A build from someone who has actually played Warlock and understands that this meta is all about building transcendence without using Kinetic, well done! I'd like to add that if you wanted to switch the exotic for Microcosm for any content with Subjugator's etc, you can build ridiculous darkness transcendence with Lost Signal. Overall I think Final Warning is generally better but you may run into situations where it's out-ranged by the encounter.
Lol despite dabbling in all the different classes with buildcrafting, warlock always calls me back 🤣 I just can't escape it's God-tier survivability! And yeah microcosm is a great alternative for something like the witness or subjugators in general. I just wanted to stay true to the build in the footage (minus the very few swaps I did to crack shield in the solo flawless GOTD) but there's always room to play around with a build and find some alternatives!!!
@@RussellandJacobMontagevideos from my understanding I believe you build the meter faster with a light or darkness attuned weapon, even with facet of grace kinetics just don't quite hit the mark. It works, but it's more efficient to do it with damage attuned to that subclass type (light or dark). So building into autonomous charging of light (as we do) while actively charging darkness gives us maximum uptime on transcendence
@@ERElement77 fair fair but it is a well known tactic people use to boost engagement (mispronunciation so people comment about it lol) so it’s entirely possible it’s both
Sir. I’ve been a titan main since D1. I played your warlock build here, and sadly, titans really, really got shafted when it comes to prismatic. Thank you for making Destiny fun and giving me a build that makes it feel like I’ve entered a cheat code.
Hahaha always glad to hear people enjoy, especially longtime players! At the end of the day if I’m making the game a more fun and enjoyable experience for people I’d call that a success 😎 I’m working on some titan builds too so hopefully I’ll have something for you in the future 🫡
@@benklusnick153 you're definitely in the minority at least in this comment section and in my discord. I think warlock definitely has access to the easiest survivability with feed the void devour and some great exotic combos with prismatic. Hunters have celestial still hunt for dps, and stylish executioner for invis. Titans whole kit is centered around melees and it's their only form of gaining health as well unless you run buried bloodline for devour which severely limits it's capabilities
@@D2Novi dont get me wrong, i love devour. Great for staying alive but its basically required for any build. Limits everything else when hunters can teleport, go invis, do the most damage and pretty much everything else for free.
@@benklusnick153 by that logic I think titans are far more limited with their heals being tied to melees versus just one ability final blows and then any final blow to refresh it infinitely
It might please/displease you to know that for the Final Warning: charging it up fully actually nerfs total damage potential you can do with the Pick Your Poison perk. There’s a technique to half charge and quick tap that deals *significantly* more damage in the same amount of time. I suggest checking out Maven’s video on it!
@@D2Novioh dang if you did then sorry I ended up missing it at some point during the full video! I replayed the 5:42 section a few times before making the comment, since the specific technique of doing a half charge burst followed up by tapping the trigger wasn’t mentioned there I’ll leave the comment in case anyone needs a vid recommendation on going more in depth on how to do it and how it works
@@RealityRogue no I think you’re right. I think I failed to actually elaborate on it on how to actually do it, but I believe my other video with swarmers and prismatic warlock I mentioned it now that I’m thinking of it
this build is basically what I run for everything now, except I use bleak watcher (yes i know, original) over helion because I much prefer crowd control and because the turret can deal with both unstop and overloads. but also because it helps fuel transcendence really fast. only fragment differences is that I use purpose (restoration on orb pickups means you can forgo recuperation and run triple surges or a scav with two surges instead) and courage (buff arc soul and song of flame damage after hitting them with freeze or unravel). it’s so rare to have a build that can just do everything, I’ve used this in basically every GM up to this week with great success, used it in the master raid (encounters 1,3 and 4) and even solo flawed a dungeon. if im being honest, I haven’t switched off another build since putting it together (minus for well, or if im doing something for boss DPS in which I switch to star eaters nova bomb), it’s literally perfect for onslaught as well. as “boring” as some might find the build, it’s extremely effective and it’s basically replaced sunbracers for me.
Yeah I just prefer big booms over freezing honestly. I find freezing to not rly be effective vs barriers cuz they can shield before the next freeze, but I’m wondering if u meant overloads not barriers as it stuns with the slow. A great build, but in high end I find bleakwatcher to be a little lackluster for my taste (again, a great build, just not my style
yeahhh I meant using stasis turret for slow to deal with overloads, can also freeze to deal with unstops (through i usually run a rocket sidearm this season just because relying on turret for freeze can’t work all the time) then the radiant in melee for anti barrier, kind of a lazy way to be able to deal with all champion types without a lost of investment.
@@irrelevantnamehandle yeah, I rely partially on trancendence uptime since we have it so often for overload stuns, but we also have the hand cannon if needed. Then final warning for unstops and radiant for barriers. Super easy playstyle when we have transcendence up like every minute lol
@@augomatthiaz5047 sorry just saw this comment, absolutely! If you follow the mobalytics link its got all the build info and actually has a dim feature build in so you can copy the build itself there!
You’ve just taught me more about this game in 10 minutes then the time I’ve played it. I’m a warlock and was wondering why I was so behind. I don’t know how to build properly and this was the most informative video I’ve come across. Like and subscribe from me man. And thank you, you really made me feel a bit more confident with playing the game!!!
If you use the bleak watcher turret you can literally control every fight with unlimited freezing turrets constant grenade recharge and constant devour. It requires the fully crafted sidearm brigands law with enhanced threat detector and enhanced voltshot which provides the fastest voltshot reload activation in the game. Each ionic trace will nearly recharge your grenade. Bleakwatchers are only limited by their time they exist. Un like hellion its a single shooter the turrets become insane. Great build for Solar btw
I believe bleakwatchers can he destroyed my enemies, which is one of my issues with it. I also love the fact that this build requires very easy to acquire key components, so the brigands law route is something I wouldn't twnd to put in a build video. I've tried bleakwatcher, I've tried hellion. Hellion just feels much more viable to me. I hate the fact that bleakwatcher is in a set spot, whereas hellion moves with you
Man I just wanted to say thanks for this. I’ve been a Warlock main since D1, I’ve been using the getaway build since discovering it months ago after prismatic but I’ve been using it with bleak watcher instead of hellion. It felt strong but not strong enough to do stuff like solo dungeon bosses. Copying this build I feel like an absolute god. How fast transcendence comes back up is insane if things get hairy you can literally pop your super or transcendence to bail you out because one or both is always up. Gave you a well deserved sub.
I've watched a lot of warlock build vids since the launch of TFS and this is the best one by far. I was put off at first by getaway because I find the loop to be boring but your loop off chaining supers and prismatic made it so much more fun. Also great pick with final warning, made me really enjoy the weapon. It slaps
Glad you liked! Yeah I never rly bought into the whole loop with bleakwatcher personally, but I knew the synergy was there somewhere with getaways. Glad I was able to cook something up that works this well! Enjoy 🤠
Tried this build out all day yesterday and absolutely loved it, expensive on the Mod side but now I've seen how good and how much fun it is i will get on the armor grind again to offset the mods and get better stats. tks for the vid. subbed for sure...
Just used this build to solo Warlords Ruin, nearly solo flawlessed if i didnt choke with the final boss melee debuff, which was entirely my fault and not the build. i did swap to the stasis turret over hellion solely because i use aberrant action for add clear which fills my light bar easily and the stasis turret helps build the dark bar passively. love this build overall and will be trying again for the flawless soon.
I'd definitely recommend trying with hellion on the next run. Just such a great option with final warning. Though I can't blame you for using abberant, thing is absolutely juiced, so in that instance bleakwatcher for sure makes sense
Great build! I am still trying to get Buried Bloodline, which i think is even a better build at the end of the day, since it allows to get devour without using the aspect and being able to run both Hellion and Stasis turret, and it hurts quite a lot. But until i'll finally get it, this will be the build to go (i was using almost the same before, but with The Call and Microcosm)
I love buried bloodline but my problem is maintaining devour then becomes a chore. U actually tried that exact build u were talking about in a GM and while it was manageable I found myself running out of devour far too often, rendering it all but useless
Lolll for the record not trying to blow my teammate up, I always shoot those so they don't blow us up while fighting lol. Evidently I almost did exactly that
New subscriber here. First off, I thought the video was well done. The explanations were excellent. The main reason why I subscribed was simply because you actually know how to play the content and are not just some armchair UA-camr. If I could make a suggestion, at the end of your video, bring up your character and then go through the build because it connects you with the character build, and then run through the actual build/weapons and artifacts, etc., etc. Just my two cents😜 I Also, if you could provide DIM links in the future, that would be just another bonus, but not completely necessary. Have an amazing day! The real question, if you had to choose the best character to play all high-end/GM Contant, which character would you use? The warlock, Hunter, or the Titan?
Definitely some things to consider! And as far as the dim link goes, I actually have a plug and play dim link on the mobalytics page. I just keep it on there because I like it to be easy to access all in one place (along with an infographic of the build much like what you were suggesting with the character screen and artifact mods) And then: I gotta say warlock. Devour is such a ridiculously strong piece of the kit, hunters damage capabilities are definitely better with still hunt nighthawk, but I feel like as a solo player survival is far more important than DPS (unless you are doing something like, soloing the witness for example. In which case: do whatever you want lol)
Switch out Feed the Void with Deterministic Chaos exotic LMG for volatile rounds so you can have Bleak Watcher equipped with Hellion, also have a Strand weapon that creates Threadlings. That way you have 4 elemental buddies at any given moment.
A) I can confidently say I will never use determinatic chaos in it's current state 🤣 B) Unfortunately that would kill our easy constant heals, making this build useless in endgame
Finale Warning is probably one of the most hard hitting weapons in the game. It just melts everything and yellow bars get cooked, tossed and get served with a side of whoop-ass.
Dude i am sorry to say i was skeptical but i tried this build. OMFG you are dead right, it slaps harder than a Mac truck! New favorite build by far thank you so much for this one! 🙌🏻
@@D2Novi not because I didn’t think you nailed it, just everyone and their grandma is putting out a getaway build and I’ve tried several variations. But this is PEAK
@@devak45167 oh don't I know lol. I was tempted to put one out sooner with the stasis turret but it just felt like it was missing something (and the fact that EVERYONE made videos in it). Generally I try to stay away from builds that are already well established as a meta option unless they were like brand new, and by the time I woulda made the getaway stasis video it's like what's the point. Glad I waited tho cuz this is def one of my greatest creations lol
Very informative video. Maybe I will do this build for my lock. I find it very much to take in with other videos but this made me really wanna play it. Thanks again!
I personally prefer bleak watchers for the added crowd control and it's increased independence for solo content (don't have to be out in the open for it to work). But hellion does deal crap loads of damage.
Yeah the devour is honestly more than enough for the survivability, so I feel like hellion is better suited for both damage and auto charging of light transcendence
As someone who’s been trying to SF warlords ruin for like three weeks now trying all different builds including getaway artist/ khvostov which consistently got me to final boss, I’ll be trying this tomorrow. I can’t wait
Multiple people here in the comments have already used it to solo flawless! Just don't be afraid to pop ur super or transcendence for damage resist when securing totems, that boss can be quite annoying sometimes
@@D2Novi maybe resilience is the problem but I don’t have any materials to upgrade higher resil armor, I don’t think I have much higher than maybe tier 6, damage isn’t greatest too seeing as I don’t have that roll on scintillation. Best I have is auto loading BnS edge transit, rapid hit BnS Line in the sand, envious reservoir scintillation.
Eh. Bleakwatchers fine and all, but I like the combination of solar and arc buddy for autonomous adclear. Bleakwatcher is great for ad control, but pretty useless in a DPS scenario. My goal with this build was a true one stop shop for any and every activity in the game
Ayyyy gang. I'll be honest I was a bit sad the catalyst wasn't better, until I remembered it's already phenomenal and a better catalyst would just get it nerfed faster lol
Doomed petitioner from season of the wish us a great heavy alternative, and any hand cannon (preferably with demo) is great for stunning overloads. Neither are really essential to the build but that's just what I personally run
Great build & subbed. - I have a similar build & take time dilation in place of the charge perks & take a 3rd resist and an extra strand surge. - I only just got the Final warning catalyst yesterday and am grinding out the kills to install that! - Generally if I am running the 2 charge perks I pair that with a kickstart mod of some form. The downside, you would give up powerful attraction or have to downgrade your stat mod That's the great thing with this game, so many options depending on our playstyles :) Keep up the good work!
I’ve thought of this but I don’t like having to maintain devour with weapon final blows if I can help it. Becomes a pain in GMs when your teammates keep stealing ur final blows lol
Let me know if you find anything interesting. After extensive testing I found the options I went with gave us maximum damage capabilities and transcendence virtually instantly, so there wasn't much of anything else that intrigued me with this particular build
I recommend swapping facet of sacrifice for courage to deal increased damage with our buddies when we unravel things (or slow with bleakwatcher over hellion)
Timestamps to skim as you please, or just plug and play with the mobalytics link! Starting out I personally loved watching build videos to learn about new synergies and whatnot that I didn't know about/ hadn't considered.
@@D2Novithe last time I spent significant time playing was with the taken king I think. OR the raid which drops the heritage and 7th seraph weapons . Played the heck out of destiny 1 .
@@mc3yakisoba ah yeah fair it's a lot more going on since d1 for sure. If you look up the destiny data compendium you can find a lot of information about different buffs, exotics, abilities, etc. Great tool for beginners
So Song of Flame can cast grenades faster than demolitionists internal cooldown. You can Grenade + Rocket + Snap (to buy time for the cooldown) and just empty whatever rocket ammo you have equipped. Not sure if this would out damage bait and switch stuff, just wondering if you'd tested it at all?
In case you didn't know, final warningbisbthe highest dps weapon in the game, according to many high end destiny players that have done extensive testing on all the top tier weapons.
Thoughts on Facet of dominance for this build? I figured since anti barrier snipers are back i swapped out dawn for dominance so i can have both weakening + jolting nades.
@@SoranLeif mobalytics should have the stat prioritization. I typically max resil and discipline, and then go recovery, and the other 3 are whatever they are lol
Hey, you mentioned at the end that there would be an uncut video of damage phases in the description. I do not see it. If you are still making the video I apologize for being impatient.
I honestly just got so busy I didn’t put it all together and post it lol, I just have been heads down working towards the next one (and other stuff in life in general). I’d be happy to get it posted soon tho!
That's why we have facet of dawn. Pop a melee attack to proc radiant before the barrier puts shield up, one shot it with scintillation, even in grandmasters. Just monitoring barriers and acting accordingly will give us easy stuns (our super also grants us radiant so we can just pop that and one shot the shield followed by nuking them with the remaining super) I've used this build in a bunch of GM runs, barriers shouldn't be an issue if used properly
Hand cannon is only necessary if you need to stun overloads, otherwise run whatever your heart desires. Scintillation also not necessary but a good option for sure. Any other good damage heavy tho is nice. GLs, linears, rockets. Etc.
@@suroja1 cataphract from trials, Apex predator from last wish, or taipan are decent options. Just powercreep ya know lol. Hard to just ramble off options that you may or may not have. I'd def ask people you play with and like lfgs etc and watch some videos to familiarize yourself with the best options!
This build is so much better with buried bloodline it’s like running 3 aspects bc you can use bleek watcher instead of feed the void and you get weaken with the catalyst so void weapons do more damage pair it with nova or song of flame it wrecks
Great option, however then our transcendence is going to take far longer to charge, which just feels wrong for me on prismatic lol. But ur correct, I was just thinking of that synergy with feed the void and bloodline and how it will essentially give us on command weaken all the time
Both the hand Cannon and scintillation are just good options, but absolutely not necessary! Another linear fusion rifle in the heavy slot could definitely be used (especially if it has good perks), and another hand cannon absolutely can be used as well as it's primary use is just for overload stuns. If you are running activities without overloads feel free to run anything (I'd recommend maybe a fusion rifle or a rocket sidearm)
Wouldn’t facet of courage be more beneficial here instead of devotion? It seems like the light transcendence energy is fast enough from the hellion and arc buddy.
Definitely is an option. Or the one that causes explosions from ability final blows while transcendent. I hesrd someone tried that in the comments here and it was pretty fun
I personally prefer Bleak Watcher over Hellion (Easier Anti-Champion effects and CCs are more of my style), and I also like to take Facet of Balance for Grenade Energy on Darkness Multikills (especially since Final Warning and Unraveled projectiles both can accomplish this easily) and Melee Energy on Light Multikills. I also prefer Pro Memoria for the Heavy (Reconstruction with Bait & Switch feels fantastic on it!), and I’ll probably rock the new Solar Rocket Sidearm when it comes out!
Yeah honestly bleakwatcher feels overrated to me (also there are like 400,000 videos abt it lol) Great ad control, but with hellion and arc soul you rly don’t have any ads to control anymore (they’re all deleted lol). Plus with the artifact mod coming at reset that will give us increased damage and size to our ignitions, this is shaping up to be even better for dps
@@D2Novi I agree, Hellion is by-far the better option once DPS is involved (I’m likely gonna save a loadout slot for this build regardless) and Bleak Watcher is a bit overused for most versions of this kind of build. I just personally prefer to give more utility to my abilities and focus on damage with my weapons, so Bleak Watcher’s ability to lock down areas and let me focus on the bigger threats first is more valuable for most of the content I play. That being said, I still like your take, and it’s a safe bet that I’ll be using it for DPS in Raids or Dungeons when needed!
@@superbrony7777 yeah definitely each has their use case. Bleakwatcher maybe is better in certain GM settings or onslaught where there’s just a ridiculous amount of enemies to deal with. Glad you enjoyed tho! I will be hellion gang for life 🤣🤣🤣
@@assassinmaster1234 What source did you get that from? As far as I’m aware, the Bleak Watcher/Getaway Artist interaction is intentional and not leaving any time soon
Is this build also useful if I don‘t have the road sidearm? I recently just finished lightfall campaign and don‘t have the weapon yet.. are there any replacements?
@@D2Novi I find that in particular very satisfying, though all in all, I can't get enough of this build. Only problem is that I don't think the chest piece looks that good, even with the ornament.. And the fact that I have no need to use any other weapon than my sidearm, unless were at the big boss.
I really don't want to get every single fragment for the strand subclass to get the final warning, does this build still work efficiently with the Call Strand pistol?
Honestly if you're not running an activity with overloads you can run literally anything in the secondary (I just recommended it for the guaranteed stun) If you are running an activity with overloads, I just like a hand cannon with demo so I never have to reload it
@@D2Novi THansk for the input! I'd like to get the Final Warning but am new to Detiny and haven't touched Lightfall once. Wouldn't it be a ton of time to complete everything just to get this exotic?
I'd definitely recommend getting final warning, the other two can be substituted for any better weapons fit to the activity you are doing (can't go wrong with a fusion/ rocket sidearm and a good rocket or gl)
I do what I can 🤠 glad to hear people appreciate it! It is certainly a time consuming endeavor to make the build, script it, record, edit gameplay and audio, etc etc etc, so I’m always glad to hear it’s appreciated!
I believe mobalytics has the stats ranking of importance, if I recall it's resil, then discipline, then recovery, and then the other 3 are kinda just dump stats mostly
bro i literally did warlords ruin solo like a week ago with exactly this build but some different weapons for bosses xD i happend to get the catalyst for final warning not so long ago and decided to make a build and ended up with basically whats in the video and it really slaps
Lollll it’s a great combo. Final warning after the quicksilver nerf is just so juicy, especially with the catalyst (as if it rly needed more damage lol)
wait wait wait, what do you mean pre nerf devour? do you mean warlock devour which is 200, and 100 for subclasses without feed the void? im asking becuase i just got back and dont know abot a recent devour nerf
Yes so devour got nerfed for all classes and I believe gives essentially 1/2 of what it once did for hp and grenade energy at base. However, when feed the void is equipped you get the full heal and 2x more grenade energy than base Am I making sense or did I word that weirdly?
@@D2Novi so what I'm hearing is, if I play voidlock without feed the void(boosts to 200), but have devour from orbs, I'll only get 50hp (half of the base 100) from an orb, and 50hp from any kills during the duration of devour 🤔
@@pecador_tor if you don't use feed the void I believe you get 100 per defeat. If you do use feed the void you get the full 200 HP heal if I remember correctly (been a while since I looked at the numbers)
@@pecador_tor 🫡, sorry if I made it more confusing than it needed to be lol, but yes it's essentially a full heal and more grenade energy (as it once was for all characters in the glory days)
@@Stretchycat36 oh I’m always cooking something new up. I literally just play with builds all the time lol, so I’m sure I’ll have another prismatic titan in the works. I did post one a few weeks back if you wanna check it out. Uses ergo sum and strongholds for some great survivability
I'm having an issue trying to solo the final boss in Warlords ruin as devour doesn't always proc off an arcane needle melee kill and then I get deleted lol I will try this build out to see if it helps me get over the line.
Usually i just look at an enemy with an arc soul and proc it instantly lol. Also survival is the name of the game so if u gotta pop transcendence or super while ur cleaning the totems by all means do what I gotta do to keep the run alive
@@Aries_Alpha yeah that my biggest issue with necrotics. I feel like it should since it's applied with the melee. Feels a bit foolish that it procs the final blow based on an ability and doesn't count
While this is definitely a great all-around build, I don’t think it’s really possible to narrow down a true “best” warlock build, (although it does make for a good title 😏)but this is definitely a contender. Another contender that I think you should consider taking a look at is the Prismatic Mataiodoxia + Khvostov. The transcendence gains are down right nasty with Khvostov, and Mataiodoxia is waaaaay better than I ever thought it would be when I saw the disappointing trailer for it before Final Shape came out
Yeah honestly for me it’s just the all around capability of this build that imo makes it the best in the game rn. Survival, damage, team play, solo, GMs, raids. It don’t matter, this thing rocks anything That being said tho, I love matadoxia lol I’ve been messing with some builds using it. It’s a great GM exotic! I’ve got a few other ideas for exotic and ability pairings tho 🤔
Word ofcrota can be crafted, but is by no means a requirement for the build. Its just easy to use for overload stuns with demo. Scintillation is definitely a good fit for the build for crit based DPS, but there are definitely other options that are craftable (doomed petitioner for example)
Usually I go recovery since our melees recharge faster with transcendence and our class ability doesn't (or if it does it's a way slower rate, I don't know off the top of my head)
@@vici222 not a great pairing just cuz as a kinetic weapon we charge our darkness significantly slower, but its range, single target damage, and antibarrier capabilities may make it a good option if you’re ok with giving up a little transcendence uptime. You could also slot on facet of grace over devotion if you used outbreak since we will have plenty of light transcendence from the buddies plus outbreak
Why use a second primary when you’re pretty much only using final warning? You’d be better off using basically any special weapon in that slot. Use a demo chain forbearance if you want something to feed your abilities or better yet just use something like a reconstruction wild style that you can quickly swap to and swap off of for quick extra damage. Unless it’s specifically for champions there’s never a scenario where running two primaries is better than having a special weapon.
Just hopped back on Warlock after so long. Haven’t been too sure what kind of build to run, but this one looks amazing! Great work. Can’t wait to try it, just gotta get that final warning first ha
Hope you enjoy! Yeah warlock feels super well rounded right now, loving where it’s at. You could try quicksilver until you get final warning, although it won’t be nearly as potent
@@D2Novi Was able to get Final Warning and I must say, this build is so good! I’ve been having a lot of fun. Once you have your solar and arc buddies, transcendence and song of flame going all at once you just can’t be stopped

@@D2Novi hellion is great. But if I'm gonna use hellion I'm not gonna use getaway artist. There's better exotics to use with it. Exotic class item most likely.
@@dontbeshady411 don't knock it till you try it. The double light buddies gives us stupid light uptime for transcendence, and well, Final warning is final warning (need I say more?)

Its one of the best builds in the game rn imo
Ahhh ok maybe I’m stupid (probably) but mobile analytics doesn’t work for an anyone not on pc? Or does it? DIM link? Stat spread?

@@D2Novi hmm yeah my linear and a bunch of other gear are not showing (apparently don’t exist anymore) and a bunch of other stuff has vanished. But apparently the servers are down according to DIM. But I’ll just do it all manually. Will give it all a go in a bit. Thanks for the build. Guess now that I’m subbed I’ll have to go back through other videos and see what other gems you’ve got. This glitchy s#17 isn’t unusual and I’ll figure it out. Thanks :-)
Not a bad pairing as well, however getting euphony rolling will take longer without any threadlings being created. Also, I try to shy away from raid exotics in builds when they’re brand new, just cuz a lot of ppl don’t have it
A build from someone who has actually played Warlock and understands that this meta is all about building transcendence without using Kinetic, well done! I'd like to add that if you wanted to switch the exotic for Microcosm for any content with Subjugator's etc, you can build ridiculous darkness transcendence with Lost Signal. Overall I think Final Warning is generally better but you may run into situations where it's out-ranged by the encounter.
Lol despite dabbling in all the different classes with buildcrafting, warlock always calls me back 🤣 I just can't escape it's God-tier survivability! And yeah microcosm is a great alternative for something like the witness or subjugators in general. I just wanted to stay true to the build in the footage (minus the very few swaps I did to crack shield in the solo flawless GOTD) but there's always room to play around with a build and find some alternatives!!!
Also lost signal is criminally underrated for darkness transcendence
Why “without kinetic?” is facet of grace overused you’re saying?
@@RussellandJacobMontagevideos from my understanding I believe you build the meter faster with a light or darkness attuned weapon, even with facet of grace kinetics just don't quite hit the mark. It works, but it's more efficient to do it with damage attuned to that subclass type (light or dark). So building into autonomous charging of light (as we do) while actively charging darkness gives us maximum uptime on transcendence

Titans whole kit is centered around melees and it's their only form of gaining health as well unless you run buried bloodline for devour which severely limits it's capabilities
@@D2Novi dont get me wrong, i love devour. Great for staying alive but its basically required for any build. Limits everything else when hunters can teleport, go invis, do the most damage and pretty much everything else for free.
@@benklusnick153 by that logic I think titans are far more limited with their heals being tied to melees versus just one ability final blows and then any final blow to refresh it infinitely
It might please/displease you to know that for the Final Warning: charging it up fully actually nerfs total damage potential you can do with the Pick Your Poison perk.
There’s a technique to half charge and quick tap that deals *significantly* more damage in the same amount of time.
I suggest checking out Maven’s video on it!
I do actually know about that lol, when I was talking about final warning I actually mentioned doing short half charge bursts
@@D2Novioh dang if you did then sorry I ended up missing it at some point during the full video!
I replayed the 5:42 section a few times before making the comment, since the specific technique of doing a half charge burst followed up by tapping the trigger wasn’t mentioned there
I’ll leave the comment in case anyone needs a vid recommendation on going more in depth on how to do it and how it works
@@RealityRogue no I think you’re right. I think I failed to actually elaborate on it on how to actually do it, but I believe my other video with swarmers and prismatic warlock I mentioned it now that I’m thinking of it
I try a lot of builds and they are underwhelming. This is one of the first that actually lived up to the video. Thank you!
Yeah it’s def my favorite build rn 🤠 I spent so much time testing in so many different activities lol, so I’m glad you enjoyed 🫡🫡🫡
Perfect plug for asking for the Sub. You definitely earned it with that info bomb.
Lol I'm not gonna lie, I learned that myself when writing it
this build is basically what I run for everything now, except I use bleak watcher (yes i know, original) over helion because I much prefer crowd control and because the turret can deal with both unstop and overloads. but also because it helps fuel transcendence really fast. only fragment differences is that I use purpose (restoration on orb pickups means you can forgo recuperation and run triple surges or a scav with two surges instead) and courage (buff arc soul and song of flame damage after hitting them with freeze or unravel).
it’s so rare to have a build that can just do everything, I’ve used this in basically every GM up to this week with great success, used it in the master raid (encounters 1,3 and 4) and even solo flawed a dungeon. if im being honest, I haven’t switched off another build since putting it together (minus for well, or if im doing something for boss DPS in which I switch to star eaters nova bomb), it’s literally perfect for onslaught as well.
as “boring” as some might find the build, it’s extremely effective and it’s basically replaced sunbracers for me.
Yeah I just prefer big booms over freezing honestly. I find freezing to not rly be effective vs barriers cuz they can shield before the next freeze, but I’m wondering if u meant overloads not barriers as it stuns with the slow.
A great build, but in high end I find bleakwatcher to be a little lackluster for my taste (again, a great build, just not my style
yeahhh I meant using stasis turret for slow to deal with overloads, can also freeze to deal with unstops (through i usually run a rocket sidearm this season just because relying on turret for freeze can’t work all the time) then the radiant in melee for anti barrier, kind of a lazy way to be able to deal with all champion types without a lost of investment.
@@irrelevantnamehandle yeah, I rely partially on trancendence uptime since we have it so often for overload stuns, but we also have the hand cannon if needed. Then final warning for unstops and radiant for barriers. Super easy playstyle when we have transcendence up like every minute lol
@@irrelevantnamehandleI would love to try out your exact build! Any chance you could drop a dim link?😁
@@augomatthiaz5047 sorry just saw this comment, absolutely! If you follow the mobalytics link its got all the build info and actually has a dim feature build in so you can copy the build itself there!
You’ve just taught me more about this game in 10 minutes then the time I’ve played it. I’m a warlock and was wondering why I was so behind. I don’t know how to build properly and this was the most informative video I’ve come across. Like and subscribe from me man. And thank you, you really made me feel a bit more confident with playing the game!!!
Glad it helped! I know firsthand how hard destiny can be to get into, so I'm glad it helps to bridge the gap for you!
If you use the bleak watcher turret you can literally control every fight with unlimited freezing turrets constant grenade recharge and constant devour. It requires the fully crafted sidearm brigands law with enhanced threat detector and enhanced voltshot which provides the fastest voltshot reload activation in the game. Each ionic trace will nearly recharge your grenade. Bleakwatchers are only limited by their time they exist. Un like hellion its a single shooter the turrets become insane. Great build for Solar btw
I believe bleakwatchers can he destroyed my enemies, which is one of my issues with it. I also love the fact that this build requires very easy to acquire key components, so the brigands law route is something I wouldn't twnd to put in a build video. I've tried bleakwatcher, I've tried hellion. Hellion just feels much more viable to me. I hate the fact that bleakwatcher is in a set spot, whereas hellion moves with you
Man I just wanted to say thanks for this. I’ve been a Warlock main since D1, I’ve been using the getaway build since discovering it months ago after prismatic but I’ve been using it with bleak watcher instead of hellion. It felt strong but not strong enough to do stuff like solo dungeon bosses.
Copying this build I feel like an absolute god. How fast transcendence comes back up is insane if things get hairy you can literally pop your super or transcendence to bail you out because one or both is always up. Gave you a well deserved sub.
Much appreciated 🤠 another one in the works!
The way everything was broken down earns a sub automatically. I'm definitely trying this build out ASAP
The attention to detail clearly has paid off on my end, I now have my formula for every video going forward!
I've watched a lot of warlock build vids since the launch of TFS and this is the best one by far. I was put off at first by getaway because I find the loop to be boring but your loop off chaining supers and prismatic made it so much more fun.
Also great pick with final warning, made me really enjoy the weapon. It slaps
Glad you liked! Yeah I never rly bought into the whole loop with bleakwatcher personally, but I knew the synergy was there somewhere with getaways. Glad I was able to cook something up that works this well! Enjoy 🤠
With some minor armor changes this has been my day 1 build as soon as I had all facets. Final warning pairs beautifully.
It absolutely shreds. What a great combo and transcendence is up like, always lol
Just used this build to solo the last Final Shape boss mission. ❤❤ just got my speaker's sight 🎉
Let's goooooooo
Tried this build out all day yesterday and absolutely loved it, expensive on the Mod side but now I've seen how good and how much fun it is i will get on the armor grind again to offset the mods and get better stats. tks for the vid. subbed for sure...
Glad you enjoyed 💪💪💪 new build video coming soon 😤😤😤
Just used this build to solo Warlords Ruin, nearly solo flawlessed if i didnt choke with the final boss melee debuff, which was entirely my fault and not the build. i did swap to the stasis turret over hellion solely because i use aberrant action for add clear which fills my light bar easily and the stasis turret helps build the dark bar passively. love this build overall and will be trying again for the flawless soon.
I'd definitely recommend trying with hellion on the next run. Just such a great option with final warning. Though I can't blame you for using abberant, thing is absolutely juiced, so in that instance bleakwatcher for sure makes sense
Great build! I am still trying to get Buried Bloodline, which i think is even a better build at the end of the day, since it allows to get devour without using the aspect and being able to run both Hellion and Stasis turret, and it hurts quite a lot. But until i'll finally get it, this will be the build to go (i was using almost the same before, but with The Call and Microcosm)
I love buried bloodline but my problem is maintaining devour then becomes a chore. U actually tried that exact build u were talking about in a GM and while it was manageable I found myself running out of devour far too often, rendering it all but useless
Hell(ion) yeah dude! Im going to try this for my solo warloards run instead of bleak watcher
Actually was messing with it in warlords in my testing phase of scripting the build video. Can confirm it breezes through every boss 🫡🤠
Excellent video. Probably strongest build I've used... ever.
Also, @D2Novi do you have any artifact updates on this build since the new mods dropped?
I'd definitely equip the new arc mod in 5th column. Free jolt all day
I’ve been using getaway with bleak watcher and was loving it now another one to try! Thanks brother 🔥
I got final warning and i gotta say this build is really good. I’ve done several GM’s now.🙂
We don’t talk about 5:05😳
Lolll for the record not trying to blow my teammate up, I always shoot those so they don't blow us up while fighting lol. Evidently I almost did exactly that
Looks excellent. Unfortunately I don't have Final Warning, but I'm going to try the build with Quicksilver.
Should be a sufficient replacement until you get final warning! I’ll be curious to see how it performs, let me know
Well, this has been resent to all my other warlock mains. Tyvm, great video and fantastic breakdown
Love to hear it's being shared 🤠 and glad you enjoyed!
New subscriber here. First off, I thought the video was well done. The explanations were excellent. The main reason why I subscribed was simply because you actually know how to play the content and are not just some armchair UA-camr. If I could make a suggestion, at the end of your video, bring up your character and then go through the build because it connects you with the character build, and then run through the actual build/weapons and artifacts, etc., etc. Just my two cents😜 I Also, if you could provide DIM links in the future, that would be just another bonus, but not completely necessary. Have an amazing day! The real question, if you had to choose the best character to play all high-end/GM Contant, which character would you use? The warlock, Hunter, or the Titan?
Definitely some things to consider! And as far as the dim link goes, I actually have a plug and play dim link on the mobalytics page. I just keep it on there because I like it to be easy to access all in one place (along with an infographic of the build much like what you were suggesting with the character screen and artifact mods)
And then: I gotta say warlock. Devour is such a ridiculously strong piece of the kit, hunters damage capabilities are definitely better with still hunt nighthawk, but I feel like as a solo player survival is far more important than DPS (unless you are doing something like, soloing the witness for example. In which case: do whatever you want lol)
Update: no longer grants additional grenade energy while Devour is active if using Getaway Artist.
From the hits with the arc soul yes that's correct. An unfortunate nerf, but honestly hardly noticable
@@D2Novi Agreed, one of the less noticeable nerfs IMO. Just wanted to point it out for others who weren't aware.
@@DJScope88 yeah it def sounds much worse than it is. Glad it devour didn't get touched lol, makes warlock so free
I prefer this way more than the Bleak Buddy build.
Another converted disciple of the hellion, welcome brother 👋
Switch out Feed the Void with Deterministic Chaos exotic LMG for volatile rounds so you can have Bleak Watcher equipped with Hellion, also have a Strand weapon that creates Threadlings. That way you have 4 elemental buddies at any given moment.
A) I can confidently say I will never use determinatic chaos in it's current state 🤣
B) Unfortunately that would kill our easy constant heals, making this build useless in endgame
Legit checked
This build is even better than mine, i had to play cowardly with stasis turret & arc turret and rely a lot on guns
This here. Some people keep on saying bleak watcher bleak watcher. But it's just not the same
Im melting everything with this build! Huge thank you! Whats a good energy to pair with Final Warning?
Glad you enjoy! Ive recently been using ikelos sniper for damage. It's great! Otherwise you could opt for the solar rocket sidearm
Finale Warning is probably one of the most hard hitting weapons in the game. It just melts everything and yellow bars get cooked, tossed and get served with a side of whoop-ass.
Lolll such a great exotic. Wish more felt as "exotic" as it did
Dude i am sorry to say i was skeptical but i tried this build. OMFG you are dead right, it slaps harder than a Mac truck! New favorite build by far thank you so much for this one! 🙌🏻
Hell yeah 🤠 That makes it all the more enjoyable when a build proves its strength despite your reservations! Glad you enjoyed 🫡
@@D2Novi not because I didn’t think you nailed it, just everyone and their grandma is putting out a getaway build and I’ve tried several variations. But this is PEAK
@@devak45167 oh don't I know lol. I was tempted to put one out sooner with the stasis turret but it just felt like it was missing something (and the fact that EVERYONE made videos in it). Generally I try to stay away from builds that are already well established as a meta option unless they were like brand new, and by the time I woulda made the getaway stasis video it's like what's the point. Glad I waited tho cuz this is def one of my greatest creations lol
@@D2Novi 💯🙌🏻
Very informative video. Maybe I will do this build for my lock. I find it very much to take in with other videos but this made me really wanna play it. Thanks again!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed 🤠
I personally prefer bleak watchers for the added crowd control and it's increased independence for solo content (don't have to be out in the open for it to work). But hellion does deal crap loads of damage.
Yeah the devour is honestly more than enough for the survivability, so I feel like hellion is better suited for both damage and auto charging of light transcendence
Such a great explanation of everything! I’m going to have to give this a try
Let's gooo, hope you enjoy!
As someone who’s been trying to SF warlords ruin for like three weeks now trying all different builds including getaway artist/ khvostov which consistently got me to final boss, I’ll be trying this tomorrow. I can’t wait
Multiple people here in the comments have already used it to solo flawless! Just don't be afraid to pop ur super or transcendence for damage resist when securing totems, that boss can be quite annoying sometimes
@@D2Novi I can hardly get past second boss 😭 the one time I did I got insta killed by phalanx shield
@@PyroSabr959 what's ur resil at? They should be fairly easy to take out of u have max resil
@@D2Novi maybe resilience is the problem but I don’t have any materials to upgrade higher resil armor, I don’t think I have much higher than maybe tier 6, damage isn’t greatest too seeing as I don’t have that roll on scintillation. Best I have is auto loading BnS edge transit, rapid hit BnS Line in the sand, envious reservoir scintillation.
@@PyroSabr959 definitely prioritize getting resil level 10 before trying the solo flawless again. That's a HUGE difference
This build is so fun. Using so many abilities , it just works like a dance of chaos. 👍
Love to hear it 🤠
This sounds so corny but I would feel so naked without my stasis turret lol. Are you sure I wouldnt miss it? IM SCARED BRO.
Take the leap of faith brother. You won't regret it 🫡🤣 (plenty of bleakwatcher stans have been converted in these here comments)
Goated video i use this build247 but this taught me just a little more about how op it is
I use bleak watcher though way better than hellion
Eh. Bleakwatchers fine and all, but I like the combination of solar and arc buddy for autonomous adclear. Bleakwatcher is great for ad control, but pretty useless in a DPS scenario. My goal with this build was a true one stop shop for any and every activity in the game
Cool build. Final Warning gang! I’m so glad they gave it a great catalyst.
Ayyyy gang. I'll be honest I was a bit sad the catalyst wasn't better, until I remembered it's already phenomenal and a better catalyst would just get it nerfed faster lol
Hands down the best build I have ever used! You got likes and subscription sir!❤🎈
I needed this today lol, glad you enjoyed. It put a smile on my face 🤠
Hey Guardians! What weapons could i use instead of crotas handgun and that linear fusion rifle? Because i dont have those…
Doomed petitioner from season of the wish us a great heavy alternative, and any hand cannon (preferably with demo) is great for stunning overloads. Neither are really essential to the build but that's just what I personally run
@@D2Novithanks ❤
Great build & subbed.
- I have a similar build & take time dilation in place of the charge perks & take a 3rd resist and an extra strand surge.
- I only just got the Final warning catalyst yesterday and am grinding out the kills to install that!
- Generally if I am running the 2 charge perks I pair that with a kickstart mod of some form.
The downside, you would give up powerful attraction or have to downgrade your stat mod
That's the great thing with this game, so many options depending on our playstyles :)
Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed! Yeah a little boost to the damage is never a bad thing 🫡🫡
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for ❤❤❤
Glad you found it 👍🫡🤠
If you use Bleak Watcher instead of Feed the Void and run the Buried Bloodline you can have all 3 turrets and still get Devour
I’ve thought of this but I don’t like having to maintain devour with weapon final blows if I can help it. Becomes a pain in GMs when your teammates keep stealing ur final blows lol
Interesting… I’ll probably try some other weapons, but seems really good all around.
Let me know if you find anything interesting. After extensive testing I found the options I went with gave us maximum damage capabilities and transcendence virtually instantly, so there wasn't much of anything else that intrigued me with this particular build
I recommend swapping facet of sacrifice for courage to deal increased damage with our buddies when we unravel things (or slow with bleakwatcher over hellion)
Sacrifice or devotion could absolutely be swapped with courage, however I find hellion to be far more effective than bleak-watcher in high end content
@@D2Novi oh really? I found the slow for over loads better but it's all just personal preference
@@turtle4935 that's fair, but the damage from ignitions in damage phases and for aoe ad clear feels much more valueable to me
@@D2Novi I'll test it out
@@turtle4935 🫡
What about the new artifacts perks coming in act 2. Will this build work with them ? What artifact perks would you use with this build in act 2 ?
I’ll definitely be adding in the new ignition based one to give our hellion a nice boost!
Thank you!
🫡
Kinda crazy we need an 11 minute video to have a chance to beat and play the content in destiny 2. Is that a good thing? Good video btw, nice work.
Timestamps to skim as you please, or just plug and play with the mobalytics link! Starting out I personally loved watching build videos to learn about new synergies and whatnot that I didn't know about/ hadn't considered.
Yes it’s a great video. I’m just trying to get back into destiny and am kinda dumbfounded how complicated they’ve made it.
@@mc3yakisoba honestly it's not too bad. When was the last time you played?
@@D2Novithe last time I spent significant time playing was with the taken king I think. OR the raid which drops the heritage and 7th seraph weapons . Played the heck out of destiny 1 .
@@mc3yakisoba ah yeah fair it's a lot more going on since d1 for sure. If you look up the destiny data compendium you can find a lot of information about different buffs, exotics, abilities, etc. Great tool for beginners
I made a build like this to solo legendary campaign, I used no time to explain for 3 buddies 😂
Lolll I tried no time too. Final warning is just too good 🤣
So Song of Flame can cast grenades faster than demolitionists internal cooldown. You can Grenade + Rocket + Snap (to buy time for the cooldown) and just empty whatever rocket ammo you have equipped.
Not sure if this would out damage bait and switch stuff, just wondering if you'd tested it at all?
Definitely something I've considered, I just got rid of my good demo hothead after the Starfire neerf way back lol
Going to try it tonight - always liked the final warning so any excuse to use it
My thoughts exactly lol. So free with the 100% damage boost
In case you didn't know, final warningbisbthe highest dps weapon in the game, according to many high end destiny players that have done extensive testing on all the top tier weapons.
Highest DPS primary I would believe, but not highest weapon overall lol
@@D2Novi oh I missed that word, ya Primary xD Working on getting it now, but damn, the Strand Meditation farm is brutalllll
@@Piper0185 yeahhhh lol it's tough for sure
Thoughts on Facet of dominance for this build? I figured since anti barrier snipers are back i swapped out dawn for dominance so i can have both weakening + jolting nades.
That’s definitely an option! Gives a bit more use to the nades beyond just arc buddies
What’s your stat spread look like with this build if you don’t mind me asking?
@@SoranLeif mobalytics should have the stat prioritization. I typically max resil and discipline, and then go recovery, and the other 3 are whatever they are lol
@@D2Novi Thanks for the reply and video! I just got back into Destiny after taking a long break. I can’t wait to test out this build.
@@SoranLeif hopefully it makes the return more enjoyable!
They killed this build today
It’s still 100% viable with devour tbh
Hey, you mentioned at the end that there would be an uncut video of damage phases in the description. I do not see it. If you are still making the video I apologize for being impatient.
I honestly just got so busy I didn’t put it all together and post it lol, I just have been heads down working towards the next one (and other stuff in life in general). I’d be happy to get it posted soon tho!
I honestly would’ve love to make the uncut version at the end but woulda just made the video super long for no reason
This build is sweet but it really struggles against barrier champs. The radiant from the fragment doesnt usually work
That's why we have facet of dawn. Pop a melee attack to proc radiant before the barrier puts shield up, one shot it with scintillation, even in grandmasters. Just monitoring barriers and acting accordingly will give us easy stuns (our super also grants us radiant so we can just pop that and one shot the shield followed by nuking them with the remaining super)
I've used this build in a bunch of GM runs, barriers shouldn't be an issue if used properly
If i dont have word of crota and scintillation(adept) what could i replace em with?
Hand cannon is only necessary if you need to stun overloads, otherwise run whatever your heart desires. Scintillation also not necessary but a good option for sure. Any other good damage heavy tho is nice. GLs, linears, rockets. Etc.
@@D2Novi Im a returning player, is there any particular gl,linear or rocket you would recommend? Havent played since the beginning of lightfall.
@@suroja1 cataphract from trials, Apex predator from last wish, or taipan are decent options. Just powercreep ya know lol. Hard to just ramble off options that you may or may not have. I'd def ask people you play with and like lfgs etc and watch some videos to familiarize yourself with the best options!
This build is so much better with buried bloodline it’s like running 3 aspects bc you can use bleek watcher instead of feed the void and you get weaken with the catalyst so void weapons do more damage pair it with nova or song of flame it wrecks
Bloodline is a myth
Great option, however then our transcendence is going to take far longer to charge, which just feels wrong for me on prismatic lol. But ur correct, I was just thinking of that synergy with feed the void and bloodline and how it will essentially give us on command weaken all the time
You’ll get it someday 🤣
I don't have many exclusive weapons like the hand canon or scintillation yet. Anything else I could use?
Both the hand Cannon and scintillation are just good options, but absolutely not necessary! Another linear fusion rifle in the heavy slot could definitely be used (especially if it has good perks), and another hand cannon absolutely can be used as well as it's primary use is just for overload stuns. If you are running activities without overloads feel free to run anything (I'd recommend maybe a fusion rifle or a rocket sidearm)
@d2Nova - Do you think the latest changes to Feed the Void changes the commentary in this video? Thoughts
Nope, still great. Maybe less energy in DPS phases but let’s be real, the arc soul lasts like at least 1/2 of any damage phase in the game
Wouldn’t facet of courage be more beneficial here instead of devotion? It seems like the light transcendence energy is fast enough from the hellion and arc buddy.
Definitely is an option. Or the one that causes explosions from ability final blows while transcendent. I hesrd someone tried that in the comments here and it was pretty fun
I personally prefer Bleak Watcher over Hellion (Easier Anti-Champion effects and CCs are more of my style), and I also like to take Facet of Balance for Grenade Energy on Darkness Multikills (especially since Final Warning and Unraveled projectiles both can accomplish this easily) and Melee Energy on Light Multikills. I also prefer Pro Memoria for the Heavy (Reconstruction with Bait & Switch feels fantastic on it!), and I’ll probably rock the new Solar Rocket Sidearm when it comes out!
Yeah honestly bleakwatcher feels overrated to me (also there are like 400,000 videos abt it lol) Great ad control, but with hellion and arc soul you rly don’t have any ads to control anymore (they’re all deleted lol). Plus with the artifact mod coming at reset that will give us increased damage and size to our ignitions, this is shaping up to be even better for dps
@@D2Novi I agree, Hellion is by-far the better option once DPS is involved (I’m likely gonna save a loadout slot for this build regardless) and Bleak Watcher is a bit overused for most versions of this kind of build. I just personally prefer to give more utility to my abilities and focus on damage with my weapons, so Bleak Watcher’s ability to lock down areas and let me focus on the bigger threats first is more valuable for most of the content I play. That being said, I still like your take, and it’s a safe bet that I’ll be using it for DPS in Raids or Dungeons when needed!
@@superbrony7777 yeah definitely each has their use case. Bleakwatcher maybe is better in certain GM settings or onslaught where there’s just a ridiculous amount of enemies to deal with. Glad you enjoyed tho! I will be hellion gang for life 🤣🤣🤣
They are stopping the interaction soon between bleak watcher and getaway artist. Unless you’re speaking of using it in general.
@@assassinmaster1234 What source did you get that from? As far as I’m aware, the Bleak Watcher/Getaway Artist interaction is intentional and not leaving any time soon
im new to the game, what 3 stats should i try to aim to max out for this build?
I opt for resilience -> discipline -> recovery for this build
Is this build also useful if I don‘t have the road sidearm? I recently just finished lightfall campaign and don‘t have the weapon yet.. are there any replacements?
Try the rocket sidearm from TFS (it's called the call) great option to replace it
If I don’t have final warning can you give some other weapon recommendations to fill that role?
You could try quicksilver storm or the call rocket sidearm!
Basically using the same with Mataiodoxia. No matter the content it just shreds everything.
I'm working on a matadoxia build rn 😏
@@D2Novi nice, enjoy. It's very strong, and I very rarely see others use the build.
@@hexia6760 yeah it’s hard slept on, especially for content with barriers
@@D2Novi I find that in particular very satisfying, though all in all, I can't get enough of this build. Only problem is that I don't think the chest piece looks that good, even with the ornament.. And the fact that I have no need to use any other weapon than my sidearm, unless were at the big boss.
@@hexia6760 I been using it with that smg from iron banner with kinetic tremors. So much fun lol, but yeah it’s a lot of fun for sure!
I really don't want to get every single fragment for the strand subclass to get the final warning, does this build still work efficiently with the Call Strand pistol?
Yes, but I would strongly recommend getting final warning eventually. Not even specifically for this build just amazing in general
what can you use instead of word of crota? i dont have that, but have everything else
Honestly if you're not running an activity with overloads you can run literally anything in the secondary (I just recommended it for the guaranteed stun) If you are running an activity with overloads, I just like a hand cannon with demo so I never have to reload it
Any other guns you could replace Final Warning with? I don't have that one.
The call rocket sidearm could be adequate, but I'd strongly recommend getting final warning asap. Super strong!
@@D2Novi THansk for the input! I'd like to get the Final Warning but am new to Detiny and haven't touched Lightfall once. Wouldn't it be a ton of time to complete everything just to get this exotic?
This is a great video. I have none of the weapons you suggested. What are some good replacements? Thanks.
I'd definitely recommend getting final warning, the other two can be substituted for any better weapons fit to the activity you are doing (can't go wrong with a fusion/ rocket sidearm and a good rocket or gl)
New Sub from me .. keep up the good work and explanation as some of us really appreciate that 😃 especially us Older gamers !!
I do what I can 🤠 glad to hear people appreciate it! It is certainly a time consuming endeavor to make the build, script it, record, edit gameplay and audio, etc etc etc, so I’m always glad to hear it’s appreciated!
Thanks for the video but i have a question. which abilities are on 100 ? And which perks use in the season artifact? Maybe you have a Picture please.
I believe mobalytics has the stats ranking of importance, if I recall it's resil, then discipline, then recovery, and then the other 3 are kinda just dump stats mostly
Hmmmm i have the feeling that getaway artis is in meta rn cuz of this invinsible warlock build
Meta indeed
bro i literally did warlords ruin solo like a week ago with exactly this build but some different weapons for bosses xD i happend to get the catalyst for final warning not so long ago and decided to make a build and ended up with basically whats in the video and it really slaps

Let’s gooo I appreciate it! Yeah warlock hasn’t felt this strong in a long time. I’m absolutely loving prismatic warlock
wait wait wait, what do you mean pre nerf devour? do you mean warlock devour which is 200, and 100 for subclasses without feed the void?
im asking becuase i just got back and dont know abot a recent devour nerf
Yes so devour got nerfed for all classes and I believe gives essentially 1/2 of what it once did for hp and grenade energy at base. However, when feed the void is equipped you get the full heal and 2x more grenade energy than base
Am I making sense or did I word that weirdly?
@@D2Novi so what I'm hearing is, if I play voidlock without feed the void(boosts to 200), but have devour from orbs, I'll only get 50hp (half of the base 100) from an orb, and 50hp from any kills during the duration of devour 🤔
@@pecador_tor if you don't use feed the void I believe you get 100 per defeat. If you do use feed the void you get the full 200 HP heal if I remember correctly (been a while since I looked at the numbers)
@@D2Novi ohhh ok ok, got it
@@pecador_tor 🫡, sorry if I made it more confusing than it needed to be lol, but yes it's essentially a full heal and more grenade energy (as it once was for all characters in the glory days)
Is the call a good substitute for final warning? The gun play with final warning feels so slow.
Its adequate for sure. Try burst firing the final warning instead of fully charging it. It feels way better to use and way less clunky
What stats should be focused on?
Resilience and discipline to tier 10 if you can, then get recovery up as much as possible after that!
i mightve missed it but whats your stat focus?
It’s on the mobalytics page, but it’s resilience, discipline, recovery
@@D2Novi thank you! ive been loving this build btw. quickly became my favorite build so far.
@@donnielarkins let’s goooo glad you enjoyed 😃
Do you have an alternate recommendation for the exotic or non Exotic weapon?
The call rocket sidearm from TFS would be a great alternative
Subbed. Great vid
glad you like 🤠
@D2Novi just built this and it slaps! Need a good titan prismatic if you're looking for ideas lol
@@Stretchycat36 oh I’m always cooking something new up. I literally just play with builds all the time lol, so I’m sure I’ll have another prismatic titan in the works. I did post one a few weeks back if you wanna check it out. Uses ergo sum and strongholds for some great survivability
@@D2Novi I will check it out!!
I'm having an issue trying to solo the final boss in Warlords ruin as devour doesn't always proc off an arcane needle melee kill and then I get deleted lol I will try this build out to see if it helps me get over the line.
Usually i just look at an enemy with an arc soul and proc it instantly lol. Also survival is the name of the game so if u gotta pop transcendence or super while ur cleaning the totems by all means do what I gotta do to keep the run alive
@@D2Novi it seems to proc 100% with this build which will help I'm sure I want that emblem🤣
@@Aries_Alpha oh yeah were u using necrotic before? That annoyingly does not count for the proccing of devour
@@D2Novi I was yes all makes sense now.....!
@@Aries_Alpha yeah that my biggest issue with necrotics. I feel like it should since it's applied with the melee. Feels a bit foolish that it procs the final blow based on an ability and doesn't count
While this is definitely a great all-around build, I don’t think it’s really possible to narrow down a true “best” warlock build, (although it does make for a good title 😏)but this is definitely a contender. Another contender that I think you should consider taking a look at is the Prismatic Mataiodoxia + Khvostov. The transcendence gains are down right nasty with Khvostov, and Mataiodoxia is waaaaay better than I ever thought it would be when I saw the disappointing trailer for it before Final Shape came out
Yeah honestly for me it’s just the all around capability of this build that imo makes it the best in the game rn. Survival, damage, team play, solo, GMs, raids. It don’t matter, this thing rocks anything
That being said tho, I love matadoxia lol I’ve been messing with some builds using it. It’s a great GM exotic! I’ve got a few other ideas for exotic and ability pairings tho 🤔
Is there an easier way than just trying to farm for the perks we want on weapons?
Word ofcrota can be crafted, but is by no means a requirement for the build. Its just easy to use for overload stuns with demo. Scintillation is definitely a good fit for the build for crit based DPS, but there are definitely other options that are craftable (doomed petitioner for example)
Stat distribution? Resil/ disc then what? Recov or strength
Usually I go recovery since our melees recharge faster with transcendence and our class ability doesn't (or if it does it's a way slower rate, I don't know off the top of my head)
this build looks great, u have any recommended substitutes for final warning?
You could try quicksilver storm, although it got hit with a pretty hefty nerf
What about outbreak P?
@@vici222 not a great pairing just cuz as a kinetic weapon we charge our darkness significantly slower, but its range, single target damage, and antibarrier capabilities may make it a good option if you’re ok with giving up a little transcendence uptime. You could also slot on facet of grace over devotion if you used outbreak since we will have plenty of light transcendence from the buddies plus outbreak
Why use a second primary when you’re pretty much only using final warning? You’d be better off using basically any special weapon in that slot. Use a demo chain forbearance if you want something to feed your abilities or better yet just use something like a reconstruction wild style that you can quickly swap to and swap off of for quick extra damage. Unless it’s specifically for champions there’s never a scenario where running two primaries is better than having a special weapon.
For guaranteed overload stuns, but it can definitely be swapped if you are running an activity without overloads!
Do you have a solo build that's not prismatic?
Not at this time, but I definitely can make one!
Just hopped back on Warlock after so long. Haven’t been too sure what kind of build to run, but this one looks amazing! Great work. Can’t wait to try it, just gotta get that final warning first ha
Hope you enjoy! Yeah warlock feels super well rounded right now, loving where it’s at. You could try quicksilver until you get final warning, although it won’t be nearly as potent
@@D2Novi Was able to get Final Warning and I must say, this build is so good! I’ve been having a lot of fun. Once you have your solar and arc buddies, transcendence and song of flame going all at once you just can’t be stopped
@@daviddelapaz4016 exactly Z and then you just chain them back to back to back!
Just have to find a better way to stun barrier champions
If ur in a fireteam typically someone is running a barrier stun as support if u need, so that's usually a non-issue
Just use bleak watcher if you are gonna use getaway artist.
"No, no I don't think I will"
Lol na I believe hellion to be far better with this particular build and lots of people in here who said use bleakwatcher tried this build and came back to the comments and said yup, hellion is better for it lol.
Someone here in the comments also claimed Bungie is patching the interaction with bleakwatcher to no longer work, which I wouldn't be surprised by
@@D2Novi hellion is great. But if I'm gonna use hellion I'm not gonna use getaway artist. There's better exotics to use with it. Exotic class item most likely.
@@dontbeshady411 don't knock it till you try it. The double light buddies gives us stupid light uptime for transcendence, and well, Final warning is final warning (need I say more?)
Not sure there's maybe "better" pairings with hellion, especially with a class item? 🤔 To each there own I suppose, but I'd encourage you to try it before you write it off. Its one of the best builds in the game rn imo
Any suggestions for a weapon if you don't have Final Warning?
Quicksilver storm is an exotic option but it’s pretty meh post nerf. The new strand rocket sidearm from final shape is another great option though!
Ahhh ok maybe I’m stupid (probably) but mobile analytics doesn’t work for an anyone not on pc? Or does it? DIM link? Stat spread?
The base build has been done by a dozen others BUT your tweaks make survival better.
Looking forward to your GOTD final boss damage cycle as it’s long repetitive boring mountain of health has made it so terrible that I haven’t finished it yet.
Enjoyed your vid and presentation, thank you.
No problem 💪 glad you enjoyed! There should be a dim link on the mobalytics homepage to just copy and paste the build, as well as a written description and stat spread etc etc. I just like to keep it all in one place for ease of convenience
@@D2Novi hmm yeah my linear and a bunch of other gear are not showing (apparently don’t exist anymore) and a bunch of other stuff has vanished. But apparently the servers are down according to DIM. But I’ll just do it all manually. Will give it all a go in a bit. Thanks for the build. Guess now that I’m subbed I’ll have to go back through other videos and see what other gems you’ve got.
This glitchy s#17 isn’t unusual and I’ll figure it out.
Thanks :-)
@@ashb8036 hope you find some you like 🫡 always expanding my catalog of builds 🤣
i cant stun barrier champions even if i unravel them with final warning
Stun barriers with scintillation while you have radiant. Unfortunately unravel itself does not pierce barriers, you have have unraveling rounds
What do you think for pairing it up with Euphony?
Not a bad pairing as well, however getting euphony rolling will take longer without any threadlings being created. Also, I try to shy away from raid exotics in builds when they’re brand new, just cuz a lot of ppl don’t have it
