This is enough to melt even champions and bosses in seconds.
However, the build still has an ace up its sleeve, because even if invisibility and insane damage aren’t enough, you heal with every melee kill, and the mods grant you an overshield when picking up the Warmind Cells that recharge automatically. By the way, the cells appear through your Arc abilities even without a Seventh Seraph weapon.
In summary, your playstyle looks like this:
- Shot with the shotgun
- Melee
- Dodge
- Pick up Warmind Cell
Repeat the process until you have forced the Nightfall boss to its knees. Your buffs stack automatically and last for up to 20 seconds. More than enough time to withdraw and take a break from the action if necessary.
The solo build is explicitly designed for endgame and the toughest difficulty levels. Of course, you can also take teammates with you and tackle the Crucible as a team. Which build the most famous Destiny player uses, we might not find out, as he has announced a break.
In Destiny 2, the highest level of the Crucible can push players to their limits. We present to you a Hunter build with which you can master this top activity alone while being both aggressive and secure.
What kind of build is it? Recently, Destiny 2 introduced the ultimate challenge for Nightfalls: the Grandmaster difficulty. We are taking this opportunity to present you an endgame build that allows you to complete the currently highest Nightfall level alone, and you will be well-prepared to start from April 21.
This build focuses on the combination of insane melee damage and invisibility to be ignored by PvE enemies. Here, you can find out what you need for the solo build and how to ideally play the hidden killer with the strong strike.
Here’s what you need for the build: We list all components for the build along with their locations:
- Exotic Helmet Assassin’s Hood (Available after the Shadowkeep campaign for all Hunters)
- “Double-Punch” shotgun (Drops 100% from the Python ritual weapon)
- Arcstrider Hunter with Way of the Warrior (top tree)
- “Protective Energy” mod (Moon Seraph Bunker)
- “Wave of Tyrants” mod (Artifact modification)
Avoid using the commonly favored Hunter Exotic Handshake of the Liar, as you will take too much damage in the highest Nightfall levels. The invisibility from the recently buffed Assassin’s Hood is invaluable. You can further customize the build or enhance it with known powerful mods.
These mods make the build even stronger:
- “Global Reach” mod (Seraph Tower event)
- “Thunder Coil” mod (artifact modification)
- “Modular Blitz” mod (Seraph Tower event)
Solo the Nightfall: Conquer Grandmaster Crucible
This is how you play the solo killer: The build relies entirely on stealth, so on invisibility. This is very important at the highest levels of the Crucible, as you will be defeated after just a few hits. Once in the shadows, almost all enemies forget that you were standing right in front of them – this is essentially your “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
To trigger the saving invisibility, you only need a melee kill or finisher. Fortunately, all skills of the chosen Arcstrider are geared towards strong melee hits.
With the abilities and combined with the mods, your strikes become increasingly powerful and can one-shot almost any enemy. How powerful you are is shown by this calculation:
- Double-Punch +
- Thunder Coil +
- Combo Strike (Way of the Warrior)
resulting in a massive 1,743% extra damage in melee.
