- — Kaniks, the Mad Bomber [1]
Kaniks, the Mad Bomber is a Baron of the Scorn. Responsible for a vast minefield throughout the Reef which regularly claims Awoken lives, Kaniks is a crazed lunatic who lives only to chase the adrenaline high of yet another fiery explosion. He was captured alongside his fellow barons and locked deep within the Prison of Elders. A year after the events of the Red War, Kaniks was freed by Uldren Sov, and was later present at the murder of Cayde-6 at Sov's hand.[1]
Gameplay
Kaniks' main explosive weapon of choice is the Scorn Grenade, which he throws at The Guardian to continuously bombard their position, breaking their shields in just a handful of explosions, and not taking much longer to outright kill them afterward. He also moves rapidly and teleports to random locations as well, making him an erratic target. Occasionally, he will disappear from the area and transmat a Splinter Mine, which will immediately kill all Guardians in the vicinity if it is not defused. When defusing the mines, lesser Scorn units such as Screebs and Ravagers will assault the player on all sides and must be taken care of. While fighting Kaniks, it is best to keep one's distance and remain mobile, as to avoid the detonations as well as the Ultra Smash at close range.
Trivia
- Kaniks is the fifth Fallen known to speak English, as well as the third antagonist to do so.
- Being that he is 12'1, Kaniks is an inch taller than most of the Barons, with Elykris, the Machinist being the tallest.
