Destiny 2 Hunter BuildErgo Sum, Arc Conductor/Wave Frame + Inmost/Cyrt

This cloak has basically become the go-to generalist cloak for most prismatic hunter setups.

Inmost Light ensures that we have a lot of ability uptime. The build relies on the Melee for Radiance and Slows. Grenades for Cyrtarachne Woven Mail, damage, and AoE clear. Class ability for more slows/freeze, refund melee, as well as scoop up nearby orbs for sustain via Powerful Attraction in the boots.

Cyrtarachne is an essential layer of our defenses. When paired with Gunpowder Gamble + Inmost Light regen, we're able to have effectively 100% uptime of Woven Mail in combat, especially while Prismatic in single target situations.

1. Facet of Purpose - Picking up an Orb of Power will grant us Void Overshield with a Void Super equipped. This Overshield not only provides us with extra HP and Damage Reduction, but it also protects health recovery from being interrupted while active. In combination with Better Already in our boots, we start health recovery on Orb pickup, that will be protected by the Void overshields to prevent it from being interrupted. Important note Swap Better Already for Recuperation if you're playing in the Frontier, as Health Recovery sources are disabled here.

2. Facet of Ruin - Increases the size of our Shatters and Ignitions. Gunpowder Gamble size increase is very welcomed, especially paired with the buff it received at the start of Renegades. We also do a fairly decent amount of shatters/freezes between the Dodge, our Melee, and Prismatic Grenades. The +10 to the weapon stat is very welcomed as well.

3. Facet of Dominence - Personally, I find the Arcbolt Grenade to be the best Hunter grenade on Prismatic in terms of AoE impact (Not including GPG). This Fragment ensures that we can knock out a whole cluster of enemies with our grenade, giving us a full GPG stack for another grenade, as well as giving us easy access to Amplified on the build. It's well worth the -10 Grenade stat.

4. Facet of Protection - Very straightforward DR buff when surrounded, which we plan on being most of the time. 15% baseline, bumped up to 25% while prismatic. +10 to melee stat certainly helps out.

5. Facet of Dawn - Honestly the main reason to me why Inmost Light is so valuable. Radiance provides 20% additional weapon damage for 5 seconds. We will be weaving our melee attacks into our combos constantly for this to have high uptime during DPS phases.

1. Gunpowder Gamble - Not only does this help our add clear and damage output, but it provides us with an alternative grenade to use to activate Cyrtarachne, as well as generate an orb on kill via Firepower in our Arm slot. It has been updated to not require elemental debuffs, or kills with solar weapons to activate. However it does build stacks twice as quickly on ability kills, so our Arcbolt Grenade and Withering Blade spam builds charges even faster.

2. Winter's Shroud - Winter's Shroud is an essential part of this builds ability loop engine and survival. When we dodge, we will slow nearby enemies reducing their damage output by 50% for 4 seconds. Since we're taking Gambler's Dodge, we will refund our Withering Blade on dodge as well, giving us the option to freeze an enemy with Dodge/Melee. Whenever we slow an enemy, we get increased class ability energy as well. So our dodge, and melee both refund energy to our dodge, keeping them in a constant feedback loop.

Gamblers Dodge - Essential to our ability loop and consistent access to Radiant. Getting our Melee back on Dodge is really crucial to this builds ability spam/damage output.

Triple Jump - Totally personal preference. Blink works really well with this setup as well if you enjoy using it, I personally do not.

Withering Blade - The slow from this paired with Winter's Shroud gives us access to freeze. Frozen enemies take more damage from Special/Heavy ammo weapons, so our Ergo Heavy attack into a frozen target is very potent. Also provides more class energy via Winter's Shrouds passive as well, feeding our ability loop.

Arcbolt Grenade - With Facet of Dominance, we get access to Jolt for Amplified, and an additional Overload stun. The AoE clear potential of this ability basically gives us a free GPG grenade after each activation. Great synergy for both Cyrtarachne uptime, and Inmost Light stacks for even more ability looping.

Shadowshot: Deadfall - Yet another thing buffed at the start of Renegades. Up to 35% weaken (up from 30%) to bump up our damage during boss phases, or to clear a pack of majors. We need the Void ultimate to get access to Void Overshields via Facet of Purpose, which also enables the Artifact Perks related to Void Buffs/Weaken/Devour.

Head - x2 Special Ammo Finder, x1 Kinetic/Arc Siphon (Enabled via Artifact) - Two Special Ammo finders to ensure we're keeping our Ergo Sum topped off. The LMG can always be used to generate more bricks in a pinch. The Kinetic/Arc Siphon gives us more orb generation for sustain.

Hands - x1 Heavy Handed, x1 Firepower, x1 Bolstering Detonation - Orb generation for ability kills, and class ability back on grenade damage. Between Inmost light ability spam, and GPG going off, we should activate this very often to feed our ability loop further.

Chest - x1 Arc Ammo Generation, x1 Lucent Blades, x1 Concussive Dampener - Ammo gen for our Arc Weapons to keep us topped off. One Lucent Blades + Sword Master's Guard enables us to perform Light + Light + Heavy Attack combos on the sword outside of Prismatic Form. Concussive Dampener is the single best survival chest mod for a melee setup.

Legs - x1 Better Already, x1 Weapons Font, x1 Arc Weapon Surge - Better already provides us with health recovery on orb pickup, since we also gain Void Overshield on orb pickup the Shield will protect the health recovery from being interrupted. Weapons font to get our weapon damage and large ammo brick % higher. Arc Weapon Surge for more DPS. NOTE Swap Better Already for Recuperation if you're doing Frontier content, as health recovery is disabled there.

Cloak - x1 Reaper, x1 Powerful Attraction, x1 Bomber - Reaper is more orb generation for survival. Powerful attraction allows us to scoop up nearby orbs in a pinch to heal ourselves/provide DR via Overshields. Bomber feeds into our ability loop, giving us grenade energy back on each dodge.

For me personally, I think the best roll is as follows.

Enduring Blade - Only a 2% DPS loss for much more total damage potential/max ammo capacity.

Swordmaster's Guard - Necessary for a 2 Light, 1 Heavy combo with one Lucent Blades in the chest while not in Prismatic.

Wave Frame - Some people really enjoy the Caster Frame for access to ranged damage, but this trades off a significant amount of our DPS in exchange for range. I'd much rather pack an LMG to cover that weakness than sacrifice DPS potential for the main weapon of the setup. As far as I'm concerned, Wave Frame is the best option for a close quarter build.

Arc Conductor - Six seconds of AoE clearing, supplemental single target DPS, and Arc Damage reduction. not only is this the best AoE option available, but it's not far behind the best Single Target options. The best part of this perk, is when you're doing single target damage, you're often clearing enemies with the splash damage, generating orbs from Reaper in our boots after dodges, and Arc Siphon in our Helmet.

Primary/Kinetic Slot

This slot REALLY wants to be Attrition Orbs + Kinetic Tremors for orb generation when you can't clear packs. This build can facetank bosses in -40 content so long as you properly manage your orb generation with this slot.

Mercury-A - This is just the best orb gen weapon in the game right now. With enhanced perks, you only have to shoot the bow twice to activate Kinetic Tremors, which will get you the third hit needed to generate an orb. You don't even have to fully charge the shot, so when up close and personal you can get an orb generated in nearly a second. You want as much Draw Speed as possible on your roll if able.

Multimach CCX - The best alternative and more widely owned option. Not as quick to generate an orb, but it's the second best option out there.

Heavy Slot

This slot really wants to be an Arc LMG, to synergize with the Arc percs we have selected, as well as to give us a much needed ranged option to supplement our melee playstyle. It's also nice to have the LMG to combat invaders in the Renegades Frontier missions.

Song of Ir Yut - Demolitionist/High Ground - This is probably the best option for the setup overall. We have constant grenades to keep it topped off via Demolitionist, High Ground is easy to stack/maintain without being interrupted by Demo reloads, and it's Origin Trait provides additional Splash clear at range.

Terminus Horizon (RotN) - Demolitionist/Rolling Storm or Jolting Feedback - Decent option if you don't have access to Song of Ir Yut. Arc splash percs aren't super great on LMGs, but are certainly workable. Good synergy with seasonal perks right now.

Watchful Eye - Overflow/Jolting Feedback - Perfectly acceptable roll for this build. I still use this weapon on the setup from time to time, just because I have such a good roll with Amor-Piercing Rounds to stack up Jolting Feedback faster. I was using this weapon up until I got Song of Ir Yut.

Bitter End - Trickle Charge/Rolling Storm - I haven't gotten this roll or tried it out with the build, but I'd imagine it would fit quite nicely here. Overall the Demolitionist and even Overflow setups will result in virtually no reloading, and would be preferable.

My in game stat spread is as follows

5 Health 70 Melee 78 Grenade 70 Super 80 Class 170 Weapon (+20 Font)

Health - Can nuke it, has very little importance to the build

Melee - Between 68-70 for 100% melee refund on Gambler's Dodge

Grenade - Between 70-80

Super - Between 70-80

Class - Between 70-80

Weapon - 160+ Preferred with an additional 20 from Font. For Swords/LMG, the Large Brick pickup is the maximum pickup per brick, so Font > Scavenger for ammo economy, as well as damage for this loadout.

General Boss Rotation

1. To start, dump your grenade/melee at the boss and generate an Orb with your Primary Attrition Orb weapon.

2. Activate Prismatic and Fire off Super at the boss, and throw your Prismatic Grenade/Melee's.

3. Heavy Attack (and followup attack) to gap close to the boss.

4. Light Attack, Light Attack, Heavy/Heavy Followup, and then again, Light Attack, Light Attack, Heavy/Heavy Followup (Note add a third light attack at the start of the chain to activate seasonal perks)

5. Swap to Attrition Orbs to Generate Orb > Dodge to Scoop orb and refund melee, throw melee for radiant, throw grenade, back to Sword and repeat from step 4 until you're out of Prismatic.

6. Looking to build prismatic as fast as possible, utilize your Kinetic Tremors primary, dodge/melee, and grenades to build back meter and continue DPS.
