This Warlock Build Is Actually Insane! 1,727 Kills... [Destiny 2 Prismatic Warlock Build]

[@Plunderthabooty]

I hope you guys like this one! I don't normally get surprised by builds but this one did it for me! DIM Link & Mobalytics Written Guide: mbly.gg/yjyq

[@BIGFESH]

sir plunder i have a build for prismatic hunter that can get restoration, devour, woven mail, frost armor AND a void overshield all at the same time. it does require some specific rolls but its pretty awesome.

[@caseydoyle6186]

Hey Plunder, thanks for the great vids. I know you said you dropped juju because it's weaker and harder to maintain soc in harder content, which I agree with. Have you played around with equipping multiple weapons with dealer's choice to get more super boost while also maintaining the ad clear and survivability? I haven't tested the support regen for it, but it could be a viable option since there's a good weapon pool with that mod.

[@TAGSlays]

Unless you are farming for kills...this build does not cut it. To run Onslaughts quickly and effectively, you need heavy boss DPS. Once the boss is dead the adds just disappear. Each boss room has a secret boost to help you with this. While this build is great for add clear, I honestly have no idea why you would just clear adds in Onslaught boss rooms. They just keep coming in the boss phases and this is a colossal waste of time. In an encounter with limited adds this would be great but you would be a waste with the boss. In the video you are throwing everything you can at the boss and doing basically nothing. We waste these bosses within a minute or two. Once you clear the 3 heavies, a buff will spawn. Save your supers. We also launch air strikes from the entrance as well as our supers before rallying. I know you need content, but you need to not be grifting either. This build has one purpose, farming kills. You are boasting about 1700+ kills in one room which is ridiculous as it is totally un-needed.

[@Destiny_SaNe]

​@Plunderthabooty void overshields are ass. Devour isn't always guaranteed. You're not in a damage phase at all times, 3 surges is unnecessary. I will say that khvostov feels a little weak to me, so I kinda get why you went that route, but I wouldn't necessarily shoot down the idea of recouperation lol

Pry from ur feet? Im sure you mean hands unless u DO walk around upside down

[@sourg_rage]

great build, thank you! a couple of thoughts: -AR is not on the artifact this season, hence no overcharge. so we are leaving some damage on the table in the onslaught. Would probably prefer huckleberry, graviton or fightning lion. -surprised by use of facet of ruin instead of dawn for radiant -would never trade recuperation for a little bit of extra damage, even with devour. -I think both bleak watcher and hellion are equally strong. in the last column there is an artifact mod increasing damage of nova bomb if under stasis, so I would probably prefer break watcher. -would add powerful attraction on the class item

[@Destiny_SaNe]

@@sourg_rage solid thoughts. I wouldn't say helion and bleak watcher are about equal lol. Bleak watcher is hands down better imo.

[@aaronyeager6778]

@@Plunderthabooty agreed your builds are solid this season, keep up the good work man 👍

[@christophernorris-ye3qb]

This is a great build. I only disagree with choosing facet of ruin and facet of purpose. The transcendant grenade does almost no damage. It's really only useful as a way to debuff and slow down the flow of enemies. You arent going to be shattering or igniting much with this exact setup if you aren't using another source of stasis or scorch damage. Almost everything you scorch or slow with helion/transcendent grenade should be dead before shattering/ignition has a chance to occur. The only exception would be mini bosses and champions, so if you think an extra ~20K AOE damage every ~7 seconds on big targets will be a game changer, then go for it. I disagree with facet of purpose because I think you and your team will be better off if you invest further into fragments that help you build transcendence. You could even choose the fragment that creates orbs from transcendence kills. If you pop transcendence before throwing nova bomb, you might end up doubling your orb creation, which could give your teammates 100 percent super.

[@hatchell18]

Ugh what lol. The prismatic grenade does a lot of damage especially when it’s weakening

[@cherryboy7359]

You dont get energy back from the exotic if you have transcendent active

[@stealth6308]

Don’t think you mentioned this, but your transcendence grenade and nova bomb also work with with facet of courage and conductive cosmic crystal (artifact mod). Something to consider if you want to simply throw a grenade followed by nova bomb at a boss for huge damage

[@GildedReaper01]

Fun little fact about phoenix dive from a warlock main, if you manage to activate it just before you hit the ground, phoenix dive will completely skip the diving animation, immediately granting cure and hellion (if you have that aspect on)

[@dankerbell]

been using it and man it really is nuts, so many kills, i need a demo attrition orbs velocity baton to truly bring it all together

[@dankerbell]

back to 2018 all over again, i missed these skull of dire ahamkara days, and as an average nova bomb fan i'm probably gonna main this all season

Gonna have to give this a try. I was impressed with skull when i dropped it into another build of mine in a pinch and i did decently well but clearly not optimized

[@DarqStalker]

I saw another build similar to this one using the Juju but I was kinda sad because I missed using the Khvostov. So, I will definitely be switching to this version, thanks!

[@soceur1977]

Wow, i barely use warlock and this build is so strong and fun. Just got a 1,170 kill expert onslaught 😮. Thanks bro

[@Pancakes476]

This video made me actually grind to the exotic version of the khvostov

[@pirate_duck4985]

My only issue with Khovostov atm is no Champion Mods. Yes, Radiant will do Barrier & depending on what you're using in your Subclass you can kinda make it work! I think Khovostov Catty needs to be that 7th Bullet beeaks Barriers & Stuns Unstop/Overloads make it the ULTIMATE Exotic Primary!

[@dec3142]

Or since they've realised ads needed to be modified, they could give them different behavious and just take champs out of the game. The need to stun is boring.

[@danielpfeifer1786]

Would be too OP 100% . Ohne intrinsic Champ Perk is enough

[@eventuresinc]

Plunder: I have explosive personality with disruption break so anytime I remove a shield from a combatant not only does it have additional damage to kinetic fire like our exotic. It also provides us with additional resilience and damage protection from combat fire. It’s amazing to combine ❤

[@bubbletea6903]

If you wanna go even harder on the min maxing super you could grab a attrition orbs roll on the new ad GL from the dungeon it's sincerely busted for onslaught and spawnkilling

[@baudtrawler8725]

I feel like swapping out the rocket for cold comfort may give a better ballance between light and darkness energy gain for transcendence, however explosive light definetely has more synergy with this build. Also I have been testing a felwinter finisher build that utilises overshield on prismatic, with the new buffs to overshield it feels really good.

[@michaelferrarini1463]

Actually gonna have to try this one. I’m very in to build crafting, but some of the builds are a little overtuned making it hard to use others. Specifically getaway artist on warlock and consecration spam HOIL/syntho Titan. Hunter feels balanced imo.

[@Destiny_SaNe]

Agreed. I could probably do 99% of the content in this game with 2-3 builds

[@resentfusion5634]

I appreciate you not using the Khvostov ornament. I was taking a break when it sold for bright dust now im eternally shafted. (its so dang clean too)

[@TheGWALReview]

Hoping for a mask of the quiet one build. Thats what i am running on my titan and i love it. All the glacier grenades and consecrations and with devour, void overshields, frost armor, devour, you cant die. I use heal clip incandescent marty as well as a nice cherry on top.

[@Xanderj89]

I joined in at wave 35 and got 950 kills by wave 50, good shit (although shooting orbs with shoot to loot is a nightmare on console, don’t have that precision mouse aim)

[@Antiso3ial]

This build synergies with bad juju so well

[@gman1080]

I've been using basically the same build but with kinetic tremor chroma rush, ikelos SG or area denial void GL, and rotating exotic heavies. Thinking of trying out Tessellation as well given how many grenades you're getting with this

[@jhustmyles275]

It's probably a little weaker, but I'm loving using Bad Juju instead of Kvostov. I just love how often you get the cursed thrall explosions now, and have always been more of a pulse guy than an auto guy.

[@kimfork]

Is there any other good exotic primarys besides Khvostov and Bad Juju I can use?

[@Catt-ur2kr]

Where are all of these builds coming from? Keep cooking Plunder, your the best build crafter!

[@fabianoH5N1]

been using this build all season . but with the new special ammo gl from vespers with attrition orbs

[@Avoncarstien]

Attrition Orbs + Tremors Multimach or a Subsistence + Tremors Chroma Rush, if you need to fit a different exotic for whatever reason. There's a good chance Wish-Ender is still very silly for generating huge chunks of super energy exactly because of how exotic primaries scale super gen. Also, you could probably swap Helion for the stasis turret if only to lean on the artifact a bit more this season. I think there's one that makes void and arc abilities do more damage to stasis debuffed targets, so the slow could net you another 5% or whatever. Doubt it's much better, but it could be a fun change of pace that wouldn't impact the effectiveness all that much.

[@benjeets2938]

100 Res, then push Discipline and Recovery as high as possible. Thanks Plunder!!!

[@Crispyjell0]

I ran expert yesterday and we somehow burned through the boss too quick, idk what my titan teammate was doing but he was chunking the hell out of the boss harder than my nova star eaters 😮

Since this build uses Kinetic Weapon Surge, would substituting Microcasm for Apex, and the legendary version of Khvostov for the exotic version of it, be just as good?

I've made a similar build, but with Inmost/Star-Eater, which gives me my Super pretty freaking fast.. Instead of Khvostov, would 3 Attrition Orb-weapons work? Cause due to my Inmost/Star-Eater-build, I've farmed or crafted alot of Attrition Orb-weapons.. 🤔

bad juju has much more damage and aoe (more damage than necrochasm cursed thrall explosion at max stacks) damage baseline than khvostov and it only gets better with the string of curses which are very easy to stack. It's aoe just isnt as large. That is well worth it though as it also builds super energy quicker and it reloads on kill meaning you don't have as much downtime as khvostov. Dont get me wrong khvostov is good but pulses are better since the final shape buff and bad juju has added synergy and aoe now which makes it the best for this build.
