Various [[Champion]]s will also spawn throughout the course of Contact. Champions will be from the attacking enemy [[Races|race]]. Taken Champions may also appear in between waves when Taken blockers are summoned. The recommended option for defeating Champions is utilizing a weapon or ability given anti-Champion capabilities through mods from the [[Artifact|Seasonal Artifact]]. However, it is possible to use brute force to kill these Champions without using anti-Champion mods, but with some difficulty. If using brute force, [[Falling Guillotine]] is the recommended weapon.

|content1=
::[[The Guardian]] activates the [[Bank (Gambit)|Bank]]
*'''[[Eris Morn]]''': You are our hand in the field, Guardian. Charge the [[Seed of Silver Wings|Seed]] so that we may interpret the [[Darkness]]' intentions.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The Seed's corruption is a necessity, and a deed better left in noble hands. See it done.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': First plundered by [[Cabal]], now beset with the rot of Darkness. Even the purity once endowed by [[the Traveler]] wavers.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Do you sense the gravity here, Guardian? A sullen pit that sinks to spoil. The [[Pyramid]]s bring entropy, and we will restore order.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The great game is in motion. Charge the Seed so that we may commune once more with the Dark.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The Pyramid reaches out. Contain it!
::Or
*'''[[The Drifter|Drifter]]''': Time to be good guys. Dark up, kick in some teeth, and bank those [[Mote of Dark|Motes]]! WOO!
::Or
*'''[[The Ghost|Ghost]]''': I know you're curious to hear what [[The Witness|they]] have to say… but remember what they've done. Be careful.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': A whole lotta incoming. Hey, Moondust, you got anything for this?
*'''Eris Morn''': They seek strength, as do we. Though they lack the constitution to control it.
*'''Drifter''': Constitution. I like the way you talk.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': [[Vanguard]] tussled with this on the [[Moon]], right? Should be easy.
*'''Eris Morn''': This is different. The [[Nightmare]]s were simply an interpretation. What we have before us is the source, directly viewed, and not to be underestimated.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Ah, that Seed's bringing in all sorts of funk. Bogeys. Inbound!
*'''Eris Morn''': We cannot lose this position, Guardian. [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]'s clutches tighten if we hesitate.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank down! Ring that dinner bell. Stretch. Soup's on.
*'''Eris Morn''': [[Io]] is a sacred place, not a slop hall for haggard buzzards.
*'''Drifter''': World's just bones on bones. Been like that forever.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Pyramid's going nuts. This is the hotspot, that's for sure. Bank down!
*'''Eris Morn''': Guardian, you are not alone. Our foes seek to claim power from the Darkness.
*'''Drifter''': Bring 'em down and bank those Motes!
*'''Eris Morn''': Yes. Contain the spread of this infestation, and we will utilise what we capture to decipher the Pyramid's intentions.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Showtime! Signals going haywire all around ya.
*'''Eris Morn''': The Darkness tempts our aggressors with promises of power. Are they fodder? An offering to our cause?
*'''Drifter''': Never seen a free meal, and I've been around a long time.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': That Pyramid cuts a sinister figure. Too bad your [[Golden Age]] basket case couldn't pull the trigger.
*'''Eris Morn''': The [[Warmind]]'s fall was unsettling. The Darkness would not have approached had [[Rasputin]] been a credible threat. We were fools to expect anything less.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Your [[Zavala|big blue boss]] looks rattled, brother/sister. I'd be worried.
*'''Eris Morn''': Commander Zavala has far more to orchestrate than a back-alley brawl, rat.
*'''Drifter''': All right. All right. Just… looking out.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank incoming! [shivers] I'm starting to catch a streak of that hero feel.
*'''Eris Morn''': Oh? Is that why you're here? Some noble vocation?
*'''Drifter''': Nah. Just the show, Moondust.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': You know the rub. Bank those motes… and snag one for ol' Drifter.
*'''Eris Morn''': Absolutely not.
*'''Drifter''': All right. Your show, Moondust.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': So this is the plan. All right… bank down.
*'''Eris Morn''': If we tap this font of power, others will come to challenge. Collect whatever Darkness they hold.
*'''Drifter''': Hey, Hero. Ready for a gunfight?
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Mini-bank in transit. You're up, brother/sister.
*'''Eris Morn''': Staunch the flow of Darkness, Guardian.
*'''Drifter''': And keep 'em off my bank. Paint's barely dry.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank firing in. Kid, you're on deck.
*'''Eris Morn''': Guardian. Our foes mean to interrupt our work. Cut them down.
*'''Drifter''': Ooh, Moondust, you've got a mean streak. [laughs]
::Or
*'''Drifter''': What do you think your competitors want with all this Darkness?
*'''Eris''': Power. One last gasp before they fade into obscurity.
*'''Drifter''': Pretty grim.
*'''Eris Morn''': Invaders, typically, are not afforded pity.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Savathûn seeks to disrupt. Work with purpose, before there is nothing left to salvage.
*'''Drifter''': Salvage ain't so bad.
*'''Eris Morn''': There's still space on the outskirts, Drifter, should you wish to observe rather than act.
*'''Drifter''': Maybe I'll save you a spot.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Guardian—
*'''Drifter''': [[Transmat]] firing! Watch your limbs.
*'''Eris Morn''': Good Luck.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The denizens of this world swarm to stake their claims. Show them what comes from their recklessness.
*'''Drifter''': Lady… you are freaky. Drifter like.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': You did well to find this point of infestation.
*'''Drifter''': Yeah, but something's not right here.
*'''Eris Morn''': The Darkness changes its environment as the Traveler did.
*'''Drifter''': Sounds peachy.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Our attempt at alignment has drawn attention.
*'''Ghost''': Understood, Eris. Let's charge up the seed and get out of here.
::Or
*'''Ghost''': Scans are all over the place. I can't get a lock on anything.
*'''Eris Morn''': Savathûn obscures our vision. Fear not the Witch Queen's tricks, Little Light.
::Or
*'''Ghost''': I envy you, Eris. You don't have to feel the Darkness tugging at your core.
*'''Eris Morn''': I feel their hooks… at every moment, Little Light.
::Or
*'''Zavala''': Guardian, we are the final line that halts a second [[Collapse]]. Do not falter.
*'''Drifter''': You weren't around for the [[Dark Age]]s, were you?
*'''Zavala''': I've lived long enough to see what happens when good people fail.
|title2=Titan
|content2=::The Guardian activates the Bank
*'''Drifter''': Is their message a warning? A trick? We can't know until we hear their words for ourselves.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': I cannot shake the troubling notion that we are feeding a ritual. It serves our purpose, yes — but what other schemes advance by our hand? Perhaps if we had listened sooner, on the Moon, we would have been more prepared.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': We never wanted this fight, Guardian. But it is one we cannot run from… no matter what the Drifter says.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Your position will come under fire soon, Guardian. Do your duty.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Our foes are infested with Darkness. Take it from them!
::Or
*'''Zavala''': Operational overwatch established. Light guide you, Guardian. The Drifter is useful, but the cost of dealing with him does not end with Glimmer.  Whatever scam he's running… be wary.
::Or
*'''Zavala''': Energy output has increased from the Pyramids, Guardian. Time is not on our side.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Darkness building up right on your head. Bank down. Expect friends real soon.
*'''Eris Morn''': Harvest their Dark remnants for the Seed. Bring clarity to our cause.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank firing in. Signal tracking. Kid, you're on deck.
*'''Eris Morn''': Harvest all the Darkness you can muster. Now is not the time for mercy.
*'''Drifter''': Ooh, Moondust, you've got a mean streak.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Mini-bank en route. Put you mean faces on.
*'''Eris Morn''': The Darkness presents us an opportunity to further understand its intentions. Seize it.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': I have heard Titan used to be the jewel of Saturn. People would stare at the planet's rings all night and be filled with awe.
*'''Drifter''': Eh, until they got bored. Then they'd move on to the next jewel.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': People used to tell stories about this place during the Dark Age. Treasures buried in the methane. Stuff like that.
*'''Eris Morn''': Did the Drifter ever chase any of these stories?
*'''Drifter''': No. Heard a big crew lost twenty wave crawlers out there… and it wasn't from no storm.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': This place is a dump.
*'''Eris Morn''': It’s an important strategic position in the system.
*'''Drifter''': It smells, too.
*'''Eris Morn''': You're not even there.
*'''Drifter''': I can still smell it.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Eh, how do they know every damn time? You got incoming left, right, and center.
*'''Eris Morn''': Like Prometheus offering the flame. They cannot turn it away.
*'''Drifter''': Guardians come up with the craziest names.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': How many Pyramids drift out beyond our sight?
*'''Drifter''': What's here is enough to make a statement… there have to be more.
*'''Eris Morn''': Rasputin would agree, so I've heard.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The Darkness would not speak without a reason. We must listen.
*'''Ghost''': It lies. That's what it does.
*'''Eris Morn''': I share your apprehension, Little Light. We will proceed with caution.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank down. So. Wild card has a chip on her shoulder… can be tough to manage.
*'''Ghost''': Eris survived the Hellmouth. Lightless. She doesn't need management.
*'''Drifter''': Yeah. And who got her there?
::Or
*'''Ghost''': I know we need his tech, but please tell me you don't trust the Drifter.
*'''Drifter''': Talking behind my back? Here, I thought Ghosts were honest and noble.
*'''Ghost''': Ghosts talk. We know who you are.
*'''Drifter''': Rumours. Like an ace up their sleeve. Trust, right, Hero?
::Or
*'''Ghost''': This isn't my favorite idea.
*'''Drifter''': You don't get a vote, partner.
*'''Ghost''': I know what you do to your partners.
::Or
*'''Ghost''': This isn't my favorite idea.
*'''Drifter''': You don't get a vote, partner.
*'''Ghost''': I already have a partner.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Watch your back, Hero. Ain't nobody else doing it for you.
*'''Eris Morn''': I will.
*'''Ghost''': Me too.
*'''Drifter''': Words, words, words. Let's see who's there when things get really bad.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Command weighs heavy on Zavala. He presents a stoic image, but his mind…
*'''Ghost''': No one ever stood against the Darkness and won, Eris.
*'''Eris Morn''': Yes. The city requires his attention. We must be his strength in the field.
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': The Golden Age harbored powers beyond imagination, and yet they fell to the Collapse.
*'''Zavala''': When the Collapse struck, they didn't have Guardians.
*'''Eris Morn''': I agree. Though I fear it is not our might that will avert this crisis, Commander.

===Taken Blockers===
::Taken Blockers arrive.
*'''Drifter''': Hey, those aren't my Taken. Get them off my gear!
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank offline! Taken signatures all over it.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Bank's cut off, partner. Sweep it clean!
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Hey… HEY! Taken stooges are messing up my bank!
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Taken blocking my gear! Clear 'em out!
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Pawns of the Witch Queen! Protect the contraption!
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Taken scouts. Wipe them away before Savathûn takes notice!
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Savathûn's pets swarm our containment unit!
::Or
*'''Eris Morn''': Taken! Destroy them, Guardian.
::Or
*'''Ghost''': Sterile neutrinos? Taken! On the bank!
::Or
*'''Ghost''': Picking up Taken signals. They're on the bank!
===Heroic Event Activated===
*'''Drifter''': Hey, hotshot. Big nasty Taken headed your way. Keep that bank in one piece.
::Or
*'''Drifter''': Eh, something's jamming the signal. Ooh, you've got company. Slug it out a bit. Gonna get a frickin' wrench.
