Void Subclass: The Power of Darkness

The Void subclass in Destiny 2 harnesses the power of the Darkness, offering Guardians a versatile toolkit focused on suppression, invisibility, and damage over time. This subclass excels at controlling the battlefield, supporting allies, and executing stealthy maneuvers, making it a popular choice for various activities.

Void abilities are characterized by their ability to weaken enemies, disorient them, and render Guardians unseen. Whether you're playing as a Hunter, Titan, or Warlock, the Void subclass provides unique ways to approach combat, from tactical retreats to overwhelming enemy forces with debuffs. Understanding its core tenets is key to maximizing its potential.

Core Void Abilities and Aspects

The Void subclass is built around several fundamental abilities, augmented by powerful Aspects and Fragments:

  • Grenades: Void grenades include the Vortex Grenade (lingering damage field), Suppression Grenade (disables enemy abilities), and Void Wall Grenade (creates a horizontal wall of Void energy).
  • Melee Abilities: These vary by class but often involve Void energy. For example, the Hunter's Snare Bomb can weaken and suppress enemies.
  • Class Abilities: These provide utility, such as the Hunter's Dodge which can reload weapons or grant melee energy, and the Titan's Barricade which can provide cover and weaken enemies.
  • Super Abilities: These are the most powerful abilities. Examples include the Hunter's Shadowshot (tethers enemies and debuffs them), the Titan's Ward of Dawn (creates a protective bubble that grants armor and buffs), and the Warlock's Nova Bomb (unleashes a devastating Void explosion).

Key Aspects for Each Class

Aspects are powerful modifiers that fundamentally change how your abilities function:

  • Hunter:
    • Stylish Executioner: Defeating a suppressed or volatile target grants Truesight and makes you invisible.
    • Vanishing Step: Dodging makes you invisible.
  • Titan:
    • Bastion: Casting your class ability near allies or yourself grants a Void overshield.
    • Controlled Demolition: Void grenades now create volatile-charged lingering explosions. Void-debuffed targets explode when killed.
  • Warlock:
    • Child of the Old Gods: Void abilities grant a Void Buddy that seeks out targets and deals damage, weakening them and granting ability energy.
    • Feed the Void: Killing a Void-debuffed target with Void damage triggers an]));

Fragments: Enhancing Void Power

Fragments provide passive buffs and further customize your Void build. Some notable examples include:

  • Echo of Persistence: Void buffs applied to you (Invisibility, Overshield, and Devour) have increased duration.
  • Echo of Undermining: Void grenades weaken enemies.
  • Echo of Starvation: Picking up an Orb of Power grants Devour.
  • Echo of Remnants: Void grenades have increased duration.

Devour: The Quintessential Void Perk

Devour is a highly sought-after buff that can be activated through various means, most commonly by picking up an Orb of Power with the Echo of Starvation fragment. When Devour is active, defeating an enemy with any weapon or ability fully restores your health and grants grenade energy. This makes Void builds incredibly survivable, especially in challenging content.

Recommended Loadouts and Playstyles

Void subclasses are excellent for several roles. For survivability, focus on builds that grant Devour and Overshields. For crowd control, use Suppression Grenades and abilities that make enemies volatile. For stealth and precision, Hunter builds with invisibility are unparalleled.

  • Weapons: Void-damage weapons can synergize with certain fragments and aspects. Weapons with perks like Repulsor Brace (grants an overshield on Void weapon kill) are excellent.
  • Armor Mods: Mods that generate Orbs of Power are crucial for maintaining Devour. Mods that enhance grenade or melee regeneration are also beneficial.

Key Takeaways

  • Void excels at suppression, invisibility, and damage over time.
  • Devour is a powerful survivability buff for Void builds.
  • Choose Aspects and Fragments that complement your playstyle.
  • Void subclasses are versatile and effective in all game modes.
