Birdman's video offers a detailed guide for constructing an effective Warlock build in "Destiny 2" tailored for free-to-play players and optimized for endgame content. The core of the build revolves around the Crown of Tempests exotic helmet, accessible via an Arc quest from Ikora Rey. This exotic enhances Arc ability recharge and prolongs the Stormtrance Super duration, integral to the Stormcaller subclass. The build emphasizes staying Amplified through Electrostatic Mind and boosting Arc damage with Arc Soul, while utilizing Healing Rift, Ball Lightning, and Pulse Grenade for health recovery, charged melee, and area-of-effect damage respectively.
Key fragments such as Spark of Discharge, Spark of Shock, Spark of Ions, and Spark of Magnitude enhance Ionic Traces generation, target jolting, and grenade duration. The Coldheart Trace Rifle is recommended for its Arc laser and high boss damage, generating Ionic Traces for constant Amplification. Another focus is on weapon and armor perks like Osmosis, Ashes to Assets, Harmonic Siphon, and Grenade Kickstart to enhance elemental flexibility, super recharges, Orb of Power creation, and faster grenade recovery.
Armor mods include "double charged up" for multiple armor charges, "harmonic resistance," "recuperation," and "stacks on stacks" for health and armor charge optimization. Additionally, "double distribution" and "powerful attraction" aid in cooldown reduction and orb collection. Artifact mods like "Elemental Orb Arc," "Elemental Fury," and "monochromatic maestro" further boost ability energy recovery, Champion damage, and weapon power. Birdman concludes by inviting viewers to share their own setups and teasers content for Season 23.

In this segment of the video, Birdman introduces a strong Warlock build for “Destiny 2” that can be utilized in endgame content without needing any game expansions. He emphasizes the build’s accessibility for free-to-play players. The key exotic for this setup is the Crown of Tempests, obtainable through an Arc quest from Ikora Rey.

Birdman advises using the Healing Rift for health recovery, Ball Lightning for charged melee, and Pulse Grenade for area-of-effect damage. Essential aspects include Electrostatic Mind for generating Ionic Traces to stay Amplified, and Arc Soul for additional Arc damage.

In this part of the video, the focus is on an in-depth guide for optimizing a Warlock’s Arc build in the game. The video discusses the benefits of having allies nearby to charge Rifts faster and the enhanced damage output of supercharged Arc Souls when Amplified. Key fragments recommended include Spark of Discharge, Spark of Shock, Spark of Ions, and Spark of Magnitude, each enhancing different aspects like creating Ionic Traces, jolting targets, and extending grenade duration.
For weapons, the Coldheart Trace Rifle is highlighted for its steady Arc laser and high damage output, making it ideal for boss fights. The weapon also periodically generates Ionic Traces, aiding in maintaining Amplification. Additionally, the video mentions the Exotic weapon’s Catalyst but notes it isn’t necessary as it only boosts stats.
The video also briefly touches on weapon perks, recommending Osmosis for flexibility in elemental damage. For mods, it suggests using Ashes to Assets on the helmet for faster super ability recharge, Harmonic Siphon for creating Orbs of Power with Arc weapon blows, and Grenade Kickstart on gloves to recharge grenades quicker. The use of Momentum Transfer is also recommended to reduce melee cooldown when dealing grenade damage.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides detailed recommendations for optimizing gear and mod selections. They suggest going “double charged up” to get multiple armor charges, using “harmonic resistance” for an additional mod slot, and “recuperation” to regain health when collecting an orb of power. They also recommend “stacks on stacks” for more armor charges from orbs and ionic traces, supported by “elemental charge” to convert ionic traces into armor charges. For the Warlock bond, “double distribution” is suggested to reduce cooldowns and “powerful attraction” to gather orbs of power. The speaker also advises using the “Elemental Orb Arc” artifact to enhance ability energy recovery and damage against Champions with “Elemental Fury” and “monochromatic maestro” for weapon damage boosts. Finally, they suggest “Elemental Munitions” to increase chances of dropping special and heavy ammo. The video concludes with the speaker inviting viewers to share their setup requests and to stay tuned for upcoming content, particularly for Season 23.
