The video primarily explores various melee-focused builds in Destiny 2, emphasizing the optimization of super energy generation and damage output. Maven introduces a potent build based on the Insurmountable Skullfort exotic helmet, which leverages the Arc melee for rapid super regeneration and health benefits. Key mods applied include double Hands-On, Dynamo, Heavy-Handed, and Spark of Amplitude, enhancing super energy production and orb generation. The discussion contrasts different melee abilities like Thunderclap, Seismic Strike, Ballistic Slam, and base punches with the Knockout perk, analyzing their efficiency in super energy generation and damage output. Ballistic Slam is noted for its superior super energy generation despite lower damage, while Thunderclap is favored in tougher content. The video also touches on the synergies of various mods to enhance grenade and class ability efficiency and highlights the use of specific weapons and stats to optimize the build further. For most content, Ballistic Slam is recommended, but for more challenging activities, Thunderclap's quick activation is preferable. The build is deemed less suitable for master-level content but highly effective for generating supers in raids, dungeons, and strikes.

In this part of the video, Maven discusses a new 10-second Super build utilizing the Insurmountable Skullfort in Destiny 2. Maven explains that this build focuses on fully refunding the Arc melee charge upon getting a final blow and triggering health regeneration, leveraging several mods like double Hands-On, Dynamo, Heavy-Handed, and Spark of Amplitude to generate Super energy and orbs of power. The build is optimized further with the Thruster ability and the Powerful Attraction mod to quickly gather orbs. Maven notes that while the intro clip shows achieving the Super in about seven seconds, in more typical scenarios, it takes around 20-30 seconds, which is still highly efficient. Maven prefers Ballistic Slam over other melee abilities because it inexplicably generates more Super energy.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses their melee-focused Titan build, highlighting the use of specific weapons such as Tractor Cannon and a one-two punch shotgun. They emphasize that since the build centers on melee attacks, surges are less relevant, and running double special weapons is recommended to avoid ammo issues. The build optimizes 100 resilience and tier 7 intellect to maximize super regeneration without hitting diminishing returns. For most content like raids, dungeons, and strikes, Ballistic Slam is advised, but for harder activities, Thunderclap may be necessary. The creator advises against using this build in master-level content due to its design for generating supers in easier scenarios.
