Praxic Blade Forms are three unique variants of the Exotic sword, each tailored for a different combat style in the Lawless Frontier and beyond.
The three Forms are Balanced, Defensive, and Offensive, each offering specific perks that affect melee, throw, and block mechanics.
Choosing the right Form lets you customize the sword for your preferred playstyle, whether you want to focus on survivability, raw damage, or a mix of both.
What Are Praxic Blade Forms?
Praxic Blade Forms are different modes you can use with the Exotic sword, including Balanced, Defensive, and Offensive, that can be selected once obtained.
Each Form changes how the sword behaves in combat, providing unique effects for melee attacks, throws, and blocking, and more.
Depending on how you tend to use the Praxic Blade and what kind of fighting you focus on, certain Praxic Blade Forms may be more beneficial.
How To Get All Praxic Blade Forms & Effects?
1) Balanced Form
Unlocked immediately when you receive the Praxic Blade during the Fire and Ice mission in the Renegades campaign.
The Balanced Form provides focus on both offensive and defensive combat using the Praxic Blade, providing a balance for those who use it in both ways.
- Rapid final blows grant ammo to the Praxic Blade and trigger health regeneration
- Increases damage against rank-and-file combatants
2) Defensive Form
Earned by completing the Praxic’s Path quest that becomes available after finishing the main Renegades storyline.
The Defensive form adjusts the use of the Praxic Blade, focusing more on deflecting enemy attacks, giving you more protection against ranged enemies.
- Blocking an attack with your guard grants ammo to the Praxic Blade
- Blocking an attack immediately after guarding increases damage for a short duration
3) Offensive Form
Available later in the Equilibrium dungeon, with exact acquisition details to be updated once the dungeon is live.
The Offensive Form pushes further when it comes to attacking your enemies up close, rewarding you for consecutive hits.
- Landing three melee or throw attacks grants ammo to this weapon
- Increases damage against bosses and vehicles
Equipping Praxic Blade Forms
