Court of Blades is a boss rush mode inspired by the [[Court of Oryx]] activity with a twist. Players can interact with the same Hive console that is found in the beginning of [[The Nether]], where players can select runes that affect the activity. After the initial are cleared in the [[Hall of Souls]], all players must stand on a white circle to open a portal to begin the encounter where a 10 minute timer begins to count once they have stepped through the portal. Depending on the enemy faction that is being fought, there are augments and hazards that players must be aware of. Completing an augment objective within a time limit will allow players to earn an activity-exclusive currency called '''Runes'''. '''[[Reciprocal Rune]]s''' will allow players to purchase Tier I upgrades at the Hall of Souls, '''[[Stolen Rune]]s''' will allow players to purchase either Tier I or Tier II upgrades, and '''[[Antiquated Rune]]s''' will allow players to purchase upgrades from any tier including Tier III upgrades. Some upgrades will require players to have a specific rune active for the activity, and a few will require players to be either be on the Path of Resolve or the Ambition at the Shaping Slab. The following augments are known: | |||
*'''Adapt''': Players must match the damage type of the challenger's shield. | |||
*'''Miasma''': Players must avoid standing on the Taken pools or else the boss will be immune to damage. | |||
*'''Banish''': Players must eliminate the [[Caster Wizard]]s before the time runs out or they will be banished to the Blighted Cyst. | |||
*'''Bulwark''': After destroying the small blights, players must eliminate a [[Blight Protector]] and then throw the ball it drops at the large blight. | |||
*'''Descend''': Players must the blights that spawn in throughout the area. | |||
*'''Bound''': Players must lure a challenger to the spot marked with an arrow icon, then kill it before it moves towards another challenger. | |||
*'''Sharpen''': Players destroy a Blight or a Void crystal, then kill an [[Ascendant Bladebearer]] to then use it drops on the boss. | |||
*'''Ritual''': Players mud find a rune that matches the one floating in the center of the area to damage the boss. | |||
*'''Wrath''': Players must kill a [[Wrathborn Elect]], then acquire a buff that will damage the crystals by entering the pool. | |||
*'''Might''': Players must kill the [[Display of Might]] enemies. | |||
While an encounter is active, a challenger will enter the area and sometimes have augment objectives that players can complete within the time limit . After every 2 challengers have been defeated, players will go through a portal where they will return to the Hall of Souls to spend runes and refresh their ammo before returning to the portal. The difficulty of the encounters will escalate after every 2 challengers have been defeated. The activity ends when 13 challengers have been defeated or the 10 minute timer runs out, after which players must defeat the challenger. They will return to the Hall of Souls where a reward chest and a Taken Altar where players could deposit their Metastasized Essentia from the Nether will spawn. If players deposit their Metastasized Essentia, they will be able to earn from the Mysterium where they will able to take less damage from enemy factions if the Path of Resolve is selected and deal increased damage to enemy factions if the Path of Ambition is selected. | |||
