Le Monarque PvP Stats

Le Monarque is an Exotic Combat Bow.

Perks - Curated Roll

Intrinsic

• Poison Arrows — Arrows fired quickly after a full draw become poison arrows. Precision hits with poison arrows stun the combatant and spread poison to nearby ones. Strong against Overload Champions.

Bowstring

• Natural String — Simple balanced string.
  • Slightly increases accuracy
  • Slightly increases handling speed
  • Slightly increases stability

Arrow

• Compact Arrow Shaft — Thinner arrows to increase nocking speed and weapon handling.
  • Increases handling speed
  • Increases reload speed

Trait 1

• Snapshot Sights - Faster time to aim down sights. Stability is increased.

Catalyst

• Unrelenting - Rapidly defeating targets triggers health regeneration. Guardians and powerful combatants count as more than one kill.

Le Monarque Catalyst can be found by completing strikes, Crucible and Gambit matches. Its upgrade is unlocked by defeating 700 enemies with Le Monarque.

The Catalyst increases Le Monarque's Reload Speed stat by 20, increases its Stability stat by 30, and adds the Unrelenting perk.

Notes

• Prior to New Light, this weapon could randomly drop when the player completed a powerful weapon frame.
• The anti-Overload effect is only applied when Poison Arrows is triggered.
  • An anti-Overload effect can be applied to all fully drawn arrows by equipping Overload Bow, if it is available on the current Seasonal Artifact.

Lore

We sit together and stare out into the distance, at the mountains that stretch toward the heavens. There are still vibrant parts of the world, and we must not forget them. To fill her mind with them is to make her human. To connect her to the world before.

Nearby, a flutter of butterflies seek their next batch of sustenance, knowing not what the world around them has become.

She watches them. They are new to her. A wayward butterfly from the flutter lands on her arm. She looks at it, and then to me. "Le Monarque," she says. I nod and attempt a smile. I watch her. Somehow she reminds me of it. Beautiful and dangerous all at once.

Sadness washes over me. I reach out and rub her back, a fleeting moment of comfort for us both, as the feel of her cold body against my hand causes me to pull away. For a moment, I forgot what she was.

There's an awkward silence. I steal another glance at her, simultaneously frightened of and in awe of who and what she is.

A product of my own twisted ambition and desperation.

The monarch flies away, unlikely to be seen again.
