"What does it mean to be a Warlock? Power. Only Warlocks understand true power."
— Ikora Rey
Warlocks are a class of Guardian who are best described as "warrior-scholars." They utilize their Traveler-given powers for both attack and defense. Warlocks specialize in ranged melee attacks and cast elemental spells to eliminate their enemies. They are also adept at offering support to fellow Guardians and fireteam members, by healing them and enhancing the strength of their weapons, and are just as comfortable fighting from mid-air as on the ground. According to some they are also considered ‘huge nerds’. Citation needed, but accepted anyway.
