The best Destiny 2 Warlock builds in Solar 3.0 will get you through both PvP and PvE content, whether you’re gearing up for Crucible or the next raid

The best Destiny 2 Warlock builds have diversified massively since the subclass overhauls gave players more freedom to customise in this FPS game. Now players can not only customise their elemental subclass, armour, weapons, and mods, but they also have the opportunity to choose aspects and fragments, leading to some rather complex character builds.

The detailed Warlock builds here are designed to optimise character strengths for specific purposes. They also reflect the state of the current meta in Solar 3.0, considering the nature of the season’s available activities and the broader context of the weapons, subclasses, and playstyles currently popular in PvP. Another shake-up is on the way with Destiny 2 season 18, but for now, we have you covered. Here are the best Destiny 2 Warlock builds for PvP and PvE in Solar 3.0.

This Warlock PvP build aims to focus on continuous healing for you and your teammates while also maximising weapon and Super effectiveness. The constant healing it grants is a sizable advantage in a 1v1 with an equally skilled player with no similar defensive mechanism. YouTuber Apathetic initially developed this build, which renders the Warlock downright invincible in PvP.

Essential stats: 100 recovery, at least 70 discipline, at least 70 intellect, high recovery if possible.

This Warlock build works because it acts defensively and offensively simultaneously, making it an excellent choice for protecting your team while also dealing mega-damage to ads. The build optimises Stasis turrets, which damage and slow enemies. Additional modifications allow players to freeze their foes with Stasis while prioritising quick ability regeneration. Armour mods also highlight the use of Stasis elemental wells. This build is downright unstoppable in PvE.

Class: Shadebinder – Winter’s Wrath

Essential stats: 100 recovery, 100 discipline, 100 recovery if possible.

Ultimately, your particular build will conform to your playstyle, but this should serve as a starting point to help you understand how the Exotic armour, armour mods, aspects, and fragments can work together to augment your base character class to make it even more powerful.
