The Prismatic subclass in the new hotness in Destiny 2 offers a unique spin on build crafting. If you’re struggling to find a synergy that works, here are the 9 best Prismatic builds in Destiny 2 for Warlock, Hunter, and Titan.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape: Best Prismatic builds
In this guide, I’ll show youthree builds for each class, including Exotic armor pieces and suggested weapons. I will also explain the general gameplay loop. I was tempted to addPrismatic class itemsto a few of these builds, but I’m sticking with regular Exotics, which anyone can get for simplicity.
There’s a lot to cover, so here’s what to expect:
3 best Prismatic Warlock builds in Destiny 2
Warlocks are eating well in the Final Shapeand can use the Prismatic subclass to create unique and powerful builds. There’s plenty to cover here, and with so many powerful Aspects, the Space Wizards are spoiled for choice.
Getaway Artist Turret Build
If you’ve played any content with a Prismatic Warlock on your team, the chances are you’ve seen this build in action.Prismatic Warlocks can spawn turrets but also abuse the absurd power of the Devour buff. This build allows you to become amplified, spawn turrets, and lean into incredible Devour uptime.
The gameplay loop is pretty simple.Consume your grenade with your Getaway Artist Gauntlets whenever you can, and enjoy Devour whenever your Turret or Arc Soul defeat an enemy. Use your Arcane Needle melee attack to unravel foes so they take additional damage.
Aspects and Fragments
Exotic Armor and suggested weapons
Prismatic Mataiodoxia build
Warlocks got some powerful shiny new Exotic armor pieces in The Final Shape, and we use one to great effect in this build. TheMataiodoxia gives massive buffs to our Arcane Needle, and our Aspect combination is one of the strongest in the game.
As for gameplay, you can flip-flop between Transcendent and Super States very quickly with this build. All you need to do isuse your abilities when they are off cooldownto enjoy a ton of buffs, including Radiance and Devour.
Field Medic Speaker’s Sight Build
No other Class fits the support role better than the Warlock, and the Prismatic subclass opens up plenty of options for the playstyle. We’ll be using theSpeaker’s Sighthelmet for this build, and it’s one of the many tools we have to keep the whole fire team and us alive.
While we lack the raw damage output of some other Warlock builds,we are exceptionally hard to kill. Your team will love the endless heals, and you can control battles from a safe distance.You always want a Healing Grenade readyfor encounters so you can spawn your Healing Turrets. We also use a pair of weapons with healing abilities.
While we are support-focused,you can deal a ton of damage with your Arcane Needle and Hellion.

3 best Prismatic Hunter builds in Destiny 2
Hunters are living the high life with the Prismatic Subclass, as they can access some potent Aspect combinations. We use those to deal impressive damage numbers while staying far harder to kill than the class is known for.
Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk Invisibuild
Excuse the cheesy pun, but I had to come up with a fancy name for this build. The combination of Aspects and Fragments allows us to dish out high DPS while frequently becoming invisible to stay alive.
you may play fast and loose, butyou have the incentive to go for powered melee attacks, and your Grapple Grenades help with that. Go for close-range kills when you can, anddon’t be afraid to back offwhen you’re invisible.
Prismatic Nighthawk Build
TheCelestial Nighthawkis my favorite Exotic in Destiny 2. Thanks to Prismatic,we’re not tied to the Solar subclassif we want to use it and can pump out some of the highest damage numbers in the game.
With this build,we focus on spamming powerful shots with our Super and Still Hunt Sniper Rifle. The Celestial Nighthawk augments our Golden Gun super to fire one mighty shot instead of three regular ones. This effect also works with the Sniper Rifle.
If you fancy yourself as a gunslinger, this is the build for you, and we rely on invisibility to keep us alive.
Exotic Armor and suggest weapons
Cyrtarachne’s Facade Build
Hunters are traditionally known for being a little more squishythan the other Classes. This build flips the script on this idea, granting us Woven Mail and plenty of avenues for decent damage.
If you’ve not used Woven Mail before, it gives you a ton of damage resistance, although the effects are temporary.Your gameplay loop revolves around keeping Woven Mail active, so Grapple Grenade and melee into targets to start your battles.
The Facet of Bravery grants bonuses for using Strand and Void weapons, somake sure to use both.
3 best Prismatic Titan builds in Destiny 2
I play every class in Destiny 2, but I’m a proud Titan main at heart, and I’ve got some stylish builds to share with you. At first glance, the Prismatic looks a little lacking for the Titan, and a few staples, like Banner of War, are sadly missing.
Fear not;Prismatic Titans can still bring the pain. What better way to prove it than with the build I currently use for the Grand Master Nightfall?
Abeyant Leap Suspend Build
Suspending opponents is a wonderfully powerful debuff, and Titans can access it for free with their Prismatic Grenades.This build goes all in on Suspending targetsand offers three ways to do it so you’re able to almost chain the effect indefinitely.
Your game plan is tosuspend everything you seewhile building Prismatic energy with your weapons. TheAbeyant Leap Exotic Boots augment our Barricadeto grant Woven Mail, which we lean on for damage resistance. While Prismatic, your Barricade is ready much faster, so you can spam it to suspend more targets along with your incredible Prismatic Grenades.
Arc Thunderclap build
This is the first Prismatic build I used, and it embodies the spirit of the One Punch Titan like few others can.We use Thunderclap as our melee ability, and it hits so hard it can kill most enemies in a single-charged attack.
The build relies heavily on a one-punch kill to trigger buffs, so it’s unsuitable for all game content. That said, I beat the Legendary Final Shape campaign with it with zero issues, so it can’t be that bad!
Our Exotic helmet restores healthwhenever we kill with a melee attack, so we build into making Thunderclap as lethal as possible.
We regain so much melee energy with our Exotic helmet that you can often chain charged Thunderclaps. These hits inflict massive damage and trigger a shopping list of buffs, including Radiance.
Prismatic Synthoceps build
TheSynthoceps remain a top-tier Titan Exoticpost-Final Shape as they significantly increase our melee damage. Prismatic Titans can use two powerful melee-focused Aspects, and they synergize perfectly with our Exotic armor.
As you’ve probably guessed, this is a build where we punch through the Solar System.Use your powered melee whenever you canand enjoy unraveling rounds with your Strand primary weapon.
There’s so much room for experimenting in the Prismatic Subclass; the builds in this guide only scratch the surface. I urge you toexperiment with different Prismatic Fragments, as you might just stumble across something incredible!
