Summary
Harness the power of the sun with Solar, the best subclass inDestiny 2that allows Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters to harness intense healing abilities, but only when paired with the best Solar Aspects. Players will want to find the best Aspects inDestiny 2if they are to survive the onslaught that is to come with thefinal stand against the Witnessand other enemies of the Light that just don’t know when to quit.
Solar is one of the most beloved subclasses for a reason, and each Aspect only compliments the Super and Abilities that each class can receive, so it’s best to know which is the best to run on each class, so Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans can burn bright as a powerful Guardian.
Best Solar Warlock Aspects
Dawnblade Warlocks will enjoy the best Solar Aspects for their subclass found here:
Icarus Dash
Necessary For Well-Skating
A golden feather, drifting in the wind. One gust carries you where you need to go.
Icarus Dashcan be useful, as using a Double Press (Circle/B/Ctrl) will have players dodging whilst airborne. They can also pair it withHeat Risesto gain an additional dodge, and during this airborne ability, they canrapidly defeat targetswith Super or weapons to earn the Cure buff. However,Icarus Dashis only useful for parkour segments, and using the beloved Wellskating, which will have Warlocks shooting off like a star.
Heat Rises
Better Air Control While Shooting
A singed tome, bound in leather with notes scratched in the margins. You hold immeasurable knowledge of the approaching dawn.
Whilst gliding, players can fire weapons, melee, and throw grenades, but they will first need a grenade to consume to activateHeat Rises. Upon activation, players will receive the Cure buff for themselves and allies, and final blows during this airborne period will increase the duration ofHeat Risesand provide melee energy, which in turn cancreate some truly powerful stackswith the right Exotics. However, players will be rather vulnerable in the air.
Touch of Flame
Increase The Effectiveness Of Warlock Grenades
A radiant cinder, still crackling as you hold it. With it, you could set the world aflame.
Healing, Solar, Firebolt, and Fusion Grenades have better functionality, all of which can be found below:
The additional advantages of using these grenades are definitely worth it, especially theHealing Grenadebonuses, as Restoration has been nothing but a blessing in Season 23, where players can keep their Restoration going to restore health at a constant rate.
Best Solar Hunter Aspects
Gunslingers need these Solar Aspects if they’re to be quick on the drawagainst the Witness:
Knock ‘Em Down
Increase The Effectiveness Of Supers
A scorched shell casing smelling of gunpowder, somehow still warm to the touch. You flash, brilliant, in dark times.
The Solar Supers of the Hunter are enhanced with Knock ‘Em Down, allowing the Deadshot Golden Gun to have more damage resistance, so players can tank more shots whilst trying to time their own. Marskman Golden Gun also has increased duration, so players who need to time that precision shot aren’t under pressure. Lastly,Blade Barragelaunches more projectiles, which means even more damage. If players use Knock ‘Em Down whilst radiant, their equipped Throwing Knife final blows will refund melee energy.
On Your Mark
A leather holster, well-worn. You were always quicker on the draw.
The true cowboys out there will enjoyOn Your Mark, which gives players increased weapon handling and reload speed for a short duration when they hit those precision final blows. This can stack three times, and players can have a great way of reloading, making sure they have plenty of bullets for their enemies. If players were to use their class ability, then they receive max stacks forOn Your Markwithout the need of precision kills.
Earn A PowerfulSolar GrenadeWith Every 5 Kills
A book of matches, just one left. Light ‘em up.
Sometimes, one grenade just won’t do, andGunpowder Gambleis the perfect response to that. If players get 5 kills with Solar abilities, debuffs, or Solar weapons, then they can charge up theGunpowder Gamblegrenade, which can be thrown like a normal grenade but shot in mid-air to cause ignition and other powerful buffs. It’s great for keeping enemies down and out for the count, so long as players don’t accidentally shoot this highly powerful explosive too close, as it can, and will, kill.
Consecration
Create Powerful Charged Melee Attacks
The pommel stone of a battle-scarred war hammer, radiant with an inner fire. You reclaim this once-hallowed ground.
Activating a charged melee ability whilst sliding will send forth a wave of Solar energy, which damages and Scorches targets within the path as players leap back to the air. This can also be activated whilst airborne, to slam into the ground and create a second and larger wave of Solar energy. Scorched targets are Ignited, and death is assured, but pulling it off can be rather tricky, and there are alternate uses for a charged melee that will keep healing going, soConsecrationisn’t the best.
Roaring Flames
Increase Solar Damage With Solar Ability Kills
A shard of obsidian, brimming with the light of day. Eons will pass before you fade.
Final blows with Solar abilities or Ignitions will increase the damage for Solar abilities. This can stack up to 3 times, allowing players to change the game with their melee abilities and grenades truly. Powerful enemies and adds won’t stand a chance, especially if players use throwing hammers which can be recovered, and constantly build up Solar ability charge to decimate the competition.
Sol Invictus
Create Sunspots With Solar Abilities
A golden medallion emblazoned with the symbol of a hammer, weighing heavy around your neck. Your inferno starts with a single flicker.
Solar ability final blows,Hammer of Solimpacts, and Scorched target final blows, all create Sunspots. Inside these Sunspots, players can recharge their abilities, and their Supers will drain slower. Even better still, Sunspots can apply Scorch and burn targets who stand inside, all whilst players stay within to gain Restoration.Sol Invictusis great for players who love to use their Solar abilities, especiallyHammer of Sol, as throwing things for fire explosions and healing is going to keep the team alive and clear out adds with ease.
