Destiny 2 Arc Warlock Solo Build

Welcome to the Destiny 2 Arc Warlock Solo Build. Arc warlock is the fastest at being able to clear a room full of enemies. Arc warlock super might not be the best source of boss damage but you make up for it by being able to damage the boss without any interruptions from enemies.

Last Updated March 2, 2023, for Lightfall Expansion and Season 20, Season of Defiance.  Destiny 2 has gone through a major change with their modding system. Making mods much easier and simpler to understand but taking some of the old metas and either eliminating them or making them relevantly the same.  For instance, the “well” mods most players have been accustomed to have been completely eliminated and really the only system and combination are based of orbs of power. The mod loadout you see today will change over time as we become accustomed to new and shifting meta in Destiny 2 Lightfall.  This loadout has been tested and works, so check back frequently as we will be updating these builds throughout the season and expansion.

For Solo Dungeons

Dungeons are no joke. Yes, you can do them with other players but if you want to get all the triumphs then listen to these tips.

• Do the dungeon with other people first to get an idea of what is happening in there.
• Learn the spawn of enemies and what causes them to stop spawning.
• Attempt A duo run to see if you can handle the Added density.
• Maximize survivability over the damage it may take you longer to kill the boss but if you are alone no one will save you.

Armor Stats

Stat distribution number goals

• Mobility – 0 - 20
• Resilience – 80
• Recovery – 100 ( This is warlock main stat which also lowers your class ability cooldown)
• Discipline – <30
• Intellect – <50 (higher is fine if you’ve hit other markers)
• Strength – 60 - 100

[caption id="attachment_30844" align="aligncenter" width="486"] Resilience Tier 8 Lightfall Destiny 2[/caption] Resilience Changes: The resilience stat was heavily nerfed in Lightfall expanse and now only receives 30% damage reduction at 100 stat.  Outside of Titan builds, your goal is tier 8 (80 stats) to get good damage reduction without wasted stats.

Important Mods

Armor Modification Change: these mods will seem foreign to returning players with Lightfall changing the entire system.  The system you build around now is only orbs of power.  You also see an armor charge mechanic and some of the previous mechanics for generating orbs of power and previously used mods.  This system is evolving, and we will continue to make changes as we gain a better understanding of the new mod system. Here’s a list of all the current armor mods.

Artifice Armor Change: provides an extra +3 to whatever stat you want this should help you reach these stat goals.

Artifact Change: The artifact no longer provides mods instead it reduces the costs of some of the mods and provides passives as you level up and unlock them.  Season 20 Artifact.
