Prismatic Hunter is the Prismatic-based subclass of the Hunter class. It is unlocked by completing the The Final Shape campaign on any difficulty as a Hunter, with initial access granted during the Transmigration mission.

Lore

Dancing along a knife's edge, where light and shadow intertwine.

The Hunter moves like a whisper through the chaos, a fleeting silhouette against the storm. Solar flames flicker in their knives, Arc lightning sparks in their step, and Stasis frost trails their wake. Void cloaks their form, and Strand binds their foes in an inescapable weave.

They are the blade that strikes unseen, the arrow that never misses. With each dodge, they evade fate; with each strike, they shape it. In the crucible of battle, they transcend, wielding the primal forces of creation and destruction as one.

The enemy falters, caught in a storm of ice and fire. The Hunter is gone before the ashes settle, already hunting the next mark.
