Season of the Wish Artifact Revealed
In their latest This Week In Destiny blog post, the Destiny 2 development team revealed the newest artifact that will be available to players in Season of the Wish. The Artifacts are special seasonal items that grant both bonus power and special bonuses to certain weapons and playstyles over the course of a single season. For Season of the Wish, the artifact is called the Queensfoil Censer. The special bonuses are focused on three elements: Solar, Strand, and Stasis. Rocket Launchers are also getting some interesting bonuses. Players can select up to 12 of these bonuses at any one time.

Artifact Changes
As you can see, some of the combinations of the artifact perks look really powerful. The Solar combinations look especially powerful. Additionally, Stasis is getting some ability reworks next season as well and will likely see some play. The artifact always changes up the meta each season, and Season of the Wish looks to be a season of fire and ice. Make sure you check out our latest builds for Solar and Stasis classes.
