpart. However, their arsenal is limited, especially compared to the Destiny 2 incarnation of Phalanxes, remaining the same in appearance and abilities, which can make them predictable.
