Build Details
This build focuses on using ignitions to proc more ignitions devastating the battlefield. Due to solar fulmination the fragments of ashes and char will cause multiple ignitions to chain. when you ignite a target it spreads scorch to nearby enemies, if the enemies live the ignition damage they will have enough scorch stacks that they two will ignite spreading more scorch stacks and ignitions until everything is either dead or burning alive with little health left. Here we can proc ignitions a few ways, with Caliban's our melee can proc ignitions from final blows and spreads scorch to those hit, couple this with our grenade and we can stack scorch very quickly. We can also proc these ignitions with our special and heavy weapons. With Aberrant action having incandescent and heal clip our kills will spread scorch to enemies hit with our knife and proc the ignition, as well as giving us a quick curex2 from the extremely fast reload with On your mark. The heavy of choice is Whisper of the worm. This sniper rifle not only has anti-barrier from the fragment but also stacks scorch with incendiary rifle rounds, along with benefiting from snipers' meditation. This accumulates into a very strong and bursty amount of damage to quickly eliminate bosses, yellow bars, champions, and whatever else you want to hit for a solid amount of damage. Since the scorch stacks come from the melee, heavy, and energy slots we can opt for healing grenades instead if you wish for more survivability. For the primary slot, I take my trusty fate-bringer, as we want a hand cannon to deal with overloads as we have no other way to deal with them. If you wish to run something else in the kinetic you are fully able to, just keep in mind you will not have an answer for overload champs without the hand cannon. You could also run double special with this build and have chill clip on a fusion rifle or the new raid sniper rifle to deal with the overloads that way. For the super I opted for Marksman golden gun so that we have more high-damage options for beefier enemies however a swap to blade barrage isn't bad either as it gives more add clear potential.
As for the build rotation and how the gameplay loops, you will be using the explosive knife to land a kill and start ignite chaining or have it spread scorch, you will either follow up with a fusion grenade or a quick clean-up kill with aberrant action to proc incandescence so that we have enough scorch stacks to start the ignition chain. Due to the fragment ember of torches making us radiant from melee kills our aspect Knock 'em down will refund our knife charge. If we somehow lose our melee without it being replenished we also take gamblers dodge to quickly recoup it. The idea is to ignite spam enemies while using heal clip from our side arm to top us up, while creating fire sprites to grant more grenade uses and giving us restoration when we pick one up.
For mods
On the helmet, I recommend a special ammo finder for more side arm use, a harmonic siphon for orbs, and hands-on for more super energy while we chain knife kills.
For the Gloves, Heavy-handed helps our orb generation while impact induction will grant us more grenade use, I do recommend a loader mod just to make that heal clip a little faster and make whisper a little more forgiving if you miss a shot.
The chest is up to you however I recommend damage-reducing mods, either concussive dampener or elemental resist mods for whatever will be shooting back at you
The legs will have a harmonic scavenger as its 1 energy cost with the seasonal mods and extra special and heavy never hurt anyone, along with two solar surges after all we want to be doing the most damage as possible so we can start the ignition chains or burn a boss quickly with whisper.
The cloak I recommend powerful attraction time dilation and bomber, this allows us to easily pick up orbs of power to maintain our surges and increase the surge duration with time dilation. Bomber will give us more grenades for extra aoe scorch or healing if you choose to run healing grenade.
