Introduction
This guide gives weapons, exotics, and armor mods for a Destiny 2 Solar Hunter PvE Solo Build, intended for all levels of solo content!
Why Should You Play PvE Solo Solar Hunter?
PvE Solar Hunter is the epitome of explosions everywhere. The whole object of the subclass is to explode your enemies and set them on fire before they can even damage you. Paired with subclass healing and damage buffs, its hard to not enjoy making things go BOOM!
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Subclassed based healing and buffs | Requires a gameplay loop to be strong |
| Ability Spam | Can be dangerous to use in high level content |
| High damage output | Need specific exotics and weapons |
Solar Solo Hunter PvE Playstyle
The Solar Hunter PvE Playstyle is one of intense explosions. It requires a constant gameplay loop to keep everything moving effectively but it can be very rewarding once you understand it.
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.
 Blade Barrage |
|||
 Gambler’s Dodge |
 Triple Jump |
 Healing Grenade |
 Knife Trick |
Blade Barrage – This super casts a large amount of exploding knives that can cover an entire area in damage or be used to deal a lot of damage to a heavy health target
Gambler's Dodge – Activating this dodge while in close proximity to enemies will give you your melee ability back
Triple Jump – The most common jump for a PVE hunter due to its easy of use and strong control. It also allows hunters to generally go higher and further with their jumps.
Healing Grenade – The grenade gives a burst of healing as well as starts a restoration timer as soon as its picked up. One of our strongest survivability tools
Knife Trick – This melee casts three blades that scorch enemies giving some AOE damage and AOE scorch to keep up our other abilities and buffs
Aspects
 Knock ‘Em Down |
 On Your Mark |
Knock 'Em Down – This buffs our super and also gives us a melee back if we kill an enemy while radiant, basically allowing us to have constant melees
On Your Mark – This gives a handling and reload buff after getting a precision kill or max stacks when we use our dodge
Fragments
 Ember of Singeing |  Ember of Ashes |  Ember of Searing |  Ember of Mercy |  Ember of Torches |
Ember of Singeing : This reduces our dodge cooldown when we scorch targets, since our abilities and weapons are constantly scorching, this will make sure our dodge is up insanely fast
Ember of Ashes : We apply more scorch from every scorch source. This allows two grenades to ignite any enemy
Ember of Searing : This gives us melee energy and creates a firespite when we kill a scorched target
Ember of Mercy : The main part of this fragment is the restoration given by picking up a firespite generated by our other fragments
Ember of Torches : Our melee is a potent tool that can help us get our grenades back and also scorch enemies, this fragment allows us to now get a damage buff after dealing powered melee damage
