Blistered Knights are a more powerful, Major variant of the Hive Knight. They were first introduced in The Witch Queen expansion as part of the Lucent Brood,^[1] featuring in Legendary Campaign Missions, as well as the PsiOps Battlegrounds activity.^[2] In Season of Plunder, the Major Hidden Swarm Knights that were encountered at the gate to Sorrow's Harbor in the A Mysterious Disturbance Mission were renamed to Blistered Knights^[3]. A Blisted Knight of Savathûn's Brood appears in the Destiny 2 version of the King's Fall Raid, at the end of the maze in Golgoroth's Cellar^[4], and in the Dreaming City.

Trivia

It is unknown if it was intentional or a developer oversight for the Knights to be part of Savathûn's Brood.
