🔥 Ahab Char: Solar Auto Rifle Dominance

destiny-2-edge-of-fate-portal-playlist-god-rolls-guide-image-0

A 720 RPM Solar beast, Ahab Char debuts Burning Ambition, though its 25-hit Scorch trigger is impractical. Instead, prioritize Heal Clip for post-combat recovery and synergy with Solar Fragments like Ember of Benevolence. Pair it with Kill Clip for a lethal damage boost. Ideal for ad-clear in PvE and resilient PvP skirmishes.

Short, snappy sentences. This roll transforms it into a versatile workhorse.

⚔️ Aurora Dawn: Champion-Slaying Sword

Wave frame swords excel at clearing crowds, and Aurora Dawn’s Sharp Harvest spawns Special ammo after three light attacks—perfect for sustained engagements. Combine with Cold Steel to stun Champions in endgame content. A utility powerhouse, though skip it in PvP.

💥 Boomslang-4FR: Burst-Fire Linear Fusion

Burst linears like Boomslang-4FR lack popularity, but Envious Arsenal and Precision Instrument make it a solid hotswap DPS option for long-range bosses. In PvP, Field Prep boosts ammo economy while Vorpal Weapon counters Supers efficiently.

🔫 Faustus Decline: PvP Sidearm Specialist

In skilled hands, Faustus Decline shreds with Sword Logic, enabling a blistering 0.5s TTK in PvP when paired with Hip-Fire Grip. For PvE, Demolitionist grants grenade energy, while Precision Instrument ramps up damage without kill requirements.

⚡ Lionfish-4FR: Veist Fusion DPS King

The first Veist fusion rifle, Lionfish-4FR uses Veist Stinger for auto-reloads during damage phases. Reconstruction and Controlled Burst create a backup DPS monster when heavy ammo runs dry. Avoid Crucible—this roll lacks consistency perks for PvP.

🏹 Mercury-A: High-Impact Bow Innovation

A new archetype featuring overpenetrating arrows like Wish-Ender, Mercury-A trades draw speed for heavy damage. Attrition Orbs and Kinetic Tremors synergize beautifully—enhanced, they spawn Orbs and trigger tremors in just two shots. Not a PvP meta-shifter, but a PvE gem.

🚀 Mint Retrograde: Rocket-Assisted Pulse Mayhem

This rocket-assisted pulse rifle fires micro-missiles that demolish majors at -20 Power. Rewind Rounds auto-reloads the gun, while Chain Reaction creates explosive chain kills. For aggressive play, Beacon Rounds adds tracking after kills. Crucible? Forget it—ammo economy fails here.

💣 Outrageous Fortune: Solar Heavy GL Powerhouse

A Solar version of Chill Inhibitor, Outrageous Fortune shines in raids with Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch for burst DPS. PvP rolls need Full Court and high Weapons stats for one-hit kills—niche but deadly if mastered.

  • Returned Memory (Rocket Sidearm): Solar Incandescent madness—avoid Crucible.
