Strand

Overview

Strand is an elemental manifestation of the Darkness that manipulates the Weave, a paracausal web of psychic energy connecting all things and minds. It was introduced in Lightfall as the second Darkness subclass, similar to Stasis, the other Darkness element. Guardians first see it in Neomuna's threads and master it with help from Osiris and Nimbus, which lets them fight Calus's Shadow Legion and disable the Suppressors there. See The Final Strand. Mastering Strand requires letting go of control and moving with the threads rather than against them.

Subclasses

• Berserker (Titan): claw attacks and a suspending uppercut.
• Threadrunner (Hunter): a rope dart for extended grappling and jabs.
• Broodweaver (Warlock): telekinetic projectiles that unravel into threadlings.

Fragments

Strand Fragments are "Thread of" modifiers that change Strand effects. Examples include Thread of Ascent, which reloads weapons when you activate your grenade, and Thread of Binding, which emits a suspending burst after Super final blows.
