| | The '''Taken Captain''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Fallen]] that sends out moving balls of Darkness to blind Guardians. They use either an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] or Arc [[Shock Blade]]s, and are [[Solar]]-shielded. They can quickly teleport to evade incoming attacks much like their non-Taken counterpart. |

| Taken Captains either an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] or Arc [[Shock Blade]]s, and are their shields have changes to [[Solar]]. They can quickly teleport to evade incoming attacks much like their non-Taken counterpart. The main ability Captains gained upon being taken is the Darkness Bolt, a blinding sphere of Darkness. It has several unique properties: fast velocity, infinite range, can travel through walls, uses a large hitbox, can penetrate through multiple targets, hit the same target twice, cause blindness and deafness, and can suppress a Guardian's [[Super]], even when the Super meter is fully charged. To make sure that they have plenty of opportunities to use this attack, a Taken Captain will rapidly teleport to another position. They are a difficult foe to dispose of, especially if allowed to stay in the backlines. However, their arsenal is much diminished compared to their regular counterparts, which can make them predictable.

| ==Known Taken Captains==
| | A Taken Captain's Darkness Bolt has several unique properties: fast velocity, infinite range, can travel through walls, uses a large hitbox, can penetrate through multiple targets, hits the same target twice, causes blindness and deafness, and can suppress a Guardian's [[Super]], even when the Super meter is fully charged. To make sure that they have plenty of opportunities to use this attack, a Taken Captain will rapidly teleport to another position. This makes them all the more difficult to dispose of. |

| *Among the Destiny community the Taken Captain has become infamous for its rapid teleportation and proliferate usage of Darkness Bolts. This is especially true in missions like [[Paradox]] and [[Lost to Light]] where the player has to fight them in close quarters. The [[Prison of Elders]] boss [[Keksis, the Betrayed]] is also reviled for continuously spamming these abilities. | | *Among the Destiny community the Taken Captain has become infamous for its rapid teleportation and proliferate usage of Darkness Bolts.

| *Following the release of [[Beyond Light]], Shrapnel Launchers wielded by giant Taken Captains (like the [[Blightmaker]]) began to have [[Solar]] Damage as opposed the usual [[Arc]] damage they were accustomed to. It is unknown if this is a developer's oversight.
