History of Attrition

Attrition is a gameplay modifier for Nightfall Strikes. Health and shield regenerate much more slowly than normal, which makes it hard to recover between fights. Defeated enemies may create wells of Light, which restore health and charge your Super when touched.

Attrition also appears on the Master Lost Sector Aphelion's Rest, where it forces a slower pace and makes limited cover a problem. Arcstrider Hunters can largely ignore it with Combination Blow, and Nightstalker Hunters can counter it with Devour.
