{{Article quote|Spread your wings and set the sky ablaze.|Dawnblade Description}}
The '''Dawnblade''' is a [[Solar]]-based [[Warlock]] subclass that is available in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. It grants the Warlock flight abilities in order to stay in the air longer, and access to a flaming sword that projects blasts of [[Solar]] energy for the [[Super]].<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-pc-reveal/ '''PC Gamer''' - ''Destiny 2 on PC: everything we know so far'']</ref>

==Gameplay==
==Overview==
The sword acts like a grenade when slashed and the player character can hover or walk when the Super is active. A total of eight swords can be thrown.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6i0sjm/so_i_played_d2_at_e3/ '''reddit''' - ''So I played D2 at E3...'']</ref> The Attunement of Flame (aka bottom tree) subclass has the perk Everlasting Fire, which refunds super energy on kills, allowing more than eight swords to be thrown.
Unlike the [[Sunsinger]]s, Dawnblade Warlocks utilize the elemental heat of their [[Light]] to set themselves ablaze and take flight on burning wings of fire, allowing them to glide longer in the air while fashioning flaming swords to project blasts of [[Solar]] energy from their [[Super]].<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-pc-reveal/ '''PC Gamer''' - ''Destiny 2 on PC: everything we know so far'']</ref> In addition for specializing in airborne combat, the Dawnblade also use their Solar abilities to heal and empower their allies on the battlefield while scorching their enemies with explosive sun fire. Additional Supers include slamming their Daybreak swords to project an aura of enhanced healing and damage resistance for themselves and nearby fellow [[Guardians]] and casting a ball of Solar energy that mimics the effects of [[Radiance]] from the Sunsingers.
 
According to [[Ikora Rey]], Solar-wielding Warlocks all embody the metaphorical "Dawn" before the Darkness; being beacons of hope that light the way to embolden allies and friends alike.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], Armor lore: [[Promethium Spur]]''</ref> Some of the earliest Dawnblades were revered religiously as patrons due to their immortal, martyr-like nature; one of them had an entire cult in dedication as "The Flame".<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Armor lore: [[Dawn Chorus]]''</ref>

Warlock Dawnblade casting Daybreak
“ Spread your wings and set the sky ablaze. ”

The Dawnblade is a Solar-based Warlock subclass that is available in Destiny 2.

Overview

Unlike the Sunsingers, Dawnblade Warlocks utilize the elemental heat of their Light to set themselves ablaze and take flight on burning wings of fire, allowing them to glide longer in the air while fashioning flaming swords to project blasts of Solar energy from their Super.[1] In addition for specializing in airborne combat, the Dawnblade also use their Solar abilities to heal and empower their allies on the battlefield while scorching their enemies with explosive sun fire. Additional Supers include slamming their Daybreak swords to project an aura of enhanced healing and damage resistance for themselves and nearby fellow Guardians and casting a ball of Solar energy that mimics the effects of Radiance from the Sunsingers.

According to Ikora Rey, Solar-wielding Warlocks all embody the metaphorical "Dawn" before the Darkness; being beacons of hope that light the way to embolden allies and friends alike.[2] Some of the earliest Dawnblades were revered religiously as patrons due to their immortal, martyr-like nature; one of them had an entire cult in dedication as "The Flame".[3]

Lore

"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.

Destiny 2

A young—by Warlock standards—apprentice holds out a hand and reaches for flame. Nothing. The wizened teacher laughs. "You're supposed to be teaching me. Not laughing."

The teacher's arm extends as one word hangs in the air, "Sword." As quickly as it appeared, the blade vanishes. "That doesn't help."

"Sword." In a flash, the blade appears again, this time at the student's throat. Both pairs of eyes widened. One aghast, one aglow. "Say it with me."

Two voices ring: "Sword."

A blade appears in each outstretched hand. A pair of wings form on each Warlock's back. Two Warlocks take flight and vow to never again look down.

Season of the Haunted

Rise. Closer, closer to the sun.
Your life shall be restored; the three shall be as one.

Dash. Swiftly, swiftly as the Light.
A scorched earth lies below; foes flee from the fight.

An incandescent ray; behold the mighty way.

Rise. Closer, closer to the blaze.
My wings shall never melt. They're already aflame.

Trivia

  • Dawnblades are part of the new system for sub-class upgrades, where only one passive tree can be active at a time such as either "Attunement Of Sky" , "Attunement Of Fire", or "Attunment Of Grace" , this carries over to the older subclasses that have been brought back as well.
  • The Daybreak sword acts similar to the Black Talon, an exotic Void sword.
  • The Warlock Osiris is shown to use this subclass.
  • As a part of an update to all Solar subclasses, the Attunement of Sky went through a particularly major reworking, including slowing down the speed at which players can be propelled by Icarus Dash while in the Dawnblade super, effectively neutering a lot of the speed players could reliably gain from using it.
