I have been using both shards of gaylord and nighthawk and as much as I love nighthawk, I still think blade barrage is the better pick for most content just because of it's utility. You can use it for damage or ad clear, or just a get out of jail free card when you are surrounded, and you get half of it back. Then you can just use knife trick to get it back in a hand full of kills. If you are going for just raw damage for raids or something then celestial would be the better option, but blade barrage just has so much more utility going for it.
Tbh I tried a build with celestial nighthawk and made my own from there....dubbed it isekai truck due to how hard it hits on tough or boss enemies. Monster builds can be made from this madness alone imagine a 6 man raid with the nighthawk....that boss gonna have truck kun on him like the devil.
6 man nighthawk would be SIGNIFICANTLY worse than 6 Star Eater golden guns. 6 star eater GGs lets you cycle supers infinitely, unless it was nerfed this season.
Golden gun absolutely does not get buffed from surges anymore. You made me second guess and i just went and tested again to be sure. It 100% does NOT work i have footage i can send you as proof. Celestial nighthawk on Cally while radiant and with and without surges is 457,686. Surges do not affect this number at all even after death actual damage is not changed. There is no backdoor bug of visuals not showing it correctly, i checked it is pixel for pixel the exact same with and without surges put your surges on your weapons Edit:!!! Wait it works with 2 but not 3?? I dont understand why but damage with 2 kinetic surges is 535,493 a 17% buff
So star eaters blade barrage is still better for damage? So I guess you use star eaters for golden gun looping or damage, and only use celestial if for some reason you can’t blade barrage the person you wanna damage.
Exactly. I believe Blade Barrage and Star-Eaters still does more damage than Golden Gun., but its damage numbers can be inconsistent sometimes due to no hitting every knife in the barrage.
The fragments don't really affect how the build performs imo. But the ones I used were: Ember of empyrean, Ember of torches, Ember of singeing, Ember of solace, and Ember of ashes.
Golden gun no longer stacks with any amount of kinetic surges as of January 30th 2024

God damn it, Truck-kun

Where do you test it? Before I left destiny, there was the hall of trophies (or something like that)
Also I read somewhere that Bungie made it so it caps on x2
@@dory3096 pretty much everything is tested in the lost sector on nessus on the far western edge of the region. I forget the name
@@dory3096 I thought I had read that they "fixed" it and that it was never supposed to but apparently it works with 2 just not 3
