Don’t miss a full breakdown of everything swords can reflect with the newly added artifact Memory of Radegast, including supers, grenades, weapons, and more.
Destiny: Rise of Iron revamped artifacts, specifically eight new artifacts named after the Iron Lords. These new artifacts allow for some rather incredible abilities such as converting enemies to turn against their own kind. One new Destiny artifact, which is available this week from the new Cryptarch, Tyra Karn, at Felwinter Peak, is Memory of Radegast. Memory of Radegast empowers players’ swords with the ability to reflect energy based attacks.
Just like Genji in Overwatch, players not only deflect attacks but can also reflect them back at enemies with deadly results. Reflecting the energy attack is simple enough—it will go wherever a player aims, whether that be back at the enemy who did it or another player.
But what does energy based attacks actually mean? And which ones reflect? Destiny YouTuber and and streamer Datto made a video showing all the things that swords can now reflect with Memory of Radegast equipped.
Supers
Rocket Launchers
Rockets can be reflected, even exotics Truth and Gjallarhorn. Its Wolfpack rounds also get turned against the one firing it and any allies. In the video, it is a simple reflect because the rocket is being fired directly at the one wielding the sword; however in actual gameplay if the rocket hit near the player or behind the player, the explosion would in fact kill the one trying to reflect.
Interestingly, Grenade and Horseshoes can also be reflected, meaning that if a player catches a rocket with Grenade and Horseshoes (detonates within proximity of a player) it will reflect even if the sword does not contact the rocket itself.
