Arc Warlock Solo Playstyle
Your main priority when you get in combat is to become Amplified, use your grenade or melee to get an ionic trace and become Amplified. During this time focus on taking care of the red bar enemies; they are the easiest to kill and you can do it better than all the other classes due to your chain melee ability. Cast your rift to call upon an arc soul that allows you and your allies to have a personal mini turret. If you happen to get swarmed by adds use your super it has a great casting aoe attack to give you some breathing room. So long as you maintain your crown of tempest buff all of your abilities will be recharging quicker.
Abilities
Some abilities, aspects and fragments need to be unlocked before use. In order to do that, Destiny 2 players need to visit Ikora in the Tower and do the related quest or purchase them from her. Lastly, if you bought new aspects and fragments don’t forget to “meditate”. Simply click the “meditate” option on the table next to Ikora.
