Template:Hive Sect infobox

The Lucent Brood is a Hive sect found within Savathûn's Throne World. They are distinguishable by their dark blue/alabaster white armor, grey skin, and feature spike-like armor.

Uniquely among the Hive, the Lucent Brood have been gifted with the powers of the Light and are capable of raising some of their members from the dead as Hive Lightbearers through the use of their own Ghosts. Even their living members could be imbued with Light by Lucent Moths, increasing their power.^[1]^[2] They play a prominent role in The Witch Queen and Season of the Risen expansions.

Trivia

The Hive Brood's appearance seems to mimic members of the previous Broods of Sol rather than their ancestral counterparts.
In the trailers for Witch Queen, it has been observed that the Hive of this brood possess blue eyes instead of the usual green. This may be connected to the Brood using the light in contrast to the other Hive wielding the Darkness.
- This has been proven false with the release of The Witch Queen, as many of their rank-in-file are shown with green eyes. The exceptions are Hive Lightbearers, whose eye color matches the element of their super.
The three main examples of Lightbearing Hive (Knight, Wizard, and Acolyte) are analogues of the three guardian classes (Titan, Warlock, and Hunter, respectively).
