In Destiny, Warlocks can buy the exotic helm “Obsidian Mind” from Xur this week. We will tell you why this is a good idea in this article.
“Buy Icebreaker for 17 strange coins, or you will regret it later!” This is currently echoing from all corners of the Destiny cosmos. And of course, that is true. The solar sniper rifle Icebreaker generates such hype that players are even resorting to obscure rituals to get it.
This week, however, we want to focus on another exotic item: The helm “Obsidian Mind”. This is a new exotic Warlock helm that came to Destiny with “Darkness Awaits”. You hear about it surprisingly often, especially from the pros: “Warlocks, buy Obsidian Mind!” What is that about?
Embrace the Void, Bro
The helm “Obsidian Mind” (Obsidian Mind) is particularly interesting for Voidwalkers among the Warlocks. It essentially has two major abilities:
- With Inverse Shadow, you gain more Super when you kill enemies.
- And Insatiable increases your Super when you use your Super, by about 10% for each Nova Bomb kill: that’s super-super, as a well-known football coach would say.
This means that the “Nova Bomb,” the Super of the Void Warlock, can be used significantly more frequently and much faster than without this helm.
This tempts Warlocks into all sorts of mischief. Here, one is taking on the “Exclusion Zone”, the known Glimmer farming spot on Mars and achieves astonishing results.
In this clip, you can see the Obsidian Mind in all its glory and what it does to incredibly many Thralls:
What Talents Do You Take with the Voidwalker?
The actual destructive power of the Obsidian Mind is seen by most Warlocks in PvE; other exotic items are likely more sought after in the Crucible.
In the video from Mars, the YouTuber also provides a build recommendation for the Voidwalker Warlock. Another popular build is suggested by a user on Reddit.
So, is the helm worth the 13 strange coins that Xur wants for it? Let’s ask this gentleman:
It seems that friends of the well-crafted Nova Bomb should hurry to visit the black market dealer Xur by Sunday at 10:00 AM.
In recent weeks, we have already presented “secret tips” from Xur.
