Gameplay

The blade performs similar to an Energy Sword in that it can strip away energy shields and cut through armor with relative ease. The blade is unwieldable to players as the weapon disintegrates along with the rest of the body immediately after the Knights are defeated. However, it is usable by players when they are assassinating a Knight, whereupon the player tears the blade-arm off the Promethean and uses it to stab its former owner in the chest for the kill.

There are 8 types of Hardlight Blades in the games, a unique type per Promethean Knight class (Basic, Lancer, Battlewagon, Commander, Marshal, Strategos, and Champion). The eighth type, used by the Warden Eternal, functions differently from the others, as it starts as a closed up disc shape, and then hardlight extends from two ends.
