Darkblade

Darkblades are a stronger variant of the Hive Knight, serving as heavy melee units and defensive infantry. Their weapon is the Hive Axe, and listed abilities include Summon Hive, Temporary Vanish, Teleportation, Rapid Movement and High Durability.

Darkblades advance slowly to crush players with their axes. When enough damage breaks their helmets, they become enraged and rush forward in a straight line. Some can teleport, dissipating and reappearing behind or within striking distance of the player. Most are Ultra enemies, with Major variants, and all are immune to Finishers regardless of rank.

The first Darkblade was Alak-Hul, a unique Strike boss introduced in the original Destiny at the end of The Sunless Cell. In The Witch Queen he returned as Alak-Hul, the Lightblade, boss of The Lightblade Strike, where he fights in front of the Temple of the Navigator.

The three Fatesmiths of Incaru who guard Dul Incaru in the Shattered Throne are Darkblades: Gaurog, Alak-Tor and Ba-Kuur.
