Whether you are a seasoned Guardian or a new player, The Lament has something extraordinary to offer if you know how to use it.
Unveiling The Lament: A Force to be Reckoned With
The Rise of Swords in Destiny 2
Swords have always held a place of prominence in Destiny 2, and with the introduction of The Lament, their impact has reached new heights. Prior to this season, the Falling Guillotine reigned supreme, especially when dealing with bosses and champions during the Arrivals era. Even with a few nerfs, the Guillotine remains a potent weapon.
However, The Lament has transcended expectations and ascended to a whole new level of power. As an exotic, it occupies your precious exotic slot, meaning you’ll have to forgo pairing it with other exotics like Witherhoard or Izanagi’s Burden. But rest assured, the sheer damage it unleashes is unparalleled and makes it worth the trade.
A Force of Destruction: The Lament in Action
Take a moment to imagine the sheer devastation caused by 3-6 Guardians wielding The Lament. It can decimate virtually anything in the game within seconds. Raid bosses that once posed a challenge are now brought to their knees in a single phase. The power it exudes is exemplified in encounters like Atraks-1, where a team armed with The Lament can emerge victorious with incredible ease.
But The Lament’s prowess is not limited to grand scales; even in smaller skirmishes, it shines brightly. In a regular Exodus Crash strike, two Guardians armed with The Lament can dispose of the final boss within two phases, an impressive feat considering the boss’s tendency to teleport away when faced with significant damage.
Unlocking The Lament’s Full Potential
The key to harnessing The Lament’s true might lies in understanding its mechanics. The secret is to rev it up to its maximum potential before delivering a devastating heavy attack. To achieve this, hold the block button and follow up with 2-3 light attacks to accumulate stacks of Banshee’s Wail. Once charged, release the heavy attack, and witness the astounding damage it inflicts. By mastering this technique, you unleash a power that rivals even the most potent whirlwind blades.
Moreover, The Lament offers additional advantages that set it apart from other swords. As an anti-barrier sword, it can penetrate otherwise impassable barriers, making it indispensable in certain encounters. It also possesses healing properties when revved up, ensuring you stay resilient in the heat of battle.
Balancing Power and Challenge
While The Lament is undoubtedly an exceptional weapon, it is not immune to limitations. Some floating bosses, impervious to swords’ touch, may pose a challenge. However, the joy and excitement it brings outweigh any potential shortcomings.
Embrace the Dominance of The Lament
As a responsible Guardian, I do not call for a nerf to this incredible weapon. The Lament’s power brings unparalleled enjoyment, and it would be a disservice to dampen its impact. Yet, we must remain vigilant in ensuring the game’s balance remains intact. If The Lament becomes the singular choice in every activity, Bungie may consider adjustments to preserve the game’s diversity.
Embrace the Power of The Lament
The Destiny 2 universe is filled with exciting exotics like Eyes of Tomorrow and Cloudstrike. However, The Lament stands on a league of its own, easily accessible to all players through a quick quest. The future meta may evolve, but Bungie’s openness to wild and powerful weapons provides hope for The Lament’s continued glory.
If you have not yet wielded this formidable weapon, waste no time in acquiring it. Its future might be uncertain, but its current strength promises an exhilarating experience like no other.
