Most Dustbringers were thinkers who liked to take things apart to figure out how they worked. They often objected the people who only focused on the destructive side of their powers, as they felt that it is impossible to create something without understanding the pieces work. The order also attracted foolhardy-but-brave soldiers who tried to control the destructive nature of war to protect innocents.{{wob ref|13774}}
Before the [[Day of Recreance]], some of the Dustbringers preferred to be known as the Releasers because of the similarity between "Dustbringers" and "[[Voidbringers]],"{{epigraph ref|sa2|36}}{{wob ref|13774}} though that name never really became widespread.{{wob ref|3607}} This naming preference may have been influenced by their spren, as [[Spark]] apparently passed it on to [[Malata]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} The Dustbringers were often misjudged by people because of the destructive nature of their powers,{{epigraph ref|sa2|36}} and even some of their fellow Knights Radiant felt they were "on the edge" and did not get along with them.{{wob ref|11988}} The Skybreakers, who often made sure the Radiants didn't abuse their power,{{wob ref|13773}} were particularly concerned about the Dustbringers, despite the fact that the two orders had much in common.{{wob ref|11988}}
The Dustbringers believed that great power requires a strong will to control it, and their oaths were designed to teach them control their destructive power. They could use this power to great effect, burning and destroying large swaths of land when necessarily,{{wob ref|13774}} including during the final battle of the [[Last Desolation]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} However, they preferred to use their power in a more controlled fashion and often functioned as sappers, engineers, and strategists for the Knights Radiant.{{wob ref|13774}}
