In Destiny 2 there are new subclasses for Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks: Sentinel, Dawnblade, and Arcstrider. What do these focuses bring with the new super attacks?
Each Guardian class receives a new focus with a new super in Destiny 2. These are said to greatly change “the way it feels to play the game”. It is also known that old subclasses will be reworked. Here is an overview of the information.
Dawnblade – Solar Focus of the Warlock
The Warlock receives the Dawnblade as a focus. When you activate the super, the Warlock holds a solar sword in their hands, can hover over opponents and attack them with ranged attacks, the “Fire Phoenix projectiles”. This super is called Daybreak.
- Super: Daybreak
- Weapon Type: Solar
- Specialization: Ranged Attacks
- Guide: Dawnblade – The Warlock subclass in detail with all focus abilities
Gameplay material for the Dawnblade:
Sentinel – Void Focus of the Titan
With this super, the Titan creates a Void shield. It somewhat resembles Captain America. The shield can be used for cover, can knock down opponents in close combat, or he can throw the shield, leaving a path of destruction. You can find more information about the Sentinel in the link.
Gameplay for the Sentinel:
Arcstrider – Hunter
The Hunters receive a “mythical” Arc staff. They can twirl it around acrobatically and slice through opponents. Therefore, this subclass is called “Arcstrider” in German. You can read more about the Arcstrider here.
Gameplay material for the Arcstrider:
Changes to the Focuses, Subclasses, Super Attacks
The design of the focus overview with the focus nodes has changed significantly. Whether this will change before the launch is unknown. This is what the focus overview of the Dawnblade currently looks like:
In the center is the symbol of the super, around it grenades and other abilities can be selected. All subclasses feature “class-specific abilities” in Destiny 2 for the first time. These are displayed on the left in the focus overview.
Reworked Subclasses
This is the reworked Striker:
The Chaos Punch is no longer a “panic punch” where you just slam the ground and that’s it. Instead, you can move in this super and execute attacks using the super buttons. It is now significantly more “mobile”.
Here there is an interesting change: There is the focus perk that you can fire up to 6 shots with the Golden Gun in quick succession. However, the duration of the super is then shorter.
The Voidwalker has already been seen in gameplay material, but he has not yet been introduced in detail. It is known that he can shoot a homing Nova Bomb.
