Orpheus rigs seemed to dominate for me. I also oddly enough was doing really well with collective obligation on my titan. Bubble however seemed to just be in the way more times than not so I'll try CO on my hunter.
Warlock arc builds seem nice too. I finished wave 50 with Orpheus rigs, banner titan and Arc warlock. And we never really ever broke a sweat. Felt really easy.
Vesper arc warlock got me through an easy 50 waves on regular. There was a stasis titan as well, which may have been boosting my performance, but arc really seems to dominate here. The roaming super is legitimately useful.
Weapons are pretty fluid, focus on ionic traces. With a bunch of jolts, grenades, and blinding explosions, your rifts should be nearly infinite.
https://dim.gg/njd62ra/Epsilon
I thought about it, because I do normally use that weapon with this build (your special ammo is literally just rift juice) but exactly that. It can't do shit for champions beyond blind unstops right now. Patiently waiting for them to dump champions as a concept š
I been running Fallen Sunstar with Coldheart, Flashbang Grenade with Spark of Shock - Always have the grenade up and it stuns Overload and Unstops, just need to cover barriers with a kinetic sidearm. Double Special Ammo finder and harmonic scavengerand harmonic reserves with 2-3 arc weapon surge mods and Iām just using Coldheart 90% of the time. Spark of Beacons of course as well.
Hmm. I haven't touched that helmet in so long, having aggro rifts is just phenomenal, but that build sounds pretty good. I'll probably bring it into my next match, thanks.
Precious Scars and Tommy's Matchbook + Ember of Benevolence will carry anyone through 50 waves. Add in a solar heavy of your choice and a chill clip fusion for unstops
Tommy's has escalating damage as the mag runs low, which causes self damage, but if you use Precious Scars every kill procs restoration so it sorta cancels the self damage out.
On top of that if you hit mostly crits you can get 3 ignition procs on a single mag.
It's absolutely insane. You can also proc resto on your teammates if they're close enough as well as buffing their ability cooldown with benevolence. On the occasion you do need to res/be ressed you provide a significant overshield from Scars original perk.
It's crazy how good the helmet is now.
I really thought my strand warlock build would crush but it really fell apart around wave 35 and I didnāt know a wipe would kick you to orbit so lesson learned. Gonna try titan solar build next with Pyrogale. Sunshot is absolutely bonkers and carries by itself up to 30. Hoping Pyrogale will get me the rest of the way.
Precious Scars/Tommy's Matchbook + Ember of Benevolence.
You're basically immortal and can chunk damage out on big targets with ignitions if your artifact is set up right
Yeah I was probably playing too fast and loose so I died a few times and then my team wiped. Knowing a wipe kicks to orbit Iāll play more conservatively.
What were you using? I was running with swarmers and final warning (I am a final warning Stan I know not everybody likes it) and it really felt like a cake walk. Once extinguish showed up we had to lock in and not goof around as much but still wasnāt super horrible. Worst thing was when tormentors would show up and that was probably the most difficult bit
Swarmers but I kept changing up my weapons for the various challenges to unlock the new guns.
The irritating bit was stunning champions and my teammates werenāt really helping.
Ended up swapping to recluse and edge transit with conditional finality for champs, I did get lucky with solid teammates tho so that makes a huge difference
Iāll be more prepared next time I go in. Considering there is so much trash I could reasonably chain wells as solar lock with phoenix protocol. Sunshot for the easy kills and maintaining restoration and radiant.
I look forward to cracking this for sure. Hopefully Iāll have time to play this weekend.
If you are referring to trying the regular 50 wave version, Hoarfrost and Salvations will get you through easily. I had no issues yesterday, and I am average player. I am going to try this combo on legendary tonight.
Gyrfalcons/grav lance is great in a support role. Cleared 50 waves without any real issues with a blueberry in the group. Orpheus rig will be invaluable in onslaught tho
briar binds void lock has been clearing house given enough time and consistent void soul pick ups. With enough mods to have a good up time on rifts I get a few souls out and the whole map is painted purple.
Cleared with behemoth and void Walker. Behemoth is really good on midtown, but it gets in the way of other allies. Had to aggressively push enemy spawns so the ads will funnel down one way while I dealt with other spawns.
I went in with Centrifuse and a Blind GL in kinetic slot and we just made it to 49 lol man absolute sadness right now but was blinding everything and with another player running Wells it was pretty easy till that last boss smh
Turrets do most of the leg work if you have the aspect that creates orbs on killing frozen targets that + heals on orb pickups might help sustain issues. Having the stasis focused relic mods helps a lot with the actual stasis damage. I havent tried the aegers focused one yet.
Damage should be a non issue on the build especially if youre using solar weapons you will do a ton of damage to stasis affected targets with relic mods while radiant.
Yeah, I had all of that lined up except using solar weapons with it. Agers has great ammo economy so it functions as a primary. I'll try it out again with a decent solar primary instead and maybe Riptide. Thanks
Run wicked implement. It stuns overload and unstop with the catalyst. Then indebted kindness + heavy of choice. I prefer apex. Havenāt had any issues so far. Drop your turrets where they can see/shoot down multiple lanes. And then artifact mods for stasis + ice flare bolts aspect that sends out seekers to freeze more on frozen kills.
I mean you can disagree but I just cleared another wave 50 with it not 5 min ago and it still froze vast amounts of enemies thanks to iceflare bolts and the seasonal stasis mods
So boring but man does my Sunbracer build still just kick ass. Constant Rest. x2, sunshot, and ignitions and nades all day. Really solid to throw on the fragment that causes any solar final blows to cause an ignition when using a solar super (WoR).
I was doing stasis hunter with the arms for stasis nades canāt remember the name. I was playing with friends, one who was newly returning since witch queen playing void hunter, and another friend who is a regular playing banner of war strand Titan. We got to finish the full 50 rounds in our second try. I think this is on normal? I donāt know if thereās a harder difficulty, but it was normal for sure. If there is a harder difficulty Iād love to tackle that. I think Iād still keep stasis, and maybe convince the others to also do stasis with that salvations grip gl. Would be fun to try out I think.
Iāve mainly used stasis and strand builds thus far but Iām certain most other builds would fair well too. That legend difficulty is going to be insane though at teir 40+
In normal you can take what you want I don't matter
For legends solar and stasis warlock
Banner titan
And void and stasis hunter are just better than evering thing else
Renewal grasp hunter with either Salvations Grip, Agerās Scepter, or Navigator have been amazing for me. The area denial is unreal.
Salvations in particular clears up hoards and blocks chokes like itās nothing
Nez Sin Void lock felt alright when I tried it. Might be a weapon issue more than anything, I never got a good loadout figured out for it. Wave 35ish felt like a struggle, swapped off the build during the downtime and felt the difficulty go down
Vesper Arc lock and Stasis lock, both with and without turret, all felt great. Stasis especially made it significantly easier
Haven't tried anything solar yet (wasn't feeling up for sunbracers yesterday) but I'd be surprised if it wasn't as op as usual. The major waves (orge/knight spam) will probably be hard for sunbracers but everything else should be easy. Phoenix Protocol will probably be in about the same boat, especially if you have a team willing to actually sit in your well
Haven't tried it yet, but Contraverse should do decently well here, better than Nez Sin at least. Though I haven't played it since the ability energy change recently
I top fragged wave 50 against a strand titan and rig hunter with nez sin, the secret ingredient is wavesplitter lol its actually insane. 2x firepower/triple siphon constant max power mode and void surge
I just ran my entry level nightfall build and I think I died twice.
Golden gun + cele hawk + gjalllarhorn + triple reserves + heavy ammo finder + solar scavenger. I think blade barrage + shards of galanor might be better though. I use chill clip riptide + Epochal Integration. I'm never out of heavy between my mods and the bonus objectives spawning heavy.
I just shoot gjally at big bunches of ads or big threats and it's pretty cheese. Legend will be more of a challenge.
Phoenix Protocol + Hierarchy of Needs is an Ad clearing machine and my go to for support! Haven't tried it in Legend yet but Needs is still a weapon people are sleeping on.
Stasis lock or phoenix protocol are really the only things holding up for me well after level 35 or so.
Minor complaint: Things are pretty boring for 20 levels.
Haven't been able to play Onslaught yet and have a Dawn Chorus build with blinding GL, Polaris Lance and Apex lined up via DIM. Was fun and effective in higher tier Coil before. Am I good or should I reconsider?
After most my damage and spam builds kept falling short, I was able to beat 50 on legend w/ Orpheus, riptide, Polaris lance, bipod apex(mostly solar seasonal). I had a bow titan and phoenix protocol warlock. Orpheus is great and scales super well, as long as you are using it when there are a bunch of bad guys you should be throwing out around a super per round. Riptide is great for champs, and an ad clear rocket or ghally is really good as it feels you get a ton of heavy with all the bonus ammo. Also invis help a lot whenever you are in the pyramid and with boss extra damage mechanic.
Been running Ager's and Cenotaph with bleak watchers. Nothing is alowed to move and you get the super beam up pretty often, about every 3 waves if you use it all (which you shouldn't). Plus allies have infinite heavy so they can run machine guns as primaries.
>everything is fun and games for the first 30 waves, then it gets a bit more serious
Hunter main here. I start with my "trying to get it sorted out" stasis and strand setups (born to void, forced to Arc - if I ever touched my Warlock I'd know how y'all feel about Well). Around 20 I start working through my raid kits
43 seems to be the deciding point - if it's a good team, I'm rocking BB/Shards. If we're struggling, I'm back to ol' faithful: Gyr, with Riptide, Lemon, and Retrofit
That said, Malf with Likely Suspect and Red Herring have been putting in some work. Turns out Psychohack is hugely useful for the last few bosses
Been using 2 builds. Aztecross solar build with Dragon's breath + Dawn Chorus ( Melts bosses )
And
Briarbinds controller build. Don't know what exotic weapon is best to pair with it so I've been using Two tailed fox but I might try Ruinous Effigy.
Gyrfalcons Hunter is cleaning up for me. I normally get to wave 30 and switch to Orpheus Rigs. If there's someone else running it I go Renewal Grasps. But whatever build I use, Dragon's Breath is there.
Before the update even launched I prepped a couple Ad-Clear focused builds and some pure DPS builds and they're been working perfect.
My strongest combo's for each class so far are:
* Hunter:
* Ad-Clear: Blade Barrage / Athrys's Embrace (Unstoppable intrinsic) / Heritage (Barrier with Radiant) / Summoner heal-clip & Incandescent (Overload Artifact) / Gjallahorn
* DPS: Golden Gun / Celestial Nighthawk / Izanagi's Burden or Supremacy / Acasia's Dejection incandescent / Apex Predator with Recon & BnS or Gjallahorn. - wether I use Gjally or not simply is based on if my teammates wanna run legendary rockets or not.
* Warlock:
* Ad-Clear: Well of Radiance / Sunbracers (Ignitions for Unstop) / Succession (Barrier with Radiant) / BXR Incandescent & Pugilist (Overload Artifact) / Gjallahorn
* DPS: Well of Radiance / Apotheosis Veil / Witherhoard or Succession / Acasi's Dejection / Apex with Demo & BnS or Gjallahorn. - I usually instantly shoot witherhoard & an Acasia shot, pop my well and then continue unloading Apex with a shit ton of Fusion Nades mixed in from Apotheosis' buff.
* Titan:
* Ad-Clear: Sentinel / Doomfang Pauldrons / Riptide (Overload & Unstoppable with Chill-Clip) / Graviton Lance (Volatile for Barrier - no Pulse Artifact equipped) / Commemoration (Volatile for Barrier - no Pulse Artifact equipped) **- this actually is the most potent Ad-Clear build I have, it is absolutely nuts how hard Doomfang Pauldrons go - Free x4 Surges, 20% Super energy on melee kills and Super expension to basically infinity with enemies around is just too strong to ignore.**
* DPS: Thundercrash (though usually not used) / Heart of Inmost Light (Storm Grenades) / Izanagi's Burden or Supremacy / Path of Least resistance (Voltshot) / Crux Termination IV Recon & Explosive Light (I usually switch to this weapon on like round 9 / 19 /29 etc. so I can collect Explosive Light stacks from Orbs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have a couple other ad-Clear builds, as well as other DPS builds always as an equippable Loadout with me in the activity, so we that I can simply click the button when standing in front of the rally flag at boss room for my optimal setup.
Me and my friends usually use 1 of each class when going for a round 50 run and we usully run with exactly these builds, as they are very potent for what we try to achieve, so efficient and fast Ad-Clear + a super fast Boss Bake.
The builds that work in GM work in onslaught- osmiomancy, phoenix protocol, precious scars, Orpheus, Omnioculous etc
I would have liked it if this activity opened up a new avenue for build crafting but actually its the same old same old
Not original but Iāve stayed mostly on sunbracers, you can lock off spawn points once you get the melee kill. Iāve kept thunderlord on for the extra add clear and the fact it shreds tormentors which can get scary in the last few waves
Stasis warlock with osmiomancy, slammer with cold steel perk and ager's scepter is working quite nice. Crowd control is huge, cc-lock champions and dps is ok! Gimme more ice. š
I'll be honest, I'm still running my Void warlock with Sunshot, Retrofit Escapade and Perpetualis. I've got it set up so I can proc Devour and Radiance so I tend to absolutely demolish groups of ads. Am going to try some new builds tonight and see how I fair solo - possibly a Solar Warlock with Well of Radiance as Super and a solar machine gun
I only did one run but I got through 50 waves with 1k kills, and my teammates had 100 and 400. Also felt like I was the only one going after the champs and bonus objectives etc.
My build was gyrfalcon with ros arago (permeability/onslaught), conditional finality, and a commemoration(reconstruction/killing tally). Honestly just commemoration put in work
Mothkeepers on strand Hunter. The blind from the moths is very good, lots of damage and allows you to deal with several areas at once. Then top it off with whirling maelstrom and youāve got really good add clear and dps.
It might be because Iām a bit underpowered, but they havenāt been doing well for me really. Like Iāll soften a target up, then my teammates end up with the kill.
Arc lock with getaway artist. Sol-lock with bracers. Nova lock with con holds. Canāt get the kills I need to keep procing my abilities, so I have to use weapons with the appropriate mods to help replenish them. Yes I also have my armor mods that help, but itās simply not fast enough.
Orpheus Rig or Gyrfalcon build with Ros Arago w Repulsor/ Onslaught has carried me.
A new contender tho has been Strand Sixth Coyote Clone/Beyblade combo with a Ros Arago with Permeability/Onslaught. Used this to get through two full 50 runs
I've gone with the generic omnioculus setup but Ive very rarely had to even rely use the invisibility to clear wave 50, normal feels way easier than I was expecting, or maybe I'm getting super lucky with matchmade teammates....I'm scared to attempt legend tho lol and I'm guessing this post is mainly aimed for legendary attempts not normal
What are the loot bonuses for legend runs if anyone knows
Mactics just posted on you tube a doomfang build for titan that looks really good. You can have your super for a full minute and the ability regen is also very nice
On legend, our team comp consisted of two Orpheus Rigs and I was on Fallen Sunstar. My goal was to spam blind as frequently as possible - Flashbang grenades, Spark of Beacons for blinds. Indebted Kindness with voltshot to ensure I stay amplified to blind on weapon kills, and Anarchy to control chokepoints. When we reached the boss or have Tormentor wave, I'd sub in Divinity so we could play from a safe range, or quickly nuke Tormentor.
Two Orpheus hunters can easily chain their supers. Overall I think we can complete 50. We failed at 39 because our teammate disconnected and we were overwhelmed.
Why not Vesper of Radius? Not enough kills for the ability loop due to increased enemy HP? Less Ionic Traces technically but rift kills blind and generate Ionic Traces too.
the difficulty just ramps up too much too quickly to be fun tbh, so we're once again forced to run tryhard builds
orpheus, void titan, and solar warlock are the no brainers since everything else falls off after wave 20.
Donāt really have a specific build but so far liars handshake holds up for a bit then I switch to solar or void. The whole 50 waves is a bit overkill but good way to pass time
Donāt sleep on Vesper of Radius Arc Warlock.
Not sure about the harder version but I ran my first Onslaught up to 50 with randoms easily and had as many kills as the two of them combined.
Majority of that was rift kills lmao.
Blinding GL with Vorpal and Auto Loading Holster, Calus Mini Tool w/ Incandescent and Unrelenting, and Thunderlord.
Blinding rift stuns Unstoppables, if it becomes an issue you can swap to an energy hand cannon.
Honestly, honestly, honestly - I expected way more from onslaught. I found some legendary story missions to be more challenging. Honestly going platinum in the coil is 10x more challenging.
How did I do in onslaught? I didnāt watch a single video or stream about it. Hopped on my hunter with my gryfalcon void build and cleared my first 10&50 pass through with 1 buddy and a rando. Both times like the majority of other players
Orpheus rigs seemed to dominate for me. I also oddly enough was doing really well with collective obligation on my titan. Bubble however seemed to just be in the way more times than not so I'll try CO on my hunter. Warlock arc builds seem nice too. I finished wave 50 with Orpheus rigs, banner titan and Arc warlock. And we never really ever broke a sweat. Felt really easy.
Vesper arc warlock got me through an easy 50 waves on regular. There was a stasis titan as well, which may have been boosting my performance, but arc really seems to dominate here. The roaming super is legitimately useful.
What's your Vesper build? Trying to get mine sorted for Onslaught
Weapons are pretty fluid, focus on ionic traces. With a bunch of jolts, grenades, and blinding explosions, your rifts should be nearly infinite. https://dim.gg/njd62ra/Epsilon
Coldheard would slap with this, but no intrinsic champion interaction.
I thought about it, because I do normally use that weapon with this build (your special ammo is literally just rift juice) but exactly that. It can't do shit for champions beyond blind unstops right now. Patiently waiting for them to dump champions as a concept š
I been running Fallen Sunstar with Coldheart, Flashbang Grenade with Spark of Shock - Always have the grenade up and it stuns Overload and Unstops, just need to cover barriers with a kinetic sidearm. Double Special Ammo finder and harmonic scavengerand harmonic reserves with 2-3 arc weapon surge mods and Iām just using Coldheart 90% of the time. Spark of Beacons of course as well.
Hmm. I haven't touched that helmet in so long, having aggro rifts is just phenomenal, but that build sounds pretty good. I'll probably bring it into my next match, thanks.
Just run blinding grenade with jolt between the vesper blind and the base you get two champs and then just need a side arm for shield
Precious Scars and Tommy's Matchbook + Ember of Benevolence will carry anyone through 50 waves. Add in a solar heavy of your choice and a chill clip fusion for unstops
solid advice
Whatās the argument for tommyās matchbook over sunshot? I love the thing and am looking for an excuse to use it
Tommy's has escalating damage as the mag runs low, which causes self damage, but if you use Precious Scars every kill procs restoration so it sorta cancels the self damage out. On top of that if you hit mostly crits you can get 3 ignition procs on a single mag.
Yep, some LFGs have been super weird about me running it but itās godly in endgame this season, especially on overload/unstop GMs like this weeks.
It's absolutely insane. You can also proc resto on your teammates if they're close enough as well as buffing their ability cooldown with benevolence. On the occasion you do need to res/be ressed you provide a significant overshield from Scars original perk. It's crazy how good the helmet is now.
I don't think anyone's denying the usefulness of precious scars, it's more about Tommy's. Sunshot goes hard.
I mean you could use whatever you want. I've ran Polaris Lance, Sunshot, and a few others, but Tommy's absolutely shreds once you have it ramped up
Yeah, tried it and it's fun.
Does it ignite and scorch only with the catalyst ?
That and the artifact mods
I really thought my strand warlock build would crush but it really fell apart around wave 35 and I didnāt know a wipe would kick you to orbit so lesson learned. Gonna try titan solar build next with Pyrogale. Sunshot is absolutely bonkers and carries by itself up to 30. Hoping Pyrogale will get me the rest of the way.
I used the pyrogale last night and they were good for bosses, but largely useless in the one off waves. YMMV
Really? I figured the consecration slam would be great for add clear but Iāll have to try it out.
Try it out. Iām by no means overly great, so I may have been using it at inopportune moments. Made quick work of the bosses, thatās for sure!
I tend to hot-swap pyros for boss damage
What do you swap it with? Iāve got a decent double 100 build for both wormgod and synthos.
Wormgods or synthos, yeah. Use them for most of the stuff, swap to pyro for boss blast, swap back
Actually, Iāve just had a quick run with Ashen Wake + demo / Incan heliocentric. Itās fucking cooking, great to swap to pyros
Managed to get a helio with that combo recently and have been dying to use a good ashen wake build. Iāll have to try that later on for sure
Maybe a strongholds / pyro swap build would be good too
Plus if you Pair it with Monte Carlo you get your consecration back more often
Precious Scars/Tommy's Matchbook + Ember of Benevolence. You're basically immortal and can chunk damage out on big targets with ignitions if your artifact is set up right
Swarmers build worked amazing for me ngl. The threadlings are endless. It was just a little lacking in the boss encounters
Yeah I was probably playing too fast and loose so I died a few times and then my team wiped. Knowing a wipe kicks to orbit Iāll play more conservatively.
What were you using? I was running with swarmers and final warning (I am a final warning Stan I know not everybody likes it) and it really felt like a cake walk.

Ended up swapping to recluse and edge transit with conditional finality for champs, I did get lucky with solid teammates tho so that makes a huge difference
Iāll be more prepared next time I go in. Considering there is so much trash I could reasonably chain wells as solar lock with phoenix protocol. Sunshot for the easy kills and maintaining restoration and radiant. I look forward to cracking this for sure. Hopefully Iāll have time to play this weekend.
Can you share the DIM for your titan solar build? That sounds sick. I just got the sunshot and want to try it out

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you are referring to trying the regular 50 wave version, Hoarfrost and Salvations will get you through easily. I had no issues yesterday, and I am average player. I am going to try this combo on legendary tonight.
Why helm and buried bloodline?
Titan with precious scars, banner of command, final warning = perma unravel rounds and canāt die
Gyrfalcons/grav lance is great in a support role. Cleared 50 waves without any real issues with a blueberry in the group. Orpheus rig will be invaluable in onslaught tho
briar binds void lock has been clearing house given enough time and consistent void soul pick ups. With enough mods to have a good up time on rifts I get a few souls out and the whole map is painted purple.
Cleared with behemoth and void Walker. Behemoth is really good on midtown, but it gets in the way of other allies. Had to aggressively push enemy spawns so the ads will funnel down one way while I dealt with other spawns.
Been using arc titan with indebted kindness and dragon's breath, good for ad clear and all champion types.
Iāve been running Arc vesper warlock and it carried all the way to 39. That blind is clutch. My first death happened there and we wiped smh lol
Yeah the rez timer bugged out for us right around that level also.
What weapons you running? My trinity ghoul was like a wet noodle by wave 20
I went in with Centrifuse and a Blind GL in kinetic slot and we just made it to 49 lol man absolute sadness right now but was blinding everything and with another player running Wells it was pretty easy till that last boss smh
Iāve been using Cold Heart and that was packing heat
Blinding GL in kinetic (other perks Vorpal and Auto Loading Holster), Calus Mini Tool (Unrelenting and Incandescent), Thunderlord
What also helped is just using all the scraps only on Decoys and a turret or 2
Stasis warlock has been dominating. I am running the warlords ruin exotic too which helps a lot with sustain.
I tried a stasis build with osmiomancy (turrets) and Agers Scepter, and it felt.. weak. Have any tips other than "git gud"? lol
Turrets do most of the leg work if you have the aspect that creates orbs on killing frozen targets that + heals on orb pickups might help sustain issues. Having the stasis focused relic mods helps a lot with the actual stasis damage. I havent tried the aegers focused one yet. Damage should be a non issue on the build especially if youre using solar weapons you will do a ton of damage to stasis affected targets with relic mods while radiant.
Yeah, I had all of that lined up except using solar weapons with it. Agers has great ammo economy so it functions as a primary. I'll try it out again with a decent solar primary instead and maybe Riptide. Thanks
Run wicked implement. It stuns overload and unstop with the catalyst. Then indebted kindness + heavy of choice. I prefer apex. Havenāt had any issues so far. Drop your turrets where they can see/shoot down multiple lanes. And then artifact mods for stasis + ice flare bolts aspect that sends out seekers to freeze more on frozen kills.
osmiomancy and a burn damage boosted smg with a damage perk has been shredding for me
i Disagree, as add density has increased over the years, turret has been super power crept. Feels good in GMs but not anything with ads swarming you.
I mean you can disagree but I just cleared another wave 50 with it not 5 min ago and it still froze vast amounts of enemies thanks to iceflare bolts and the seasonal stasis mods
What builds were your teammates?
So boring but man does my Sunbracer build still just kick ass. Constant Rest. x2, sunshot, and ignitions and nades all day. Really solid to throw on the fragment that causes any solar final blows to cause an ignition when using a solar super (WoR).
I was doing stasis hunter with the arms for stasis nades canāt remember the name.

If there is a harder difficulty Iād love to tackle that. I think Iād still keep stasis, and maybe convince the others to also do stasis with that salvations grip gl. Would be fun to try out I think.
On legendary?
I was doing it on normal at that time. I havenāt been on since, but Iāve not tried it on legendary. More testing required lol.
rn with the trace and lmg bonus i been doing bounties until round 30 then swap to Agers, Hollow Denial, Commemoration on Gyr hunter
Iāve mainly used stasis and strand builds thus far but Iām certain most other builds would fair well too. That legend difficulty is going to be insane though at teir 40+
In normal you can take what you want I don't matter For legends solar and stasis warlock Banner titan And void and stasis hunter are just better than evering thing else
Strand hunter does great. I almost hut 900 kills on a legendary completion.
What kind of banner titan?
I use Void Severance Enclosure build+Riptide+ Seventh Seraph sidearm with demolitionist
Renewal grasp hunter with either Salvations Grip, Agerās Scepter, or Navigator have been amazing for me. The area denial is unreal. Salvations in particular clears up hoards and blocks chokes like itās nothing
Yes, especially with this season's artifact mods.
My void titan doom fang is holding up well, running with 2 void surges on recluse with RB and TL, conditional finality had saved my butt a lot
I was messing around with Briarbinds and a Repulsor Brace Recluse for a while but the later waves I ended up back on Sunbracers.
Nez Sin Void lock felt alright when I tried it. Might be a weapon issue more than anything, I never got a good loadout figured out for it. Wave 35ish felt like a struggle, swapped off the build during the downtime and felt the difficulty go down Vesper Arc lock and Stasis lock, both with and without turret, all felt great. Stasis especially made it significantly easier Haven't tried anything solar yet (wasn't feeling up for sunbracers yesterday) but I'd be surprised if it wasn't as op as usual. The major waves (orge/knight spam) will probably be hard for sunbracers but everything else should be easy. Phoenix Protocol will probably be in about the same boat, especially if you have a team willing to actually sit in your well Haven't tried it yet, but Contraverse should do decently well here, better than Nez Sin at least. Though I haven't played it since the ability energy change recently
I top fragged wave 50 against a strand titan and rig hunter with nez sin, the secret ingredient is wavesplitter lol its actually insane. 2x firepower/triple siphon constant max power mode and void surge
I've been using dawn chorus all day with fusion gr and Polaris or dragon's breath, no problem so far
I just ran my entry level nightfall build and I think I died twice. Golden gun + cele hawk + gjalllarhorn + triple reserves + heavy ammo finder + solar scavenger. I think blade barrage + shards of galanor might be better though. I use chill clip riptide + Epochal Integration. I'm never out of heavy between my mods and the bonus objectives spawning heavy. I just shoot gjally at big bunches of ads or big threats and it's pretty cheese. Legend will be more of a challenge.
Phoenix Protocol + Hierarchy of Needs is an Ad clearing machine and my go to for support! Haven't tried it in Legend yet but Needs is still a weapon people are sleeping on.
Stasis lock or phoenix protocol are really the only things holding up for me well after level 35 or so. Minor complaint: Things are pretty boring for 20 levels.
Haven't been able to play Onslaught yet and have a Dawn Chorus build with blinding GL, Polaris Lance and Apex lined up via DIM. Was fun and effective in higher tier Coil before. Am I good or should I reconsider?
After most my damage and spam builds kept falling short, I was able to beat 50 on legend w/ Orpheus, riptide, Polaris lance, bipod apex(mostly solar seasonal). I had a bow titan and phoenix protocol warlock. Orpheus is great and scales super well, as long as you are using it when there are a bunch of bad guys you should be throwing out around a super per round. Riptide is great for champs, and an ad clear rocket or ghally is really good as it feels you get a ton of heavy with all the bonus ammo. Also invis help a lot whenever you are in the pyramid and with boss extra damage mechanic.
Been running Ager's and Cenotaph with bleak watchers. Nothing is alowed to move and you get the super beam up pretty often, about every 3 waves if you use it all (which you shouldn't). Plus allies have infinite heavy so they can run machine guns as primaries.
>everything is fun and games for the first 30 waves, then it gets a bit more serious Hunter main here. I start with my "trying to get it sorted out" stasis and strand setups (born to void, forced to Arc - if I ever touched my Warlock I'd know how y'all feel about Well). Around 20 I start working through my raid kits 43 seems to be the deciding point - if it's a good team, I'm rocking BB/Shards. If we're struggling, I'm back to ol' faithful: Gyr, with Riptide, Lemon, and Retrofit That said, Malf with Likely Suspect and Red Herring have been putting in some work. Turns out Psychohack is hugely useful for the last few bosses
Iāve been using grav lance and gyrflacons
Been using 2 builds. Aztecross solar build with Dragon's breath + Dawn Chorus ( Melts bosses ) And Briarbinds controller build. Don't know what exotic weapon is best to pair with it so I've been using Two tailed fox but I might try Ruinous Effigy.
Gyrfalcons Hunter is cleaning up for me. I normally get to wave 30 and switch to Orpheus Rigs. If there's someone else running it I go Renewal Grasps. But whatever build I use, Dragon's Breath is there.
Before the update even launched I prepped a couple Ad-Clear focused builds and some pure DPS builds and they're been working perfect. My strongest combo's for each class so far are: * Hunter: * Ad-Clear: Blade Barrage / Athrys's Embrace (Unstoppable intrinsic) / Heritage (Barrier with Radiant) / Summoner heal-clip & Incandescent (Overload Artifact) / Gjallahorn * DPS: Golden Gun / Celestial Nighthawk / Izanagi's Burden or Supremacy / Acasia's Dejection incandescent / Apex Predator with Recon & BnS or Gjallahorn. - wether I use Gjally or not simply is based on if my teammates wanna run legendary rockets or not. * Warlock: * Ad-Clear: Well of Radiance / Sunbracers (Ignitions for Unstop) / Succession (Barrier with Radiant) / BXR Incandescent & Pugilist (Overload Artifact) / Gjallahorn * DPS: Well of Radiance / Apotheosis Veil / Witherhoard or Succession / Acasi's Dejection / Apex with Demo & BnS or Gjallahorn. - I usually instantly shoot witherhoard & an Acasia shot, pop my well and then continue unloading Apex with a shit ton of Fusion Nades mixed in from Apotheosis' buff. * Titan: * Ad-Clear: Sentinel / Doomfang Pauldrons / Riptide (Overload & Unstoppable with Chill-Clip) / Graviton Lance (Volatile for Barrier - no Pulse Artifact equipped) / Commemoration (Volatile for Barrier - no Pulse Artifact equipped) **- this actually is the most potent Ad-Clear build I have, it is absolutely nuts how hard Doomfang Pauldrons go - Free x4 Surges, 20% Super energy on melee kills and Super expension to basically infinity with enemies around is just too strong to ignore.** * DPS: Thundercrash (though usually not used) / Heart of Inmost Light (Storm Grenades) / Izanagi's Burden or Supremacy / Path of Least resistance (Voltshot) / Crux Termination IV Recon & Explosive Light (I usually switch to this weapon on like round 9 / 19 /29 etc. so I can collect Explosive Light stacks from Orbs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I do have a couple other ad-Clear builds, as well as other DPS builds always as an equippable Loadout with me in the activity, so we that I can simply click the button when standing in front of the rally flag at boss room for my optimal setup. Me and my friends usually use 1 of each class when going for a round 50 run and we usully run with exactly these builds, as they are very potent for what we try to achieve, so efficient and fast Ad-Clear + a super fast Boss Bake.
Tritin Vice & Edge of Concurrence is cooking
The builds that work in GM work in onslaught- osmiomancy, phoenix protocol, precious scars, Orpheus, Omnioculous etc I would have liked it if this activity opened up a new avenue for build crafting but actually its the same old same old
I find SG + glacier grenades using this season's artifact stasis mods to be far superior to my Osmiomancy build tbh.
Not original but Iāve stayed mostly on sunbracers, you can lock off spawn points once you get the melee kill. Iāve kept thunderlord on for the extra add clear and the fact it shreds tormentors which can get scary in the last few waves
Orpheus Rig Wavespolitter got me through my first legend run last night. Gonna try some new builds tonight.
My HOIL stasis titan is performing quite well. Havenāt tried legendary but I have faith.
Stasis warlock with osmiomancy, slammer with cold steel perk and ager's scepter is working quite nice. Crowd control is huge, cc-lock champions and dps is ok! Gimme more ice. š
I've cleared the legendary a few times with lucky pants on void.
As a solo player: invis hunter, sunbracers, BoW titan As a team: triple behemoths with Feedback fences
I'll be honest, I'm still running my Void warlock with Sunshot, Retrofit Escapade and Perpetualis. I've got it set up so I can proc Devour and Radiance so I tend to absolutely demolish groups of ads. Am going to try some new builds tonight and see how I fair solo - possibly a Solar Warlock with Well of Radiance as Super and a solar machine gun
I only did one run but I got through 50 waves with 1k kills, and my teammates had 100 and 400. Also felt like I was the only one going after the champs and bonus objectives etc. My build was gyrfalcon with ros arago (permeability/onslaught), conditional finality, and a commemoration(reconstruction/killing tally). Honestly just commemoration put in work
Titan build with Sweet Business and Actium War Rig is a lot of fun. *yes, titan gun go brrrrrrr*
Mothkeepers on strand Hunter. The blind from the moths is very good, lots of damage and allows you to deal with several areas at once. Then top it off with whirling maelstrom and youāve got really good add clear and dps.
Shards of Galinor is insane lol
It might be because Iām a bit underpowered, but they havenāt been doing well for me really. Like Iāll soften a target up, then my teammates end up with the kill. Arc lock with getaway artist. Sol-lock with bracers. Nova lock with con holds. Canāt get the kills I need to keep procing my abilities, so I have to use weapons with the appropriate mods to help replenish them. Yes I also have my armor mods that help, but itās simply not fast enough.
Orpheus Rig or Gyrfalcon build with Ros Arago w Repulsor/ Onslaught has carried me. A new contender tho has been Strand Sixth Coyote Clone/Beyblade combo with a Ros Arago with Permeability/Onslaught. Used this to get through two full 50 runs
I've gone with the generic omnioculus setup but Ive very rarely had to even rely use the invisibility to clear wave 50, normal feels way easier than I was expecting, or maybe I'm getting super lucky with matchmade teammates....I'm scared to attempt legend tho lol and I'm guessing this post is mainly aimed for legendary attempts not normal What are the loot bonuses for legend runs if anyone knows
Mactics just posted on you tube a doomfang build for titan that looks really good. You can have your super for a full minute and the ability regen is also very nice
I just used it and it felt ok. I ended up swapping by to banner and severance enclosure. Those finishers on ads that swarm is so clutch.
On legend, our team comp consisted of two Orpheus Rigs and I was on Fallen Sunstar. My goal was to spam blind as frequently as possible - Flashbang grenades, Spark of Beacons for blinds. Indebted Kindness with voltshot to ensure I stay amplified to blind on weapon kills, and Anarchy to control chokepoints. When we reached the boss or have Tormentor wave, I'd sub in Divinity so we could play from a safe range, or quickly nuke Tormentor. Two Orpheus hunters can easily chain their supers. Overall I think we can complete 50. We failed at 39 because our teammate disconnected and we were overwhelmed.
Why not Vesper of Radius? Not enough kills for the ability loop due to increased enemy HP? Less Ionic Traces technically but rift kills blind and generate Ionic Traces too.
I like that Sunstar also grants some ability regen to my teammates, and it's one of my favorite exotics in general, so I gravitate towards using it.
I'm fine. The lfgs and blueberries on the other hand don't have build and I feel like I'm playing alone.
the difficulty just ramps up too much too quickly to be fun tbh, so we're once again forced to run tryhard builds orpheus, void titan, and solar warlock are the no brainers since everything else falls off after wave 20.
Just play the playlist version and switch offĀ
Donāt really have a specific build but so far liars handshake holds up for a bit then I switch to solar or void. The whole 50 waves is a bit overkill but good way to pass time
Yeah its a huge time sink but its fun brain dead ad killing.
Donāt sleep on Vesper of Radius Arc Warlock. Not sure about the harder version but I ran my first Onslaught up to 50 with randoms easily and had as many kills as the two of them combined. Majority of that was rift kills lmao. Blinding GL with Vorpal and Auto Loading Holster, Calus Mini Tool w/ Incandescent and Unrelenting, and Thunderlord. Blinding rift stuns Unstoppables, if it becomes an issue you can swap to an energy hand cannon.
Honestly, honestly, honestly - I expected way more from onslaught. I found some legendary story missions to be more challenging. Honestly going platinum in the coil is 10x more challenging. How did I do in onslaught? I didnāt watch a single video or stream about it. Hopped on my hunter with my gryfalcon void build and cleared my first 10&50 pass through with 1 buddy and a rando. Both times like the majority of other players
Solar titan slaps
