How It Works

Speaker's Sight and Tommy's Matchbook can create a powerful synergy on a Solar 3.0 Warlock build in Destiny 2: Final Shape. Here's how these two exotics work together and how to maximize their potential on a Solar subclass:

  1. Speaker’s Sight: Empowering the Prismatic Subclass The Speaker’s Sight exotic helmet focuses on amplifying your abilities and enhancing survivability through energy regeneration and ability buffs. Specifically, it works well with Solar subclasses by creating a healing turret that continously heals you and allies.

  2. Tommy’s Matchbook: Sustained Damage with Risk-Reward Tommy’s Matchbook is an exotic Solar auto rifle known for its high rate of fire and damage ramp-up with the Ignition Trigger perk. Holding down the trigger causes the weapon to overheat, increasing damage but also causing self-inflicted burn damage. This risk-reward mechanic can be tricky, but pairing it with the right abilities and exotics mitigates its drawbacks.

  3. Synergy: Speaker’s Sight and Tommy’s Matchbook Speaker’s Sight makes Tommy's Matchbook even more deadly on a Solar 3.0 Warlock. Here’s why:

Enhanced Solar Weapon Damage: Defeating enemies with Tommy’s Matchbook triggers Speaker’s Sight’s perk, enhancing ability regeneration and boosting your overall Solar energy output. This synergy allows you to spam abilities like grenades and melee more frequently while keeping up the heat with Tommy’s Matchbook.

Healing and Damage Mitigation: One of the drawbacks of Tommy’s Matchbook is its self-burn effect while firing for extended periods. However, on a Solar Warlock with abilities like Healing Grenade or Phoenix Dive, you can counteract the burn damage by healing yourself in the middle of combat. Feed the Void (for Devour) or Well of Radiance can also provide healing while dealing damage, making Tommy’s burn effect less of a threat.

Faster Ability Recharge: Speaker’s Sight rewards you with increased ability regeneration when defeating enemies with Solar weapons like Tommy’s Matchbook. This means that while you're dealing damage with the auto rifle, your class abilities (grenades, melees, rifts) come back faster, allowing for better ability uptime.

  1. Playstyle: Aggressive Auto Rifle Play: With Tommy’s Matchbook, your playstyle becomes aggressive, focusing on sustained fire to increase damage while relying on Speaker’s Sight for constant ability regeneration. Using healing abilities and staying mobile with Icarus Dash ensures that you survive while Tommy’s burn effect is active.

Constant Healing and Restoration: By combining Speaker's Sight with the healing benefits of Solar 3.0, you maintain both high damage output and resilience in battle. Healing Grenades, Phoenix Dive, and Well of Radiance provide consistent restoration, allowing you to safely leverage Tommy’s Matchbook’s self-damage mechanic.

  1. Key Benefits of the Build: Sustained Damage Output: Tommy’s Matchbook provides high damage output when held down, and Speaker’s Sight enhances your abilities to keep the fight going.

High Ability Uptime: The synergy between Solar 3.0 and Speaker’s Sight ensures your grenades, melees, and rift are always recharging, giving you more tools to stay alive and deal damage. Self-Sustainability: By using healing abilities, Phoenix Dive, and Well of Radiance, you can mitigate the burn damage from Tommy’s Matchbook while still maximizing your damage potential.
