Scytale

Scytales are powerful enemies found in the Override and Expunge activities. They are a group of Vex-led enemies that also includes simulated Hive, Taken, Cabal and Scorn variants.

Champion Scytales need Anti-Barrier, Anti-Overload or Anti-Unstoppable mods to disrupt them. Killing one in Override drops an Energy Spike, which is deposited at the Vex Terminal.

Scytales first appeared in Season of the Splicer. Major variants arrived when Override returned to Arena Ops in Monument of Triumph, and Scorn Scytales were added in Season of the Lost.
