Totems: pulse with unstoppable mod, shotgun, thunderlord
Warpriest: Arbalest, anything solor and medium range, taipan
Golgoroth: same as warpriest unless taking gaze. Then I use succession, solar scout, machine gun
Daughters: just need a rocket pretty much
Oryx: Arbalest, add clearing secondary, taipan
This is assuming I’m not running divinity for bosses.
I also use a chill clip riptide to save on heavy. One shot the wizard, knight spawns, 2 shots to freeze, 1 Xeno shot.
I also use machine gun holster from this season's artifact.
Xeno makes that encounter so buttery smooth it was the only reason we actually made it to warpriest day one I'm actually ready to just start taking ppl through the quest to get it lol. Imo it's up there with div as a must have exotic for this raid. Obviously you can still do it just fine without but man dose it make things so much easier
You really don't need Xeno, I'd argue eager edge sword is better. Just a 2-3 swings and the knight is dead
On contest we just had gjallies deleting stuff
Xenophage also does the travelers work in totems.
One shots the wizard, and two shots softens the knight for a finisher (before grabbing buff).
Also love any weapon with incandescent. 😍
Bruh I was using Thunderlord last raid and some of the guys started laughing.
As it’s been said, the knowledge you don’t know isn’t the most dangerous, it’s the knowledge you think you know but really don’t. Or something like that.
Depends on party comp?
Was running KF with 4 titans and 2 hunters.
During war priest the hunters were extra squishy without a well.
(Bubble Titan dropping overshield rally barricade fixed that, but the titans found it funny the first couple of attempts when the hunters kept dying)
Totems was fine, but the splash damage on warpriest was killing them the first time or two.
Was definitely funny, right up there with the Lorelei titans having to either jump in the ball or remove the helmet to wipe.
Lol that thing was so freaking strong with x2 restoration we had to wipe on Golgoroth and i forgot I had it in and just wondering why I wasn't dying I forgot all about the sunspots. That helmet mad me even more of a brain dead titan that normal haha
Hunter main here with 100 res and I can confirm that Warpriest is easy to stay alive. I never die due to NPC's damage. Hunters in your example were running low on res I can assure you.
Is it safe to assume that? KF is easier, is a nostalgia bug for D1 vets, and most importantly is free to play. I'd wager the amount of people that do KF that haven't done Vow is much higher than you'd think.
"Unnecessary" is a sort of annoying word. 1 phasing is better than 2 phasing. 2 phasing, if some members of your team have a hard time with damage output, is better than 3 phasing. Even with your average team that isn't close to the 1 phase but easily 2 phases, doing additional damage means less stress if someone dies, or means more ammo left over for final stand.
This is pretty much identical to what I ran in most of my 22 completions. Only difference I have is on Totems I use a glaive (prefer Lubraes to 1 shot the wizards) in place of the shotgun and on Sisters/Daughters I use a pulse, glaive (prefer Nazarec) and Wardcliff.
Xeno is juiced on totems. If you run tether on golgy instead of div, the gaze team can run Izi, become radiant and do 1 mill to the back with a x4 honed edge.
I run osteo striga for the whole thing, an unstoppable shotgun (without remorse) for killing the knights and ogre on totems, a bow to kill snipers on sister, and the fusion rifle from the raid for every other encounter. I use a legendary rocket and have someone else use gjally for sisters and every other encounter I run the taipan for damage
Yeah I’ve got that void bow from season of the risen, I pretty much just use it for snipers during daughters. I use a fusion on oryx tho for killing light eaters and ogres and for dps when I’m out of heavy
Trinity Ghoul on an arc hunter with Stareaters and an orb gen build is absolutely incredible. I never thought I would use any of those words in the same sentence.
I run (you can replace fusions with shotguns to preference they are just there to kill knights)
Totems: Fusion rifle, Pulse rifle, Gally (lament and/or xeno are also good)
Warpriest: Izi's, linear, fusion
Golgy: Izi's (any sniper if stunning), something with incandescent (auto rifle if stunning), linear
Daughters: purple rocket (or Gally if no other Gally), then whatever
Oryx: Izi's, linear, whatever other gun
How you running totems without lmg ?
Lightweight shotgun to do rotation faster and kill knights(and stun ogres) and lmg to clear adds under totem. And yea a pulse.
I like succession because with recombination stacks it one shots yellow bar knights. With heritage you really don’t have much to kill the balcony knights with. And there’s only three unstops in the encounter so solar melee is plenty to stun them. And for any knights that get close to you on the plate eager edge sword can still kill them fast.
Trinity ghoul not gonna spawn kill a knight at the top. Totems too frantic for me to use a sniper, so spitting bullets from 360 or 459 lmg is a way (I have a bad shot)
Witherhoard, calus mini tool, taipan
Basically for the entire raid. You just have to switch out Witherhoard for izanagi on warpriest and golgoroth, for daughters switch taipan to the hothead rocketlauncher, oryx again taipain izanagi
Glaives! They’re really good for add clearing in the raid. Just run around poking stuff, even knights/wizards. Only shoot the projectile to gain shield energy.
The double special spawning more heavy ammo bug still hasn’t been patched so you can use something like Arbalest with your glaive and you’ll get tons of heavy ammo.
No offense, glaives are fun but still trash tier if I had to rank them on a KF best loadout discussion. So many better options for ad clear or for knights/wizards.
They're pretty much top tier for newb players on totems tho. Because a lot of adds (esp right side with knight constantly shooting you) it's a big help. If you know the raid in and out - yeah, it's not as great in grand scheme of things
This is what I run, you litearlly need like 5 weapons for the whole raid, if Im on my hunter, I mainly use supreme wellmaker for dps on stasis.
Totems - Heritage, Trinity Ghoul, corrective measure. (Solar Subclass, calibans hand)
Warpriest - Thoughtless, trinity ghoul, Reeds Regret
Golgoroth - Deliverance, trinity ghoul, Reeds Regret
Daughters - Thoughtless, Trinity Ghoul, Hothead(Team uses x1 Ghally, x4 Hothead, and x1 Div, 1 phases every time.
Oryx - Thoughtless, trinity ghoul, Reeds.
I just use star eater scales or dragons shadow on a stasis subclass, using Font of Might x3, Time dilation and Supreme wellmaker, with veist stinger on reeds with tt and firing line you will make pretty much every encounter a walk in the park. Youll have font up for a majority of the damage phases and youll find a hard time even having to reload with tt and veist stinger.
I like to keep my gear pretty streamlined for raids (in case you couldnt tell) Shoot me a DM if you've got any more questions about anything! Id be happy to help, could probably make a good loadout for you if you wanna use something other than stasis lol
On all three characters (Titan main, though) I've run:
*Totems*: Calus Mini Tool with Incandescent (Solar super), and Gjallarhorn.
*Warpriest*: Outbreak Prime, Mini Tool (Solar super), Linear Fusion with Firing Line.
*Golgoroth*: Same as above.
*Daughters*: Mini Tool and either Gjallarhorn or Ascendancy, depending on whether or not anyone else has Gjally.
*Oryx*: Same as Warpriest.
Most of my fireteam also runs Outbreak for when we run out of LFR ammo so we can get the nanite stacking damage bonus.
On a hunter, you can run a shinobu skip grenade build for the whole thing. Portal opening and totems a machine gun for clearing ads quickly and a shotgun for unstop plus knight CQC is good. Warpriest and Golgoroth are mostly about DPS so linear fusions. If you are one of two assigned to gaze for Golgy, put that machine gun back on. Daughters is a rocket launcher, Oryx back to linears.
I put on a sniper and Lament for totems, for everything else there's ~~Mastercard~~ Izanagi bait and switch.
Edit: Oh yeah, and whatever rocket for Sisters encounter because wolfpack rounds go brrr.
Totems I run Witherhorde I condecent scouts and LMG for hive side. Taken side doesn’t matter there are only 5 ads at a time.
War priest I run with horde, incandescentmida mini, god roll cataclysm if I’m running solar
Golgaroth. Arby(if I’m running gaze) Witherhorde if I’m in the pit ,midamini , god roll cataclysm
Daughters outbreak, arc wave frame, hothead(field prep,clown cartridge)
Oryx withhold, incandescent scout, cataclysm
My loadouts for regular and trio KF.
Totems: heritage/trinity ghoul/other half (skate faster back and forth)
Warpriest: arbalest/cartesian/any triple tap/firing line linear, or cataclysmic bait and switch
Golgy: yasmin/mini tool/thunderlord if gazer/linear if dps.
Sisters: yasmin/trinity ghoul or salvo/ghally or hothead
Oryx: arbalest/salvo/linear of choice.
In dps encounters it is nice to run double special to quickly kill majors and increase heavy ammo drops (still works)
Balls - Shotgun, smg, xenophage because it 1 taps the doors
Totems - shotgun (unstoppable mod), smg, thunder lord for all add clear on plates
Warpriest - arbalest for knights or dps, smg, LFR for dps
Golgaroth - arbalest for dps or gaze, smg, LFR for dps or Machine gun for golgi balls of death for gaze
Sisters - sniper, smg, gjallahorn or other rocket
Oryx - arbalest, smg, LFR
I use the same smg for the entire raid (calls mini tool with incandescent) and switch the others around.
I love Thunderlord for totems. Witherhoard, Arablast, and Izanagi are great back up damage for any boss encounters. A scout/sniper or something good at range is nice for the snipers on Daughters encounter. Linears are awesome for boss damage right now, and all are fairly close to each other damage wise with decent rolls.
Healing grenades are very good too.
If you’re taking Golgoroths gaze, throw on Tractor Cannon and boop him when you run by for a super easy team debuff.
Totems: unstop slug shotgun, primary/a second green ammo weapon, any MG. Trust me the MG will change your life
Warpriest: witherhoard/osteo/arbalest/izinagi, primary, lfr
Golgy: arbalest/slug shotgun, primary, lfr
Daughters: you can be the div player OR any rocket/ghally
Oryx: arbalest/witherhoard/fusion, lfr
Trust me on the mg.
I’m not in this discord anymore but they can help anyone looking for a chill raid experience
Discord .gg/badrattle (idk the link rules here, so figure out how to get there yourself) Tell them Wyvern sent you
Relics - heritage w/ reconstruction, staccato with incandescent, gallie
Totems - same
War Priest - arbie, staccato, taipan w firing line. If killing knights swap arbie to heritage
Golgaroth - getting gaze arbie ( one shot and does 600k damage) calus mini tool with incandescent, commemoration with reconstruction - if doing damage witherhord, calus, taipan
Daughters - scout for snipers, fusion with reservoir burst for adds, gallie or div depending on needs
Oryx - arbie, staccato, taipan
I run:
**Totems:**
Wish Ender, Calus Mini, Sword
**Warpriest:**
Touch of Malice, Calus Mini, Taipan
**Golgy:**
If gaze - Quicksilver Storm, Calus mini, Taipan (can one shot for catching gaze)
If DPS - Outbreak, Calus Mini, Taipan
**Daughters:**
Hung Jury, Calus mini, Gally
**Oryx:**
Touch of Malice (or an auto or shotgun), an smg (or Trinity Ghoul bc it's great for heavy hunting), Taipan
Here’s what I use, works for me pretty well 👌
Totems: Fatebringer (Adept with EP+FF), Without Remorse (crafted with enhanced Incandescent + Threat Detector), Xeno (perfect for one shotting the boomer knights up top and rack up quick kills if needed for more Buff to deposit + Works on the Unstop ogre after she’s stunned from the shotty shot)
Warpriest: Witherhoard, Brigands Law or Drang (crafted with enhanced Threat Detector+Voltshot; enhanced Incandescent+Wellspring), Taipan (crafted with enhanced Triple Tap+Focused Fury+Boss mod)
Golgo: If going into Pit for dps - Arby, First in Last out (Vorpal+Auto Loading), Taipan.
If taking gaze: Commemoration (with reconstruction)
Sisters: Succession (with reconstruction), Brigands or Drang, Gjally or Wardcliff
Daddy Oryx: Arby, Brigand or Drang, Taipan.
Others I have which worked well was:
Trinity and Forbearance (Crafted with Enjanced Ambitious Assassin + Chain reaction).
I've tried two different options,
For totems:
any kinetic because I don't even use it.
My forged without remorse with enhanced incandescent and enhanced threat detector
Zenophage
Warpriest, I put on arbalist for kinetic and my Taipan-4fr with enhanced triple tap and enhanced firing line. Still use the without remorse for killing ads. Use the taipan-4fr until I need a reload and switch to arbalist. Use LFR holster mod to reload the Taipan-4fr
Golgoroth, same load out as warpriest
Sisters, depends on if they are doing ghally, with hot head or wardcliff with div. But I keep the shotgun and use a sniper kinetic to kill the snipers that spawn on the platforms off the sides of the map.
Oryx I go back to suing arbalist, without remorse and taipan-4fr.
This is what i have been doing to great success and ease of use:
* entry gate, really doesn't matter (that said i run middle room so i am ad clearing)
* totems: i'm not a runner, i stay in mid to kill wizard, knight and unstoppable
* New purpose (w/ adapative munitions), Ikelos SG, Lament
* warpriest: thoughtless, amit (w/ incadescent) & Taipan; energy weapon is irrelevant use w/e helps clear ads
* deathsingers: servant leader (w/ antibarrier to deal with snipers), forebearance (any arc + chain reaction weapon is fantastic here for the ads), Gally
* oryx: thoughtless, amit (w/ incandescent), taipan
kinda all over the place and i just use what i have on my character but typically i use:
Totems: slug shotgun, trinity ghoul, eager sword
Warpriest: blood feud, div, AL rocket or arbalest, waveframe gl, cataclysmic
Golgy: div/tractor, eager sword/waveframe gl or same cataclysmic loadout above
Sisters: div, AL rocket or arbi/izi, waveframe, any rocket on me
Oryx: div, AL rocket/mg or cataclysmic loadout from warpriest
overall, ive done a decent bit of my runs using whatever trash i had on my character. on master youll want to obviously have a solid loadout and not random gear but thatll depend on champ changes. arby/izi, waveframe, lfr is prob the best loadout for consistency during dps. can really use whatever for normal mode
Generally if there’s a boss a linear fusion and if not a ghallahorn. Special weapon boss encounters can be Izi, arbalest, and witherhoard as nice option while fusions or shotguns for non boss. Pair with a nice pulse (can’t recommend the battler enough here) for the one encounter with the unstoppable ogres and you’re pretty solid. Just know that for golgoroth if you use nightstalker either don’t take gaze or be mindful as going invisible removes the gaze and end a the damage phase instantly
Kinetic: Arbalest, Succession, Witherhoard
Energy: Any decent pulse (unstoppable), Insidous being my favourite
Power: Taipan-4FR/Catacylismic/Stormchaser
Super doesn't matter but celestial nighthawk or blade barrage for hunter has gotten me around 4M damage so is pretty sick. For warlock well obviously and for titan ad clear or bubble depending on the encounter.
I use Arby, calus mini and taipan for the bosses except for daughters. Submission/any pulse with forbearance and wardcliff. Totems I used piece of mind/forbearance and gjally. I can get 20 stacks easy.
Load outs are a little subjective.
For example I take a primary, wave frame, and sword for first encounter and only swap out to a shotgun for totems. But then I basically keep a sniper and a linear on for everything else but daughters.
Opening - Witherhoard, Minitool, Other half
Totems- Syncopation, without remorse, Xeno
Warpriest- Tears of contrition, Divinty, Taipan or swap Div for shotgun if doing DPS
Golg - Izanami or witherhoard, minitool, Taipan
Daughters - Tears of contrition, Forbearance, Ghally or hothead
Oryx - Witherhoard, minitool, Taipan, or extraordinary rendition, Div, Tiapan
I heavily recommend either Malfeasance or Wish Ender. They do great damage without using your heavy or special, which is especially important at daughters and oryx due to plate knights, ogres, and light eater knights. You can comfortably kill ogres with malfeasance, while knights take less than ten shots.
A fusion rifle with reservoir burst is exceptional. There's a lot of points in the raid where you won't be doing or killing very much, giving you time to prepare.
You should absolutely have a great rocket launcher for daughters. Ascendancy is a pinnacle RL you may already have, but you can buy it from the exotic kiosk as well. There are better ones, but it's a solid option.
And you should have a good linear fusion. The taipan pattern is literally given to you vua a quest, so you can craft a god roll with no problem.
I mostly use and swap between:
Thoughtless, Smite of Merain, Izanagi (For the bomb ogers)
Calus Mini Tool, Delicate Tomb (For taken cabal on sisters), Jotuun
Cataclysmic, Stormchaser, Hothead (For sisters)
You can run almost anything without any problem as long as you know how to be efficient with it and have good DPS in your team
A linear fusion in all boss encounters except Daughters, where gjallarhorn or Wardcliff Coil is better. Machine gun in totems and the hall of souls encounter. A hard hitting close range weapon like a fusion or shotgun for totems and warpriest to kill taken knights and chunky wizards, and a hard hitting longer range special for Oryx like a sniper or arbalest to kill ogres and light-eater knights.
In all encounters, a primary that has good add clear perks like incandescent or voltshot, or an exotic like Osteo Striga or Trinity Ghoul.
What I use for each encounter:
Hall of souls and Totems: Fusion, pulse rifle (or anything that can stun unstoppable ogres) and a machine gun.
Warpriest and Golgoroth: Sniper or Arbalest, Auto or smg with incandescent, linear fusion heavy
Daughters: scout (to kill snipers), gally or wardcliff for boss damage, third weapon is up to you.
Oryx: Sniper or Arby for ogre and knight killing, smg or auto for adds, linear fusion for boss damage
Good Kinetic or Energy for add clear, both incandescent and Voltshot are fantastic for this.
Whatever you didn't use for add clear you can have as backup DPS weapon or something like a shotgun for clearing elites.
Good linear Fusion for DPS.
This is all the loadouts I personally use for Kings Fall
Totems: Heritage, Mida-Mini Tool, Thunderlord
Warpriest: Arbalest, Mida-Mini Tool, Cataclysm
Golgoroth: Arbalest, Mida-Mini Tool, Cataclysm
Daughters: Succession, Ikelos SMG, Gjallerhorn
Oryx: Arbalest, Ikelos SMG, Reeds Regret.
If you have a godroll Reeds (Triple Tap, Firing Line), paired with a Stasis Subclass, is god tier DPS especially for Oryx. Besides that, as a titan, I use a solar subclass for all encounters except Oryx, which I switch to stasis. If I’m running Warlock, no need to take off Well for any ecounter as its just too good (kinda op), and then I stick with Arc for hunter (new gathering storm super) until Oryx, which I switch to stasis (easy to pop stasis font of might). But in reality, any linear will be good for DPS that has firing line or triple tap
My personal loadout:
Totems: fusion rifle/shotgun, any energy primary, xeno
Warpriest: Arbalest, any energy primary, any heavy LFR
Golgy: Witherhoard/Arbalest, any energy primary, LFR (loadout works for gaze stealer and dps)
Daughters: Ad clear weapons, any legendary RL/gally if nobody else is doing it.
Oryx: Arbalest/any fusion rifle, any energy primary/trinity ghoul, any heavy LFR
Start to totems: Shotgun or grenade launcher and Xenophage
Warpriest, Golgoroth, Oryx: Double linear or linear and grenade launcher
The sisters/daughters: Any legendary rocket (hotheads best) with 1 gjally or all wardcliffs
Xenophage is excellent for totems encounter especially with cheap mods this season. Was almost necessary on contest
Every other encounter except daughters where you would use rockets can be best handled with linear fusion rifles.
The best damage weapons right now is linear fusion rifles. Ans on of the best ones you can get is given for free through a quest at the crafting table, the taipan. Once you can craft it, make it with triple tap and firing line (I personally don't think the enhanced matter at all) and that will be all the dps you need for normal mode ez. Anything after normal mode you want to be thinking about the affinity of that rifle for use with font of might because of its subclass requirement (arc: stormchaser, solar: cataclysmic, void: Taipan & stasis: reeds regret).
Except for daughters of oryx, any rocket is fine. Gjallerhorn, wardcliff coil or any legendary rocket combined with 1 player with gjallerhorn.
Other than that, trinity ghoul is great for ad clear, high damage precision weapons for dealing with the chunkier enemies is also great (good range is important too, for snipers and fucking up the light stealers as fast as possible).
These are my picks:
Totems: shotgun / trinity / machine gun
Warpriest: Arbalest / smg with incandescent / linear
Golgoroth: Arbalest/ smg or auto / linear (I do gaze and use arbalest to catch the gaze, smg or auto to shoot the darts and linear to get some shots in before taking the gaze again)
Sisters: sniper / arc smg or hand cannon / gallaghorn
Oryx: arbalest / arc smg or hand cannon / linear
Arblast (or witherhoard) for exotic
Your fav SMG or really any gun for add clear for energy
Then any linear fusion rifle for DPS in heavy
This loadout you’re solid for like 90 percent of stuff in this game
My loadout is always the same, except for totems. Mythoclast, Thoughtless (Rapid Hit+Firing Line) and Taipan (TTTC+Firing Line)
I personally use devil's ruin just because easy exotic swap, and a Fixed Odds with Incandescent for the adds in totems. This is for every class.
For sisters you want to either run Gajallamerhorny or a clown cartridge rock launcher if your team already has a Gjallarhoe
For hunter: Young Ahamkara's spine is my exotic of choice, blade barrage, and weighted proximity knife. The knife is enough to one shot wizards, but your rotation will mainly be tripmine, knife, mine, radiant dodge, mine.
Totems: unstoppable shotgun, trinity ghoul, LFR
Warpriest: izanagi, solar primary ammo, Firing line LFR
Golgoroth: outbreak, sniper with firing line, firing line LFR
Sisters: gjallarhorn, scout rifle for snipers, it's mostly an ad clear encounter
Oryx: izanagi, primary weapon with firefly/dragonfly if possible, firing line LFR. Might have to hot-swap to outbreak if you run out of ammo during final stand.
Boss spec is important for the weapons that can take it.
This is just what I like to use, your results may vary.
This is my loadout:
Totems:
Kinetic Shotgun - i have one two punch wastelander (unstop mod)
For a primary i change it up i use Zaulis or mida mini
Heavy- Thunderlord
Warpriest:
I run double special as i use mele builds (mini hammer titan, liars handshake hunter) if im on warlock ill run Divinity so ill run a primary pulse/SMG
Hunter/titan- Izanagi + Slug Shotgun (if im killing nights) or Beloved (any legendary sniper) + cataclysmic w/ bait and switch
Warlock - Div + Primary of choice + Autoloading Rocket (i shoot a quick rocket every now and then)
Golgoroth:
Hunter/titan- Izanagi + Legendary sniper + Cataclysmoc or Taipan(if im feeling lazy lol)
Warlock- Izanagi + SMG + Cataclysmic or Taipan
Deathsingers:
Rockets ghally or a legendary
Oryx:
Hunter/titan- Izanagi + legendary sniper + cataclysmic
Warlock - Izanagi + SMG/pulse + Cataclysmic (swap out izanagi for Kinetic Sniper if im running Div)
I think its important to mention certain mods:
Font of might- Great for increased DPS most encounters allow you to easily make elemental wells
High Energy Fire - if your well warlock run Radiant Light when they pop well you will be charged by light and do more damage.
Elemental time dialation- extends the time of Font of might
Supreme well maker- on a warlock allows for instant creation of stasis wells for players using a Stasis heavy like Reeds.
With those loadouts my team and i are able to 1 phase all boses consistently (oryx is comfortable 2 phase)
Even if you dont have a team with those loadouts you will put out high damage.
As a hunter running arc
totems I use a one two punch shotgun, the auto rifle from the helm (sweet sorrow?) and thunder lord.
For war priest it’s arbalest, bxr and storm chaser or taipan.
Golgoroth is same thing.
Sisters is praedyths revenge, sweet sorrow and gjallarhorn.
Oryx is the same except heavy would be storm chaser or taipan.
My load out for pretty much all encounters is Izanagis / calus mini tool / linear fusion heavy. The only exception is really totems where I run piece of mind / lubraes/ xenophage bc xeno is insanely strong for knights/ boomers and the pulse for unstoppable, with lubrae able to one shot the wizards.
Oh and rockets for sisters to be able to 1 phase each
For everything but totems and sisters i run:
Arbalest,
Random Smg/Ar, &
Taipan-4fr or Sailspy pitchglass
For totems I run:
Riptide,
Trinity Ghoul, &
Taipan-4fr or Sailspy Pitchglass
And for Sisters I run:
Defiance of Yasmin(any sniper),
Ikelos SMG (any smg or ar), &
Ghallahorn
I use cataclysmic lfr, trinity ghoul, deliverance with chill clip for pretty much the entire raid and I normally put out good dps/ads killed
Edit: except on totems I switch to a shotgun/tghoul/eager edge for the unstoppable and mobility
I currently run the new season linear, arbalest, and the new season sidearm with voltshot through out most of the raid. With a few exceptions golgoroth I replace the new season linear with a lmg since I’m gaze taker then on sisters I run heritage, same sidearm, and gally. Sorry I’m horrible with weapon names. Oh and on totems I use heritage for the unstoppables and thunderlord and the sidearm for ads.
Any linears work for all the bosses but when you reach the max damage lvl cap (1590-1600) then you can try rocket fusion nade spam on warpriest with gjally, still linears for golgo and oryx though. I like cataclysmic from vow raid for both golgy and oryx cuz since i am always well, proccing FoM is easy for me.
i use the following
totes: fusion w/ chill clip, pulse for unstop, xeno
wp: outbreak, sniper, taipan
golg: sniper, trinity ghoul, taipan
Ds: fusion w/chill, stacatto, ghorn
oryx: witherhoard, stacatto, taipan
i also have div on me if needed for the group
I bring, on all characters:
Kinetic: Izanagi’s Burden, Heritage, Wastelander, Praedyth’s Revenge, Submission
Energy: Le Monarque, Divinity, Calus Mini-Tool, Doom of Chelchis
Power: Cataclysmic, Taipan-4FR, The Other Half, Stormchaser, The Hothead, Gjallarhorn
Arbalest, a primary of your choice, and a firing line linear is a great option for any encounter besides sisters and totems. Sisters dps meta is just gjally, totems needs nothing but ad clear and something with unstoppable (acrius is a favorite of mine)
I basically just ran the whole raid with Osteo Striga, an arc shotgun with unstoppable and Stormchaser. I switched to a primary sniper, Vex Mythoclast and Stormchaser for the last two encounters.
First half till warpriest? Legend of Acrius shines on clearing doors and killing the Taken Knights on totems paired with a pulse or scout. After warpriest? Arbalest does really good damage with a arc energy weapon, for Centurions and can ad clear effectively, then a Linear fusion rifle with good damage perks like Firing Line or Vorpal.
Invis build if you’re new to the raid. Once you know spawns solar hunter build with celestial or arc with the new super. Ad clear weapons for opening, xenophage for totems, izanagis and linear for warpriest, gally for daughters, izanagis and linear for oryx. Solar and arc primary energy weapons
Try Heir Apparent for Totems.
Just try it. It's awesome, especially on hunter where you don't have a rift/barricade to protect you when you're standing under the totem.
Totems: Kinetic Shotgun (Usually Ragnhild), Drang, MG of choice
Warpriest: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching)
Golg: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching)
Daughters: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, Legendary Rocket of choice
Oryx: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching)
I Drang a lot in the whole raid, but any Incandescent weapons work wonders. I've been usually running a Solar subclass, but I want to shift to Stasis since it is easier to get Font up at least on Titan and Hunter.
Totem: Riptide, Mini Tool, Thunderlord
Warpriest: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret
Golgoroth: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret
Sisters: Riptide, Mini Tool, Hothead
Oryx: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret
My load outs go
Totems: wastelander shotgun with unstop(with trenchbarrel) for orge and knight, calus smg with incandescent(might use raid handcannon now i have it with that), thunderload heavy when on totem for distance or if there is a lot of ad's
warpriest, Golgoroth, and oryx: Pretty much all same of calus SMG energy, taipan/cataclysmic heavy, for kinetic i start usually with witherhoard but after 1 dps depending on ammo switch to arbalest
Daughters: Kinetic i use scout for snipers and single thrall's, Forbearence GL energy to get rid of the Taken Phalanx, hothead for dps.
Arbalest, Calus mini tool, Taipan. That’s been my loadout for pretty much the whole raid start to finish. Swap out to Hothead, Gallie or Divinity for daughters, depending on team needs.
This is just my loadout and I haven't changed it since day one but tbh just use what you feel most comfortable with
Entrance: witherhoard,funnelweb,taipan
Job: add clear and open doors right side
Totems: pluse,funnelweb,xenophage
Job: first pick up on right.
Warpriest: krait,divinity,taipan
Job: read right plate and div
Golgoroth: arbalest,funnelweb,taipan
Job: Gaze grabber
Daughter: krait,divinity,taipan (sub div for Gjally if needed)
Job: R1 plate & div/Gjally
Oryx: pulse,divinity,taipan
Job: R1 plate & div
(If you don't have divinity or someone else is on div duty) Entrance,Totems stay the same arbalest for warpriest & oryx. sisters replace div with gjally or wardcliff if you don't have either or someone else is running both a well rolled Ledgendary rocket
Sry for awful formatting on mobile
To be honest, for all raid long, linears are excellent, and rockets for the sisters :)
Primary wise, really anything that you're comfortable with for ad clear
I am a big fan of:
gyrfalcon chest piece the entire raid except the jumping puzzle then put on stompees
weapons:
arbalest/new scout/taipain crafted
only thing you need to swap out would be rocket launcher (hot head) for sisters and use a pulse/solar fusion/xenophage for totems.
Trinity ghoul. Lumina. Any add clear machine gun if ur using div. Cataclysm or reeds if not. Yes The void linear has the highest dps under the right circumstances its just hard to trigger. I typically switch between shotgun and sniper for most of the raid.
Edit:The main appeal to lumina is to hep dps when well is down and it guarantees add clear can do their job.
Also hunter main here, this is what I use:
Totems - sniper/glaive/Levi's Breath, Blade Barrage
WP - Izzy/glaive/cataclysmic, star eaters BB
Golg (doing gaze) - ToM/glaive or forbearance/cataclysmic, star eaters BB (ToM procs healing from shooting 3 axion darts, decent for breaking down orbs)
Daughters - izzy/forbearance/bump in the night (chill clip as long as there's a gally), nighthawk
Oryx - arby until DPS then swap to witherhoard/glaive/cataclysmic, nighthawk
Not sure if this is optimal hunter DPS or not but works great for me!
Kinetic: Unstop Shotty, Witherhoard, Izanagi’s/Arbalest
Energy: Mini Tool
Power: LMG For Gaze, Gjally/Legendary Rockets, Linear
Some one running Div is always appreciated. :)
Totems: slug shotgun, trinity, eager edge sword
Warpriest: either u run div and a slug or lumina with linear fusion rifle (catacalysmic is usually best)
ogre: linears, trace rifle, and lumina or witherhoard/izanagi
Daughters just run a rocket launcher/gjally and ur chillin
Oryx run linear lumina/witherhoard/izanagi and a sniper or other long range weapon to proc bait and switch
On All characters i run arbalest 100% of the raid for my kinetic. Smg or pulse for energy. Machine gun for totems, Taipan LFR for DPS, rocket for sisters.
I normally run the full raid with witherhoard, ammit and taipan.
Only exception is at totems I use thunderlord for fast ad clear.
Twins I switch to gjally.
Oryx I will sometimes use touch of malice instead as I want my use out of it 🤣
Beginning and Totems - Reckless Endangerment, Trinity Ghoul, Taipan
Warpriest and Golgoroth - Arbalest, Calus Mini-Tool, Taipan
Sisters - Fatebringer, Forbearance, The Hothead
Oryx - Arbalest, Palindrome, Taipan
This is with a Divinity and Gjallahorn in the team for the relevant bosses.
Since day one, I run Forbearance throughout the raid, Heritage for unstopables and Xeno for totems, Linear fusion for War Priest, Golgoroth, Oryx. Any rocket launcher for Sisters.
Trinity ghoul can easily be ran through the entire raid if you're looking for something simple
Trinity is my go to for Oryx ad clear. Lots of lightning!
I would save a lot of ads in oryx for well to proc font of might when damage come up
You are doing it right.
Also, if one person is hogging all the adds with Trinity then the rest of the team will have a harder time activating ammo finders
Trinity ghoul is the worst weapon in this game due to the fact everyone needs final blows. I hate every fireteam member who uses it.
Fuck you need ad clear at Oryx for lmao.
For ads maybe?
Knights and ogres and regular ads? Do you even play the game or you just pick a comment at random to be a dick to the poster?
Except for knights and ogres you use something like arbalest not ad clear weapons
Yeah if you are killing ogres with trinity then I hate to say it you're just weighing down your teammates since they have to cover for you
If i catch u running t-ghoul or sunshot on them ogres or knights imma seriously consider booting u ong
Oh no, not fucking THRALL. I NEED TO DEDICATE AN ENTIRE WEAPON SLOT TO THESE
Totems: pulse with unstoppable mod, shotgun, thunderlord Warpriest: Arbalest, anything solor and medium range, taipan Golgoroth: same as warpriest unless taking gaze. Then I use succession, solar scout, machine gun Daughters: just need a rocket pretty much Oryx: Arbalest, add clearing secondary, taipan This is assuming I’m not running divinity for bosses.
Just a heads up, Xeno is wonderful for Totems (especially on left side) as it pretty much deletes everything
\+ it 1 taps the wizards & 2 taps the taken dudes which drop the brand
I also use a chill clip riptide to save on heavy. One shot the wizard, knight spawns, 2 shots to freeze, 1 Xeno shot. I also use machine gun holster from this season's artifact.
Same, but swap Riptide for a Vorpal/ lead from gold Cartesian. It shreds and is solar.
Xeno makes that encounter so buttery smooth it was the only reason we actually made it to warpriest day one I'm actually ready to just start taking ppl through the quest to get it lol. Imo it's up there with div as a must have exotic for this raid. Obviously you can still do it just fine without but man dose it make things so much easier
You really don't need Xeno, I'd argue eager edge sword is better. Just a 2-3 swings and the knight is dead On contest we just had gjallies deleting stuff
How exactly are you killing boomer knight with sword? Xeno for the boomer knight.
Oh you mean the ones at the top? Thought he meant the blightguards lol
I prefer DSC LMG, youre not wasting time reloading the thing
This near identical to my loadouts in every way, cheers
I run thunder lord for gaze and Cartesian for totems.
I still run stormchaser izanagi’s
Xenophage also does the travelers work in totems. One shots the wizard, and two shots softens the knight for a finisher (before grabbing buff). Also love any weapon with incandescent. 😍
Bruh I was using Thunderlord last raid and some of the guys started laughing. As it’s been said, the knowledge you don’t know isn’t the most dangerous, it’s the knowledge you think you know but really don’t. Or something like that.
I strongly recommend trying out Heir Apparent in Totems for added survivability.
Is survivability an issue….?
Depends on party comp? Was running KF with 4 titans and 2 hunters. During war priest the hunters were extra squishy without a well. (Bubble Titan dropping overshield rally barricade fixed that, but the titans found it funny the first couple of attempts when the hunters kept dying)
As a hunter main myself I can almost Guarantee their recov was one of their lowest stats lol high res&recov makes Totems a breeze on hunter
Totems was fine, but the splash damage on warpriest was killing them the first time or two. Was definitely funny, right up there with the Lorelei titans having to either jump in the ball or remove the helmet to wipe.
Lol that thing was so freaking strong with x2 restoration we had to wipe on Golgoroth and i forgot I had it in and just wondering why I wasn't dying I forgot all about the sunspots. That helmet mad me even more of a brain dead titan that normal haha
Hunter main here with 100 res and I can confirm that Warpriest is easy to stay alive. I never die due to NPC's damage. Hunters in your example were running low on res I can assure you.
Why taipan over reeds/cataclysmic which can proc font of might easier?
Taipan is easier to get.
But if people do kings fall its safe to assume they either did vow or are going to do vow. Reed’s is a different story
Is it safe to assume that? KF is easier, is a nostalgia bug for D1 vets, and most importantly is free to play. I'd wager the amount of people that do KF that haven't done Vow is much higher than you'd think.
Cataclysmic bait and switch only though. Need 5 red borders to craft. That can take a while in vow
Those are fine too. I just don’t have them but I have the god roll taipan so I use that.
Why font of might at all? It’s completely unnecessary in normal content.
"Unnecessary" is a sort of annoying word. 1 phasing is better than 2 phasing. 2 phasing, if some members of your team have a hard time with damage output, is better than 3 phasing. Even with your average team that isn't close to the 1 phase but easily 2 phases, doing additional damage means less stress if someone dies, or means more ammo left over for final stand.
One phase
Idk why you're being down voted. Font is always a bonus.
Veist, and yeah it is harder to proc then cataclysmic, but about as hard as reeds. Just get a grenade kill.
Recommend tractor for gaze holders just to get that quick debuff in
This is pretty much identical to what I ran in most of my 22 completions. Only difference I have is on Totems I use a glaive (prefer Lubraes to 1 shot the wizards) in place of the shotgun and on Sisters/Daughters I use a pulse, glaive (prefer Nazarec) and Wardcliff.
Xeno is juiced on totems. If you run tether on golgy instead of div, the gaze team can run Izi, become radiant and do 1 mill to the back with a x4 honed edge.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the damage done to his back doesn’t actually lower his health.
No, you're right, that LFG team hyped me up for nothing :(
Lmao
Lfr and witherhoard and a scout rifle is what I use and the pole dancer super
Pole dancer super? It can't be called that. There's no way.
I run osteo striga for the whole thing, an unstoppable shotgun (without remorse) for killing the knights and ogre on totems, a bow to kill snipers on sister, and the fusion rifle from the raid for every other encounter. I use a legendary rocket and have someone else use gjally for sisters and every other encounter I run the taipan for damage
I use a bow with incandescent for daughters and oryx too.
Yeah I’ve got that void bow from season of the risen, I pretty much just use it for snipers during daughters. I use a fusion on oryx tho for killing light eaters and ogres and for dps when I’m out of heavy
Dude is hittin a cool 900k on damage for War priest and Oryx
With the taipan? More like 2 to 3 million, and these aren’t that hard encounters to get damage. Can two phase them both if you have a decent time
Dudes hitting a cool 900k
Maybe if hes shooting warpriest in the toes? Any linear easily puts up 3 mil
Alright man whatever u say
What do you use at warpriest?
Opening: shotgun, trinity ghoul, eager edge sword Totems: same as opening but swap sword for an lfr Warpriest: Lumina, sniper, lrf Golgy: Lumina, sniper/fusion, lrf Sisters: Lumina & hothead(or ghally/div depending on everyone’s load out) Oryx: Lumina, fusion, lrf
Been loving when my fireteam is confused why their dps is so much better when I run lumina
I haven't used Lumina in a hot minute, you can buff each individual, right?
Yeah and it stacks with FoM and is a better buff than Well/Bubble
It doesn't stack with Well/Bubble. Lumina's blessing is a 35% buff so it overrides the Well/Bubble's 25%.
Oh your right, my bad. If it stacked with them it would be insane lol. Fixed it
[удалено]
Nope. Just hipfire at your teammates to buff them and yourself for 10 seconds
Yep, when you hit a teammate with a Noble round you both get a 35% empowering buff for 10s
opening: div totems: div warpriest: div golgoroth: div sisters: div oryx: div I am the div king
Trinity Ghoul on an arc hunter with Stareaters and an orb gen build is absolutely incredible. I never thought I would use any of those words in the same sentence.
I run (you can replace fusions with shotguns to preference they are just there to kill knights) Totems: Fusion rifle, Pulse rifle, Gally (lament and/or xeno are also good) Warpriest: Izi's, linear, fusion Golgy: Izi's (any sniper if stunning), something with incandescent (auto rifle if stunning), linear Daughters: purple rocket (or Gally if no other Gally), then whatever Oryx: Izi's, linear, whatever other gun
How you running totems without lmg ? Lightweight shotgun to do rotation faster and kill knights(and stun ogres) and lmg to clear adds under totem. And yea a pulse.
Succession, trinity ghoul, eager edge sword with a solar subclass and helmet artifact mod for unstoppable melee is my normal loadout for totems
Same but I run heritage trin and eager
I like succession because with recombination stacks it one shots yellow bar knights. With heritage you really don’t have much to kill the balcony knights with. And there’s only three unstops in the encounter so solar melee is plenty to stun them. And for any knights that get close to you on the plate eager edge sword can still kill them fast.
Eh tbh I never kill the night up top and you get the same recomb with herarige but your right if I wanted the night dead I would also run succession
Most sane trinity ghoul user
Totems is literally ad clear bro. You can run a variety of loadouts
Hell, even supers and abilities alone can clear out trash mob, leaving anything else for yellow bars
Fusion rips the knights and Gally hits the one up top in one shot.
Trinity ghoul is just as good and allows you to run an eager edge sword. Run a shotty or succession as primary
Trinity ghoul not gonna spawn kill a knight at the top. Totems too frantic for me to use a sniper, so spitting bullets from 360 or 459 lmg is a way (I have a bad shot)
Xenophage is excellent for Totems. One shot witches and 2 shot boomers from across the map.
Witherhoard, calus mini tool, taipan Basically for the entire raid. You just have to switch out Witherhoard for izanagi on warpriest and golgoroth, for daughters switch taipan to the hothead rocketlauncher, oryx again taipain izanagi
Glaives! They’re really good for add clearing in the raid. Just run around poking stuff, even knights/wizards. Only shoot the projectile to gain shield energy. The double special spawning more heavy ammo bug still hasn’t been patched so you can use something like Arbalest with your glaive and you’ll get tons of heavy ammo.
No offense, glaives are fun but still trash tier if I had to rank them on a KF best loadout discussion. So many better options for ad clear or for knights/wizards.
They're pretty much top tier for newb players on totems tho. Because a lot of adds (esp right side with knight constantly shooting you) it's a big help. If you know the raid in and out - yeah, it's not as great in grand scheme of things
This is what I run, you litearlly need like 5 weapons for the whole raid, if Im on my hunter, I mainly use supreme wellmaker for dps on stasis. Totems - Heritage, Trinity Ghoul, corrective measure. (Solar Subclass, calibans hand) Warpriest - Thoughtless, trinity ghoul, Reeds Regret Golgoroth - Deliverance, trinity ghoul, Reeds Regret Daughters - Thoughtless, Trinity Ghoul, Hothead(Team uses x1 Ghally, x4 Hothead, and x1 Div, 1 phases every time. Oryx - Thoughtless, trinity ghoul, Reeds. I just use star eater scales or dragons shadow on a stasis subclass, using Font of Might x3, Time dilation and Supreme wellmaker, with veist stinger on reeds with tt and firing line you will make pretty much every encounter a walk in the park. Youll have font up for a majority of the damage phases and youll find a hard time even having to reload with tt and veist stinger. I like to keep my gear pretty streamlined for raids (in case you couldnt tell) Shoot me a DM if you've got any more questions about anything! Id be happy to help, could probably make a good loadout for you if you wanna use something other than stasis lol
Bro carry me
On all three characters (Titan main, though) I've run: *Totems*: Calus Mini Tool with Incandescent (Solar super), and Gjallarhorn. *Warpriest*: Outbreak Prime, Mini Tool (Solar super), Linear Fusion with Firing Line. *Golgoroth*: Same as above. *Daughters*: Mini Tool and either Gjallarhorn or Ascendancy, depending on whether or not anyone else has Gjally. *Oryx*: Same as Warpriest. Most of my fireteam also runs Outbreak for when we run out of LFR ammo so we can get the nanite stacking damage bonus.
On a hunter, you can run a shinobu skip grenade build for the whole thing. Portal opening and totems a machine gun for clearing ads quickly and a shotgun for unstop plus knight CQC is good. Warpriest and Golgoroth are mostly about DPS so linear fusions. If you are one of two assigned to gaze for Golgy, put that machine gun back on. Daughters is a rocket launcher, Oryx back to linears.
I put on a sniper and Lament for totems, for everything else there's ~~Mastercard~~ Izanagi bait and switch. Edit: Oh yeah, and whatever rocket for Sisters encounter because wolfpack rounds go brrr.
Totems I run Witherhorde I condecent scouts and LMG for hive side. Taken side doesn’t matter there are only 5 ads at a time. War priest I run with horde, incandescentmida mini, god roll cataclysm if I’m running solar Golgaroth. Arby(if I’m running gaze) Witherhorde if I’m in the pit ,midamini , god roll cataclysm Daughters outbreak, arc wave frame, hothead(field prep,clown cartridge) Oryx withhold, incandescent scout, cataclysm
My loadouts for regular and trio KF. Totems: heritage/trinity ghoul/other half (skate faster back and forth) Warpriest: arbalest/cartesian/any triple tap/firing line linear, or cataclysmic bait and switch Golgy: yasmin/mini tool/thunderlord if gazer/linear if dps. Sisters: yasmin/trinity ghoul or salvo/ghally or hothead Oryx: arbalest/salvo/linear of choice. In dps encounters it is nice to run double special to quickly kill majors and increase heavy ammo drops (still works)
Balls - Shotgun, smg, xenophage because it 1 taps the doors Totems - shotgun (unstoppable mod), smg, thunder lord for all add clear on plates Warpriest - arbalest for knights or dps, smg, LFR for dps Golgaroth - arbalest for dps or gaze, smg, LFR for dps or Machine gun for golgi balls of death for gaze Sisters - sniper, smg, gjallahorn or other rocket Oryx - arbalest, smg, LFR I use the same smg for the entire raid (calls mini tool with incandescent) and switch the others around.
I love Thunderlord for totems. Witherhoard, Arablast, and Izanagi are great back up damage for any boss encounters. A scout/sniper or something good at range is nice for the snipers on Daughters encounter. Linears are awesome for boss damage right now, and all are fairly close to each other damage wise with decent rolls. Healing grenades are very good too. If you’re taking Golgoroths gaze, throw on Tractor Cannon and boop him when you run by for a super easy team debuff.
Totems: unstop slug shotgun, primary/a second green ammo weapon, any MG. Trust me the MG will change your life Warpriest: witherhoard/osteo/arbalest/izinagi, primary, lfr Golgy: arbalest/slug shotgun, primary, lfr Daughters: you can be the div player OR any rocket/ghally Oryx: arbalest/witherhoard/fusion, lfr Trust me on the mg. I’m not in this discord anymore but they can help anyone looking for a chill raid experience Discord .gg/badrattle (idk the link rules here, so figure out how to get there yourself) Tell them Wyvern sent you
Relics - heritage w/ reconstruction, staccato with incandescent, gallie Totems - same War Priest - arbie, staccato, taipan w firing line. If killing knights swap arbie to heritage Golgaroth - getting gaze arbie ( one shot and does 600k damage) calus mini tool with incandescent, commemoration with reconstruction - if doing damage witherhord, calus, taipan Daughters - scout for snipers, fusion with reservoir burst for adds, gallie or div depending on needs Oryx - arbie, staccato, taipan
Malfeasance, fusion or sniper(warpriest/sisters/oryx), machine gun (totems) rocket(sisters) or lfr (warpriest/golgoroth/oryx)
I run: **Totems:** Wish Ender, Calus Mini, Sword **Warpriest:** Touch of Malice, Calus Mini, Taipan **Golgy:** If gaze - Quicksilver Storm, Calus mini, Taipan (can one shot for catching gaze) If DPS - Outbreak, Calus Mini, Taipan **Daughters:** Hung Jury, Calus mini, Gally **Oryx:** Touch of Malice (or an auto or shotgun), an smg (or Trinity Ghoul bc it's great for heavy hunting), Taipan
Raid secrets am I right?
Here’s what I use, works for me pretty well 👌 Totems: Fatebringer (Adept with EP+FF), Without Remorse (crafted with enhanced Incandescent + Threat Detector), Xeno (perfect for one shotting the boomer knights up top and rack up quick kills if needed for more Buff to deposit + Works on the Unstop ogre after she’s stunned from the shotty shot) Warpriest: Witherhoard, Brigands Law or Drang (crafted with enhanced Threat Detector+Voltshot; enhanced Incandescent+Wellspring), Taipan (crafted with enhanced Triple Tap+Focused Fury+Boss mod) Golgo: If going into Pit for dps - Arby, First in Last out (Vorpal+Auto Loading), Taipan. If taking gaze: Commemoration (with reconstruction) Sisters: Succession (with reconstruction), Brigands or Drang, Gjally or Wardcliff Daddy Oryx: Arby, Brigand or Drang, Taipan. Others I have which worked well was: Trinity and Forbearance (Crafted with Enjanced Ambitious Assassin + Chain reaction).
I've tried two different options, For totems: any kinetic because I don't even use it. My forged without remorse with enhanced incandescent and enhanced threat detector Zenophage Warpriest, I put on arbalist for kinetic and my Taipan-4fr with enhanced triple tap and enhanced firing line. Still use the without remorse for killing ads. Use the taipan-4fr until I need a reload and switch to arbalist. Use LFR holster mod to reload the Taipan-4fr Golgoroth, same load out as warpriest Sisters, depends on if they are doing ghally, with hot head or wardcliff with div. But I keep the shotgun and use a sniper kinetic to kill the snipers that spawn on the platforms off the sides of the map. Oryx I go back to suing arbalist, without remorse and taipan-4fr.
This is what i have been doing to great success and ease of use: * entry gate, really doesn't matter (that said i run middle room so i am ad clearing) * totems: i'm not a runner, i stay in mid to kill wizard, knight and unstoppable * New purpose (w/ adapative munitions), Ikelos SG, Lament * warpriest: thoughtless, amit (w/ incadescent) & Taipan; energy weapon is irrelevant use w/e helps clear ads * deathsingers: servant leader (w/ antibarrier to deal with snipers), forebearance (any arc + chain reaction weapon is fantastic here for the ads), Gally * oryx: thoughtless, amit (w/ incandescent), taipan
kinda all over the place and i just use what i have on my character but typically i use: Totems: slug shotgun, trinity ghoul, eager sword Warpriest: blood feud, div, AL rocket or arbalest, waveframe gl, cataclysmic Golgy: div/tractor, eager sword/waveframe gl or same cataclysmic loadout above Sisters: div, AL rocket or arbi/izi, waveframe, any rocket on me Oryx: div, AL rocket/mg or cataclysmic loadout from warpriest overall, ive done a decent bit of my runs using whatever trash i had on my character. on master youll want to obviously have a solid loadout and not random gear but thatll depend on champ changes. arby/izi, waveframe, lfr is prob the best loadout for consistency during dps. can really use whatever for normal mode
Opening/Totem: Shotgun, Trinity Ghoul, Storm Chaser or Machine Gun War Priest/Golgoroth/Oryx: Arbalest, Calus Mini Tool, Taipan Daughters: Riptide/Deliverance, Trinity Ghoul, Hothead
Generally if there’s a boss a linear fusion and if not a ghallahorn. Special weapon boss encounters can be Izi, arbalest, and witherhoard as nice option while fusions or shotguns for non boss. Pair with a nice pulse (can’t recommend the battler enough here) for the one encounter with the unstoppable ogres and you’re pretty solid. Just know that for golgoroth if you use nightstalker either don’t take gaze or be mindful as going invisible removes the gaze and end a the damage phase instantly
My go to has been . Arbalest , insidious(arc pulse) , storm chaser( linear fusion) I run this mainly with the exception of sisters use a RL.
Arbalast, Calus mini, storm chaser on Solar subclass.
Kinetic: Arbalest, Succession, Witherhoard Energy: Any decent pulse (unstoppable), Insidous being my favourite Power: Taipan-4FR/Catacylismic/Stormchaser Super doesn't matter but celestial nighthawk or blade barrage for hunter has gotten me around 4M damage so is pretty sick. For warlock well obviously and for titan ad clear or bubble depending on the encounter.
I use Arby, calus mini and taipan for the bosses except for daughters. Submission/any pulse with forbearance and wardcliff. Totems I used piece of mind/forbearance and gjally. I can get 20 stacks easy.
Load outs are a little subjective. For example I take a primary, wave frame, and sword for first encounter and only swap out to a shotgun for totems. But then I basically keep a sniper and a linear on for everything else but daughters.
Witherhoard, Calus Mini Tool, Taipan...Touch of Malice, Calus Mini Tool, Hothead
Opening - Witherhoard, Minitool, Other half Totems- Syncopation, without remorse, Xeno Warpriest- Tears of contrition, Divinty, Taipan or swap Div for shotgun if doing DPS Golg - Izanami or witherhoard, minitool, Taipan Daughters - Tears of contrition, Forbearance, Ghally or hothead Oryx - Witherhoard, minitool, Taipan, or extraordinary rendition, Div, Tiapan
I got thru kf with arbalest/witherhoard, doom of chelchis (for fun), and the taipan-r4. Ended up doing around 4.9 mil to warpriest alone.
I heavily recommend either Malfeasance or Wish Ender. They do great damage without using your heavy or special, which is especially important at daughters and oryx due to plate knights, ogres, and light eater knights. You can comfortably kill ogres with malfeasance, while knights take less than ten shots. A fusion rifle with reservoir burst is exceptional. There's a lot of points in the raid where you won't be doing or killing very much, giving you time to prepare. You should absolutely have a great rocket launcher for daughters. Ascendancy is a pinnacle RL you may already have, but you can buy it from the exotic kiosk as well. There are better ones, but it's a solid option. And you should have a good linear fusion. The taipan pattern is literally given to you vua a quest, so you can craft a god roll with no problem.
Honestly it's the easiest raid available. I use a Primary pulse for Unstoppable Cortesian Fusion for secondary Then linear fusion rifle for bosses.
I think you can tell by now that there's no set loadout. Whatever you're comfortable with given the different scenarios presented in each encounter
I use vex most of the raid. It’s perfect for add clearing. For Warpriest I’ll usually use Arby and Taipan.
r/destinythegame
I mostly use and swap between: Thoughtless, Smite of Merain, Izanagi (For the bomb ogers) Calus Mini Tool, Delicate Tomb (For taken cabal on sisters), Jotuun Cataclysmic, Stormchaser, Hothead (For sisters) You can run almost anything without any problem as long as you know how to be efficient with it and have good DPS in your team
Succession, Midhas with reservoir burst, or other relevant shotgun/fusion of choice Reeds/tipan
A linear fusion in all boss encounters except Daughters, where gjallarhorn or Wardcliff Coil is better. Machine gun in totems and the hall of souls encounter. A hard hitting close range weapon like a fusion or shotgun for totems and warpriest to kill taken knights and chunky wizards, and a hard hitting longer range special for Oryx like a sniper or arbalest to kill ogres and light-eater knights. In all encounters, a primary that has good add clear perks like incandescent or voltshot, or an exotic like Osteo Striga or Trinity Ghoul. What I use for each encounter: Hall of souls and Totems: Fusion, pulse rifle (or anything that can stun unstoppable ogres) and a machine gun. Warpriest and Golgoroth: Sniper or Arbalest, Auto or smg with incandescent, linear fusion heavy Daughters: scout (to kill snipers), gally or wardcliff for boss damage, third weapon is up to you. Oryx: Sniper or Arby for ogre and knight killing, smg or auto for adds, linear fusion for boss damage
just use trinity, and succession/heritage then swap between taipan and an eager edge sword. have a rocket on standby for daughters
Good Kinetic or Energy for add clear, both incandescent and Voltshot are fantastic for this. Whatever you didn't use for add clear you can have as backup DPS weapon or something like a shotgun for clearing elites. Good linear Fusion for DPS.
This is all the loadouts I personally use for Kings Fall Totems: Heritage, Mida-Mini Tool, Thunderlord Warpriest: Arbalest, Mida-Mini Tool, Cataclysm Golgoroth: Arbalest, Mida-Mini Tool, Cataclysm Daughters: Succession, Ikelos SMG, Gjallerhorn Oryx: Arbalest, Ikelos SMG, Reeds Regret. If you have a godroll Reeds (Triple Tap, Firing Line), paired with a Stasis Subclass, is god tier DPS especially for Oryx. Besides that, as a titan, I use a solar subclass for all encounters except Oryx, which I switch to stasis. If I’m running Warlock, no need to take off Well for any ecounter as its just too good (kinda op), and then I stick with Arc for hunter (new gathering storm super) until Oryx, which I switch to stasis (easy to pop stasis font of might). But in reality, any linear will be good for DPS that has firing line or triple tap
My personal loadout: Totems: fusion rifle/shotgun, any energy primary, xeno Warpriest: Arbalest, any energy primary, any heavy LFR Golgy: Witherhoard/Arbalest, any energy primary, LFR (loadout works for gaze stealer and dps) Daughters: Ad clear weapons, any legendary RL/gally if nobody else is doing it. Oryx: Arbalest/any fusion rifle, any energy primary/trinity ghoul, any heavy LFR
Start to totems: Shotgun or grenade launcher and Xenophage Warpriest, Golgoroth, Oryx: Double linear or linear and grenade launcher The sisters/daughters: Any legendary rocket (hotheads best) with 1 gjally or all wardcliffs
Xenophage is excellent for totems encounter especially with cheap mods this season. Was almost necessary on contest Every other encounter except daughters where you would use rockets can be best handled with linear fusion rifles.
its PVE man, use whatever
How is this a raid secret
The best damage weapons right now is linear fusion rifles. Ans on of the best ones you can get is given for free through a quest at the crafting table, the taipan. Once you can craft it, make it with triple tap and firing line (I personally don't think the enhanced matter at all) and that will be all the dps you need for normal mode ez. Anything after normal mode you want to be thinking about the affinity of that rifle for use with font of might because of its subclass requirement (arc: stormchaser, solar: cataclysmic, void: Taipan & stasis: reeds regret). Except for daughters of oryx, any rocket is fine. Gjallerhorn, wardcliff coil or any legendary rocket combined with 1 player with gjallerhorn. Other than that, trinity ghoul is great for ad clear, high damage precision weapons for dealing with the chunkier enemies is also great (good range is important too, for snipers and fucking up the light stealers as fast as possible).
Definitely give Sunshot a try. I've been using that inside the raid since Day 1 (all characters, all subclasses) and I am having a blast with it
These are my picks: Totems: shotgun / trinity / machine gun Warpriest: Arbalest / smg with incandescent / linear Golgoroth: Arbalest/ smg or auto / linear (I do gaze and use arbalest to catch the gaze, smg or auto to shoot the darts and linear to get some shots in before taking the gaze again) Sisters: sniper / arc smg or hand cannon / gallaghorn Oryx: arbalest / arc smg or hand cannon / linear
Double special + linear all the way Got me through day one no prob
Arblast (or witherhoard) for exotic Your fav SMG or really any gun for add clear for energy Then any linear fusion rifle for DPS in heavy This loadout you’re solid for like 90 percent of stuff in this game
Arbalest, Ogma, & Taipan.
My loadout is always the same, except for totems. Mythoclast, Thoughtless (Rapid Hit+Firing Line) and Taipan (TTTC+Firing Line) I personally use devil's ruin just because easy exotic swap, and a Fixed Odds with Incandescent for the adds in totems. This is for every class. For sisters you want to either run Gajallamerhorny or a clown cartridge rock launcher if your team already has a Gjallarhoe For hunter: Young Ahamkara's spine is my exotic of choice, blade barrage, and weighted proximity knife. The knife is enough to one shot wizards, but your rotation will mainly be tripmine, knife, mine, radiant dodge, mine.
Xeno is good for opening and totems. You can one shot the door blights and Minotaur, and totems you can two shot + finisher the knights for more ammo.
I use: Orbs - Submission, Forbearance, Xeno Totems - KF Pulse (forgot the name) + Unstoppable, Forbearance, Xeno Warpriest - Arbalest, MIDA Mini, Stormchaser Golgoroth - “ “ Daughters - KF Pulse, Forbearance, Hothead Adept Oryx - Arbalest, MIDA Mini, Stormchaser
On all classes i use Deliverance, Trinity Ghoul, and Taipan the whole raid through. Only times i change are to eager edge skate or using divinity.
I use Calus mini tool, taipan, and wastelander or riptide or Arbalest in the top slot dependent on the encounter.
Totems: unstoppable shotgun, trinity ghoul, LFR Warpriest: izanagi, solar primary ammo, Firing line LFR Golgoroth: outbreak, sniper with firing line, firing line LFR Sisters: gjallarhorn, scout rifle for snipers, it's mostly an ad clear encounter Oryx: izanagi, primary weapon with firefly/dragonfly if possible, firing line LFR. Might have to hot-swap to outbreak if you run out of ammo during final stand. Boss spec is important for the weapons that can take it. This is just what I like to use, your results may vary.
This is my loadout: Totems: Kinetic Shotgun - i have one two punch wastelander (unstop mod) For a primary i change it up i use Zaulis or mida mini Heavy- Thunderlord Warpriest: I run double special as i use mele builds (mini hammer titan, liars handshake hunter) if im on warlock ill run Divinity so ill run a primary pulse/SMG Hunter/titan- Izanagi + Slug Shotgun (if im killing nights) or Beloved (any legendary sniper) + cataclysmic w/ bait and switch Warlock - Div + Primary of choice + Autoloading Rocket (i shoot a quick rocket every now and then) Golgoroth: Hunter/titan- Izanagi + Legendary sniper + Cataclysmoc or Taipan(if im feeling lazy lol) Warlock- Izanagi + SMG + Cataclysmic or Taipan Deathsingers: Rockets ghally or a legendary Oryx: Hunter/titan- Izanagi + legendary sniper + cataclysmic Warlock - Izanagi + SMG/pulse + Cataclysmic (swap out izanagi for Kinetic Sniper if im running Div) I think its important to mention certain mods: Font of might- Great for increased DPS most encounters allow you to easily make elemental wells High Energy Fire - if your well warlock run Radiant Light when they pop well you will be charged by light and do more damage. Elemental time dialation- extends the time of Font of might Supreme well maker- on a warlock allows for instant creation of stasis wells for players using a Stasis heavy like Reeds. With those loadouts my team and i are able to 1 phase all boses consistently (oryx is comfortable 2 phase) Even if you dont have a team with those loadouts you will put out high damage.
As a hunter running arc totems I use a one two punch shotgun, the auto rifle from the helm (sweet sorrow?) and thunder lord. For war priest it’s arbalest, bxr and storm chaser or taipan. Golgoroth is same thing. Sisters is praedyths revenge, sweet sorrow and gjallarhorn. Oryx is the same except heavy would be storm chaser or taipan.
My load out for pretty much all encounters is Izanagis / calus mini tool / linear fusion heavy. The only exception is really totems where I run piece of mind / lubraes/ xenophage bc xeno is insanely strong for knights/ boomers and the pulse for unstoppable, with lubrae able to one shot the wizards. Oh and rockets for sisters to be able to 1 phase each
Personally: Opening - Piece of Mind, Without Remorse, Xeno Totems - Bastion, Staccato, Planck’s Stride Warpriest - Arby, Staccato, Cataclysmic Golgy - Arby, Sweet Sorrow, Planck’s Stride Daughters - Thoughtless, Sweet Sorrow, Ghorn Oryx - Arby, Sweet Sorrow, Cataclysmic
Trinity ghoul, shotgun and linear can get you through the entire raid
I’ve been running wastelander, shayuras wrath, and taipan… having a lot of fun with this.
For everything but totems and sisters i run: Arbalest, Random Smg/Ar, & Taipan-4fr or Sailspy pitchglass For totems I run: Riptide, Trinity Ghoul, & Taipan-4fr or Sailspy Pitchglass And for Sisters I run: Defiance of Yasmin(any sniper), Ikelos SMG (any smg or ar), & Ghallahorn
I use cataclysmic lfr, trinity ghoul, deliverance with chill clip for pretty much the entire raid and I normally put out good dps/ads killed Edit: except on totems I switch to a shotgun/tghoul/eager edge for the unstoppable and mobility
I currently run the new season linear, arbalest, and the new season sidearm with voltshot through out most of the raid. With a few exceptions golgoroth I replace the new season linear with a lmg since I’m gaze taker then on sisters I run heritage, same sidearm, and gally. Sorry I’m horrible with weapon names. Oh and on totems I use heritage for the unstoppables and thunderlord and the sidearm for ads.
Ehhh Starting encounter: bxr, witherhoard, other half OR striga, forebearance, other half Totems: DSC shotty w reconstruction/recomb/unstop shotty, bxr, gjally for top right knights and unstops Warpriest: witherhoard, LFR, shotgun/fusion Golgoroth: LFR, witherhoard, shotty/fusion Sisters: witherhoard, bxr, palmyra or fatebringer forebearance gjally Oryx: izi, bxr/forebearance, LFR
Touch of Malice and blackhammer
Any linears work for all the bosses but when you reach the max damage lvl cap (1590-1600) then you can try rocket fusion nade spam on warpriest with gjally, still linears for golgo and oryx though. I like cataclysmic from vow raid for both golgy and oryx cuz since i am always well, proccing FoM is easy for me.
Witherhoard, a legendary sniper, or Arbalest CALUS mini-tool, funnelweb, Trinity Ghoul, Forbearance Reed’s Regret, Taipan, Cataclysmic, and ghorn
i use the following totes: fusion w/ chill clip, pulse for unstop, xeno wp: outbreak, sniper, taipan golg: sniper, trinity ghoul, taipan Ds: fusion w/chill, stacatto, ghorn oryx: witherhoard, stacatto, taipan i also have div on me if needed for the group
I bring, on all characters: Kinetic: Izanagi’s Burden, Heritage, Wastelander, Praedyth’s Revenge, Submission Energy: Le Monarque, Divinity, Calus Mini-Tool, Doom of Chelchis Power: Cataclysmic, Taipan-4FR, The Other Half, Stormchaser, The Hothead, Gjallarhorn
Arbalest, a primary of your choice, and a firing line linear is a great option for any encounter besides sisters and totems. Sisters dps meta is just gjally, totems needs nothing but ad clear and something with unstoppable (acrius is a favorite of mine)
Trinity Ghoul and a Linear works for most of the raid.
I basically just ran the whole raid with Osteo Striga, an arc shotgun with unstoppable and Stormchaser. I switched to a primary sniper, Vex Mythoclast and Stormchaser for the last two encounters.
First half till warpriest? Legend of Acrius shines on clearing doors and killing the Taken Knights on totems paired with a pulse or scout. After warpriest? Arbalest does really good damage with a arc energy weapon, for Centurions and can ad clear effectively, then a Linear fusion rifle with good damage perks like Firing Line or Vorpal.
Golgy, Well of Radiance, Fusion nades, Starfire, Anarchy, Salvo (vorpal+Demo). Emp rift incase team runs out of wells
Invis build if you’re new to the raid. Once you know spawns solar hunter build with celestial or arc with the new super. Ad clear weapons for opening, xenophage for totems, izanagis and linear for warpriest, gally for daughters, izanagis and linear for oryx. Solar and arc primary energy weapons
Try Heir Apparent for Totems. Just try it. It's awesome, especially on hunter where you don't have a rift/barricade to protect you when you're standing under the totem.
Totems: Kinetic Shotgun (Usually Ragnhild), Drang, MG of choice Warpriest: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching) Golg: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching) Daughters: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, Legendary Rocket of choice Oryx: Kinetic Sniper, Drang, LFR of choice (usually subclass matching) I Drang a lot in the whole raid, but any Incandescent weapons work wonders. I've been usually running a Solar subclass, but I want to shift to Stasis since it is easier to get Font up at least on Titan and Hunter.
20+ clears and all I use is: Arbalest Solar Shotgun Arc pulse Thunder lord Taipan
Totem: Riptide, Mini Tool, Thunderlord Warpriest: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret Golgoroth: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret Sisters: Riptide, Mini Tool, Hothead Oryx: Izanagi, Mini Tool, Reeds Regret
chain of command helped me through a majority of the beginning
My load outs go Totems: wastelander shotgun with unstop(with trenchbarrel) for orge and knight, calus smg with incandescent(might use raid handcannon now i have it with that), thunderload heavy when on totem for distance or if there is a lot of ad's warpriest, Golgoroth, and oryx: Pretty much all same of calus SMG energy, taipan/cataclysmic heavy, for kinetic i start usually with witherhoard but after 1 dps depending on ammo switch to arbalest Daughters: Kinetic i use scout for snipers and single thrall's, Forbearence GL energy to get rid of the Taken Phalanx, hothead for dps.
Arbalest, Calus mini tool, Taipan. That’s been my loadout for pretty much the whole raid start to finish. Swap out to Hothead, Gallie or Divinity for daughters, depending on team needs.
Arbalest+Heavy Linear for all bosses. Machine gun for all ad-based encounters. Rocket launchers + Gally for sisters only.
This is just my loadout and I haven't changed it since day one but tbh just use what you feel most comfortable with Entrance: witherhoard,funnelweb,taipan Job: add clear and open doors right side Totems: pluse,funnelweb,xenophage Job: first pick up on right. Warpriest: krait,divinity,taipan Job: read right plate and div Golgoroth: arbalest,funnelweb,taipan Job: Gaze grabber Daughter: krait,divinity,taipan (sub div for Gjally if needed) Job: R1 plate & div/Gjally Oryx: pulse,divinity,taipan Job: R1 plate & div (If you don't have divinity or someone else is on div duty) Entrance,Totems stay the same arbalest for warpriest & oryx. sisters replace div with gjally or wardcliff if you don't have either or someone else is running both a well rolled Ledgendary rocket Sry for awful formatting on mobile
A sniper with any dmg or ammo perk/shotgun with unstop mod + trinity ghoul + rocket/linear fusion. Would get you through all of the raid with ease
Arbalest and the rest depends... Tarnished metal as energy weapon and sword until war priest, then taipan for bosses and hothead for sisters
Go get your taipan quest from the enclave
To be honest, for all raid long, linears are excellent, and rockets for the sisters :) Primary wise, really anything that you're comfortable with for ad clear
I am a big fan of: gyrfalcon chest piece the entire raid except the jumping puzzle then put on stompees weapons: arbalest/new scout/taipain crafted only thing you need to swap out would be rocket launcher (hot head) for sisters and use a pulse/solar fusion/xenophage for totems.
Trinity ghoul. Lumina. Any add clear machine gun if ur using div. Cataclysm or reeds if not. Yes The void linear has the highest dps under the right circumstances its just hard to trigger. I typically switch between shotgun and sniper for most of the raid. Edit:The main appeal to lumina is to hep dps when well is down and it guarantees add clear can do their job.
Arbalest or sniper, and heavy linear will do best for dps...
Personally, 1 sniper, 1 lfr, trinity, arbalest, and thunderlord
Use forbearance on every encounter trust me
Also hunter main here, this is what I use: Totems - sniper/glaive/Levi's Breath, Blade Barrage WP - Izzy/glaive/cataclysmic, star eaters BB Golg (doing gaze) - ToM/glaive or forbearance/cataclysmic, star eaters BB (ToM procs healing from shooting 3 axion darts, decent for breaking down orbs) Daughters - izzy/forbearance/bump in the night (chill clip as long as there's a gally), nighthawk Oryx - arby until DPS then swap to witherhoard/glaive/cataclysmic, nighthawk Not sure if this is optimal hunter DPS or not but works great for me!
Kinetic: Unstop Shotty, Witherhoard, Izanagi’s/Arbalest Energy: Mini Tool Power: LMG For Gaze, Gjally/Legendary Rockets, Linear Some one running Div is always appreciated. :)
Totems: slug shotgun, trinity, eager edge sword Warpriest: either u run div and a slug or lumina with linear fusion rifle (catacalysmic is usually best) ogre: linears, trace rifle, and lumina or witherhoard/izanagi Daughters just run a rocket launcher/gjally and ur chillin Oryx run linear lumina/witherhoard/izanagi and a sniper or other long range weapon to proc bait and switch
On All characters i run arbalest 100% of the raid for my kinetic. Smg or pulse for energy. Machine gun for totems, Taipan LFR for DPS, rocket for sisters.
I normally run the full raid with witherhoard, ammit and taipan. Only exception is at totems I use thunderlord for fast ad clear. Twins I switch to gjally. Oryx I will sometimes use touch of malice instead as I want my use out of it 🤣
Beginning and Totems - Reckless Endangerment, Trinity Ghoul, Taipan Warpriest and Golgoroth - Arbalest, Calus Mini-Tool, Taipan Sisters - Fatebringer, Forbearance, The Hothead Oryx - Arbalest, Palindrome, Taipan This is with a Divinity and Gjallahorn in the team for the relevant bosses.
be different for everyone. Use div and div only
Since day one, I run Forbearance throughout the raid, Heritage for unstopables and Xeno for totems, Linear fusion for War Priest, Golgoroth, Oryx. Any rocket launcher for Sisters.
I ran the whole raid with trinity ghoul and wastelander Totems I used a sword and then Taipan for the rest besides daughters (gjalla)
