Yo guys, welcome back to a brand new Destiny 2 video. Today, we're going to be looking at Prismatic Warlock. This build is going to be one of the strongest, most potent thing you've ever seen when it comes to ad clear, unbeatable when it comes to boss damage, insanely good.
For any of the returning players, you would be familiar with this build, but even then, you are not ready for the power, the potency this build has to offer. For the new players, this build is going to [ __ ] rock your socks off, cousin. This build is absolutely disgusting. So, let's get into it.
To start this off, we're using Song of Flame. This is going to be, honestly, the best super to run just in general on Prismatic for most of the time. We're using Phoenix Dive. This is going to give us our Helion. The jump is up to you. We're using Arcane Needle. We're using Storm Grenade. We're not actually going to be throwing the nade. If you've never used Getaway Artist, you're actually eating the nade to give yourself a turret. It has to be an Arcane nade though, so make sure you have this on. We're a Warlock. We're using Devour. And then, obviously, we have Helion.
For the fragments, we're using Facet of Courage. So, whenever we throw our Arcane Needle at an enemy, like a boss or a champion, or really a group of ads, and then you have the unravel going around, you'll do more damage to them. Facet of Balance, this is going to be giving us a ton of melee energy for the most part, but occasionally get that Darkness part from our melee, but mostly we're getting a ton of melee energy back from our weapons and the Getaway Artist turret. We have Facet of Dominance. This is the most important one. This is going to make our Arc turret jolt targets, and it's actually [ __ ] disgusting. You'll see soon. And then, we have Facet of Protection. You could also run Facet of Dawn just to get Radiant. You don't really need it though. I would recommend you run Facet of Protection just to have that extra DR, even though it's not necessarily needed.
And for the armor, the main piece of this is going to be Getaway Artist. And like I said, returning players know exactly what this build is going to be and what this exotic does, but if you're a newer player, consuming your Arcane nade grants an Arc Soul and amplifies you. That's all good and jolly, but the Arc Soul is actually an amplifying Arc Soul, so it's actually stronger than the normal one. And when it comes to the mods, this is what we are running.
And for the weapons, we're using Tanacious Mastery in our first slot here. This is going to be able to give us frost armor with one of our artifact mods, and it does stun unstopp. So, you don't necessarily need to run this. The other thing about this weapon is it is a double stunner. It can also stun overloads with the slow effect from chill clip. The main weapon of this build is going to be Anarchy. You get this from the Desert Perpetual Raid. Any weapon that has jolting feedback, there's a couple ARs you can get that you know, there's an SMG or two that have it. This SMG specifically though is insanely powerful, so that's why we're using this one. And then Anarchy with the catalyst is just disgusting. It's one of the best heavy weapons to ever grace this game, and with the catalyst it's become even stronger. And once you I show you guys some demonstrations of how this build works, you'll see how absolutely potent this is, especially with the artifact setup.
Another thing you are going to need is the Lumi armor set. The entire four-piece absolutely disgusting for this build. You'll have infinite ionic traces. Basically, whenever you kill a pack of enemies, you'll have your all your [ __ ] back. It's insane that this armor set even exists. And if they were still doing anything with this game, this would get nerfed almost guaranteed. To acquire this armor, you can either buy it from Zavala or it does drop inside Vanguard Ops.
So, for the artifact, we're running the Slaver Baron Sachel. We're using trace evidence. This is going to give us armor charge whenever we pick up ionic traces. And if we're spamming it to like a boss or a champion, it'll also generate an ionic trace that way. So, this is insanely powerful. Wind chill, this is how we're getting frost armor with our stasis sidearm. We can clear one of the reasons that Anarchy is absolutely [ __ ] busted on this build. Retinal Burn, rapid arc weapon precision hits consume an armor charge to trigger a blinding burst. Absolutely insane. We have infinite armor charge with trace evidence. So, I think you can kind of see where this is going. Curative orbs, another reason why you are unkillable, basically immortal. Collecting an elemental pickup or an orb grants you a small amount of health. I don't know if you've ever seen this armor set. You get like 50 to 60 ionic traces a match, and that's just from killing [ __ ] This is absolutely insane that this is a thing. And the first time you break your shield, you get an orb. Picking up orbs or ionic traces for this build, you will get a bunch of health. Not only that, we have devour. We also have a way to get frost armor. We also have the super, which makes you basically immortal. You are unkillable on this build. We also have kinetic impacts. This is going to create kinetic shock waves, so whenever we stick anarchy to like a boss or a champion, and this also does a [ __ ] [ __ ] load of damage when paired with weaken clear. And then we have arc compounding arc charges to increase damage to blinding targets, which you will also be doing to bosses. There is so much damage on this [ __ ] build.
All right, so let's do a quick demonstration on how getaway artist works. So, you hold your grenade, you eat it, it turns into an arc soul, and then we're also going to want to phoenix dive to get the hellion, and then actually just kind of rinses all the ads. And it does jolt them, as you can see it does it there. It's kind of hard to show a lot of things on the firing range cuz the enemies aren't really that close together. But that just actually rinses and you make ionic traces with just that part. And the thing I did forget to say is this build does make you amplified, so you can add that onto the list of DRs and reasons you are unkillable. And real quick, just to show this, I believe it takes four shots to proc the frost armor. You may not do it that often, it's there if you ever are doing it. And before I show you a full damage rotation, let me show you just anarchy by itself you can see this in work. It'll shock them, the occasional explosions there as well. And then once the actual anarchy shocks blow up themselves, It does that extra burst and you'll do about 6,000 to about 59 hundred damage per and that's just anarchy.
So, I would say for the most part you're going to want to do the full damage rotation inside of song of flame, but I did find that you do significantly more damage while you're in prismatic and that's mainly cuz you can keep the facet of courage going more, but I can show you both right now just to show you the damage numbers. So, to start this off we're going to eat the nade, we're going to plop this down, throw the melee, pop that, boom, boom, and then we're going to go to town with our SMG. And that's going to keep making those ionic traces giving us the arc blind which is then debuffing them more. You're going to want to throw in a couple more of these cuz it does fall off. And then you're just going to keep damaging until the super ends. Just keep going. And we'll wait for the all of this to fall off. So, that's actually funny enough, this is significantly more than I was doing in my test. I was doing about 31k with the song of flame. So, we did 38 there. Quite a lot. It's not as much as like the 1k build, but considering this build is significantly better at every other aspect of the game, it's pretty good damage.
All right, now let me show you while using prismatic. So, we're going to do the normal, but then we're going to do this, pop some of this, throw that out, throw a nade, and go to town. And whenever we have the nade up we'll throw another. You just kind of keep the nade going as much as you can. And you want to get two more of those out cuz it will fall off rather quickly. And that is that. Before I was actually doing more damage with prismatic and now I'm doing more damage with song of flame. So, really either way you're going to do about the same apparently. I guess Song of Flame is going to do more, so I don't know. It depends on what you're doing. Song of Flame obviously is going to make you immortal for the most part during a damage phase, so I'd probably do that. Prismatic also can chunk out these numbers.
And another thing I do want to show is that a lot of these weapons are double stunner. So as you can see, Anarchy is overload, but since we have the artifact, it is now also an unstop stunner. Similar to our stasis weapon, the slow part of it actually stuns overloads. Also similar, our SMG does barrier, but if you jolt, this also stuns overloads. So basically what I'm trying to say is all of our weapons can stun multiple things, so you don't really need to worry about the standing side of this.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is the build. I would say this is 100% the strongest Warlock build. It has been for quite a while, to be honest, but now with a lot of the changes in the armor sets and yada yada, it is significantly, not even close, one of the strongest builds in the game, let alone on Warlock. My returning players, obviously, you already know this build, but now you can see honestly the most perfected version of it. Some people like to use the Bleak Watcher turn instead of Helion. I like to have the turrets always with me cuz if you have a Bleak Watcher turret down, I mean it's stationary, it's not going to follow you, obviously, so I personally like to have the Helion, but you could really go either way.
And guys, don't forget to check out the Mobalytics link and the DIM link down below. I will also be going through all of my builds later and putting the artifacts on the builds on Mobalytics. Before I wasn't able to, the website wasn't updated. And all of my builds that I have released recently will also have armor sets set to them. But ladies and gentlemen, thank you for watching this video. I have another prismatic build coming, and after that, another void Warlock build, so two more Warlock builds and then we'll be moving on to another character, probably the Hunter, I believe is what I'm going to do next. Guys, thank you for watching this video, and I'll see you next time.
