Solar Hunter this season feels like it should always feel. Hit your shots, get rewarded, stuff goes boom. As soon as I saw the Celestial Nighthawk changes I knew I wanted to build into it. Never looked back, my new favorite pve build by a mile. Been running a similar build but with Epochal Integration so I can use Dragon's Breath. So fun.
I can confirm tyranny of heaven feels SO good. It's by far my favorite energy weapon ever made in destiny. Even before this season, the double explosion and a 500 ms draw time goes hard for add clear, even in close range if you put hipfire grip on it
Can confirm this is fantastic. The Corrupted is my kryptonite, I skip it every season but decided to give this build a try. Sliced through the whole thing, led the team in kills, orbs, and points.
i been running a variant of this for like normal content so nearly everything this season. tarrabah, nighthawk, and all the solar weapon buffs this season mean you shred everything with tarrabah and can nighthawk constantly, even in final round of coil. especially since damage generates super energy, tarrabah generates so much, even just dumping ravenous beast into a boss
I’m a Titan main but I can honestly say it’s nice to see Hunters on top. Considering we have to wait a whole year till we get our Vanguard back it’ll be nice to run hunter for a bit
This build looks awesome. I would really love to see a DPS meter in Destiny in the future outside out raid reports. I bet you guys would be rocking that thang!
Polaris has been seriously overlooked ever since its 3.0 update. Its nice to finally see it get some recognition. Its been my weapon for any activity for about a year now
Non-warlock main here Absolutely wrecked the GM once we got the placement down (and realized that there were two no turn back zones at Sedia😅😅) And i van confirm Alongside osmio gloves This WILL CLAP ALL cheeks in the nightfall Thanks for putting out a build that made my intro into GM's much easier, Cross! 😁😅
It might be needlessly intricate, but I’ve been enjoying running Acrobats Dodge w/ Powerful Attraction + a Slice roll of the new Strand fusion. Dodge to proc Radiant and suck up orbs for max armor charge, hit the target with Slice to activate Torch, profit. It probably isn’t as a efficient, but damn is it fun to be a flashy damage cannon.
Riptide - Chill Clip. Polaris Lance. Apex Predator -Reconstruct, Explosive Light. Celestial Nighthawk. Spec into all solar artifact mods, including the rocket ones. Spec into ignitions and survivability with Class fragments. Easy mode.
Playing similar build last night: P1 needs good kinetic hand cannon unstop control (fatebtinger-big one’s) P2 pulse of overload control (smite-big one’s) As most engagement utilise long range scout, opt for damage not healing grenade. Double Dilation (not bomber) to take better advantage of 5x surge buff P3 Omni Hunter for collecting and throwing the balls, tether & revive Hunter 4life ❤
Anyone remember solar fulmination, when you stunned champions it would pulse ignitions over and over 😂 , one of the greatest mods they’ve made imo, Truly would’ve been busted this season
Hard to put down anywhere. For survivability stack up on charges and go for regenerating your grenade. If you can fit in with the surges and maintain orbs, well you get it all.
15 minute Corrupted when it used to be the hardest GM with 40 minute runs is crazy. It's hard to believe there's been this much power creep in only 2-3 years.
I personally use apex with reconstruction and bipod for most content. It does more totally damage and is better with ammo economy. Bait and switch is great but the problem i run into often is i rarely have enough ammo to use outside of one or 2 times in most situations since it use your ammo up so fast. Unless you have very little time to do damage bipod is just better. Also tip about bipod, it makes you get more from each brick you pick up.
@dankerbell but then your build suffers because you are forced to use an exotic that only gives you ammo. Feel free to go your route but it's objectively wrong to call the perk useless it's benefited me multiple times.
This has always been the NF I wish Bungie would remove. I feel like we've had it like four years and it's really annoying at the boss area to do the entire GM only to get booped off the map by her blast after she teleports and you didn't know she's next to you.
Can we finally give Esoterickk hua flowers for creating the GM meta every season? Without him a lot of us would be rocking Wishender to the grave... Also, using that Hothead over a Cold Comfort is crazy... mine has Envious and Explosive on it... Envious along side the actual type perk (restoration ritual) can see your rocket launcher carrying enough rockets to bring down the moon.
Thanks for the vid and loadout. I just bought the nighthawk from xur this week that has an intellect spike and the lowest amount of strength. Ab to grind for the materials to buy Polaris lance
I mean Wish Ender would proc the precision kills more often and easier than plinking away with Polaris thus giving you more Super energy which means more Nightawk shots to play with
But scorch… i also use gunpowder gamble with mine so needs to solar kills. Also wishender doesn’t work against unstoppables whereas polaris does when causing ignitions and is also anti barrier constantly this season. Not to mention there is no barrier champs in this gm. Wish ender is kind of boring and cheesy anyway. Used to death. Try something else.
I know double primary is frowned upon, but try this build with lucky pants and warden's law (fttc and vorpal), you can get all the champs, and you absolutely melt with ur warden
They been tryin to stop the one phase on her but last few seasons I’ve been able to work around it still. DONT damage her at all till you’re ready for DPS , clear adds , move up to portal area , she should be on right side if you haven’t damaged her , shoot tether on left side where she will teleport to after you damage her to prevent her shielding on teleport , damage her having a ball cooked already , and throw it soon as she starts shield animation and finish her , don’t think they can prevent that strat it’s worked for many many seasons now as long as teams damage is good enough and ball timing is right with tether in place
quick note for riptide: even with chill clip it wont stun overloads if you're radiant, but it'll still freeze/stun unstops. Not sure if intentional or not, but ye can't be radiant and chill clip overloads
You mentioned your Apex Predator roll. I love my Recon + Explosive Light for everything outside of raid bosses. Everyone misses out on damage because Bait-and-Switch is better on paper. It's not if you're only doing 1-2 rockets at a time. :]
Personally I was wondering when you would upload this. Was using the same thing just using different fragments than what you were using. Same results though.
hmm i tried it like 1 week ago with the polaris lance or ephocal integration, it's good but nothing crazy, i prefer my shards of galanor build which can pump out more supers and therefore more dmg in boss encounters
hot take really quick i was using tommys matchbook on solar warlock with restoration times 2 and u know it wasnt doin too bad i liked it didnt have to worry about it draining my health while firing it
u should try it with gunpowder gamble instead of on your mark... yeah i know -1 fragment slot.. but if you equip ember of wonder you can make tons of orbs, since ulti kills give you a full charge on gunpowder.. huge ignites ;)
I love being able to use a scout rifle. im still on the fence what i should take as a kinetic. I feel like the whole build is boss focussed. but im missing add clear.
I put myself in a box with nighthawk, after using it with badjuju I can't not use it, but I don't enjoy badjuju, it just doesn't feel like an exotic. So I just put nighthawk back on the shelf because it just feels bad to me not getting the ult every 10 seconds. Going to keep going with the disgusting strand new bow build
Nighthawk is busted in gambit too. 6 stacks of primeval slayer radiant and weaken one shots the primeval from about 60-70% health i haven’t had the opportunity to see it do more so it could be better
I accidentally solo flawlessed a master lost sector with polaris/nighthawk. 10/10 recommend. Ignitions for unstoppable, solar anti barier when radiant. It's amazing.
I'm struggling this season since my two favorite weapons(Polaris and Sunshot) are both insanely good, it's like mom and dad are fighting every time I login to play and can't figure out which one I want to run with, lol.
Some times you can bring the orb through the portal and make her unimmune early and kill her on your way to the last arena unless they've patched that too
Team composition wise, it's still beneficial to have either on Stasis Warlock or a Strand Hunter/Titan. Both of the Polaris Lance users would then benefit from Torch artifact.
@pandroo6899 true, but can't those can be applied via Chill Clip, Slice, or the Unraveling Rounds artifact mod without needing to be on a specific subclass?

I no longer play, but it makes my heart really happy to hear that Polaris Lance metahh. Always been one of my favs.

nah i have seen people doing it under 20 minutes back then too.
I dont think its only about powercreep, its about players getting better aswell and finding more efficient ways to complete a run
If it was still taking people 40 min to run something they have ran for 2 plus years.... than the d2 community would be legally brain dead

run heavy ammo finder or have someone with aeons or that ugly warlock helm and heavy ammo is bountiful and you won't have a deadweight perk

7:02 Watch how fast the super bar fills!
Mine fills up nowhere near as fast
all exotic primaries will fill super bar fast
That “build card” you provide at the start of the video is a straight boss move cross.
Did you do any testing to see if Dragonfly kills or ignitions triggered by a precision shot got the increased super gains from Celestial?
Yes. Thank you for fixing your mistake of leaving out hunters. Love to see some Hunter love
polaris lances versatility this season makes it so good
I had no idea you could just sparrow over to the side at the start there lol
This is what I’ve been running. Great build.
Thumbnail is gold
Been using this for the past week or so. I am at the top of raid leaderboards consistently with it.
your vids are really good, your videos fixed my mood🌸🌸🌸
Idkkkk, the dawn chorus with Polaris is absolutely wild, and absolutely cleans house
Sounds like a new mic on this recording, sounds amazing
This loadout really makes The Corrupted GM a piece of cake
Wow the nighthawk is actually usable now. Ya love to see it
I really hope this build will be viable even after the artifact mods are gone, I absolutely love this build
Yeah when you mentioned the other builds my first thought was “He totally forgot Nighthawk got buffed”
Completely forgot about that precision buff 🤭
Nice to see that scout rifle being put to good use
Damn it Cross its 3am and you make me want to get on now and do some nightfalls just to ignite stuff all night long sooooooo satisfying!

9:56 The words of an equal opportunity teabagger.
Cross it would be great if we could see your stat splits as well when making these build videos pls
Is there a reason you have kinetic weapon surge on instead of solar weapon surge?
quick note for riptide: even with chill clip it wont stun overloads if you're radiant, but it'll still freeze/stun unstops. Not sure if intentional or not, but ye can't be radiant and chill clip overloads
It's probably because the effect that stuns unstoppables isn't the freeze, it's the shatter damage, so it's technically tied to a secondary effect.
Polaris Lance has been my favorite scout for years. Just wish it had a cooler sound.
Opinion on using scatter god craft instead of riptide?
Since cross can’t think a good name for this build I’ll do it myself. This build is now called “celestial ignition”
I Use it with the exotic spire dungeon bow, that guidance ring mode is a cracked super feeder man!
Oh man, i just luv the sound of Polaris Lance 😎👌
So many Hunters were running this in last week's GM

I can second this. Its what I've used for my runs and I even kill the boss in the first room.
I used Apex Predator instead of hothead. You can also use the crafted stasis rocket as well. ( I forget the name of it).
Are the 2x kinetic surges in the legs good or are they better as solar? Asking for a friend. 😛
The kinetic surges (only up to 2 mods) boost Golden Gun's damage opposed to the solar surges
