The '''Ruinous Effigy''' is an [[Exotic]] {{icon|Void}} [[Trace Rifle]] introduced in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during ''[[Season of Arrivals]]''. It was previously acquired through the "[[Growth]]" exotic [[quest]] and is now available at the [[Monument to Lost Lights]].


==Overview==
==Perks==
The origin of the weapon started with the the irregularity of [[The Drifter]]'s Prismatic Recaster, which mirrors the gravitational disturbances from the [[Cradle]] which attracted the attention of [[Savathûn's Hive]] for the[[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch Queen]] seeks to halt the Tower's progress and chase after the [[Pyramids]], [[Eris Morn]] requests the [[Guardian]]'s aid in clearing a path to the [[Tree of Silver Wings]]. After completing a run through the Interference mission, Eris would appear at the Cradle, she believes what the Darkness is saying this time around is that it offers a Gift in the form of a Branch from the Tree itself, which we as the Guardians would understand as a weapon, but seethed with unstable darkness. here is chatter about a substance of ''Calcified Light'' that appears on the surface of [[Mercury]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], [[Io]] and [[Mars]] as a result of the [[Darkness]] reshaping the worlds, also with her forces attacking during [[Contact]], she chains them to her will through spell binding rituals, the Guardians would destroy the [[Marionette]]s to have the Branch consume their essence and stabilize the thing with the Calcified fragments. Eris would coopt Savathun's rituals so the Branch would bind itself to the Guardian.
*Intrinsic: '''Transmutation''' - Final blows with this weapon collapse victims into Void Transmutation spheres.  


However, despite being tempered and bound from the offerings, the Branch still has a ravenous emptiness at it's core, it requires a means of which to feed it. Eris cannot deny the Pyramid's power encased within the branch, with Savathun's magic and the Calcified Light, it would be safely used to it's potential, Guardian would feed it with the [[Taken]], those who are [[Hive|linked]] to the Darkness through the [[Worm]] [[Vex|or]] [[Fallen|Desperate]] [[Cabal|Promises]], it is through their demise that the Guardians would craft a new weapon. After that, the Guardian would bring the progress to the [[Umbral Decoder]]  in an [[Engram]] form, gifted and gorged on [[Paracausality|Paracausal Power]],  the weapon is ready to be forged, the "'''Ruinous Effigy''', for it is a cold stinging emptiness on the touch, it would briefly subside as it works to find it's [[The Sword Logic|Final Shape]].

This weapon fires a [[Void]] beam. Enemies killed by this weapon turn into Transmutation Spheres.
===Transmutaion Spheres===
Transmutation Spheres have 3 abilities: Heavy Attack, Light Attack, and Guard/Drain. The Sphere has an ammo counter that goes down as time passes. The Heavy attack consumes all ammo and does devastating damage to the area around it. A heavy attack at full ammo will do the same damage as a heavy attack at 5 ammo.  The Light attack consumes 1 ammo and does a small amount of damage. The Drain/Guard ability slowly damages enemies within the vicinity and regenerates the user's health. It also provides a bonus to damages resistance. This ability slowly consumes ammo and can be used past 1 ammo, but in doing so damages the player.

The [[Exotic Catalyst]] has a chance to drop from any enemy killed with a Transmutation sphere. To progress the catalyst, players are required to have 700 kills with either Ruinous Effigy or its Transmutation spheres; though at one point players could increase progress by destroying '''Eyes of Savathûn''' located across the system with the weapon during ''Season of Arrivals''. Once completed, the catalyst unlocks the following perk:
*Masterwork Objective: Defeat 5,000 enemies with this weapon. Destroying Savathun's Eyes with this weapon gives bonus progress.
*Exotic Trait: '''Deconstruction''' - This weapon deals increased damage against targets damaged by Transmutation spheres.
*Enemies damaged by Transmutation Spheres take more damage from the Ruinous Effigy.

Lore[edit]

Destiny-GhostConstruct.png
"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."
The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

"FROM THE MANY WINGS OF RUIN BLOWS A WIND THAT WILL RESHAPE THIS DEAD WORLD."

"That's not right."

Banshee-44 taps a spectral analyzer against the Effigy's frame.

Commander Zavala turns, closes the lid on a small golden weapon case, and walks to Banshee's side. "What have you found?"

"Well, it's not petrified wood, but it is organic."

"That's troubling," Zavala says and moves to run his fingers over the weapon's frame.

"I wouldn't."

A shallow cold saps the heat from Zavala's fingertips; he pulls back. "This wasn't in Eris's report." His voice is thin and stark with disappointment, as if spoken through dead winter air.

"Guardian doesn't seem to notice either." Banshee clinks the analyzer into a tool tray. "Leeches a bit, kicks out Void. Sig's hazy, though. Wild."

Long quiet overtakes the workshop, imposed by shuttered windows and empty streets below.

They stand over the weapon. Banshee stares down and nods along to the ambient static

"What were you saying?" The weapon master's voice is framed in apology.

Zavala puts a hand on Banshee's shoulder, smiles, and gestures to the weapon. "Equipment that uses the wielder's Light is not unprecedented."

"It doesn't use it; it eats it. Thing's got an appetite. Works almost like, uh… a converter."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Nah. Guardian doesn't even seem to notice. I'll get you a write-up."

Trivia[edit]

  • During the Quest to build the Ruinous Effigy, a transmission excerpt from Eris states that the Touch of Malice was used as a blueprint for the Ruinous Effigy. She comments that, while the Touch of Malice was "crude, vicious", the Ruinous Effigy "is a thing of beauty".
