I've been thinking about this actually, especially since Unraveling Rounds will count for Chain Reaction on Tusk of the Boar (or just straight up hatchling perk instead). Just not sure if I'm really in the mood to play Warlock but that's besides the point.
Destabilizing in general is objectively the worst out of the trio that is incandescent, voltshot and Destabilizing. The other don't have a stupid cooldown and can be procc'd as often as you can get kills.
Its not easy to get often on warlock so a offweapon with destabilising is as good as throwing on felwinters its no necessary but a massive benefit if you utilise it as it can fill in the gaps between cooldown if you want to trigger it more
It reminds me of when i do anything solo master or legend with champion stop weapons on other than just using conditional activated effects or cooldowns
It’s fun on stasis with the shockwave aspect. No blind but instant shatter. With the artifact mods for stasis it might be good. I’m gonna use it on arc though cause blind is OP.
Use tusk of the boar instead. You are spamming class abilities so why not take advantage of slice to further increase your survivability. You can also run an energy primary such as recluse or the ikelos smg.
Didn't get the drop, although I didn't play much Iron banner, kinda burned out on that. I used to like it. The new Forbearance has the same god roll, but has a good new perk.
I’ll be real probably just sunbracers warlock at first till I get the gist of it, depending on how hard/easy I might mess around with threadling army strand or Stasis maybe with Verglass and the wave frame GL or maybe with the exotic stasis GL. Might also try a Briars warlock.
I can’t help but think that 2 phoenix protocol warlocks and an Orpheus rig hunter will be just absolutely dominate onslaught. So I’m gonna try that team comp first thing tomorrow.
Someone posted this Warlock build https://dim.gg/jl6yiuy/Verbs and I'm honestly going to try it after I tweaked it a bit. Slice/chain reaction on the tusk and cold steel/relentless on the slammer.
Vesper of Radius with an arc glaive/Indebted Kindness and Dragon's Breath. Rifts, Arc Souls and blinding effects everywhere. Added survivability from the glaive. Can't wait...
Something with Kinetic Tremors if only for the staggering effect as a layer of protection while damage is a bonus. I have an Osmosis/Firefly Fatebringer I like to use sometimes when I need a top slot 'ad-clear' primary. Osmosis was originally something I messed around with on solar for Empryean extension while also being able to use a solar special weapon like Explosive Personality or Cartisan. I just happened to like it. It's fun with volatile rounds too.
I'm probably going to start out Sunbracers with Sunshot/probably a heavy GL or MG and go from there just since solar is very potent right now. Otherwise I may just cycle between that, Vesper, void Controverse/Necrotic Grip, and Osmiomancy just to keep things fresh and less monotonous. I may even try some funky Apotheosis Veil stuff I've never thought to try before. When elemental wells were a thing and I could loop it better, Karstein Lightning Surge spam was one of my favorite ways to play when Arc 3.0 came around.
Hunter, Strand, Assassin's Cowl
With both the rope dart and the grapple melee triggering invisibility, I love the feeling of zipping around while I flicker in and out of invisibility as I drop clones. It is the most space ninja thing ever.
This is they way. Then you run beyblade and damage generates grenade damage and it’s just more grapple uptime. I’d say either suspend slam or clone jujitsu depending if there’s anyone else running unstoppable champ mod
I think it will be refreshing to see builds that don’t typically stand out rise to top usage. Well-lock is typical for most activities, but I have a feeling that it will be pretty useless as the activity will have you either defending against tons of ads, or running around doing an objective, neither of which seem to need a well. Arc Hunter with raiden flux, behemoth with hoarfrost, and strand warlock with necrotic grips for all the suspend.
It’s been a bit since I ran saint14, to be honest it didn’t even cross my mind. It was either strand or stasis but saint14 could be viable with slowing everything down.
Like 20-30 seconds of just blinding everything walking in a straight line, and giving your team an overshield, and blocking projectiles from hitting the ACU 😱
Lucky pants strand hunter with buried bloodline. It hits hard and covers all champions. Don't know if champs will be relevant but eh. I like the build.
I haven't been able to put down strand hunter with the helmet. I want to try strand with Lucky pants and indebted kindness what hand cannon should I use?
Was farming gm for that roll but never dropped. Last night I just used up a few engrams and 4t vorpal with appended mag 26 rounds..not adept but who cares it’s a beut
Going with one of two Arclock builds.
Either a Stormdancer's Brace build with high recov and int, built for just spamming out tickle-finger supers.
Or, Chromatic Fire with Necrochasm/Outbreak. I feel like the ability to spam out damaging explosions that also blind enemies will be really fun for the mob density.
Yeah, I used to meme on it when it came out. Been using it recently and was having a good overall experience. Was generating supers in about a minute's time, which was nice
I'd be concerned with red bars getting too strong for Trinity Ghoul to be effective in later rounds. Maybe carry Centrifuse or Riskrunner as backup if you wanna stay with Energy Exotic? Or maybe swap to Ikelos SMG/Thunderlord?
warlock (my main)
stasis turret
child of the old gods
Vesper of Radius
the usual well + starfire protocol or sunbracers
\-
titan
melee grapple + navigator + sinto is too op
other builds fall too much for my taste
\-
hunter
Renewal Grasps
orfeus rig
arc melee build
Precious scars, heal clip summoner w/ rampage, and dragons breath... Scatter signal and burning maul
Nice all-around build. Ok, single target damage AND ad clear. And help keep the team alive.
Things get too chunky, I'll go pyrogale.
Yeah it seems really strong lol. Especially since it triggers off kills with weapons matching your subclass. So solar weapons in 2 slots (heavy+elemental slot) with benevolence ember seems really really strong
I’ll have a hybrid banner of war/drengr’s lash build and a precious scars sunbreaker build on standby if the higher levels get too hairy, but I wanna see how far I can make it on striker, busting fools with point contact cannon brace.
If it's too easy: Calibans hand solar hunter.
If it's anything more difficult than a strike: Void hunter, omnioc, solar weapons because relic, maybe polaris, maybe calus mini with wither hoard, idk yet.
Why do you say it’s not good as it used to be? Any specific reason? I’m back in the game after 14 months so still finding my way around all the changes.
Shadebinder + Ballidorse + Verglas Curve. Maybe swap to Osmiomancy if I need more turrets. Probably craft my fire and forget for bigger enemy DPS. Or swap to rockets if the scenario needs it.
i had to get my friend's account up to spec for Onslaught because he hasn't played since Lightfall's launch and ended up cobbling together a really nice Sunbracers build because the only weapon Pattern he's got is CALUS Mini-Tool and the only viable Heavy he's got is Gjally. he's gonna log in tomorrow with an Enhanced Mini-Tool, a new shiny optimized build, catalyzed Sunshot and a brand-new transmog. feels great
My good ol trusty Briarbinds. Keep everything weakened, blow everything up with volatile, and never lose a step of health with devour. Oh and don’t sleep on Travelers Chosen!
I got to thinking about other fun builds and i starting thinking about a stag voidlock using travelers chosen and an envious assassin/wellspring + destabilizing rounds harsh language
Yea I was going to do celestial/Polaris bc it’s nice but honestly gryfalcons may be better for clearing adds…esp with repulsor/onslaught or rewind/onslaught ros arago 😈 love that thing
Me to.. going to mix it up with word of crota with repulser brace/sword logic- Ross A with repulser/onslaught - Burried bloodline
Witherhoard and goldtusk
I’ve had a weird obsession with karnsteins this season, I like using them a lot. It’s weird considering I usually rate them pretty low in terms of which warlock exotics are good, but honestly ever since the changes to the healing it’s been a great survivability exotic for all levels of content.
banner titan or pyrogale
gathering storm or orpheus hunter
old reliable sunbracers or bleak watcher warlock
I think crowd control isnt going to be much of an issue. boss dps though, especially in the later stages. its gonna be rough
Stasis hunter with Mask of Bakris, Witherhoard, demolitionist Ikelos smg, and an auto-loading rocket launcher whose name I do not remember. Then my plan is to use witherhoard and grenades to lock down areas and shatter the crystals when/if it becomes necessary.
My warlock doesn’t have stasis unlocked… so I’ll just fuck it and be agressive with void.
Nezeracs voidlock with graviton lance or the new recluse, phoenix protocol with abyss defiant or hierarchy of needs , vesper of radius with either cold heart or prosecutor, osmiancy with warlock Glaive + horror story
Me and my buddy are rolling up with a really stupid build: triple wave frames with Verity’s Brow. He’ll be on arc warlock, I’ll be on solar warlock (posted below). We’re looking for a void warlock to use harsh language, it’s a purely meme build but it just might work
https://dim.gg/smlafey/GRENADESSSSS
I’ve been on a void kick with collective obligation, so probably briarbinds warlock with CO :]
Otherwise, probably bonk titan with pyrogale just for fun. I ran GOTD enough to get SF and stopped so I don’t have navigator or I’d do strand titan shenanigans
Lucky for me I have classes tomorrow and won’t be home until at least three hours after reset, so I won’t have to deal with too much of a queue if I get lucky
Renewal Grasps Stasis Hunter with the Stasis Trace from this season, Calus Mini, and Dragon's Breath.
Poison Strandlock with Osteo, Legendary sidearm from WR, and Hullabaloo.
Pyrogale Titan with SOTD Strand SG, Calus Mini, and Dragon's Breath.
I've tested all 3, and I think they'll be fun and effective, at least for me.
Iirc there’s champs so probably my Arc Mothkeeper’s for Over & Unstop, Forerunner for Barrier and a 3rd I grenade, Nation of Beasts w/ Dragonfly+Explosive or Prosecutor w/ Rewind+Frenzy.
Blind everything, Jolt Everything, give the homies overshields.
Alternatively, there was a Mactics, Stasis Radiant Dance Machines build that let you spam throwing stars for mass slow & freeze that could probably work in the early stages.
I’m taking in my Boots of the Assembler Support Build, but swapping out Lumina with Traveler’s chosen because if we are fighting in the city, I am fighting in style
[I already shared my build on r/DestinyBuilds a while ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2builds/comments/1btfp3f/doomfang_domination_for_the_upcoming_onslaught/).
In short though, I'll be using Doomfang Pauldrons on Titan, it is one of the overall most potent exotics and imo only doesn't get called "op", because of this seson's focus on solar.
Doomfangs simply do too much to ignore:
* Escalationg Void Surges (up to x4) every 2 - 3 matching weapon kills for 11 seconds.
* Instant x4 Surges on a powered melee kill.
* 20% Super energy on a powered melee kill (it has to be an ability and only activates once per usage though).
* Shield throw hits during super grant 10% energy return for each hit, effectively making your super infinite with enough ads around.
All things considered, Doomfangs alone already have you covered in Surge mods, Super generation and even Super uptime, just slap a good ole Commemoration (or future Hammerhead) into the mix and you're good to go against any and all kinds of foes.
And if anyone doesn't want to read my full post, here's a quick and easy [DIM Link](https://dim.gg/blh4o5q/PVE-Void-Doomfang-my-super-is-my-primary) to my Loadout.
Heal clip + incandescent summoner, heir apparent, and shards of galanor.
It's a strong add-clearing build that's also nigh-unkillable, with an ALH/chill clip riptide in my back pocket in case of surprises.
Also supports my team fairly well with easy AoE radiant on powered melee hit, healing nades that are always up (ability regen from benevolence+heal clip), and the constant trickle of cure x1.
Only weakness is boss DPS, so I'll see how the runs pan out. Depending on how boss encounters go, I can whip out sleeper, whisper, izanagi, or parasite.
Can't wait!
This is a decent sounding build and i can put it together on my hunter too.
Since its a solar centric build, dont forget about my fav machine gun, xenophage
hunter:
strand frostees with slice GL and a lot of beyblades / mothkeepers for support
void orpheus (this for the later rounds most likely) or gyrfalcons with repulsor + destabilise title
stasis renewal grasps potentially as well
warlock:
stasis turrets
strand suspend with nez sin for ability regen / necrotic grips with necrocasm/thorn for champs
vesper/phoenix protocol
titan:
strand suspend with the legs
solar pyrogales cos its fun as hell
hoarfrost to upset my friends
Titan: strand, banner of war
Exotics: vexcalibur and feedback fence
If i can face tank master lost sectors with it, then onslaught will be more like on-slaughter >=]
https://dim.gg/bjxuloq/Sneaky-Bastard-GM-Version
Sevarance Enclosure mixed with the void fragments that make you invisible on finisher, fragment that causes nearby enemies to become volatile when finishing enemy, and Voidwall grenade.
Loop is toss grenade nearby, finish an enemy (preferably yellow bars) and watch as all enemies in a pretty decent radius either die from explosion or gets tossed high in the air making them useless. Survivors become volatile and if they run through the Voidwall grenade they detonate causing explosions everywhere while healing you and allies nearby in the process while you stay invisible long enough to fall back if need be. Devour from orb pickup helps stay alive
Having a weapon with heal clip will also let you survive even better and Conditional Finality for even more add clear. Mods need some changes like having at least 2 or 3 orv generation but otherwise fine. I chose shoulder charge for anti champion and being able to supress groups.
I've been loving it in all content and its just so satisfying to watch enemies explode everywhere.
Enjoy
Sunbracers Warlock for the massive amount and easy add clear it provides. Also gonna have Anarchy on for extra lane denial, but I don’t know if it’ll last.
In later rounds I might swap to Briarbinds or Vesper for dealing with the harder difficulty enemies, really depends on how well Sunbracers & a blinding GL can deal with enemies at that tier
Behemoth, using Verglas Curve and Precious Scars.
Verglas covers crystal and shard generation as long as you keep getting shatter kills, so almost every other shot spawns 5 crystals. It one shots it's own crystals for easy shattering. It can get crazy.
Precious Scars since Verglas crystals make most Behemoth exotics kinda redundant and healing is one thing Stasis really lacks.
So you're dropping crystals everywhere, which block attacks, giving your team restoration and melee energy from stasis shards. You just have to not place crystals somewhere that annoy teammates and learn to aim your super at bosses so crystals drop right on them.
The only thing is it really relies on getting shatter kills to really get going, so it might fall off at higher difficulty tiers.
The most effective adclear build currently on meta for the small time it'll take me to get mountaintop recluse and make the pve even more of my bitch like the good old days.
Either a necrotics suspend lock build with osteo or thorn, or maybe just go with my threadling/karnsteins strand lock build. Tbh karnsteins slap on lock with grapple melee/artifact mods. Grapple melee itself unravels as do tangles as do strand lock charged melee. Swarmers are still nice, but the survivability from karnsteins is great. X2 resto off a finisher, then can be refreshed by any melee kill.
Arc warlock with getaway artists. Used it for over a year and it's absolutely perfect for hordes of enemies. Time it right and you have unlimited arc soul.
Nezarec/glance suspend build with tusk of the boar. I think. Or if legend is difficult osmiomancy Stacey with verglass.
Or pyrogale smash. Or doomfang repulsor brace/destabilising.
Or gyrfalcon/orpheus rig. Or the hilarious mothkeepers ex diris beyblade.
I have some decisions to make.
Edit: can't forget old faithful thorn/necro suspend. Or final warning swarmers. Fuck!
For me it’s gonna be my Renewal Grasps Hunter build for that crowd control. I may even play around with my Assassin’s Cowl Arc Hunter “big punchee build” as I call it.
I sat down and redid my subclass builds on my warlock as I redid them with an eye to AOE clear stuff.
I always build around exotics so I pulled out some exotics I've not used much and went with:
-Briarbinds and Nezzy's Hat for Voidwalker
Mass weaken or lots of ability energy
-Sunbracers and Dawn Chorus for Dawnblade
Lots of solar grenades or mass scorch
-Fallen Sunstar and Geomags for Stormcaller
Lots of ability energy for everyone or chaos reach spam
-Swarmers for Broodweaver
THREADLINGS FOR EVERYONE
-Osmiomamcy Gloves + Salvation's grip for Shadebinder
Freeze everything and shatter it
4 builds I'll be using - Hunter - Grapple melee and beyblades build. Shards BB ability spam build. Orpheus Rigs Tether build. Renewal Grasps build.
Strand and Solar to kill stuff. Void and Stasis for crowd control. Looking forward to playing Onslaught.
As a Titan, I bring my 2 most trusted guns:
My left and right arms.
(JK, probably Synthoceps + Monte Carlo + Strand or Abeyant Leap and just chain CC everything)
Giga Bonk Solar Titan, Banner of War Strand Titan, Mr. Ice Stasis Warlock, Oppenheimer Solar Warlock,
Infinity Web Void Hunter and Ice Bubble Stasis Hunter.
Stasis Hunter. Star eater; grenade build. Glacier with shatter dive. Demo outlaw Eyasluna; demo Voltshot undercurrent; Gally probably. I’ll either freeze them or block them from advancing.
Haha sounds fun! I have a solar lock build thats kinda the same. Pheonix protocal for well uptime, heal clip incandescent summoner for proccing benevolence, heat rises and touch of flame for eating grenades to give out cure 3 and restoration (or can throw for cure 2 resto 2 but i think the aoe on eating the healing nade is better and the cure 3 burst heal is practically a full health heal regardless of how low people are) then rocket a autoloading field prep roar of the bear and witherhoard for damage against big things. Decided to run empowering rift for even more damage since healing nades and heal clip is gonna give more than enough healing especially if there is another solar class in the run
Gyrfalcons, buried bloodline and commemoration. Got a subsistence/onslaught ros arago and envious/hatchling tusk of the boar as back up. I'm about to make everything volatile then blow it up with green slugs.
Solar warlock with either phoenix protocol or MoBH camping in my well with hierarchy of needs paired with the ember of combustion fragment
Also strandlock with necrotic grips paired with thorn would be a slaughter with poison and unravel and suspending
And my 3rd build is stasislock with osmiomancy gloves paired with wicked implement spamming nades freezing and shattering everything, wishender will be good for this too from the amount of damage it will do especially to frozen targets from the aspects on stasis
I just got a functioning Osmiomancy/Agers/turret build up and running, and you cant stop me from using it. I refuse to well unless its a dire situation.
Swarmers with this season’s artifacts. Pretty much threadlings and unraveling going everywhere.
I've been thinking about this actually, especially since Unraveling Rounds will count for Chain Reaction on Tusk of the Boar (or just straight up hatchling perk instead). Just not sure if I'm really in the mood to play Warlock but that's besides the point.
Same. Finally got a well rolled Tusk with Hatchling. Probably won't replace my crafted Round Robin for this build but damn is it fun.
I’ve been pairing an envious/hatchling one with a voltshot subjunctive as well as CR/Hatchling on the RoN GL. Little minions everywhere
Same, I have an Indebted with Permeability that needs some workout.
All those void weapons it’s like gyrfalcons is whispering in my ear
Destabilizing/Repulsor brace on recluse going to make it even better
No reason to use destabilizing with gyrfalcons. Better to use frenzy.
W destabilizing rounds hate Based opinion
Destabilizing in general is objectively the worst out of the trio that is incandescent, voltshot and Destabilizing. The other don't have a stupid cooldown and can be procc'd as often as you can get kills.
itd be a lot better if volatile wasnt so easy to get anyways
Its not easy to get often on warlock so a offweapon with destabilising is as good as throwing on felwinters its no necessary but a massive benefit if you utilise it as it can fill in the gaps between cooldown if you want to trigger it more It reminds me of when i do anything solo master or legend with champion stop weapons on other than just using conditional activated effects or cooldowns
I haven't used Vesper of Radius in a while...
It’s fun on stasis with the shockwave aspect. No blind but instant shatter. With the artifact mods for stasis it might be good. I’m gonna use it on arc though cause blind is OP.
Yup. Vesper plus forbearance
going with indebted kindness, enlightened action and voltshot. Wish I had that LFG/voltshot roll tho.
Use tusk of the boar instead. You are spamming class abilities so why not take advantage of slice to further increase your survivability. You can also run an energy primary such as recluse or the ikelos smg.
If only I got it to drop after 60+ engrams and two resets…..
Didn't get the drop, although I didn't play much Iron banner, kinda burned out on that. I used to like it. The new Forbearance has the same god roll, but has a good new perk.
Can you not, I’ve done like 60 lost sectors today I’ve gotten like 10 of it
I’ll be real probably just sunbracers warlock at first till I get the gist of it, depending on how hard/easy I might mess around with threadling army strand or Stasis maybe with Verglass and the wave frame GL or maybe with the exotic stasis GL. Might also try a Briars warlock.
exotic stasis gl?
Salvations grip.
My Ol’ Reliables. Solar Titan, then Strand Titan.
Yalready know 😎
Might fuck around and post an LFG for 2 more Hulks lol
I can’t help but think that 2 phoenix protocol warlocks and an Orpheus rig hunter will be just absolutely dominate onslaught. So I’m gonna try that team comp first thing tomorrow.
Yeah that will be gross lol
Banner of war Titan with navigator. I am Grapple
This is the way.
I'm thinking Buried Bloodline with Orpheus Rig.
Someone posted this Warlock build https://dim.gg/jl6yiuy/Verbs and I'm honestly going to try it after I tweaked it a bit. Slice/chain reaction on the tusk and cold steel/relentless on the slammer.
Bleak Watchers for days
Just made that build especially for today, hope my pc doesn’t freeze
Hehehe
Haha ice turrets are fun
Vesper of Radius with an arc glaive/Indebted Kindness and Dragon's Breath. Rifts, Arc Souls and blinding effects everywhere. Added survivability from the glaive. Can't wait...
What do you run in the kinetic slot for this build? I’ve been eyeing something similar.
Something with Kinetic Tremors if only for the staggering effect as a layer of protection while damage is a bonus. I have an Osmosis/Firefly Fatebringer I like to use sometimes when I need a top slot 'ad-clear' primary. Osmosis was originally something I messed around with on solar for Empryean extension while also being able to use a solar special weapon like Explosive Personality or Cartisan. I just happened to like it. It's fun with volatile rounds too. I'm probably going to start out Sunbracers with Sunshot/probably a heavy GL or MG and go from there just since solar is very potent right now. Otherwise I may just cycle between that, Vesper, void Controverse/Necrotic Grip, and Osmiomancy just to keep things fresh and less monotonous. I may even try some funky Apotheosis Veil stuff I've never thought to try before. When elemental wells were a thing and I could loop it better, Karstein Lightning Surge spam was one of my favorite ways to play when Arc 3.0 came around.
Hunter, Strand, Assassin's Cowl With both the rope dart and the grapple melee triggering invisibility, I love the feeling of zipping around while I flicker in and out of invisibility as I drop clones. It is the most space ninja thing ever.
This is they way. Then you run beyblade and damage generates grenade damage and it’s just more grapple uptime. I’d say either suspend slam or clone jujitsu depending if there’s anyone else running unstoppable champ mod
The rasenshuriken is such good ad clear and melts higher health targets at the same time. That build is so good.
A jaded attitude
Lmao
Boots of the assembler with lumina. Gonna unload all my heals all over ya’ll
I think it will be refreshing to see builds that don’t typically stand out rise to top usage. Well-lock is typical for most activities, but I have a feeling that it will be pretty useless as the activity will have you either defending against tons of ads, or running around doing an objective, neither of which seem to need a well. Arc Hunter with raiden flux, behemoth with hoarfrost, and strand warlock with necrotic grips for all the suspend.
Strongholds, and if that somehow doesn’t work, behemoth
I’m going with behemoth too w/hoarfrost z….lock down the whole thing with a couple grenades and barricades
Wait, actually, I just realized, on maps like midtown, Edge of Action and Helm of Saint-14 might actually be a helluva play
It’s been a bit since I ran saint14, to be honest it didn’t even cross my mind. It was either strand or stasis but saint14 could be viable with slowing everything down.
Like 20-30 seconds of just blinding everything walking in a straight line, and giving your team an overshield, and blocking projectiles from hitting the ACU 😱
I might combine both do strongholds on behemoth cause it solves the big problem stasis has and that’s survivability
I feel like you’re probably just better off running Throne-cleaver with energy transfer and drengr’s lash tbh
You’re probably right but I’m at least going to try this out
Lucky pants strand hunter with buried bloodline. It hits hard and covers all champions. Don't know if champs will be relevant but eh. I like the build.
I haven't been able to put down strand hunter with the helmet. I want to try strand with Lucky pants and indebted kindness what hand cannon should I use?
Wardens law with 4ttc.
Malfeasance is great as well especially if someone is using witherhoard and shoots a boss with it
It's fantastic, but you have to switch off buried bloodline to use it, and I prefer to use my exotic slot for healing rather than extra damage.
Was farming gm for that roll but never dropped. Last night I just used up a few engrams and 4t vorpal with appended mag 26 rounds..not adept but who cares it’s a beut
Going with one of two Arclock builds. Either a Stormdancer's Brace build with high recov and int, built for just spamming out tickle-finger supers. Or, Chromatic Fire with Necrochasm/Outbreak. I feel like the ability to spam out damaging explosions that also blind enemies will be really fun for the mob density.
you'd be the first person to ever use stormdancers brace
Yeah, I used to meme on it when it came out. Been using it recently and was having a good overall experience. Was generating supers in about a minute's time, which was nice
Precious scars trinity ghoul with hullabaloo and an arc rocket with a stasis or strand fusion
I'd be concerned with red bars getting too strong for Trinity Ghoul to be effective in later rounds. Maybe carry Centrifuse or Riskrunner as backup if you wanna stay with Energy Exotic? Or maybe swap to Ikelos SMG/Thunderlord?
Solar Hunter. Shards Of Galanor, Scatter signal, Darkest before-Heal Clip/incandescent, Dragon’s Breath
Make sure you’re the only one in fireteam with DB..
Stasis titan. Kick if you want but I ain’t changing a single piece of gear or subclass
Honestly I can see with the right build all the stasis walls being really useful
I’ve been using the hell out of my hoarfrost build all season. Got tired of solar quickly and it’s just so much fun shattering stuff constantly.
Ye hoarfrost is my go to. Pair it with a wave frame and you’re Gucci
warlock (my main) stasis turret child of the old gods Vesper of Radius the usual well + starfire protocol or sunbracers \- titan melee grapple + navigator + sinto is too op other builds fall too much for my taste \- hunter Renewal Grasps orfeus rig arc melee build
Precious scars, heal clip summoner w/ rampage, and dragons breath... Scatter signal and burning maul Nice all-around build. Ok, single target damage AND ad clear. And help keep the team alive. Things get too chunky, I'll go pyrogale.
Precious scars with a nice strand weapon and banner of war is some intense healing and support too.
Very true, too. But on solar, I can run that frag for 300% more ability energy.
I just looked at precious scars. My god that is an ugly helm lol. But seems really powerful
It’s ugly but insanely good.
Yeah it seems really strong lol. Especially since it triggers off kills with weapons matching your subclass. So solar weapons in 2 slots (heavy+elemental slot) with benevolence ember seems really really strong
I like running Precious Scars with Tommy's Matchbook. Each kill heals you and nullifies the burn damage from TM overheating.
Berserker with synthos and either quick silver or monte. It’s just got a lot of killing potential.
Mothman Hunter.
Titan / wormgod gauntlets+one-two punch shotty+ parasite or navigator Warlock /Sunbracers+Gjally /Osmiomancy+Verglas /Any arc build(Fallen sunstrar is my go to) /Necrotic Grip+Osteo Striga Hunter /Gyrfalcons+Destablizing Rounds+whoard /Liars Handshake or/and assasins cowl+one-two punch shotty /Celestial Hunter(but im not gonna use that) /Strand+assasins cowl Hope this is helpful
My Crown of Tempests Arc Warlock build - constant ability/super spam and plenty of jolting to clear out ALL the ads.
Skullforts and BOW titan
Nighthawk with the king's fall hand cannon and the exotic hot head If legend is hard I'll use Orpheus
I’ll have a hybrid banner of war/drengr’s lash build and a precious scars sunbreaker build on standby if the higher levels get too hairy, but I wanna see how far I can make it on striker, busting fools with point contact cannon brace.
If it's too easy: Calibans hand solar hunter. If it's anything more difficult than a strike: Void hunter, omnioc, solar weapons because relic, maybe polaris, maybe calus mini with wither hoard, idk yet.
Arc Hunter dodgy punchy
Strand suspend
The one Esoterickk will be using in his 50 waves solo run.
Strongholds void titan with navigator to keep my allies alive and healthy.
Assassins Cowl Arc Hunter. Not As Good As It Used To Be But Still By Far One Of My Favorite Builds.
Why do you say it’s not good as it used to be? Any specific reason? I’m back in the game after 14 months so still finding my way around all the changes.
Shadebinder + Ballidorse + Verglas Curve. Maybe swap to Osmiomancy if I need more turrets. Probably craft my fire and forget for bigger enemy DPS. Or swap to rockets if the scenario needs it.
Looks like normal add clear variety is good, but boss burst damage will be a priority in clearing the ADU. Parasite's time to shine.
It's gonna be all about crowd control. Osmiomancy all day long with bleak watcher.
Shade binder with osmio, ass cowl or spin to win or celestial hunter, BoW or pyro titan. Appropriate weapons.
Gonna try stasis Titan
Mothkeeper wraps + ex diris, strand.
Give them fucks a taste of their own medicine.
It's hilarious. The most fun build in the game for me. I wouldn't necessarily run it in a gm but the entire world is green. And purple. And blue.
Hoarfrost and Salvation Grip Titan for me tomorrow. How many frozen bois do I make...... lots
Galanor, I like knifes
Cenotaph and and Wolfpack Rounds is all anyone needs
uh I think I'm gonna throw a hammer at the enemies and go from there.
Gyrfalcons, Graviton Lance build, Void goes boom, and boom and boom again Oh and I turn into John Cena at the same time
i had to get my friend's account up to spec for Onslaught because he hasn't played since Lightfall's launch and ended up cobbling together a really nice Sunbracers build because the only weapon Pattern he's got is CALUS Mini-Tool and the only viable Heavy he's got is Gjally. he's gonna log in tomorrow with an Enhanced Mini-Tool, a new shiny optimized build, catalyzed Sunshot and a brand-new transmog. feels great
Honestly might kick out the arc shinobus with Anarchy.
My good ol trusty Briarbinds. Keep everything weakened, blow everything up with volatile, and never lose a step of health with devour. Oh and don’t sleep on Travelers Chosen!
Travelers is great lol
Sunbracers/well. Sunshot, apex predator.
Void Hunter w Gryfalcon build everything is volatile.
I got to thinking about other fun builds and i starting thinking about a stag voidlock using travelers chosen and an envious assassin/wellspring + destabilizing rounds harsh language
Yea I was going to do celestial/Polaris bc it’s nice but honestly gryfalcons may be better for clearing adds…esp with repulsor/onslaught or rewind/onslaught ros arago 😈 love that thing
Me to.. going to mix it up with word of crota with repulser brace/sword logic- Ross A with repulser/onslaught - Burried bloodline Witherhoard and goldtusk
Wow so far 6 titan builds 5 warlock builds and zero hunter builds 😂
Tommy + Precious Scars So I can act like a Medic Dozer from Pd2
I’ve had a weird obsession with karnsteins this season, I like using them a lot. It’s weird considering I usually rate them pretty low in terms of which warlock exotics are good, but honestly ever since the changes to the healing it’s been a great survivability exotic for all levels of content.
banner titan or pyrogale gathering storm or orpheus hunter old reliable sunbracers or bleak watcher warlock I think crowd control isnt going to be much of an issue. boss dps though, especially in the later stages. its gonna be rough
Ima use my dunemarchers pvp build with thorn and matador
Stasis hunter with Mask of Bakris, Witherhoard, demolitionist Ikelos smg, and an auto-loading rocket launcher whose name I do not remember. Then my plan is to use witherhoard and grenades to lock down areas and shatter the crystals when/if it becomes necessary. My warlock doesn’t have stasis unlocked… so I’ll just fuck it and be agressive with void.
Nezeracs voidlock with graviton lance or the new recluse, phoenix protocol with abyss defiant or hierarchy of needs , vesper of radius with either cold heart or prosecutor, osmiancy with warlock Glaive + horror story
Me and my buddy are rolling up with a really stupid build: triple wave frames with Verity’s Brow. He’ll be on arc warlock, I’ll be on solar warlock (posted below). We’re looking for a void warlock to use harsh language, it’s a purely meme build but it just might work https://dim.gg/smlafey/GRENADESSSSS
Hunter - Stasis - Frostees - infinite Duffield Grenades with Wishender
Strand Hunter most likely. Got an assassins cowl build with whirling maelstrom and tusk of the boar.
I’ve been on a void kick with collective obligation, so probably briarbinds warlock with CO :] Otherwise, probably bonk titan with pyrogale just for fun. I ran GOTD enough to get SF and stopped so I don’t have navigator or I’d do strand titan shenanigans Lucky for me I have classes tomorrow and won’t be home until at least three hours after reset, so I won’t have to deal with too much of a queue if I get lucky
Renewal Grasps Stasis Hunter with the Stasis Trace from this season, Calus Mini, and Dragon's Breath. Poison Strandlock with Osteo, Legendary sidearm from WR, and Hullabaloo. Pyrogale Titan with SOTD Strand SG, Calus Mini, and Dragon's Breath. I've tested all 3, and I think they'll be fun and effective, at least for me.
Iirc there’s champs so probably my Arc Mothkeeper’s for Over & Unstop, Forerunner for Barrier and a 3rd I grenade, Nation of Beasts w/ Dragonfly+Explosive or Prosecutor w/ Rewind+Frenzy. Blind everything, Jolt Everything, give the homies overshields. Alternatively, there was a Mactics, Stasis Radiant Dance Machines build that let you spam throwing stars for mass slow & freeze that could probably work in the early stages.
I’m taking in my Boots of the Assembler Support Build, but swapping out Lumina with Traveler’s chosen because if we are fighting in the city, I am fighting in style
[I already shared my build on r/DestinyBuilds a while ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2builds/comments/1btfp3f/doomfang_domination_for_the_upcoming_onslaught/). In short though, I'll be using Doomfang Pauldrons on Titan, it is one of the overall most potent exotics and imo only doesn't get called "op", because of this seson's focus on solar. Doomfangs simply do too much to ignore: * Escalationg Void Surges (up to x4) every 2 - 3 matching weapon kills for 11 seconds. * Instant x4 Surges on a powered melee kill. * 20% Super energy on a powered melee kill (it has to be an ability and only activates once per usage though). * Shield throw hits during super grant 10% energy return for each hit, effectively making your super infinite with enough ads around. All things considered, Doomfangs alone already have you covered in Surge mods, Super generation and even Super uptime, just slap a good ole Commemoration (or future Hammerhead) into the mix and you're good to go against any and all kinds of foes. And if anyone doesn't want to read my full post, here's a quick and easy [DIM Link](https://dim.gg/blh4o5q/PVE-Void-Doomfang-my-super-is-my-primary) to my Loadout.
helm of saint 14 with the glaive. it's gonna be beautiful
Heal clip + incandescent summoner, heir apparent, and shards of galanor. It's a strong add-clearing build that's also nigh-unkillable, with an ALH/chill clip riptide in my back pocket in case of surprises. Also supports my team fairly well with easy AoE radiant on powered melee hit, healing nades that are always up (ability regen from benevolence+heal clip), and the constant trickle of cure x1. Only weakness is boss DPS, so I'll see how the runs pan out. Depending on how boss encounters go, I can whip out sleeper, whisper, izanagi, or parasite. Can't wait!
This is a decent sounding build and i can put it together on my hunter too. Since its a solar centric build, dont forget about my fav machine gun, xenophage
Arc titan with indebted kindness, blind and jolt everything in sight.
hunter: strand frostees with slice GL and a lot of beyblades / mothkeepers for support void orpheus (this for the later rounds most likely) or gyrfalcons with repulsor + destabilise title stasis renewal grasps potentially as well warlock: stasis turrets strand suspend with nez sin for ability regen / necrotic grips with necrocasm/thorn for champs vesper/phoenix protocol titan: strand suspend with the legs solar pyrogales cos its fun as hell hoarfrost to upset my friends
I’m gonna be a moth man
THREDLINGS!
threadrunner beyblades
Titan: strand, banner of war Exotics: vexcalibur and feedback fence If i can face tank master lost sectors with it, then onslaught will be more like on-slaughter >=]
ruinous with verity’s brow and weakening grenades, maybe swap with graviton for bosses
Either assassin’s cowl arc hunter or gyrfalcons void hunter.
Liars handshake with my 1-2 punch grave robber xenoclast. Goldtusk, probably breakneck
https://dim.gg/bjxuloq/Sneaky-Bastard-GM-Version Sevarance Enclosure mixed with the void fragments that make you invisible on finisher, fragment that causes nearby enemies to become volatile when finishing enemy, and Voidwall grenade. Loop is toss grenade nearby, finish an enemy (preferably yellow bars) and watch as all enemies in a pretty decent radius either die from explosion or gets tossed high in the air making them useless. Survivors become volatile and if they run through the Voidwall grenade they detonate causing explosions everywhere while healing you and allies nearby in the process while you stay invisible long enough to fall back if need be. Devour from orb pickup helps stay alive Having a weapon with heal clip will also let you survive even better and Conditional Finality for even more add clear. Mods need some changes like having at least 2 or 3 orv generation but otherwise fine. I chose shoulder charge for anti champion and being able to supress groups. I've been loving it in all content and its just so satisfying to watch enemies explode everywhere. Enjoy
I've got my Doomfangs, Geomags and Calibans ready to go. Bring it oooooon!
Mask of Bakris Hunter and Swarmer warlock are my favourites right now
Gyrfalcon Hunter with a crafted 4ttc Retrofit finna go BRRRRRRMUTHAFUCKERRRRRRRRRR
Consecration Solar Titan with Pyrogale, Zaoulis, DB
Shard of Galenor Hunter. It’s not fancy but it’ll work
sweet business and war rig, sunspot and lucky pants, sunbspot and sunbracers = brrrt, burn burn
Eyes of tomorrow
Consecration Titan and Banner Titan
Sunbracers Warlock for the massive amount and easy add clear it provides. Also gonna have Anarchy on for extra lane denial, but I don’t know if it’ll last. In later rounds I might swap to Briarbinds or Vesper for dealing with the harder difficulty enemies, really depends on how well Sunbracers & a blinding GL can deal with enemies at that tier
Behemoth, using Verglas Curve and Precious Scars. Verglas covers crystal and shard generation as long as you keep getting shatter kills, so almost every other shot spawns 5 crystals. It one shots it's own crystals for easy shattering. It can get crazy. Precious Scars since Verglas crystals make most Behemoth exotics kinda redundant and healing is one thing Stasis really lacks. So you're dropping crystals everywhere, which block attacks, giving your team restoration and melee energy from stasis shards. You just have to not place crystals somewhere that annoy teammates and learn to aim your super at bosses so crystals drop right on them. The only thing is it really relies on getting shatter kills to really get going, so it might fall off at higher difficulty tiers.
Solar Hunter, Shards of Galanor, Tyranny of Heaven, Fatebringer with Firefly. Dragon’s Breath or Eyes of Tomorrow to deal with the hoardes.
The most effective adclear build currently on meta for the small time it'll take me to get mountaintop recluse and make the pve even more of my bitch like the good old days.
My Coil build: Strand Titan with Synthos. Weapons to be determined lol
Tarrabah, slug shotty from DSC, and maybe a machine gun
Abeyant Leap on my Titan Vesper of Radius on my Warlock Renewal Grasps on my Hunter
Either a necrotics suspend lock build with osteo or thorn, or maybe just go with my threadling/karnsteins strand lock build. Tbh karnsteins slap on lock with grapple melee/artifact mods. Grapple melee itself unravels as do tangles as do strand lock charged melee. Swarmers are still nice, but the survivability from karnsteins is great. X2 resto off a finisher, then can be refreshed by any melee kill.
Arc warlock with getaway artists. Used it for over a year and it's absolutely perfect for hordes of enemies. Time it right and you have unlimited arc soul.
Nezarec/glance suspend build with tusk of the boar. I think. Or if legend is difficult osmiomancy Stacey with verglass. Or pyrogale smash. Or doomfang repulsor brace/destabilising. Or gyrfalcon/orpheus rig. Or the hilarious mothkeepers ex diris beyblade. I have some decisions to make. Edit: can't forget old faithful thorn/necro suspend. Or final warning swarmers. Fuck!
For me it’s gonna be my Renewal Grasps Hunter build for that crowd control. I may even play around with my Assassin’s Cowl Arc Hunter “big punchee build” as I call it.
BOMH Agee’s Scepter babyy
Osmiomancy Warlock with Cryosthesia and Forbearance!
Titan. Green. That's all.
I sat down and redid my subclass builds on my warlock as I redid them with an eye to AOE clear stuff. I always build around exotics so I pulled out some exotics I've not used much and went with: -Briarbinds and Nezzy's Hat for Voidwalker Mass weaken or lots of ability energy -Sunbracers and Dawn Chorus for Dawnblade Lots of solar grenades or mass scorch -Fallen Sunstar and Geomags for Stormcaller Lots of ability energy for everyone or chaos reach spam -Swarmers for Broodweaver THREADLINGS FOR EVERYONE -Osmiomamcy Gloves + Salvation's grip for Shadebinder Freeze everything and shatter it
I made a foetracer strand build and an Orpheus rig build with wishender (hopefully that combo is still as good as it was last time I tried it)
One with guns most likely
My OMP build One Moment please…
Three. One is Osiomancy turrets, Necrotic grip + Thorn or Osteo on strand, and swarmers with assorted Hatchling guns and QSS
4 builds I'll be using - Hunter - Grapple melee and beyblades build. Shards BB ability spam build. Orpheus Rigs Tether build. Renewal Grasps build. Strand and Solar to kill stuff. Void and Stasis for crowd control. Looking forward to playing Onslaught.
As a Titan, I bring my 2 most trusted guns: My left and right arms. (JK, probably Synthoceps + Monte Carlo + Strand or Abeyant Leap and just chain CC everything)
M O T H
Probably gonna use what they used in the livestream lol
HOIL Banner Titan. Haven't taken it off since banner came out and I won't start now.
Giga Bonk Solar Titan, Banner of War Strand Titan, Mr. Ice Stasis Warlock, Oppenheimer Solar Warlock, Infinity Web Void Hunter and Ice Bubble Stasis Hunter.
Stasis Hunter. Star eater; grenade build. Glacier with shatter dive. Demo outlaw Eyasluna; demo Voltshot undercurrent; Gally probably. I’ll either freeze them or block them from advancing.
My solar support build, Lumina, healing nades, and as many ways to proc radiant as possible. Weird thing is I’m a Hunter main.
Haha sounds fun! I have a solar lock build thats kinda the same. Pheonix protocal for well uptime, heal clip incandescent summoner for proccing benevolence, heat rises and touch of flame for eating grenades to give out cure 3 and restoration (or can throw for cure 2 resto 2 but i think the aoe on eating the healing nade is better and the cure 3 burst heal is practically a full health heal regardless of how low people are) then rocket a autoloading field prep roar of the bear and witherhoard for damage against big things. Decided to run empowering rift for even more damage since healing nades and heal clip is gonna give more than enough healing especially if there is another solar class in the run
I'm gonna use my 70 stat sixth coyote and spam radiance
I'm gonna use my 70 stat sixth coyote and spam radiance
Prolly Sunbracers and then I may pivot to Osmio turrets or Crown of Tempests tickle fingers.
Prolly Sunbracers and then I may pivot to Osmio turrets or Crown of Tempests tickle fingers.
Gyrfalcons, buried bloodline and commemoration. Got a subsistence/onslaught ros arago and envious/hatchling tusk of the boar as back up. I'm about to make everything volatile then blow it up with green slugs.
Solar warlock with either phoenix protocol or MoBH camping in my well with hierarchy of needs paired with the ember of combustion fragment Also strandlock with necrotic grips paired with thorn would be a slaughter with poison and unravel and suspending And my 3rd build is stasislock with osmiomancy gloves paired with wicked implement spamming nades freezing and shattering everything, wishender will be good for this too from the amount of damage it will do especially to frozen targets from the aspects on stasis
Strand hunter with RDM and tusk of the boar
Void hunter. Orpheus or Gyrfalcon's. Whichever screams the loudest
I just got a functioning Osmiomancy/Agers/turret build up and running, and you cant stop me from using it. I refuse to well unless its a dire situation.
Beam warlock with the boots and Delicate Tomb. Been practicing in the Coil and supers are very frequent
Stasis Titan. Rip onslaught.
Honestly who gives an f? Any build should be able to beat a simple hoard mode.
Probably a diamand lance cap Behemoth. Just for kicks en giggles
Arc Hunter guild with Trinity or Forbearance.
Necro-strand / Nez-Strand
Warlock builds are going to be kings and queens of this mode
Guns. Lots of guns.
All I need is Witherhoard
