History of Defiant Battleground: EDZ

Overview

Defiant Battleground: EDZ is one of the three Defiant Battlegrounds (see Defiant Battleground: Cosmodrome and Defiant Battleground: Orbital Prison). Prisoners are held in a Shadow Legion Pyramid outpost in the European Dead Zone. Launch it from the EDZ map or the Battlegrounds playlist at the H.E.L.M.; it has Customize and Matchmade variants. Requires the Lightfall Ascendant Scepter. ProGameTalk lists 1600 power (destination) or 1770 (playlist) from Season of Defiance, now outdated.

Encounters

Use the Scepter to enter the Ascendant Plane, fight Shadow Legion and Taken, and light Balefire. The boss is Warden Vincu'us, using the same Taken Essence / Balefire cycle as the other battlegrounds.

Rewards

Glimmer and Legendary gear (weapons and Techeun-style Luminopotent armour listed in the rewards). Defiant Keys can drop from destination runs.
