Destiny 2 Strand Warlock: Abilities Aspects & Fragments

In Destiny 2, Strand Warlock wields many powerful Abilities, Aspects & Fragments that make them “Telekinetic Sorcerers”.

The Strand Warlocks, also called Broodweavers, are telekinetic sorcerers that manipulate the Weave; even twisting Strand into creatures that do their bidding. The guide presents all known Abilities, Aspects & Fragments and how to unlock them.

Strand Warlock (Broodweaver): Abilities, Aspects & Fragments

In Destiny 2, Guardians use the Solar, Void and Arc elements by wielding the power of Light granted by the Traveler. Stasis is the first darkness subclass introduced in Beyond Light Expansion. Strand is the second manifestation of the darkness in elemental form.

Strand flows through you. As it flows through everything

Needlestorm Super Ability

After embedding themselves in the environment, the needles will re-weave into a host of Threadlings. Threadlings you create will return to you and perch if they can’t find any nearby targets. Damaging targets with your weapons or melee will send out perched Threadlings to attack

Arcane Needle Melee Ability

Sling a woven needle that will embed in your target, unraveling them. Activate your melee ability again to chain up to two additional attacks.

Grapple Grenade Ability

Weave a grappling hook, and quickly pull yourself forward. Grappling to a Tangle immediately recharges your grenade energy. During and shortly after grappling, your melee attack deals area damage and unravels targets.

Shackle Grenade Ability

A thrown weapon of weighted Strand matter that detonates on impact, suspending targets and creating additional suspending subprojectiles.

Threadling Grenade Ability

A woven projectile that reweaves itself into Threadlings while in flight.

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.
