The Dax Herald is Duviri Dax that rallies its allies with its banner and wields the 
Edun.
Behavior[]
This banner-wielding Dax uses the Edun polearm as their weapon of choice. They are capable of rallying and buffing their fellow Dax, and their special attack consists of rapidly spinning their polearm to project in an arch an AoE field of Void energy on the ground that slowly follows the Drifter, initially expanding then shrinking in size. This special attack is interruptible and knocks them over, leaving them open to a ground finisher.
They can also empower their fellow Dax by raising their Edun, which gives all other Dax (and themselves) in range elemental properties based on the current Spiral for a few seconds and also modifies their special attack with Status, which is denoted by their normally blue lights turning red, purple, etc. Eliminating the Herald that cast the empowering aura will revert all other affected Dax back to their regular blue glow and change their attacks back to normal. This buff also only has limited range, potentially meaning some Dax might not be empowered if not in range of the caster.
Notes[]
- As with all Duviri Daxes, Dax Herald takes guaranteed Critical Hit on headshot. This critical hit is independent from the weapon's own critical chance, allowing it to occasionally dip into orange crit.
- Their special attack seems to have low Status Chance, most noticeable when empowered because their AoE attack rarely procs the element corresponding to the current Spiral.
