The '''hardlight blade''' is a [[Forerunner]] melee weapon.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Official Game Guide|Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide]]''' (Collector's Edition), page 57</ref> It is affixed to the [[Promethean Knight]]s of [[Requiem]].


The '''Hardlight blade''' is a close-quarters combat (CQC) melee weapon used by the [[Promethean Knight]]s on [[Requiem]]. The weapon acts in a similar manner to an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] in that it can strip away [[energy shields]] with one swipe. However, it cannot be used by anyone else other than a Knight, as it disintegrates upon the Promethean Knight's death.
== Gameplay ==
 
The blade performs similar to an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] in that it can strip away [[energy shields]] with relative ease. The blade is unwieldable to players as the weapon disintegrates immediately after the Knights are defeated. However, it is usable by players when they are [[Assassination#Promethean_Knight|assassinating a Knight]].
Because of the power of the hardlight blade, Promethean Knights are extremely dangerous in melee combat. Their forearm blade gives them an impressive reach, so it is a bad idea for players to stay too close in combat. <ref>'''[[Halo 4: Official Game Guide|Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide]]''' (Collector's Edition), page 57</ref>
