- "Made in the image of Darkblades and their progenitor, Shin'ra."
Templars are powerful Hive Darkblades, transmogrified and commanded by the Witness, its Disciples and allies; created by the newly risen Disciple Shin'ra. They are made in the image of Shin'ra, being the progenitor of Darkblades and wield the Paracausal power of Corruption.
Overview
Templars are reshaped Celebrants of Shin'ra made in the image of Shin'ra. They resemble Darkblades that have been outfitted with Dread armor and adornments. Their armor is primarily black, gray and dark orange while their skin is a dark brown color.
They wield massive Dread Axes that resemble the original Hive Axe wielded by Darkblades that deal Corruption damage.
Gameplay
Templars will act similarly to their Darkblade progenitors, slowly advancing towards their targets with their massive axes. When slamming their axe into the ground, they will leave a pool of Corruption upon impact and will last a total of ten seconds before it dissipates. Another attack of theirs includes spinning their axe into the air and flinging more Corruption pools around the area.
Similar to the Tormentors, only their shoulders will be damageable and every other part of their bodies is immune to all damage apart from supers.
When their shoulder weak points are broken, the Templar's helmets will fall off and their chest weak point will reveal itself. In this enraged state, they will move faster and they leave a trail of Corruption in their path. While keeping the other previous abilities they have, the Templars are given a new ability as instead of slamming their axe onto the ground, they will grab targets and begin to drain them, when fighting against Guardians, they will drain their grenade, melee and class energies.
