How It Works

Aztecross' reaction 1 - reaction 2

If you liked my Rapid-fire Fighting Lion build, you will love this build, it's that much better. The idea of this build is to make the battlefield as lethal as possible for enemies and as safe as possible for you.

The exotic class item with Spirit of Inmost Light is going to provide us with constant 2x Empowered Abilities, allowing us to spam our abilities a lot. Additionally, Facet of Hope contributes to our class ability recharge rate, because we always have a buff active. And because we are making so many kills and generating so many orbs, we also get our Tether super and Transcendence energy back quickly.

The duskfield grenade has one of the lowest grenade cooldowns and will cover the battlefield with slowing fields. Slowing enemies gives fast darkness transcendence energy and increases your class ability recharge rate, because of Winter's Shroud. Using your class ability will dodge-reload our grenade launcher and attract any nearby orbs to refresh our void overshield. If you have the demolistionist perk, throwing your grenade will also reload our weapon, and kills will grant additional grenade energy.

The smoke bomb will weaken groups of enemies and refresh our radiant buff, thanks to the Facet of Dawn fragment. Because of our artifact, we get devour from rapidly defeating weakened enemies, which happens often. Final blows while devour is active heals us and also gives us grenade energy. Because smoke bombs last a long time, it can repeatedly refresh our empowered abilities and radiant uptime. It will also give us fast light transcendence energy.

As we are constantly debuffing our enemies, any final blow will make us invisible, because of the Stylish Executioner aspect. Exiting out of invis grants us volatile rounds to our weapons, thanks to Spirit of Gyrfalcon on our class item. Our weapons of choice will be VS Velocity Baton with enhanced attrition orbs (and demolistionist) and Edge Transit with enhanced explosive light (and envious assassin) to benefit from the orbs we generate. Both are void weapons, which will benefit from the volatile rounds.
