Lysander’s Cry Stats

Unfortunately, Lysander’s Cry will not help you in the SRL. Check out our article on the fastest Sparrows in Destiny if you are interested in winning races. Lysander’s Cry is not a bad Sparrow, but it lacks the boost ratings of the Ravensteel, Timebreaker, or any Xur upgraded Sparrow.

Lysander’s Cry is a one of the better looking Sparrows in Destiny though, and it rewards you with Grimoire score. It is also capable of tricks, and is one of the easier trick Sparrows to acquire. Despite the mediocre boost ratings, Lysander’s Cry is still a Sparrow worth unlocking.
