In defense of the new exotic, it could have more to it. When I saw the trailer for Beyond Light’s exotics, I thought Athrys was absolutely going to be trash. Now I main them and they’re my favorite exotic. Could be a similar situation to that. I have hope.

  • I used it briefly in PVP and it bounced me a knife kill around a corner once, I would say its more of a situational backup in case they are one shot and you are reloading and need that quick kill. I do use it in PVE with Lumina for helping my buddies and have a melee-wellmaker build.

Once you learn the spots, you’ll instinctually just throw them. I’ll share a few clips below. Just know that I’m addicted to these things. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508823920519020552/938504650397720646/trim.91A90C36-6D9C-45D0-BD26-9498D52ACA1C.mov From my enemies perspective. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508823920519020552/938504709608726578/trim.B11A583F-5BDE-4E9A-B801-C56FC913CCA1.mov https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508823920519020552/938504791905144872/trim.25508A7A-0A09-4B7F-BF27-A393EC6EE87F.mov I have hundreds of these clips. It’s a shame I rarely see anyone else use these things.

  • Holy moly, I had no idea they were that good, I mostly just use em in PVE trying to help a buddy catch up on story stuff, now I have some PVP testing to try out later, cool.

Nothing is more satisfying in seeing someone stand in a spot that you know you can hit them in. One great example is the area behind the glass on Wormhaven. Guaranteed headhsot if they don’t notice your knife. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508823920519020552/938507053633257522/trim.ED1FB0F3-BA05-4C0A-8BE8-3DCC500B8181.mov Also worth noting that the bonus damage is also very helpful. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508823920519020552/938507142988722186/trim.2FCF8C1E-ED37-4D29-B9CF-865FBAE8AE68.mov

It will serve it's intended purpose. I said what I said to start a conversation.
