Zavala Is... An Interesting Character, To Say The Least...

Zavala is... an interesting character, to say the least...

He’d have to be an Arc Titan because of the weird rule-of-three thing the Vanguard does, right? Awoken Arc Titan, Human Void Warlock, Exo Solar Hunter.

Now here’s where things get even more interesting:

In the EDZ bunker mission, he uses the Void Titan banner shield ability thingy

In the vanilla campaign, he repeatedly uses Void Titan Bubbles when the tower falls

BUT:

In the Season of Worth trailer, he uses an Arc Striker ability against the Cabal on the Almighty

Zav also used Arc abilities in his story trailer

There are “holograms” of Zav using a Solar hammer in the Dark Forest of D2’s Red War campaign

Now, I’m a Solar Gunslinger. I’ve never played a Titan before, so I’m not entirely familiar with their abilities, but this is intriguing from a story standpoint.

Sure, Ikora is a fucking badass and has used both Voidwalker and Stormcaller abilities, and Cayde did stuff from all 3 Solar trees in that Last Stand cutscene, but they’re both specialists in their elements and are rarely shown multiclassing.

Saint is a Void Titan- That’s all but confirmed. However, as someone kindly pointed out in the notes, he has used Arc abilities before in the comics.

Now that I think about it, we’ve only seen a few Vanguard members, current or otherwise, not using abilities other than those of their element.

Idk about Andal or Tallulah, but as far as I know, Andal was a Solar Hunter... and Tallulah gives me Solar vibes from the entry I’ve read (The Bombardiers exotic leggies for Hunters)

In Conclusion? I’m wrong. A lot. And while the Vanguard may have the rule of three going on, their members aren’t all restricting themselves to their main element, which is awesome.

Update 2:

Thank y’all in the notes for informing me about Ikora and Zav in the forest and trailers! Sorry that I didn’t know about those...

Updated about Saint using Arc abilities

I’ve revised the post accordingly

Update 3: 

Osiris uses all three Warlock Supers in the Immolant pages (which *I think* came out a few months after this original post). Removed note about him only using Solar.

Caliban-8 also mainly used Solar. Updated bc Caliban’s Hand exotic

Why isn't anyone talking about these hanging in Zavala's office?

According to Destiny lore he's not a Solar Titan and he's hated by the Sunbreakers, so why does he even have these in his office? The shield makes sense since he is a Void Titan but these two don't make sense.

New sweatshirt!

“He is about to abandon a ruined Devils skiff when he hears a faint hiss from inside a ventilation shaft. He clambers up to peer into its grate and sees four wary eyes shining back at him. A hatchling, still soft and translucent with its egg-molt. Carefully, he pries the grate open and beckons to her. "Velask, kelekh," he murmurs. "Nankemrak." She crawls into his palm and his heart surges.”

BUNGO MY HEART PLZ

Unsurprisingly I’m still thinking about that Truth lore, aka sulky-teen-vandal-turned-single-dad Mithrax lore.

Enjik: “It’s a hybrid lost to the knowledge of the armories..... amazing... a surefire ticket into the Old Tower’s relic vault....”

BJ and Bonnie, simultaneously: “It’s a boomstick. You shoot shit with it. Discussion over.”

“This is a shotgun. Change my mind.”

“It uses a field-induction coil to accelerate projectiles like a railgun.”

“But it fires those projectiles in a spread. Doesn’t matter how it accelerates them.”

“It also fires a three-round burst. I suppose you think it’s also a pulse rifle.”

“Nope. Pulses first multi-round bursts of single shots.”

“You’ve been increasingly insufferable ever since you joined that VanNet forum about sandwiches.”

“The subtle distinctions between categories are crucial to the discrimination of meaning.”

“Funny, ‘cause you’ve been awfully indiscriminate about what you think does and does not qualify as a sandwich, and now apparently what is or isn’t a shotgun.”

“If there was a good argument it’s not a shotgun, you could change my mind.”

“Right now you should be worried about finding a good argument against luring some of Saint’s birds to shit on your jumpship.”
