Destiny 2 Players Shouldn't Sleep on One Non-Prismatic Element For Builds

Highlights

  • Solar builds can still compete with Prismatic builds in Destiny 2‘s current meta.
  • Seasonal Artifact perks enhance Solar Subclasses, making them ideal to use now.
  • The Hunter Celestial Nighthawk Still Hunt builds remain powerful as DPS options post-nerf.

As a seasoned Guardian with countless hours logged in the vibrant world of Destiny 2, I can confidently say that the recent Final Shape DLC has brought about an exciting shift in the meta, yet it’s not all doom and gloom for the old-timers like me. The Solar builds, despite being overshadowed by the flashy Prismatic Subclasses, are still holding their own in this new era of Destiny 2.

As a devoted fan, I’ve been thrilled by the recent addition of the Final Shape DLC in Destiny 2, which has brought about a host of innovative buildcrafting tools that are truly game-altering, primarily through the introduction of the Prismatic Subclasses. However, while these new Prismatic Subclasses have undeniably taken center stage, it’s important to note that some of the game’s older Subclasses can still hold their own in Destiny 2’s current meta.

In Destiny 2, Solar construction designs can hold their own against top-tier Prismatic builds, especially during the ongoing Episode: Echoes. The current moment might be an excellent opportunity for gamers to experiment with creating a new Solar setup using the most recent building techniques.

Why Episode: Echoes Is a Great Time to Use Solar Subclass Builds in Destiny 2

Solar Subclasses are particularly advantageous as they inherently offer Restoration across all character classes, enhancing survivability. Moreover, the present Episode: Echoes Artifact bonuses feature some notable perks that align with Solar Subclasses, making this an ideal moment to employ Solar builds for any of the three characters.

Episode: Echoes Artifact Perks for Solar Builds

Echoes Artifact Perk: Description:
Incendiary Rifle Rounds Solar sniper rifle precision hits Scorch targets
Solar Fulmination Ignitions do increased damage in an increased radius
Radiant Orbs While players have a Solar or Prismatic Subclass equipped, picking up an Orb of Power makes the player Radiant
Sniper’s Meditation Sniper rifle hits grant stacking sniper rifle damage, stability, and reload bonuses for a short time. Heavy ammo sniper rifle hits count as more than one

As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed that the Seasonal Artifact perks for sniper rifles aren’t strictly tied to using a Solar Subclass, but they certainly complement Solar builds quite well. For those Hunter mains like myself, these sniper rifle perks are particularly beneficial when pairing them with a Solar Hunter build, especially with the new Still Hunt Exotic from the Final Shape DLC.

Hunter Celestial Nighthawk Still Hunt Builds Are Meta Even After the Nerfs

Prior to the release of the Final Shape DLC, creators who got early access to the content discovered that the recently introduced Still Hunt Exotic sniper rifle, known for firing Golden Gun bullets, synergizes well with the Hunter’s Celestial Nighthawk Exotic armor. To put it simply, the Still Hunt is able to maximize the potential of the Celestial Nighthawk, granting it a potent single shot that detonates defeated enemies and boosts Super ability regeneration from kills.

As a dedicated gamer immersed in Destiny 2, I’ve noticed a significant change in my favorite build lately. The almighty Still Hunt, paired with the Celestial Nighthawk, just took a massive 33% hit on its damage benefit. It’s a tough blow, but even after this nerf, I can’t deny that the Celestial Nighthawk Still Hunt builds remain one of the top choices for DPS in Destiny 2. The power still shines, even under the new light.

Warlock’s Song of Flame Super is the New Well of Radiance

Unlike Hunter’s Still Hunt, which remains robust following a major adjustment (nerf), Warlock’s Well of Radiance experienced much more damaging changes. Although the Well of Radiance Super is no longer prevalent in the meta, Warlock’s latest Song of Flame Super offers many of the benefits that the former provided and doesn’t confine players to a fixed location. This power greatly increases the user’s resistance to harm while empowering their weapons with Radiant energy and amplifying their abilities. It also bestows these enhancements on allies in close proximity, creating a potent combination of offensive and defensive bonuses.

Solar Titans Have the Perfect Blend of Add Clear and Boss DPS

In the world of Destiny 2, two Titan builds that continue to dominate in PvE gameplay are the Pyrogale Mantle setup and the Throwing Hammer builds. The Throwing Hammer stands out due to its ability to boast the quickest cooldown among Titan melee skills, and since melee plays a significant role in Titans’ unique skillset, the Throwing Hammers serve as a robust base for any build. On the other hand, the Pyrogale Mantles feature Consecration melee abilities and the Burning Maul Super, offering an impressive mix of crowd control and boss damage.
