Aksor, Archon Priest has two main abilities consistent with most [[Fallen]] Bosses: Teleportation and | Aksor, Archon Priest has two main abilities consistent with most [[Fallen]] Bosses: Teleportation and an Ultra Smash. He often teleports between locations in order to get a clear shot at targets or disrupt a shooter's line of sight. He can cover a great distance with this ability. When combatants close within melee range, he employs a devastating area of effect stomp attack known as Ultra Smash. He uses this attack fairly often, as he normally attempts to corner Guardians into an area where they cannot run. For ranged combat, he uses a Shrapnel Launcher. He fires this weapon at an incredibly fast rate, comparable to the [[MIDA Multi-Tool]], allowing him to take down Guardians quickly so he can switch to his next target. | ||
