The video provides an in-depth analysis of optimizing the Scorch mechanic in Destiny 2 to maximize damage output. Tizzle explains how to enhance Scorch—a solar effect causing damage over time and igniting at 100 stacks—using various weapons, abilities, and buffs. Key strategies involve using the Skyburner's Oath for consistent Scorch application and employing fragments such as Ember of Ashes to increase Scorch stacks. Detailed numerical analysis shows how different buffs, including the Radiant Buff, Weapon Surge Mods, Seasonal Artifact Buffs like Monochromatic Maestro and Rapid Fire Ranger, and the Warlock helmet Dawn Chorus, can amplify Scorch damage exponentially. The video highlights that stacking buffs in a particular order significantly boosts damage, with a combined multiplier reaching approximately 5.787x, resulting in damage outputs nearing 9601. Collaborative testing revealed that Scorch damage applies uniquely in team settings but additional Scorch stacks from teammates further enhance overall damage. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the potential for creating powerful Scorch builds and encourages viewers to experiment with the findings.

In this segment of the video, Tizzle explains how to enhance the damage dealt by Scorch in Destiny 2 beyond its base level. The structure involves starting with basic definitions and gradually showing how different elements stack to amplify damage, including a detailed look at numerical values. Scorch is described as a solar effect that deals damage over time, with increasing damage as more Scorch stacks are applied, leading to an ignition at 100 stacks.
For demonstration, Tizzle uses Skyburner’s Oath to apply Scorch due to its consistency, with hip firing granting five Scorch stacks base and ten with Ember of Ashes equipped. He outlines the damage increments and details how each bullet and ability, like Firebolt grenades and Celestial fire melee, contribute to stacking Scorch. Tizzle demonstrates the base Scorch’s damage progression, showing a detailed quantitative analysis of damage increases per stack, ultimately leading to significant damage amplification when approaching ignition.
Overall, this part clarifies the mechanics of Scorch stacking and its potential for high damage output in gameplay.

In this part of the video, the focus is on analyzing damage mechanics, particularly how Scorch damage functions in the game. Key points include a breakdown of how the Celestial Fire melee attack works, shooting three homing bolts that each cause 10 Scorch. Scorch ticks are detailed, showing how damage decreases over time. The importance of the Ember of Ashes fragment is emphasized, as it increases the amount of Scorch applied by 1.5 times, thereby enhancing overall damage output and duration. The video explains that Scorch damage decays over several ticks, and stacking Scorch higher results in more extended and higher damage ticks. It also notes that testing will continue with Ember of Ashes to maximize the Scorch damage benefits.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses optimizing a Scorch Centric build by utilizing various buffs to increase Scorch damage. Key points include the necessity of certain fragments and the impact of different buffs on Scorch damage:
1. **Radiant Buff**: Enhances weapon Scorch damage by 25%, increasing from 373 to 466.
2. **Weapon Surge Mods**: Providing incremental buffs with one mod giving a 10% increase (410 damage), two mods a 17% increase (436 damage), and three mods a 22% increase (455 damage).
3. **Seasonal Artifact Buffs**: Monochromatic Maestro offers a 10% damage boost, applicable to both weapon and grenade Scorch, while Rapid Fire Ranger provides a 15% weaken debuff.
4. **Exotic Modifications**: The Warlock helmet Dawn Chorus boosts Scorch damage by 200%, raising it from 373 to 1181.
The segment emphasizes the importance of stacking buffs in a specific order to maximize effects. It concludes with a comparison showing significantly higher damage outputs when combining these buffs correctly, particularly highlighting using Skyburners first before melee for optimal Scorch damage.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the cumulative damage buffs achieved by stacking various effects, including “dong chorus,” “radiant,” “solar weapon surge,” “Rapid Fire Ranger,” and “monochromatic Maestro.” Combined, these buffs provide a multiplier of approximately 5.787x to the base Skyburner damage, significantly increasing the total damage output. The speaker details the effects of hitting 1659 base damage by these multipliers, reaching close to 9601 damage.
Additionally, the interaction between different buffs and Scorch Stacks is explained, highlighting how initiating Scorch with a melee and then applying additional effects can continually proc buffs like monochromatic Maestro. The speaker also notes how Scorch Stacks can trigger radiant reapplication and enhance subsequent ignition damage. A concrete example demonstrates an increase from an ignition damage of 4699 to 7882, showing a 67.7% increase.
Moreover, the video outlines how Scorch stacks giving yellow numbers are registered as critical damage and can also trigger armor charges through semi-auto Striker. Finally, in a team setting, the speaker expresses gratitude for a teammate, “Z,” who assisted in applying Scorch to test further interactions, showcasing collaborative testing in the game.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their findings on how Scorch damage works in a fire team setting in Destiny 2. They discovered that Scorch damage only applies to the first person who applies it but noted that subsequent players can still apply Scorch stacks. The speaker tested this by having two players, including themselves, shoot the same target, which increased their Scorch damage ticks despite only one person initially applying the Scorch. They also found that using the Dawn Chorus exotic further enhanced the Scorch damage. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to use these findings to create powerful Scorch builds before the end of the current season and expresses gratitude to viewers for watching.
