History of Fallen Captain

Overview

Fallen Captain is the enemy classification for Fallen leaders, the final growth-form of an Eliksni. Captains lead Fallen crews, command nearby Dregs and Vandals, and are large and durable.

A Captain is always shielded by an Arc barrier, shown by a blue shine and a second health bar. Arc damage breaks it fastest, though enough of any damage will collapse it, and once it breaks the Captain usually takes cover. Captains blink short distances to reposition or escape, and in Destiny 2 they teleport-strafe, hitting from alternating sides. The head is the precision spot.

Captains commonly carry Shrapnel Launchers and Shock Rifles, with Shock Blades and kinetic melee as close-range options. A Scorch Cannon is very rare. Captain Avarokk, the Covetous is a Fallen Captain. The Taken Captain is the Taken equivalent.
