Yaviks, the Rider

Yaviks, the Rider
Biographical information
Other name(s):	The Rider Yaviks, the Hoss Yaviks, the Untamed
Homeworld:	Eliksni Homeworld
Species:	Fallen
Faction:	Scorn
Rank:	Baron
Class:	Ultra Enforcer

Combat information
Mission:	Target: The Rider
Weapon(s):	Void Cannons Scorn Rockets
Abilities:	Slowness Effect Trail of Flame Burning Effect Boost Handicap Infection Debuff High Durability Rapid Movement Rally Enforcers Pike Charge

Current Gameplay

Yaviks' Pike is a more heavily modified version of its standard counterpart. Its nose-mounted turrets now deal Void damage instead of Arc, and its shots travel in a slightly more winded trajectory in order to better track their targets; it also comes equipped with launchers that periodically fire a barrage of Scorn Rockets, which can seriously damage or even destroy a Guardian-controlled Pike. When boosting, Yaviks' Pike emits a flaming trail which burns everything in its wake, and an energy barrier appears on the front of the vehicle to both protect it from damage as well as knock enemy vehicles around by ramming into them. To deal the most damage and take the least damage in return, it is recommended to flank Yaviks from all possible angles.

Abilities:	Blackout Effect Blindness Effect Slowness Effect Shocking Effect Cloaking Tech Teleportation Ether Smoke Dash Brief Immunity Rapid Movement High Durability Summon Scorn

Current Gameplay

True to her nature, Araskes engages in little direct combat, preferring to use her smoke dash ability to escape trouble. She will also deploy Web Mines disguised as loot as well as bombs made to resemble Exotic Engrams, both as a means to distract and trick Guardians as she is chased down. When cornered, she will chip away at The Guardian's health from a distance with her Scorn Rifle, stomp the ground when faced at close range, teleport to evade or flank her opponent, and call for aid from lesser Scorn units. Due to her tendency to slip away from an engagement, it is best to keep watch of her by following her smoke trails. Once spotted again, one must keep the attack on her as to not let her escape.
