Destiny 2 Warlock BuildCrazy Solo DPS and solo dungeon build
Solar
PvE
Legendary Hand Cannon
Exotic Rocket LauncherRockets embed themselves in struck targets and periodically eject incendiary fuel that inflicts Scorch. The longer this weapon goes without firing, the more fuel the next rocket contains. Strong against [Stagger] Unstoppable Champions.
Your Daybreak projectiles deal more damage and scorch targets on impact. Your scorch is improved and you gain a small amount of melee energy when your scorch damages a target.
strengths
Good ad clear- Extremely good solo or co-op boss damage
- Good health checks with Phoenix dive
- Stun locks some bosses
- Very fast super regen
weaknesses
Self explosions (rockets have intrinsic time dilation so don't get too close)- Can't take too much damage before healing again
- Takes a little practice to get good at it
Build Details
Chorus dawn solar warlock -- -= Normal playstyle section =- - either use the hand cannon or hipfire yeartide apex smg (yeartide advised) to spread scorch and kill ads. Throw grenade into larger crowds or more tanky mobs to scorch all around and do big damage. Melee long range for small groups of enemies or more tanky mobs if you want to try ignitions. Phoenix dive whenever because it comes back very quickly, gives you your solar buddy (hellion) and is one of your mains sources for healing.
-= Boss damage section =- - Start with phoenix dive to heal and get hellion. - Throw grenade at bosses feet (or lower half), then follow up with celestial fire melee ability to scorch even further. - Shoot Dragon's breath rocket and switch to yeartide apex to use scorching (look in notes section, yeartide can role with BOTH incandescent AND burning ambition) - Start super (Daybreak) and mash the shoot button for the projectiles that (with Chorus dawn) now scorch further and do more damage. By this point you should have gotten several ignitions to explode on the boss. - After your super ends immediately Phoenix dive (it comes back automatically after) for hellion to restore and to get health back, then rocket again. NOTE Rockets with this build autoload a new rocket while stowed about every 2-3 seconds - Continue with any abilities that restore, chaining rockets and smg to maximize damage output. CHECK NOTES SECTION (gameplay loop)
-= Movement section =- - For movement, switch the first slot to the Mountaintop grenade launcher for rocket jumps, or another micro-missile frame grenade launcher. Switch Dragon's Breath rocket launcher for any Eager Edge sword for sword swinging. - Good movement combos include rocket jumps, Icarus dash, sword swing, AND your super, which will give you super jumps AND super Icarus dashes.
For gameplay loop check the "how it works" section at the bottom of the page. This section is NOTES - This build is the boss damage load out but for the normal loadout you switch to the Mountaintop grenade launcher for rocket jumps and any Eager edge sword for sword swinging - THIS NOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT Yeartide apex CAN role with both incandescent AND burning ambition, which is the god roll for this build, I recommend that gun if you have it. - I mentioned that Phoenix dive is your health source, getting an orb of power will also restore health AND start health regen. - DO NOT get to close to the boss because Dragon's Breath DOES have time dilation intrinsic perk so your rockets with shoot fire but after a few seconds they will explode, and getting too close it WILL kill you instantly so just be aware of that and keep your distance.
