In Destiny 2, the weapon exotic Trinity Ghoul emerges from the shadows and becomes the surprise hit of Season 11 thanks to the new catalyst. MeinMMO reveals where you can get the new wonder item and what the bow can do now.
This exotic weapon is now amazing: The exotic combat bow with the cumbersome name Trinity Ghoul has been in Destiny 2 for a good 2 years now. Despite its ability to fire three arrows at once and unleash lightning, the weapon never reached the Olympus of top exotics, until now.
Because in Season 11, the bow received its masterpiece catalyst. This has a lot behind the ears, and experts can’t stop their enthusiasm. MeinMMO examines what the improved lightning bow and its upgrade are all about.
This is what the bow can do as a masterpiece: The strength of Trinity Ghoul lies in the Arc lightning. This is significantly improved by the exotic masterpiece catalyst. Now your arrows will overload with Arc abilities with every shot.
The effect activates with ability kills, such as Arc grenades or melee hits, but also from lightning damage from the bow itself. In plain language: Each of the three charged arrows chains Arc damage over a large area and thus charges the next load of arrows. Like the thunder god Zeus, you unleash lightning that zaps back and forth between enemies – again and again, until every enemy is annihilated.
Furthermore, these status values improve passively through the catalyst:
- Charge time +30
- Draw time +30
These bonuses are a blessing for the combat bow, as the weapon originally belongs to the slower representatives of its kind.
This is how you get the catalyst: To benefit from the new abilities of the catalyst, you need to find and level it first. Finding it shouldn’t be a problem: The item drops with a very high chance from almost all core activities.
Even in my first strike in Season 11, I and another teammate received the catalyst. Many Guardians also report that it dropped after their first PvP match (via reddit).
To level the catalyst, 400 kills with Trinity Ghoul are simply required. If you’re in a hurry, check out our farm spots:
Season 11 favors bows: With the start of the Season of Arrival, bows have been slightly improved in PvE. Enemies with red health bars now receive 10% extra damage.
Additionally, the seasonal artifact contains some bonuses for bows in general:
- Enhanced bow loader significantly increases draw speed
- With the overload arrow tips mod, you are equipped against champions (only for legendary weapons)
The last time a bow was really popular was due to a bug. Because the Wishender happened to hit incredibly hard for a while, which the Guardians loved – accordingly, they were sad about the fix. But now the Guardians have the improved Trinity Ghoul.
Trinity Ghoul hits hard now
This is how strong the bow is in PvE: Thanks to the catalyst, the bow has been overnight elevated to one of the best primary exotics. With the lightning chaining, even groups of enemies are dealt with in no time.
Complement it with a sword in the power slot. Blade weapons are among the best options against single, powerful targets. The combination of bow and sword not only looks stylish but also hits hard.
Check out how the improved bow performs:
This is how strong the bow is in PvP: In the Crucible of Season 11, Trinity Ghoul performs well. If you manage to charge an Arc kill, you have an easy game. Because to chain area damage among the Guardians, it’s enough to simply place an arrow near them.
You can shoot from the hip and fan out the three arrows – the lightning will find its way.
This is what it looks like when the thunder god is unleashed:
Did you have Trinity Ghoul in mind as one of the top exotics, or was the powerful catalyst a complete surprise? Have you already had some rounds with the improved bow?
Another weapon exotic from Season 11 is causing plenty of buzz among players. The new grenade launcher trivializes even fights against the most powerful enemies: Guardians use the new exotic in Destiny 2 to destroy raid bosses with ease
