Destiny 2 Warlock Build Destroys Episode Heresy – Become a God!

by

The enhancements made to Episode Heresy on Destiny 2’s Arc subclasses were definitely necessary, but it’s the newly introduced abilities for Warlocks in the Void class that have taken the game’s space wizards to an overpowered level.

In the thrilling world of Heresy’s Nether seasonal activity, where self-healing is off the table, the convenience of Warlock’s Devour ability becomes a game-changer that’s hard to overlook. But don’t fret, this isn’t just about survival – there’s a stack of offensive power waiting to be harnessed here for those who dare to venture in!

Incorporating fresh Void abilities as rewards (perks) and significantly enhancing the powers of your Warlock’s subclasses in Heresy results in your Warlock becoming a divine entity among other Guardians in PvE gameplay.

Warlock Voidsplosion build – Infinite Volatile & Weaken

Two crucial items are essential for this setup to function smoothly. Among them, the Exotic Briarbinds gauntlets can be acquired in a few ways – you can either farm Legendary Lost Sectors or progress your relationship with Rahool to obtain them.

Instead of the second item, you’ll need a bit of luck and time commitment in Trials of Osiris. What you’re aiming for is a refurbished Hand Cannon named Exalted Truth with the rolls of Destabilizing Rounds and Demoralize. To clarify, here’s what these two perks entail:

– Destabilizing Rounds: This perk enhances the weapon’s ability to cause flinching (momentary recoil) on enemies hit by your bullets.
– Demoralize: This perk increases the reload speed of your weapon when you get a kill, making it more efficient in rapid-fire situations.

  • Destabilizing Rounds: Defeating a target creates a Void burst; hitting other targets with this burst makes them volatile and grants you Volatile Rounds for a short duration.
  • Demoralize: Precision final blows cause nearby targets to become Weakened.
Briarbinds and a Destabilizing Rounds/Demoralize roll for Exalted Truth are the only mandatory items.

As a gamer, I’d tell you that with these two essential gear pieces, you’ll be unleashing chaos on entire hordes of enemies. For your primary weapon, any Void-based one should do the trick, but if you want to maximize your damage, consider wielding either a custom-crafted Commemoration with Reconstruction and Killing Tally or snagging the VS Chill Inhibitor roll from Banshee-44.

Tinasha’s Expertise, coupled with the Chill Clip, is an excellent option for its versatility and power, particularly as it’s earned through Iron Banner.

In combination, these elements significantly enhance the build’s strength, placing it among the top-tier options when used with Warlock’s Aspects and Fragments, along with Heresy’s Artifact Modifications.

Aspects & Fragments – Unbeatable survivability

To activate the first skill effectively, you’ll need to let “Child of the Old Gods” reach the “Void Soul”. Although Exalted Truth can weaken enemies on its own, the grenade and melee energy it generates post-drain is incredibly beneficial for keeping up the “Devour” effect. This ability activates whenever a kill is made with “Feed the Void”.

Since none of the mentioned effects require Fragments, you have the liberty to enhance them even more with any additional Fragments that strengthen them. For instance, Echo of Instability enhances your heavy weapon with Volatile Rounds, while Echoes of Harvest and Reprisal speed up your Nova Bomb or Nova Warp charge times dramatically.

At the end, cap it off with “Echo of Expulsion” and Heresy’s three Artifacts that focus on Void damage, causing explosions whenever an enemy is killed by any source of Void damage, including your Void Soul. Here’s a list of what you should gear up with:

This rephrased version attempts to simplify the original text and make it more understandable for casual readers.

Child of the Old Gods and Feed the Void will collectively provide sources of Weaken and Devour.

Aspects

  • Child of the Old Gods: Casting your rift creates a Void Soul that flies to and weakens enemies when damaged with your weapon. When enemies are drained, you gain grenade and melee energy (healing rift) or health (empowering rift). Defeating targets drained by a Void Soul grants class ability energy.
  • Feed the Void: Defeating a target with any Void ability grants Devour (healing on any Void kill). Devour restores additional health and grenade energy.

Fragments

  • Echo of Instability: Defeating targets with grenades grants Volatile Rounds to your Void weapons.
  • Echo of Harvest: Defeating Weakened targets creates an Orb of Power and Void Breach.
  • Echo of Reprisal: Final blows while surrounded by combatants grant Super energy.
  • Echo of Expulsion: Void ability final blows cause targets to explode.

Heresy Artifact Mods

  • Volatile Marksman: Rapid Void precision hits and rapid Void weapon final blows grant Volatile Rounds. BOOST: Volatile detonations grant class ability energy.
  • Maligned Harvest: Rapidly applying Volatile causes your next instance of Void damage to create a weakening burst.
  • Void Flux: Defeating weakened targets with a Void weapon applies Volatile to nearby targets. Powerful targets increase the radius of the explosion.
