“Along with the three new Lite Supers previously announced [Twilight Arsenal for Titans, Storm’s Edge for Hunters, and Song of Flame for Warlocks]Guardians will use light and darkness together for the first time to release the Prismatic subclass, a press release reads.
Bungie says that each class will get a unique grenade that also combines elements of several subclasses: Warlocks will get a Stasis/Void grenade, Titans will get a Strand/Arc grenade, and Hunters will get a Solar/stasis grenade. A grenade will be found.
For the first time in Destiny 2 history, in Final Shape, players will equip an exotic class item – namely hunter’s robes, titan’s marks, and warlock’s bonds – with exotic level perks. According to Bungie, these perks will be randomized, taking two traits from existing exotic class items (including those belonging to some other classes).
A new faction of Dredd enemies will terrorize Guardians at the behest of The Witness (pictured above) with never-before-seen abilities. Along with Tormentors and Subordinates, the Witness will release new Grim, Husk, Attendant, and Weaver units:
- serious: A highly mobile flying enemy that slows and suppresses the Guardian’s abilities if it gets too close.
- Husk: An acrobatic melee mover that sends a determined enemy towards you until you land a final blow on their weak spot.
- Attendant and Weaver: By running Stasis and Strand respectively, these units can quickly change the flow of the encounter and force Guardians to focus on their position on the battlefield.
