These brave, or desperate, Fallen warriors are armed with [[Arc Spear]]s, which they are sent to use in melee despite their frailty. Other than their weapon, they can be distinguished from [[Dreg]]s by their enclosed helmets. The rank seemingly existed at the time of the [[Dark Age]], though it fell out of use before being restored with the rise of the [[House of Dusk]]. After their reappearance, they were employed by the other Fallen groups of the Solar System. | ||

They rush into combat brandishing their spears, attempting to both slice and electrocute their targets. They can do many attacks with these weapons, with simple stabs, spinning slices and rushing overhead strikes. Their length also gives them a longer reach than other melee units. However, their attacks have a long wind up time and they are very weak. As cannon fodder combatants, they can often die to a single melee attack. | ||
