6: Bladedancer
Bladedancer, like the Defender, hasn’t gotten worse but instead the addition of new classes has added new threats that it can’t necessarily deal with. With the edition of Nightstalker (that can shut down an Arc Blade with Shadowshot), Stormcaller, and Sunbreaker, there are now three more classes that can easily kill the powerful but squishy Bladedancers from a distance with their super. In Trials of Osiris, supers are a big part of the game as they can win rounds on their own. Where before Bladedancers maybe only had to worry about getting hit with Fist of Havoc out of nowhere or a Gunslinger activation while charging in, there are now three more classes that can counter them hard.
If you’re going to pick Bladedancer for Trials of Osiris in The Taken King, you need to be very picky about when you decide to charge in and Arc Blade the opposing team. Pay attention to when supers were used so you don’t waste yours. Also, take advantage of your Arcbolt Greandes, which are still one of the best grenades in the game. Just getting it near enemies is good enough to do some serious damage especially if the opposing team is grouped up.
