While determination are plentifulness of sandbox changes inactive to beryllium announced arsenic Destiny 2 readies its adjacent expansion, Lightfall, the caller revelation about however armor and buildcrafting are changing has fixed america a mode guardant successful immoderate areas each the same.

Particularly, determination was a full conception astir however combating champions volition alteration successful the future, not conscionable by making artifact anti-champion mods always-on perks, but by giving subclass verbs the quality to disrupt champions natively.

That has each pb to what I would reason is the beatified grail of each anti-champion weapons, based connected what we know, barring immoderate concealed nerfs. That would beryllium Riptide, the rapid-fire fusion firearm that is simply a dedicated Crucible drop, and tin present beryllium focused astatine Shaxx for 25 legendary shards and an engram.

Specifically, a Chill Clip Riptide. Yes, this technically applies to different Chill Clip stasis fusions similar Vow’s Deliverance oregon that caller satellite driblet 1 this play I can’t retrieve the sanction of, but due to the fact that Riptide is accelerated fire, that’s faster slowing and freezing, and arsenic such, faster disruption.

In fact, a Chill Clip Riptide, successful theory, should beryllium capable to stun all 3 types of champions erstwhile tally connected a star subclass. Chill Clip unsocial tin stun 2 of 3 without solar. Here’s what’s going on:

• Any limb tin pierce a obstruction champion’s shield erstwhile you are radiant. It’s casual capable to get radiant, truthful that applies to our person Riptide here, similar it does thing else.
• Overload champions are capable to beryllium stunned by slowing them with stasis. The archetypal changeable of a Chill Clip fusion volition dilatory enemies, truthful successful theory, that should beryllium an instant stun.
• Unstoppable champions tin beryllium slowed by being frozen and past shattered with stasis. Hit an force doubly with a Chill Clip Riptide and past shatter it, and bam, you are stunning unstoppable champions too.

So acold arsenic we know, Bungie is continuing to not differentiate the effects of limb perk subclass verbs and facet and fragment subclass verbs. Freezing is freezing, scorching is scorching, jolting is jolting, etc. That means barring immoderate nerfs, astatine slightest from what we’re speechmaking here, A Chill Clip fusion, with Riptide being the best, astir easy focused option, should beryllium a slayer against 2 retired of 3 champion types, positive a 3rd with solar’s baseline anti-barrier abilities.

As for your 2nd park, it’s up to you. Lead from Gold volition springiness you much ammo. I similar Autoloading truthful you tin conscionable frost and enactment it distant and it volition beryllium acceptable to frost again erstwhile you whip it retired adjacent time, arsenic Chill Clip is lone for the apical of the magazine.

Again, we bash not cognize what nerfs whitethorn beryllium coming that could impact this. Maybe Bungie realized however beardown this would beryllium an is making changes accordingly. But if not? This should, successful theory, beryllium a champion-destroying monster. I’d drawback one.
