Strand flows through you. As it flows through everything

Strand Subclass
Stasis was the first subclass that came out with Stasis 3.0 – the system that includes the aspects and fragments to make classes more customisable and powerful. Soon after, over months, other subclasses received 3.0 reworks. With the release of Lightfall expansion, guardians can use Strand Subclass 3.0, adding more playstyles, builds, powerful weapons, and unique abilities to the game.
How to unlock Strand Subclass
To unlock the Strand subclass, players must own Ligthfall expansion and complete the main campaign in order to get access to all abilities. Additionally, to unlock aspects and fragments, players must buy them from the special Vendor marked on the map above.
Players must collect the Strand Meditations – the currency that they can spend at the Pouka Pond to unlock additional Strand grenades, Aspects and Fragments. The Strand Meditations are the reward for using Strand abilities anywhere in the system and completing activities in Neomuna. Additionally, players can earn the currency from all sources while they are in the Vex Incrusion Zone in Neomuna.
- Each Aspect cost 150 Strand Meditations
- Each Fragment Cost 200 Strand Meditations
- Each Granade Ability Cost 50 Strand Meditations
The best place to farm Strand Meditations is located in the Neomuna world activity called Vex Incursion Zone.
