DESCRIPTION
For the entire year in Destiny 2, the story has been hinting at the arrival of the Hive God Xivu Arath, the god of war. This inspired me to continue this trend by designing a strike where players assault the lair of two of her lieutenants.

GAMEPLAY DESIGN
With the story of Destiny 2 hinting at the arrival of the Hive god Xivu Arath, I felt that it was only proper that a god have lieutenants to herald their arrival. However, what good would it be for their Hive lieutenants to exist if the player couldn't fight them. And so the strike Heralds of War was born. This strike takes inspiration from a variety our sources. Players can expect to find aspects of fan favorite strikes from Destiny 1 such as The Sunless Cell and the Shield Brothers as well as fresh new ideas that put players in situations they have never found themselves in before. The architecture of the strike pays homage to a variety of existing hive locales and structures while, at the same time, breathing fresh air into each and every room. More details on the strike can be found in the design document below.
