Ignite all with this Sunshot build
Destiny 2 Season of the Witch brought a huge buff to Hand Cannons, making them great in builds. Check here a powerful Solar Warlock build with the Sunshot and Verity’s Brow that will turn crowds of enemies into ashes and meltdown champions.
With this Warlock build we don’t get an extra fusion grenade however we boost its regeneration rate and damage, capable of inflicting a lot of damage to powerful enemies. Kills with the Sunshot or any solar weapon, activates the perk from the Verity’s Brow that gives you a big bonus of grenade damage and recharge rate. The Touche of Flame makes the Fusion Grenade explode twice. For Champions, stun them first to get even more damage from grenades. Get Heat Rises by consuming the grenade, then activate restoration x2 with the Phoenix Dive and the Radiant by using melee. Keep killing enemies with your Sunshot to extend both effects.
