What Makes It Special
The Praxic Blade features unique combat mechanics. Its signature perk, Cormorant Reversal, converts incoming projectiles into reflective bolts while guarding. You can throw the blade to seek multiple targets or hold for a devastating straight-line attack that recalls when released.
The weapon offers extensive customization through colored crystals that change the blade’s appearance, plus various forms, cores, and catalysts to enhance performance.
Build Synergies
Titans benefit from Stronghold exotic armor, turning guard into sustained defense with restoration, while Hunters gain advantage through Fortune’s Favor exotic for overshield protection during throws.
