"Darkblades" are a formidable variant of Knight.

Overview

Darkblades were first introduced in Destiny in the form of Alak-Hul, the Darkblade, a unique Strike boss fought at the end of The Sunless Cell. Weaker versions of Alak-Hul were carried over into Destiny 2 as mini-bosses, such as the Abyssal Champion. They are visually identical to Alak-Hul, except for a glowing line on their helmets similar to those of Destiny 2's Knights, and mechanically similar.

Gameplay

Darkblades will advance slowly towards the player and attempt to crush them with their axes. They are easily outrun and evaded, but their axes do tremendous splash damage.
