The ''Domotos''-pattern fireblade is one of the many energy sword variants manufactured by the Covenant. The ''Domotos''-pattern is characterized by its angular contour and a rectangular hole along the inner edge of either blades.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} The design for the blade's contour likely arose during the [[Writ of Union]], as murals recording the event in [[Nuusra]], [[Sanghelios]], depicted ancient [[San'Shyuum]] and ancient Sangheili sharing blades of the same design.{{Ref/Game|H5G|[[:File:Ruins Mural 5.png|Sangheili murals]]}}

The ''Domotos''-pattern energy sword is featured in ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo Online]]'',{{Ref/Game|HO|[[:File:Halo Online - screenshot.jpg|Screenshot]]}} and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. The energy sword is a powerful melee weapon in close-quarters combat, capable of killing most foes with a single strike. It is a power weapon that appears on some multiplayer maps.
The ''Domotos''-pattern energy sword is featured in ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''. In ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' campaign, the ''Domotos''-pattern replaces the ''Pelosus''-pattern in gameplay, with no functional differences, though the ''Pelosus''-pattern appears in the remastered cinematics. The energy sword is a powerful melee weapon in close-quarters combat, capable of killing most foes with a single strike. It is a power weapon that appears on some multiplayer maps.


In ''Halo 5 Guardians'', the Ravening Sliver can be swung faster than other energy swords, while the Vorpal Talon allows the user to have [[Spartan abilities|two thruster charges]] before recharging, as well as increased jump height, longer stabilizer duration of 4.95 seconds, increased lunge distance, and a built-in [[motion tracker]] that stays visible on the user's [[Heads-up display|HUD]] even while zoomed in, much like with [[Linda-058]]'s personal [[Nornfang]] [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle]]. This weapon can also be found as the second [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon]] in the final campaign mission [[Guardians]].

In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the energy sword can turn Spartan charges into one-hit-kills if active. As the Spartan uses the sword to accomplish this, doing so consumes battery.
