Blight is a clear indicator that Taken enemies are either nearby or about to be summoned. When this happens, the Blight will take its mist form. When the Taken appear, Blight may appear in its sphere form along with them, or the spheres will be around when a player enters the area. While its mist form is harmless, spheres of Blight generate a field within a short area around it. When players get inside that field, the debuff '''Shadow Touched''' is applied. This effect slows a player's movement speed, prevents sprinting and any double jump ability, and disables recovery. The only way to counter the debuff is to destroy the sphere with any weapon or ability equipped. Once that is done, all negated abilities return. At least one sphere appears in any activity where Taken are present, the exceptions being [[Patrol]] and the [[King's Fall]] raid. | Blight is a clear indicator that Taken enemies are either nearby or about to be summoned.

In the boss fight of the strike [[Blighted Chalice]], [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]] regularly summons Blight spheres along with waves of Taken close to each one. The spheres are spread out along the [[Shrine of Oryx]]. In addition to having Taken spawn close to each sphere, Malok's powers increase the Blight's range. Each sphere covers a large portion of space, allowing the Blight to cover the entire battlefield. Until a sphere is destroyed, the Shadow Touch effect will be active everywhere, making it difficult to move around. As mobility is needed to target Malok and avoid enemy attacks, destroying at least one | In the boss fight of the strike [[Blighted Chalice]], [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]] regularly summons Blight spheres along with waves of Taken close to each one.
