Working as an expert of munitions and weapon crafting, Elykris was infamous for her raids on ships and settlements near [[Mars]]. She also had a role in the Siege of Arran, where she hijacked the ship and stole it's contents. | ||

Elykris has shown herself to be quite avaricious, as whatever technology and weaponry she doesn't give to the Scorn, she keeps for herself. She seems to share Fikrul's sentiment on the Scorn being a family, or at least a close-knit brotherhood, as her lines about the Barons always standing together and the Scorn standing together forever are similar to some of Fikrul's own dialogue on the Scorn. She also seems to be wrathful, as she venomously calls Cayde-6's death "pathetic" and continuously growls at the Guardian about how their attempt at revenge is futile. | Elykris has shown herself to be quite avaricious, as whatever technology and weaponry she doesn't give to the Scorn, she keeps for herself.

Elykris possesses multiple weapons in her arsenal, all of which have devastating consequences. In hand, she wields a [[Scorn Cannon]], which fires explosive molten [[Ether]] fumes from long range, constantly blasting the player down and pounding away at their shield. She will also occasionally crouch and use her back-mounted munitions device to fire Scorn Rockets one after another, each of which deals high blast damage; every time her health reaches a certain threshold, she will duck down on the ground, surround herself with [[Void]] energy to negate all incoming damage akin to an Ether-Shield, and rapidly fire [[Solar]] orbital strikes from her munitions device before | |||
Elykris possesses multiple weapons in her arsenal, all of which have devastating consequences.

This means the player has to contend with both direct combat and evasion simultaneously. Additionally, there are poisonous liquid pools littered throughout the arena, which can prove to be a deadly environmental hazard. The arena itself, however, is fairly large, and thus it is easy to space oneself from Elykris in order to safely and reliably damage her. Her movement is rather slow, so the player can continue to stay at an extended range for an easier engagement. | |||
