Destiny 2: Best Exotic Class Item Perks for Warlock

Discover the best exotic class item perks for the new Warlock bond Solipsism in Destiny 2, released in the Final Shape.

Destiny 2 Best Exotic Class Item Perks for Warlock

Exotic Armor is the most essential part of any build in Destiny 2. They have a static exotic perk, often so powerful that you design your build around it. Also, Exotic Armor is so powerful that the game only allows you to equip one at a time to limit how powerful guardians are. Furthermore, Exotic Armor is bound by classes that limit build crafting to your chosen glass.

These new Exotic Class Item perks will break all the conventional rules of exotics within Destiny 2. For example, they will roll with random exotic perks from a perk pool, and they will be able to have two perks for one exotic. Also, the perks are taken from existing exotics, with some perks available from different classes’ exotics. Consequently, the new class items are the best exotics for Destiny 2 with the Prismatic Subclass.

Best Perk Combination on Solipsism

With so many exotic perks available on the class item, it can seem daunting to figure out what exact perks you want for various content and playstyles. Below, we rank the best combinations for Exotic Bond Perks available:

  1. Spirit of the Inmost Light and Spirit of the Star-Eater
  2. Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Harmony
  3. Spirit of the Ophidian and Spirit of Verity

3 Spirit of the Ophidian and Spirit of Verity Exotic Class Item Perks

Below are the Spirit of the Ophidian and Spirit of Verity exotic class items perks:

  • Spirit of the Ophidian: Weapons ready very quickly. 
  • Spirit of Verity: Weapon final blows with a damage type matching your grenade grant a stacking grenade damage bonus. 

Spirit of the Ophidian and Spirit of Verity provide a potent combination for PVP players. This helps your weapons feel better to use by increasing the handling and providing some additional grenade damage by getting kills with a matching weapon damage type. Also, these two are great neutral perks that work at all times, allowing you to utilize them without extreme build crafting or setup. However, these two perks work best in a PVP scenario, so they can be limiting to those who want one exotic class item for all content. You do need to make sure your weapon matches your grenade element so that is why this combination is the lowest on our list of class item perks for Warlocks in Destiny 2.

2 Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Harmony Exotic Class Item Perks

Below are the Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Harmony exotic class item perks:

  • Spirit of Apotheosis: Temporarily gain greatly increased melee and grenade regen after your Super ends. 
  • Spirit of Harmony: Final blows with weapons that have a damage type matching your Super’s element grant you Super energy. 

Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of Harmony are for someone who likes to utilize their super and have great power after casting one. One provides additional super energy for getting weapon kills with matching elements. While the other provides a massive boost in grenade and melee regeneration after casting a super. These two combined allow for fast super cooldowns and the ability to spam skills after using your super. However, the issue with this pairing is that it requires specific weapon elements to be effective and can slightly limit weapon loadouts, which can be an issue in late-game content.

1 Spirit of the Inmost Light and Spirit of the Star-Eater Exotic Class Item Perks

Destiny 2 Spirit of Star-Eater Exotic Cloak Perk

Below are the Spirit of the Inmost Light and Spirit of the Star-Eater exotic class items perks:

  • Spirit of Inmost Light: Using an ability empowers the other two abilities granting them improved energy regeneration.
  • Spirit of Star-Eater: While your Super energy is full, picking up an Orb of Power overcharges your Super, granting it bonus damage. 

Spirit of the Inmost Light and Spirit of the Star-Eater provide ultimate ability and super build in the game. Supers are incredibly potent abilities in Destiny 2, allowing for massive burst damage. So pairing a super buffing exotic with an ability regeneration exotic ensures we are using our abilities more than our weapons. Neither of these perks is even available for traditional warlock builds and that is why this combination is the best class of item perks for Warlock in Destiny 2.
