Destiny 2 Warlock BuildMega Strand Prismatic Swarmers Warlock!

We're entering the final months of Heresy, and if you’re looking to dominate the battlefield, this build is going to carry you through the chaos.

This is more than just powerful — it’s optimized to take full advantage of our current seasonal artifact, the Prismatic subclass, and the Swarmer exotic boots.

Let’s break it all down — because what we’re crafting here is a glowing army of green rats… that melts rooms, shreds bosses, and shrugs off incoming damage like it’s nothing.

[SECTION 1: BUILD OVERVIEW]

So, what makes this build so deadly?

We’re combining:

✅ Prismatic Strand Warlock ✅ The Swarmer exotic boots (not the class item variant — the original boots) ✅ New artifact mods that supercharge our synergy ✅ And the Tessellation exotic fusion rifle

This thing hits hard — I'd put it on par with Getaway Artist Prismatic builds — maybe even stronger in the right hands.

[SECTION 2: THREADLINGS = GREEN MINIONS OF DEATH]

Here’s the core of the fun: With Swarmers, destroying Tangles spawns 2 Threadlings.

And Threadlings? These little guys are monsters.

🟢 338 base damage on spawn 🟢 Auto-target nearby enemies 🟢 If there’s no one to kill, they return to you (up to 5 stored) 🟢 Apply Unravel with Swarmers equipped

And Unravel? Oh boy...

It deals damage-over-time, applies debuffs, and spreads to other enemies like wildfire. That’s 3 strand needles per enemy, each hitting for 29 base damage, twice per second — and it stacks.

Rooms vanish. Champions buckle. Bosses get bullied.

[SECTION 3: THE SYNERGY MACHINE]

Our artifact mods and Prismatic subclass take this to a whole new level.

We’re generating:

💥 More Tangles 💥 More Threadlings 💥 Woven Mail on demand (that’s 45% damage resistance) 💥 Sever debuffs to cut enemy damage output by 40% 💥 Transcendence to boost all abilities

It’s a loop of destruction and survivability.

You’re tanky. You’re deadly. You’re radiant. Literally.

[SECTION 4: DEVOUR, RADIANCE & THREADLING SPAM]

With Feed the Void, we get Devour on ability kills — including kills from Threadlings, Tangles, and abilities.

That means:

❤️ Full health on every kill ⚡ Bonus grenade energy (up to 20%) 🐀 Even more Threadlings with our Threadling Grenade

And we’re pairing it all with the Tessellation exotic.

[SECTION 5: THE TESSELLATION – POWERHOUSE WEAPON SYNERGY]

Tessellation might be the best exotic pairing for this build.

🔋 Generates 20% grenade energy on each kill ⚡ Consumes your grenade for a 3,000 base damage blast 💥 Causes AoE Sever on explosion 💣 One-shotting mini-bosses with ease

It's like firing a green mini-nuke every few seconds.

[SECTION 6: MODS & WEAPON SUPPORT]

To keep the loop going, we’re using:

Grenade Kickstart for regen

Siphon mods, Heavy Handed, and Reaper to make Orbs of Power

Unraveling Orbs mod to give our Strand weapons barrier-piercing rounds

Horde Shuttle, To Shreds, and Vile Weave to trigger extra Threadlings, Unravel, and Sever effects constantly

And for even more synergy:

Facet of Dawn: Radiance on melee hits

Facet of Awakening: Elemental pickups = more Tangles

Facet of Purpose: Woven Mail from Orbs

Facet of Devotion: Builds Light energy for Transcendence

The whole thing runs like a well-oiled machine, shredding through endgame content and champion mods with ease.

[SECTION 7: OTHER WEAPON RECOMMENDATIONS]

Tessellation is our MVP, but there’s room to experiment:

🎯 Wish-Keeper: Amazing for suspending and stunning Unstoppables 🎯 Baroque-Dyad, The Navigator, Final Warning, Euphony — all solid choices 🎯 Legendary Strand weapons with Hatchling, Tear, or Slice are ideal 🎯 Refusal to the Call works great with No Bell and Hold the Line for glaive synergy 🎯 Heavy Machine Guns like Circular Logic or Pro Memoria benefit heavily from artifact mods this season
