Best Destiny 2 Builds for Titan, Hunter and Warlock in 2023

Do you want to take your game to the next level? Destiny 2 is not only about having a good aim or even good positioning. If you want to succeed in PvE, you also have to have the right gear. The right Exotics, weapons, mods, and, more importantly, the right build.

And while we already covered the top builds per class for PvE and PvP (links to those below), this guide covers every single viable build we have for PvE in Season 19.

Top 3 Warlock Builds

Commander of Chaos

Excels In: Grandmaster Nightfalls

Goal of the Build: Be able to throw debuffing Vortex Grenades while maintaining Devour for survivability.

Mandatory Gear: A primary weapon with Demolitionist will significantly help. Contraverse Hold is at the center of this build, so running it is mandatory.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Contraverse Hold	Warlock	Arms	Free-to-Play	Exotic Engrams		Free-to-Play	Exotic Perk: "Resist incoming damage while charging your Void grenade with Chaos Accelerant, Feed the Void, or Handheld Supernova. Charged Void grenades return an amount of grenade energy on a hit."

• Aspects: Chaos Accelerant and Feed the Void.
• Fragments: Echo of Undermining, Echo of Remnants, and Echo of Persistence or Instability.
• Abilities: Vortex Grenades are mandatory for this build.
• Stats: Discipline and Recovery.
• Mods: Elemental Ordnance is the one clear pick here since you’ll be getting tons of grenade kills. Beyond that, however, it’s up to you! Some recommendations

Gameplay Loop

The gameplay loop here is simple. Just throw a charged Vortex Grenade using Chaos Accelerant, and the build will do the rest for you. When that grenade damages something, Contraverse Hold will trigger, giving you just under 50% of your grenade energy back. This can proc twice with one Vortex Grenade when using Echo of Remnants, potentially giving you your full grenade back with no added work.

Any kills with that grenade will also grant you Devour to help you stay alive, and they’ll spawn Elemental Wells. Picking up these wells will grant you energy for all of your abilities. As previously stated, you can add more mods here to do anything from giving you damage resistance to buffing void weapon damage.

Like the Harnesser of Flame build shown earlier, this is strong on its own but can be expanded upon in numerous ways to fit the activity you’re playing.

Sun Wizard

Excels In: Casual PvE Content (Seasonal Activities, Strikes, etc.)

Goal of the Build: While it’s simple at its core, this build allows you to rain terror from above by throwing an infinite amount of Solar Grenades. It provides excellent ad-clear, and you’ll receive the Radiant buff frequently to provide extra weapon damage toward higher-health targets.

Mandatory Gear: Any solar weapons can be helpful here, but they are in no way required. Sunbracers is the exotic we’ll be using here, as it grants you tons of Solar Grenades and has unmatched synergy with Heat Rises.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Sunbracers	Warlock	Arms	Free-to-Play	Exotic Engrams		Free-to-Play	Exotic Perk: "Increases the duration of Solar Grenades. Solar melee kills grant unlimited Solar Grenade energy for a brief time."

• Aspects: Touch of Flame and Heat Rises.
• Fragments: Ember of Torches, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Solace, and Ember of Ashes (optional)
• Abilities & Stats: Solar Grenade and Celestial Fire are musts here.
• Stats: Resilience and Recovery are the only two stats you might want to spec into here.
• Mods: We don’t usually bother running any specific mods with this build, but some suggestions:

Gameplay Loop

Get a kill with your charged melee ability to start the gameplay loop. If you’re struggling with this step, try binding your charged melee to a unique button so you can send it off at a more specific time. Doing so will proc Ember of Torches, giving you and nearby allies Radiant. This can be extended by getting solar kills because of Ember of Empyrean.

Getting that powered melee kill will also proc Sunbracers, granting you five seconds of ‘infinite’ Solar Grenades. Realistically, you can only fire a maximum of five in this time due to the time it takes to execute the animation. After this, take to the skies, and watch everything below you start to burn. Any kills in the air (including those from the grenades) will give you 30% of your melee energy, allowing you to repeat this loop infinitely. If you ever fail to kill something with your melee, just get kills in the air with your weapons—you’ll get it back soon after due to Heat Rises.

This build was already strong before Solar 3.0, but with the new aspects and fragments, it has gotten even more powerful. While it doesn’t excel much in higher-level content, this is a great build to run in seasonal activities and other lower-end content if you want to mix it up.

BONUS: Controller of Storms

Excels In: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: Have constant access to jolt-inflicting abilities, allowing for exceptional ad clear and major-killing potential.

Mandatory Gear: To regenerate abilities quickly, we’ll use Crown of Tempests. Season 18’s Fallen Sunstar can also work here, but we usually prefer Crown for its consistency. As for weapons, we’ll be utilizing Delicate Tomb.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Crown of Tempests	Warlock	Helm	Free-to-Play	Exotic Engrams		Free-to-Play	Exotic Perk: "Arc ability kills increase the recharge rate of your Arc abilities and extend the duration of Stormtrance."

• Aspects: Arc Soul doesn’t contribute much here, so Lightning Surge and Electrostatic Mind are the way to go for aspects.
• Fragments: Spark of Shock, Discharge, Magnitude, and Beacons.
• Abilities: We prefer Stormtrance (especially with Crown of Tempests). Pulse Grenade and Chain Lightning are the most potent abilities here in our experience, but these are once again up to you.
• Stats: Resilience and Recovery are the top two stats you’ll want to spec into. Discipline can also help you top off your grenade charge if you don’t get it from everything else, but this shouldn’t be too much of an issue in theory.
• Mods: Because no Charged with Light or Elemental Well mods have come out recently, there’s little we can do with mods here. The classic Taking Charge + a Charged With Light-consuming mod will work, but beyond that, there’s little opportunity to expand this build:

Gameplay Loop

The beauty of this build is that there isn’t a specific “loop” for it; using Delicate Tomb or any ability will end up triggering something else most of the time. The goal here is to generate as many Ionic Traces as possible, amplifying you and buffing Delicate Tomb, then allowing you to jolt enemies.

One fun synergy worth mentioning is that of Delicate Tomb and Spark of Beacons. While amplified (which you can easily get by picking up an Ionic Trace through Electrostatic Mind), kills with Delicate Tomb will release blinding explosions. This makes it very easy to jolt and blind enemies simultaneously, while also regenerating other abilities to continue the loop.

Overall, as long as you’re getting kills with arc abilities or Delicate Tomb, all of the moving parts in this build should automatically regenerate your abilities quickly. A great build for ad clear that’s also extremely fun to use, the Controller of Storms can excel against anything you put it up against.

Warlock Builds

Top 3 Hunter PvE builds

The Stealthed Gyrfalcon

Excels in: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: Chain Invisibility to retain Volatile Rounds and synergize as much as possible with your Void 3.0 kit and weapons.

Mandatory Gear: The Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk Exotic is an essential part of this build. Weapons with Repulsor Brace are best, such as Unforgiven, Veles-X, or The Hero’s Burden; however, weapons without Repulsor Brace can work too, Funnelweb being a fine example. Collective Obligation is also excellent for this build.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Gyrfalcon's Hauberk	Hunter	Chest	The Witch Queen	Lost Sectors	Season 18	The Witch Queen	Exotic Perk: "Your weapons gain a bonus to damage briefly after you emerge from being invisible. When you are invisible and defeat a combatant using a finisher, you and your nearby allies gain a reserve overshield and improved class ability regen. These reserve overshields can be deployed by using a class ability."

• Aspects: Stylish Executioner is necessary. Vanishing Step is best for the additional fragment slot, but Trapper’s Ambush can work.
• Fragments: Echo of Starvation, Echo of Persistence, Echo of Remnants, and Echo of Obscurity.
• Abilities: Moebius Quiver for your Super, Vortex Grenades, and either Dodge can work.
• Stats: Maximum Resilience and high Mobility and Discipline.
• Mods: This build is hyper-flexible, allowing you to run whatever mod setup you want. However, the best mods in general right now are Elemental Well mods  (you will need an orb-generating mod, though):

Art	Mod Name	Slot	Cost	Requirements	Effects	Type
	Harmonic Siphon	Helmet	1	Rank 6	Rapid final blows with weapons matching your Subclass create an Orb of Power.	General

Gameplay Loop

Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk does practically everything. Essentially, the goal is to go Invisible through your dodge, exit Invisibility, gain Volatile Rounds, kill a Volatile enemy, and thus, re-enter Invisibility through Stylish Executioner and continue the cycle of exiting Invis, getting a kill on a Volatile enemy and repeating.

Adding in Devour grants you both Healing and Invisibility on kill. Then, once you add a Repulsor Brace weapon on top of this (which provides an overshield when defeating a Void-debuffed target), you become practically unkillable, weaving in and out of Invisibility with a tanky overshield and full health on kill.

By the way, Volatile Rounds also offer a lot of DPS potential. This excellent video by Imagine clearly demonstrates the potential that a god-rolled Retrofit Escapade and Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk have together.

The Ghost of Lightning

Excels in: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: Stack up Combination Blow and slay out with your abilities while striking from the shadows.

Mandatory Gear: For the Exotic, you’ll definitely need Assassin’s Cowl. There are no “necessary” weapons for this build. However, a 1-2 punch shotgun significantly boosts this build’s effectiveness.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Assassin's Cowl	Hunter	Helm	Shadowkeep	Exotic Engrams	Season 8	Shadowkeep	Exotic Perk: "Powered melee final blows grant invisibility and restore a portion of health and shields. Finishers and final blows against more powerful targets increase the duration of the invisibility and the amount of health and shields."

• Aspects: Lethal Current and Flow State are the go-to’s for this build.
• Fragments: Spark of Resistance is the perfect pick for this setup, Spark of Feedback and Spark of Shock are both suitable picks too.
• Abilities: Combination Blow and Gambler’s Dodge are both required. Any Grenade works. However, Storm and Pulse Grenades are both strong picks.
• Stats: Maximum Resilience and Discipline are  are best.
• Mods: Melee Wellmaker is the perfect mod for this build. Pairing this with other Elemental Well mods like Well of Ions and Bountiful Wells allows for quite a solid setup:

Art	Mod Name	Slot	Cost	Requirements	Effects	Type
	Hands-On	Helmet	3	Rank 5	Gain bonus Super energy on melee kills.	General

Gameplay Loop

Stacking Combination Blow to x3 is your main goal. Once you do this, you will be able to 1-punch all squishy enemies and will be able to 1-2 Punch Shotgun all other enemies besides bosses.

Due to the immense number of Elemental Wells you generate, you will have your Grenade up very often. Due to Hands-On, you’ll be getting your Super rather quickly, so weaving these into your general gameplay simply takes practice and time with the build.
This build is tricky to use, especially for a less experienced player in higher-level content. However, mastering it will allow you to take on practically all types of content, regardless of the difficulty.

The Radiant Assassin

Excels in: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: Have infinite survivability through invisibility and a constant source of healing by having access to unlimited throwing knives.

Mandatory Gear: A solid ad clear primary weapon is helpful (Osteo Striga and Huckleberry are among my favorites), and a high-damage Solar Heavy weapon is also valuable (Cataclysmic, Gjallarhorn and Lament are all excellent options).

Art	Weapon	Type	Archetype	Rarity	Ammo	Element	Requirements	In loot pool?	Ammo?	Element?	Tier	Excels	Source	Craftable?	Requires	Released	Slot	Can be Crafted?
	Osteo Striga	Submachine Gun	Exotic	Exotic	Primary	Kinetic	The Witch Queen	Yes	Primary	Kinetic	Best ❘ S	PvE + PvP	Deluxe Edition		The Witch Queen	Season 16	Kinetic	Craftable
	Cataclysmic	Linear Fusion Rifle	Precision	Legendary	Heavy	Solar	The Witch Queen	Yes	Heavy	Solar	Best ❘ S	PvE	Vow of the Disciple Raid		The Witch Queen	Season 16	Heavy	Craftable
	Gjallarhorn	Rocket Launcher	Exotic	Exotic	Heavy	Solar	30th Anniversary	Yes	Heavy	Solar	Best ❘ S	PvE + PvP	Grasp of Avarice Dungeon		30th Anniversary	30th Anniversary event	Heavy	No
	The Lament	Sword	Exotic	Exotic	Heavy	Solar	Beyond Light	Yes	Heavy	Solar	Best ❘ S	PvE	Exotic Quest		Beyond Light	Season 12	Heavy	No
	The Huckleberry	Submachine Gun	Exotic	Exotic	Primary	Kinetic	Free-to-Play	Yes	Primary	Kinetic	Best ❘ S	PvE	Exotic Engram		Free-to-Play	Season 3	Kinetic	No

For the Exotic, you’ll definitely need Assassin’s Cowl:

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Assassin's Cowl	Hunter	Helm	Shadowkeep	Exotic Engrams	Season 8	Shadowkeep	Exotic Perk: "Powered melee final blows grant invisibility and restore a portion of health and shields. Finishers and final blows against more powerful targets increase the duration of the invisibility and the amount of health and shields."

• Aspects: Knock ‘em Down is necessary. The other Aspect is up to you. However, we do recommend On Your Mark for the ability to equip 5 Fragments.
• Fragments: Ember of Torches is mandatory too. For the rest, Ember of Solace, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Singeing, and Ember of Searing are all suitable.
• Abilities: Gambler’s Dodge, Blade Barrage, Healing Grenade, and Knife Trick.
• Stats: High Mobility and Resilience are recommended for optimal uptime on your Gambler’s Dodge and heightened levels of damage resistance.
• Mods: No mods are “necessary” here. However, adding these can give you solid DPS:

Gameplay Loop

The gameplay loop is quite simple with Assassin’s Cowl. The goal is to chain Knife Trick kills together to ensure maximum uptime on your invisibility and to have as much healing as possible. If you miss, Gambler’s Dodge is there to pick up the slack and provide you with another melee. Gambler’s Dodge and your melee will also recharge faster by scorching enemies with your Knife Trick.

You also have options like Healing Grenade if you find yourself out of a dodge and a melee ability. This can help fill in the gaps where you may miss your abilities on a target and need some survivability.

To maximize DPS, you will want the mods mentioned earlier. Simply get a throwing knife kill, grab the Solar Elemental Well that drops and deal as much damage as possible with your Solar Heavy Weapon of choice. At the same time, you have the Font of Might buff and High Energy Fire. You will also have Radiant from Ember of Torches, which can serve as a backup buff should you lose High Energy Fire or Font of Might.

Top 3 Titan PvE builds

God of Thunder

Excels In: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: This build aims to turn you into the ultimate ad clearing machine harnessing the power of the new Arc 3.0 subclass and the Heart of Inmost Light exotic.

Mandatory gear: This build focuses on ability uptime, and hence no weapons are mandatory. This allows you to tailor your weapon choice to best fit the activity you are completing, such as weapons that have season champion mods. The only hard requirement is the Heart of Inmost Light Titan exotic.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Heart of Inmost Light	Titan	Chest	Free-to-Play	Exotic Engrams		Free-to-Play	Exotic Perk: "Using an ability (grenade, melee, or Barricade) empowers the other two abilities. Empowered means abilities have faster regen, melees and grenades do more damage, and Barricades have more hit points."

• Aspects: Touch of Thunder is the only required aspect for this build. That means the second aspect is up to personal preference.
• Fragments: Spark of Magnitude is the only required fragment. However, Spark of Shock and Spark of Ions are strongly recommended to enhance this build.
• Abilities: Storm Grenades combined with Rally Barricade or Thruster are the best suited for this build.
• Stats: High or Max Resilience (increased damage reduction and faster barricade cooldown) and Discipline are the two stats that you should focus on.
• Mods: Heart of Inmost Light doesn’t require any mods to excel, but mods that help reduce ability cooldowns help strengthen this build. Examples include:

Art	Mod Name	Slot	Cost	Requirements	Effects	Type
	Bolstering Detonation	Arms	2	Rank 5	Grants class ability energy when you cause damage with a grenade.	General
	Bomber	Class Item	1	Rank 5	Reduces grenade cooldown when using your class ability.	General

Gameplay Loop

This is one of the strongest builds in Destiny with a very simple and easy playstyle. It excels in both solo and team content.

The playstyle of this build revolves around the Heart of Inmost Light and maintaining high ability uptime. Heart of Inmost Light’s exotic perk ‘Overflowing Light’ empowers your abilities when you use one. This increases both the damage and the regeneration of your abilities. This can stack up to 2x for each ability, and the goal is to maintain a 2x stack by using your abilities whenever they are off cooldown.

When Heart of Inmost Light is combined with storm grenades and the required aspects/fragments, you can achieve a 100% uptime on your grenade. These nades are extremely good for both ad clear and damaging bosses. With this aspect, they roam around following enemies, which makes them even more deadly. Any enemies that survive the constant barrage of thunder from the roaming grenades can be easily dealt with using your empowered melee. This results in one of, if not the best ad clearing builds in the game currently.

One Punch (Bash) Man

Excels In: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: Titans are known for their punching skills, and this build aims to take it to a new level. Void 3.0 and Wormgod Caress allow you to one-punch anything from strike Bosses to soloing Raid bosses; the raw damage potential of this build is unmatched.

Mandatory gear: Wormgod Caress is the only hard requirement here. Since this build is all about punching things, weapons that improve/recharge/benefit from melee excel. One-Two Punch shotguns are heavily recommended.

Armor	Class	Type	Requirements	Source	Released	Requires	Exotic Perk
Wormgod Caress	Titan	Arms	Free-to-Play	Exotic Engrams	Season 5	Free-to-Play	Exotic Perk: "Melee kills increase melee damage for a period of time. Additional kills extend duration and increase effects."

• Aspects: Bastion and Offensive Bulwark.
• Fragments: While no fragments are mandatory, there are several fragments that enhance this build, including Echo of Undermining, Echo of Leeching, and Echo of Expulsion.
• Abilities: Any barricade will work for this build. In terms of grenades, Vortex or Void Wall are best. For melee, Shield Bash is the required option.
• Stats: High or Max Resilience (increased damage reduction and faster class ability) with as high as possible Recovery, Discipline, and Strength as possible.
• Mods: Whilst not mandatory, mods can be used to enhance this build:

Art	Mod Name	Slot	Cost	Requirements	Effects	Type
	Melee Kickstart	Arms	4	Rank 7	When your melee energy is fully expended, you gain melee energy. Additionally, your Armor Charge is consumed and you gain additional melee energy for each stack.	Passive
	Focusing Strike	Arms	2	Rank 5	Grants class ability energy when you cause damage with a melee attack.	General
	Outreach	Class Item	1	Rank 5	Reduces melee cooldown when using your class ability.	General

Gameplay Loop

The aspects used in this build work hand in hand with each other to help strengthen your melee damage you output. Bastion grants an overshield when using your barricade, allowing Offensive Bulwark to activate. This increases your melee damage, range, and regeneration. It also allows for melee final blows to increase the duration of the overshield. This loop of constant overshield helps you regen your other abilities faster and help keep the melee chain going.

Wormgod Caress adds to this chain by significantly increasing the melee damage dealt with each kill. When combined with a 1-2 punch shotgun, you will be able to punch your way through anything you encounter. It is worth saving your weakening grenade and shield bash for when you encounter a more difficult opponent such as a champion or mini-boss. Weaken them with your grenade and use a 1-2 punch bash for an instant kill (or an easy finisher). To do this, make sure you shoot when sliding as it will allow you to shield bash coming out of the slide.

Undying Flame

Excels In: Mid to Endgame PvE content (Dungeons, Raids, Grandmaster Nightfalls)

Goal of the Build: This build aims to create an unkillable Titan by harnessing the power of Solar 3.0 and the Loreley Splendor exotic helm.

Mandatory gear: This build is all about the Lorely Splendor exotic helm, and hence this exotic piece is a must-have. Since this build focuses on survivability, there a no mandatory weapons, but solar weapons will see the most benefit due to their synergy with Solar 3.0.

• Aspects: Sol Invictus is the only hard requirement for this build. The secondary aspect is up for debate: Roaring Flames can be more beneficial in endgame content, but Consecration is a fun and solid choice.
• Fragments: Ember of Solace, Ember of Singeing, Ember of Empyrean, and Ember of Torches are recommended.
• Abilities: Rally barricade is preferred as it has a shorter cooldown and provides several buffs for you and your team.
• Stats: High or Max Resilience is the only requirement for this build.
• Mods: Whilst no mods are needed for this build to work, a simple elemental well setup can improve this build:

Art	Mod Name	Slot	Cost	Requirements	Effects	Type
	Utility Kickstart	Class Item	3	Rank 7	When your class ability energy is fully expended, you gain class ability energy. Additionally, your Armor Charge is consumed and you gain additional class ability energy for each stack.	Active

Gameplay Loop

This is one of the easiest and most straightforward builds for Titan. It requires little to no setup and functions extremely well in all levels of content.

This build revolves around the Loreley Splendor exotic helmet. Its exotic perk, “Cauterizing Flame,” creates a sunspot upon barricade cast or when you are critically wounded. This allows you to get the Restoration buff which regenerates your health and shields over time. This cannot be stopped by damage and only runs out when the buff itself runs out. Ember of Solace increases this duration.

Ember of the Empyrean allows you to maintain this restoration buff by chaining solar weapon kills to refresh the duration. With the above-mentioned Elemental Well build, using Font of Might can also increase the damage of your solar weapon, making it even easier to maintain the restoration buff.
