Yaviks, the Rider[2] is a Scorn Baron who leads a personal gang of Pike riders.
Biography
Yaviks is a very talented Rider, though many would want to discredit her because of her infamous actions, though she is known for making the nigh-impossible run through the Ragged-Valley, though not a literal valley in the traditional or poetic sense, it is a chaotic space of which multiple asteroids strung together, ever shifting and flowing that no one has mad it through, however, Yaviks managed to do it, though the reason for it is based on speculation, from running Ether, killing a Guardian and running from it's fireteam, or a challenge from a Fallen Captain or Fikrul, the Fanatic himself, for their relationship was "Complicated", regardless, with a fresh pike and at full throttle, she made it through, given credit by fellow Barons and even legendary Sparrow Racing Champion Marcus Ren after 5 tries and only the last successful run.[3] Riding atop a heavily upgraded Heavy Pike, Yaviks seeks to replace the hierarchy of the Fallen with anarchy throughout the Reef along with deadly toxics. She is responsible for the destruction of eight Awoken outposts, six Techeun temples, and hundreds of Awoken lives. However her days of riding was cut short when Cayde arrived and caught her after beating her in a race.[4] Locked deep within the Prison of Elders, she was freed around a year after the events of the Red War by Uldren Sov, and was present as he executed Cayde-6.[1] She is an Enforcer-class Baron.
Gameplay
Yaviks' Pike is a more heavily modified version of its standard counterpart. Its nose-mounted turrets now deal Void damage instead of Arc, and its shots travel in a slightly more winded trajectory in order to better track their targets; it also comes equipped with launchers that periodically fire a barrage of Scorn Rockets, which can seriously damage or even destroy a Guardian-controlled Pike. When boosting, Yaviks' Pike emits a flaming trail which burns everything in its wake, and an energy barrier appears on the front of the vehicle to both protect it from damage as well as knock enemy vehicles around by ramming into them. To deal the most damage and take the least damage in return, it is recommended to flank Yaviks from all possible angles.
Trivia
- In terms of appearances, Yaviks looks very much like a Scorn Stalker.
- When it comes to the Barons, Yaviks is the shortest; being only six feet tall.
