what is the description of the strand verb: unravel in destiny 2

The Strand verb Unravel in Destiny 2 means the target is permeated with destructive Strand matter; when you keep damaging them, they release unraveled projectiles that seek nearby enemies. If an unraveled target dies, it can create a Tangle, and Unraveling Rounds from Strand weapons also pierce Barrier Champion shields and stun them.

In plain terms

• It is a Strand debuff that spreads pressure to nearby enemies through seeking projectiles.

• It can be applied by certain Strand abilities and weapons, including effects that cause Unraveling Rounds.

• It is often compared by players to a spreading damage effect because it jumps from one target to others.

Quick example

If you hit an unraveled enemy, the effect can burst into little Strand projectiles, and those projectiles can then make other enemies unraveled too.

Why it matters

Unravel is useful for clearing groups and for dealing with Barrier Champions when it comes from Unraveling Rounds.
