Wanna know a fun fact?
Chaos Reach literally does not register when used against an enemy Banner Shield blocking from the front, nor does it work against Taken Blights. It's not that they're immune, there aren't even any hitmarkers to begin with. That means you're wasting your Super for absolutely nothing.
It works against normal Sentinel block, it even works against Bubble, essentially trading Super for Super, and with Geomags, you probably have enough leftover to kill the Titan if they don't get out of the way in time.
And for some reason, it goes right through a deflecting Arcstrider's guard, just outright killing it.

Fun fact of the day: You can kill an arcstrider that is trying to deflect your shots by switching to a trace rifle, and showing that man who is boss. Tracerifles are not affected by the deflect, and pass right through. Coldheart works best.
-
While I have been made aware of that, an Arcstrider who's also aware of that fact(as most probably aren't, as well as its interaction with Chaos Reach) would just dodge around normally to make you miss. Especially with something like Coldheart, which relies on constantly staying on target. Though Wavesplitter might have a word or two about that(apparently it's like pre-nerf Prometheus Lens) according to what I've heard from friends on PlayStation(I'm on Xbox).

RIP the non-Playstation players. Shouldn't the exclusive items for Playstation be somehow illegal, since all players pay the same price for the dlc, but we do not get access to the same content, at least the small, tiny, less than a percent of content? Like, I paid for Forsaken, but I can't get every exotic and crucible map because some if it is limited to a certain brand of platform? The least they could do is take a penny or two off the price lol.

Chaos Reach it's not considered a projectile which is the only things arcstrider can parry. Nova bomb before its explosion is a projectile, titan hammers projectile, blade barrage projectile, rockets projectile. It can't deflect trace rifles either.

The real question is would it be able to deflect hardlight

Edited by Rocket3497: 11/19/2018 12:02:47 AMIt probably kills arcstrider because he is also arc so it’s matching elements, it probably works really good against other arc supers as well

Edited by DiZ: 11/19/2018 4:05:21 AMI don't understand where this started, but matching elements do [b][i]not[/i][/b] do more damage to Supers of that same element. The numbers will always be the same across weapons of the same archetype, as well as when one Super is used against others that share the same damage reisistance. It has never worked that way. I remember when everyone ran Arc on all of their guns to counter the Arcstrider meta of Season 3, and get mad when someone pulled out a Riskrunner. Unknowingly being complete detriments to themselves and their teammates. You can take an Adaptive Sniper in both your Kinetic and Energy slots into a Private Mayhem match, dome a friend of yours mid-Super with both, and the damage number will be the exact same, even if the Energy Sniper is the same element as your friend's roaming Super.

Well i knew that the regular guardian shields didn’t react to matching elements, but i was speculating about it working against supering enemies, thanks for the info.

Yeah I’ve noticed most of it. I don’t see any issue with him flat out mowing down arc strider tho. It’s defecting projectiles but as a huge steam of lighting I don’t really see much in all sci-fi that arcstider would be able to tank it
