Introduction
In this guide, we will be discussing a powerful build for Destiny 2 that focuses on maximizing grenade regeneration, weakening targets, and stunning champions. With the right combination of super abilities, weapon choices, and armor mods, you'll be able to dominate the game with ease. Whether you're looking to clear waves of enemies or take on challenging end-game content, this build will give you the tools you need to come out on top. So let's dive in and see what this build has to offer!
Super and Abilities
To start off, we'll be using the Nova Bomb super, specifically the Vortex variant. While you can choose any super you prefer, the Vortex Nova Bomb works exceptionally well with this build. For your class ability, we recommend using the empowering Rift. This will increase your weapon damage while inside the Rift, giving you an additional advantage against enemies. Lastly, our main focus will be on the Void grenade, specifically the Vortex grenade. This will be the key ability for clearing ads efficiently and causing chaos on the battlefield.
Class Ability
The empowering Rift class ability is a game-changer for this build. By activating the Rift, you'll not only provide increased weapon damage for yourself but also for any allies within its vicinity. This means you'll be dealing even more damage while clearing ads or taking down tough enemies. The ability synergizes perfectly with the rest of the build, making it an essential choice.
Void Grenade
The Vortex grenade will be your go-to ability for ad-clearing. With the Chaos Accelerant aspect, this grenade gains increased size and duration, ensuring that it lasts even longer on the battlefield. The larger vortex created by the grenade will cover more area, dealing damage to multiple enemies at once. This will make short work of any groups of ads, allowing you to focus on tougher targets.
Aspects for the Build
For this build, we'll be utilizing the Chaos Accelerant aspect to enhance the Vortex grenade even further. With this aspect, the grenade will create a larger vortex that lasts longer, increasing its overall effectiveness. This will make it easier to clear ads and deal damage to multiple targets simultaneously. The Chaos Accelerant aspect is a must-have for this build, as it significantly amplifies the power of your Void grenades.
Fragments
To further enhance this build, we'll be using specific fragments that synergize well with our playstyle. The first fragment is Echo of Undermining, which weakens targets and creates an orb of power and a Void breach when defeating a weakened target. This fragment allows you to weaken enemies, making them easier to kill while also providing additional benefits. However, it does come with a slight trade-off of reducing your discipline stat.
The second void fragment, called Feed the Void, grants you survivability and health regeneration. Whenever you get a Void ability kill, it activates Devour, which not only improves your health but also grants grenade energy. This fragment is crucial for keeping yourself alive in tough encounters and maintaining a steady supply of grenades.
The third void fragment allows you to increase the duration of your Vortex grenade even further. This means that your grenade will last even longer on the battlefield, causing more damage and providing better area control. With this fragment, you'll be able to hold off enemies and clear ads efficiently.
Lastly, we have the volatile rounds fragment, which benefits from using your Void weapon. Whenever you get a grenade kill, it grants volatile rounds to your Void weapon and provides a boost to your strength stat. Volatile rounds not only allow you to deal extra damage but also grant the ability to stun anti-barrier champions. While the weapon we'll be using for this build doesn't require anti-barrier rounds, the ability to stun champions is still a valuable asset.
Exotic Armor Piece
For our exotic armor piece, we'll be using the Contraverse Holds gauntlets. These gauntlets provide damage resistance while charging your grenade and grant a significant increase in grenade regeneration rate upon hitting enemies with grenades. The 20% damage resist and the 2,000% increased grenade regeneration rate will make your Void grenades even more powerful. These gauntlets synergize perfectly with the rest of the build, allowing you to continuously throw grenades and wreak havoc on your enemies.
Kinetic Weapon
In terms of weapons, we'll be using the Strand Fusion Rifle as our kinetic option. This weapon allows you to proc Sever Rad Lings and Unraveling Rounds, providing additional damage and utility for the build. With the Slice and Controlled Burst perks, your Fusion Rifle will deal increased damage over time and proc Unraveling Rounds. Unraveling Rounds, in turn, will occasionally spawn Thread Lings that can assist in clearing ads and dealing damage to enemies.
Energy Weapon
For our energy weapon, we'll be using a primary Void bow with the Repulsor Brace perk. This perk grants you an overshield whenever you defeat a Void debuffed target, providing additional survivability in combat. The second perk, Golden Tricorn, increases your damage when you get a final blow with the bow and grants a damage buff for grenade or melee final blows of the same type. This perk allows you to deal even more damage, making your bow shots more lethal.
Seasonal Artifact Mods
To further enhance our build, we'll be utilizing several seasonal artifact mods. The first mod, Radiant Wellspring, allows you to proc Radi with rapid solar weapon kills. Proccing Radi will grant increased grenade regeneration rate, enhancing our ability to continuously throw grenades. This mod works especially well with the Dragon's Breath rocket launcher, which we'll discuss later.
Additionally, we'll be equipping Overload Rocket Launchers to deal with overload champions. These mods significantly increase the damage to rocket launchers when dealing damage to overload champions, giving us an advantage in tough encounters. The combination of the Radiant Wellspring and Overload Rocket Launcher mods will ensure that you can take down tough champions efficiently.
We'll also be utilizing the Origin Perk Specialization 2 mod, which further improves the benefits provided by the Dragon's Vengeance weapon. As we'll be using both the Strand Fusion Rifle and Dragon's Breath, this mod will grant us additional bonuses, increasing our overall effectiveness in combat.
Lastly, we have the Blast Radius mod, which grants armor charges for rapid final blows with rocket launchers and grenade launchers. This mod will allow us to generate armor charges more quickly, further improving our ability to throw grenades and use our abilities frequently.
Armor Mods
For our armor mods, we'll be selecting mods that complement our build and playstyle. Starting with the helmet, we have Harmonic Siphon, which creates an orb of power on rapid void weapon final blows. This mod synergizes well with our ability to throw grenades frequently, allowing us to generate orbs for our allies.
Next, we have Heavy Ammo Finder, which increases the drop chance of heavy ammo on kill. As we'll be using the Dragon's Breath rocket launcher, this mod will ensure that we have a consistent supply of heavy ammo, allowing us to utilize the weapon to its fullest potential.
Ashes to Assets is another essential mod for this build, as it grants bonus super energy on grenade kills. Since we'll be relying heavily on our grenades, this mod will help us charge our super faster, allowing us to use our Nova Bomb more frequently.
The gauntlets are where things get interesting. By equipping two Firepower mods, we can effectively reduce the cooldown of our grenades significantly. With two Firepower mods, the cooldown will be reduced to 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds. This means we'll be able to throw grenades more frequently, creating more chaos on the battlefield.
To further enhance our grenade production, we'll be using the Grenade Kickstart mod. This mod allows us to convert armor charges into grenade energy. With this mod, the more armor charges we have, the more grenade energy we'll receive. This synergizes perfectly with our Firepower mods and increases our overall grenade output.
Moving on to the chest armor, we'll be using Harmonic Resistance and Arc Resistance mods. These mods reduce damage from enemies dealing Arc or Void damage, providing additional survivability in combat. By minimizing the amount of damage we take, we can stay in the fight longer and deal with threats more effectively.
The Charged Up mod will benefit us greatly by increasing the maximum number of stacks of armor charges we can carry by one. This allows us to have four stacks of armor charges instead of three, granting us additional flexibility and grenade energy.
For the boots, we have Elemental Charge, which grants an escalating chance to gain an armor charge when collecting a Void breach or Fire Sprite. Since we'll be utilizing Void breaches and Fire Sprites for additional benefits and grenade energy, this mod will help us generate more armor charges and enhance our overall survivability.
The second mod we'll be using on our boots is Innovation, which reduces the grenade cooldown each time we pick up an orb of power. As we'll be generating numerous orbs of power throughout the game, this mod will help us reduce the cooldown on our grenades, allowing us to throw them more frequently.
Finally, for the Warlock bond, we have two mods: Bomber and Powerful Attraction. Bomber reduces the grenade cooldown when activating our Rift, further enhancing the frequency at which we can throw grenades. Powerful Attraction, on the other hand, allows us to collect more orbs of power by activating our Rift. This mod is useful for charging our super and enhancing our overall abilities.
Conclusion
With this powerful build, you'll have an arsenal of abilities, weapons, and armor mods that synergize perfectly to create chaos on the battlefield. From the devastating Nova Bomb super to the continuous barrage of Void grenades, you'll be able to dominate any encounter in Destiny 2. Whether you're clearing ads or taking on tough champions, this build provides the tools you need to come out on top. So dive in, experiment with the build, and unleash your explosive power!
