The Dawnblade is the new sub-class for the Warlock, and is a sub-class designed to offer damage and mobility. As a Dawnblade Warlock you'll be able to utilise the powerful Daybreak Super which allows you to wield a blade. Depending on which upgrade path you choose allows you to gain further utility and extend its duration through kills (Attunement of Flame), or to gain greater mobilty and burn damage through Attunement of Sky. 

As you'll note below, the Dawnblade Warlock can improve their Grenades to gain utility (Vortex and Axion), or damage (Scatter). In addition, and as is standard with all Warlock sub-classes, their sub-class ability is known as Rift and allows them to improve themselves and their team. Finally and unlike other classes, the Warlock (and Voidwalker) gains access to Glide, allowing you to Blink.
