You may be looking for the Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock best builds. Destiny 2’s Season of the Haunted introduces some reworks for the three guardian classes that change the way they play. They’re still the same character archetype at the core, but they’ve gotten some fancy new makeover in terms of abilities. Here’s the latest for the Solar 3.0 Warlock Guardian.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Build

Here are the best build choices for Solar 3.0 Warlocks in Destiny 2:

Solar Abilities

  • Well of Radiance: Well of Radiance will have your Warlock thrust their swords into the ground that will damage and scorch nearby targets. This creates an aura which will grant restoration and radiant effects to Fireteam allies nearby granting them protection from Stasis.
  • Healing Rift: Healing Rift creates a well of power that will continuously heal you and your Fireteam inside.
  • Incinerator Swap: Incinerator Snap will have your Warlock snap their fingers that creates a fan of burning sparks that will explode and scorch targeted foes.
  • Solar Grenade: Solar Grenades thrown by your Warlock will create a flare of Solar Light that will damage and scorch continuously to enemies trapped inside.

Solar Aspects

  • Touch of Flame: Your grenades become more potent.
    • Solar Grenade: Solar Grenades will have increased duration and periodically spew out bubbles of lava in its area of effect.
    • Firebolt Grenade: Firebolt Grenades will have increased area for targeting and maximum target count.
    • Fusion Grenade: Fusion Grenades will explode twice now.
    • Healing Grenade: Healing Grenades will have better cure and restoration effects.

Solar Fragments

  • Ember of Ashes: Targets can stack more scorched.
  • Ember of Searing: Targets affected with scorched restore your melee energy upon defeat.
  • Ember of Solace: Any restoration and radiant effects will have increased duration when applied to you.
  • Ember of Singeing: Scorching targets restores your class ability faster.

Weapons & Armor

  • Sunshot: Killing enemies with this weapon will cause them to explode in Solar Energy.
  • Prismatic Inferno: Fires a Solar Trace Beam that will grow upon continuous fire. Enemies who take continuous damage from the beam will be affected by scorch.
  • Sunbracers: Solar Grenades will have even more increased duration. Solar melee kills will give you unlimited Solar Grenade energy for a quick moment.
  • Phoenix Protocol: Any assists and kills you make while inside your Well of Radiance will restore Super energy.

Mods

  • Classy Restoration: Your Solar class abilities will grant restoration upon activating.
  • Withering Heat: Damage caused by Solar abilities weakens Champions for a duration.
Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Best Build

In our Solar 3.0 Warlock best build, we focused on creating a warlock guardian that deals damage and applies scorch as much as possible.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Solar Supers

When it comes to Super Solar abilities, you can pick between Well of Radiance or Daybreak. We’re already familiar with the throwing swords of Daybreak which can be good for damage dealing. The Well of Radiance offers a good balance between both by dealing damage and inflicting scorch to nearby enemies while simultaneously supporting your Fireteam.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Glide Abilities

You can choose from Healing Rift, Empowering Rift, or Phoenix Dive. Any one of them are a viable pick but the Healing Rift ability will really bail you and your Fireteam out of a tough spot. It will restore your health so long as you stand inside its radius of effect.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Class Abilities

The Incinerator Snap is a great for an offensive build as it scorches targets and deals damage over time. Deal enough scorch stacks to an enemy and they’ll ignite, exploding and dealing more damage to nearby enemies.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Grenades

The Solar Grenade will allow you to damage and inflict more scorch on enemies. When paired with the Touch of Flame Aspect and Sunbracers the duration of Solar Grenades will be increased.

Best Destiny 2 Solar 3.0 Warlock Fragments

You should focus on fragments that provide bonus when inflicting scorch since it’s what the Solar 3.0 build revolves around on. There are fragments like the Ember of Singeing and Ember of Searing that give you additional boosts by inflicting scorch.
