PvE PvPGravity Training Destroyer Build Guide for PvE
Build
This is one of the most enjoyable builds in the game - you essentially become nearly invincible and bonk your enemies on the head with a massive hammer until they die. That's why it's called the Bonk Bonk Build!
The premise is simple: boosts the damage of your Hypergravity Skill (Z). You want to charge your Identity meter as fast as possible and smash people on the head. This build is also more forgiving of mistakes than the more meta build.
If you'd rather dish out massive bursts of damage, check out the Rage Hammer build.

How to play
You have one goal with this build. Get into Hypergravity as fast as possible so you can go Bonk Bonk on enemies. The majority of your damage comes from there.
That means that you can spend cores as you get them instead of always waiting for, but be careful since your Purple Skills have long cooldowns. Also if you get too sloppy with your skills and miss, your overall damage will be significantly reduced since your skills still do good damage.
Skill Usage Priority
You should always open the fight with into giving you 3 cores and a full Gravity Gauge. After that, you can spend your cores with since it will cooldown the fastest. Then you begin the cycle of building and spending cores.
Building your cores is simple. It's always a combination of and either or . The cooldowns work out so that one is always available while the other is down.
Spending your cores, you should prioritize based on shorter cooldowns for quicker build up:
The requirements for using these skills aren't as stringent as the build, so you have more freedom to spend cores faster to get to Hypergravity. However, the cost of entering Hypergravity at a bad time is severely punishing, so make sure you understand what the boss is about to do, something you can easily plan for in Legion Raids.

Gear Set
You will use Preordained Diligence from Argos until you hit 1445 and can get the Earth's Entropy Set. This will dramatically increase the damage of your Frontal Attacks.
Alternately you can try using the Dominion Fang Set for more awakenings and faster cooldowns, hence more Bonks.
