Destiny 2 Warlock BuildPurple Rain v2

An improved version of Purple Rain https://mobalytics.gg/destiny-2/profile/b436f313-cb9d-4a4f-8cdc-eb0453962183/builds/029f0881-2fa1-44d1-bce5-b7ee2104a50d

Leans into the functionality of transcendence (void + strand) more and makes use of every fragment and seasonal mods with the addition of the new exotic auto-rifle "Choir of One".

Aspects Unlike Purple Rain v1. We exchange [Hellion] for [Weaver's Call] as we lean heavily into light damage.

[Feed the Void] simply for devour. [Weaver's Call] to give more purpose to our class ability [Pheonix Dive] by spawning [Threadlings] and primary engagement for [Spirit of Inmost Light].

Fragments

[Facet of Balance] - Staple. We spam our abilities and take use of both void and strand. Increasing our regen of both our most important abilities.

[Facet of Sacrifice] - Staple. Devour will be up constantly if you're using the build correctly. [Threaded Needle] and "The Call" will allow us to get devour and also build that darkness transcendence quickly.

[Facet of Dominance] - Staple. Void grenades [Weaken] targets. Procs seasonal mods [Void Hegemony] and [Expanding Abyss] explained below.

[Facet of Bravery] - Staple. We have both [Vortex Grenade] and [Threadling Needle] we will be able to be flexible with barrier champions no matter which weapon we're using.

Flexible choices

[Facet of Courage] -Bonus void damage when enemies are affected by our strand debuffs.

[Facet of Dawn] - If you require barrier champion breaker on demand, an on-hand radiance is awesome. Also good for bonus damage overall.

[Facet of Protection] - If you're getting slapped in close quarters. This will sacrifice damage in favor for survivability. (Getting chased down by a minotaur or champion)

Weapons

We keep "The Call" and "Choir of One". However, feel free to use any legendary void heavy to take advantage of the void buffs and mods we use. I find "Edge Transit" to be my favorite pick overall.

Exotic Armor

Solipsism - [Spirit of Inmost Light] + [Spirit of Verity] - CD is king, if devour isn't up you're more likely to die. With this, you can engage with [Pheonix Dive] -> [Threadling Needle] -> [Vortex Grenade] and grant increased CD.

[Spirit of Verity] - Running void grenade and weapons. Devour allowing constant upkeep of grenades... allowing upkeep of volatile rounds... allowing upkeep of kills... allowing upkeep of [Death Throes] ... allowing increased damage for [Vortex Grenade].

Key Armor Mods

[Void Siphon] / [Strand Siphon] - "The Call" and "Choir of One" will both be able to mow down enemies. Getting orbs will be key to keeping your ammo economy healthy.

[Void Reserves] - More ammo for "Choir of One" (+ heavy)

[Void Scavenger] - More ammo for "Choir of One" (+ heavy)

[Void Weapon Surge] - More damage for "Choir of One" (+ heavy)

[Special Finisher] - If at 3 stacks, look for a finisher to get yourself more special ammo.

Seasonal mods

Champion mods [Overload Auto Rifle] + [Unstoppable Sidearm]. [Threaded Blast] - Staple. "The Call" + [Threaded Needle] will make lots of [Tangles]. Shoot them to make boom go BOOM.

[Sustained Fire] + [Targeting Autoloader] - Gives you more tankiness and allows you to keep the fire going with "Choir of One" reloading the weapon and fully healing you with [Devour].

[Void Hegemony] + [Expanding Abyss] - Paired with [Facet of Dominance] will weaken your enemies, [Expanding Abyss] will make you do more damage, [Void Hegemony] will give you an [Overshield] on kill in addition to a full heal from [Devour]. [Overshield] also counts as a light buff that activates [Facet of Sacrifice].

[Radiant Orbs] - Allows [Radiant] on orb pickups allowing your heavy to also tackle Barrier Champions. Even though [Volatile Rounds] or [Unraveling Rounds] does the job. Gives redundancy.

[Shieldcrush] - By having [Radiant] or [Overshield] in our kit we can often be both. Giving both increased damage and cooldown reduction for both grenades and melees.
