Ignite all with this Warlock build
Destiny 2 Lightfall introduced the new Strand Subclass but also update the other subclasses, as well as some exotics, opening the possibility for new builds. Here you can see a new powerful Solar Warlock build with the Prometheus Lens and Verity’s Brow that will turn crowds of enemies into ashes.
With this Warlock build, you will constantly apply Scorch to your targets with the Firebolt Grenade, and Prometheus Lens and create Ignitions with kills that spread even more Scorch. Final blows with the grenades will generate Firesprite, Orbs of Power and restore your health. If the kill is with the Prometheus Lens, it activates the perk from the Verity’s Brow that gives you a bonus of grenade damage and recharge rate. With the artifact mods and Fragments, you have an extra grenade, and also deals more scorch. Meanwhile, don’t forget to also check the best Strand build with Osteo Striga.
