History of Balestra

Overview

Balestra is the 2-piece set bonus of the Swordmaster Legendary armor set. Damaging a target with a Sword, Glaive or any melee attack exhausts that target, which reduces the damage it deals.

Acquisition

The bonus is active while two or more pieces of the Swordmaster set are equipped. The set was added in Season 28 and offered as part of the Season 28 Portal gear set, with pieces for Hunter, Titan and Warlock. See Stesso Tempo for the 4-piece bonus.
