Hunter Aspect: Threaded Specter
- Activate your class ability to leave behind a decoy woven from Strand matter that draws the attention of nearby combatants.
- After taking significant damage or when combatants approach, the decoy detonates, dealing damage and releasing Threadlings that seek out and attack nearby foes.
- Pesky Cabal gunfire, have you pinned down?
- Need a quick distraction so you can revive a teammate?
- Have you ever thought about what a bunch of Threadlings in a trench coat looks like?
- The new Threaded Specter Aspect for the Hunter Threadrunner might just be what you’re looking for.
- When players activate their dodge, they leave behind a decoy woven from Strand matter that draws the attention of enemies on the battlefield.
- Enemies will shoot at the Threaded Specter until it’s destroyed or expires, giving the Hunter and their fireteam enough time to get to safety.
- When destroyed, a Threaded Specter explodes into two Threadlings.
- Threaded Specter gives Hunter players access to the Threadling generation and a new way to control the battlefield.
Titan Aspect: Flechette Storm
- While sliding, activate your charged melee ability to leap into the air, knocking nearby targets away and dealing damage.
- While airborne, activate your charged melee again to launch a cluster of damaging, Unraveling projectiles.
- Repeatedly activating melee will chain other throws.
- Berserker Titans are known for their unbridled aggression.
- While sprinting headfirst into battle is often the best way to deploy Berserker abilities, players will get a tool allowing for more potency at range and giving Titans easier ways to unravel enemies.
- This is where Flechette Storm comes into play.
- With Flechette Storm, Berserkers have access to a powerful new slide-melee attack that quickly launches them into the air and blasts away any nearby enemies.
- While airborne, press the melee button again to fire a cluster of tracking projectiles that deal heavy damage and unravel enemies.
- Flechette Storm provides the Berserker with a ranged melee option while keeping with the spirit of their fast-paced gameplay.
Warlock Aspect: The Wanderer
- Tangles you throw attach to enemies and detonate into a suspending burst. Threadling final blows create a Tangle.
- Since the Warlock Broodweaver is a Strand minion master, exploring additional ways the Broodweaver might weave life into the world around them felt natural.
- Enter The Wanderer—a sentient Tangle woven from Broodweaver brilliance.
- When Warlocks equipped with this Aspect pick up a Tangle, they weave the Tangle into The Wanderer.
- When thrown, The Wanderer travels through the air, seeking targets.
- Once it finds a target, it soars towards them, latches on, and explodes into a Suspending detonation that deals damage and suspends any nearby enemies.
- To round out the gameplay loop, The Wanderer also enables Threadling final blows from any source to generate a Tangle.
- The Wanderer gives Broodweavers another way to upgrade their Tangles and grants access to the suspend effect without needing a Shackle Grenade.
- We’re pretty excited to get these new Strand Aspects in the game, and we hope you enjoy them when Season 21 launches.
- We’ll be monitoring their performance across the game and will continue to balance them over time.
