The video comprehensively explores optimal Hunter builds for endgame PVE content in Destiny, with a particular emphasis on the Nightstalker subclass and various Hunter Exotics. Highlighted builds include one focused on raw damage effective in Grandmaster Nightfalls, and another leveraging versatile Exotics like Orpheus Rigs to provide significant team utility. The Nightstalker subclass is praised for its survivability and crowd control, with abilities such as invisibility and weakening/suppressing enemies.

The video emphasizes specific armor mods and fragments, such as heavy ammo finders and harmonic siphon, to maximize damage output.
Further tactical depth is provided with a build centered around increasing class ability and grenade energy through "heavy drops" and artifact perks like "kindling trigger" and "Flint Striker," which synergize well with Celestial Nighthawk. Finally, weapons like Malfeasance and Warden's Law are recommended for their high damage potential and synergy with certain builds, bolstered by armor mods that enhance heavy ammo efficiency.

In this segment of the video, the focus shifts to Hunter builds, specifically highlighting those beneficial for endgame PVE content. A new series on top Warlock builds was previously introduced; now attention is on Hunters. Three key builds are discussed: a raw damage build capable of one-shotting champions in Grandmaster Nightfalls, and a versatile exotic build useful across any Hunter subclass providing substantial advantages to a fire team. The Nightstalker subclass is highlighted for its survivability and utility, such as weakening and suppressing enemies, providing invisibility for the team, crowd control, and generating orbs of power. Multiple Exotics are mentioned, but the standout is the Orpheus Rigs, which has experienced a resurgence due to its ability to regenerate super energy and other abilities massively. The Orpheus Rigs, when combined with specific team strategies like Well of Radiance, can enable significant super chaining and utility in challenging content.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a build strategy for Nightstalker in a game, focusing on utilizing smoke for invisibility when dodging near enemies. This provides a secondary source of on-demand invisibility and the ability to suppress nearby ads. The build includes using a vortex grenade for high damage and area control.
The build relies on two aspects: Vanishing Step, which grants invisibility when dodging, and Trapper’s Ambush, which provides a melee ability for quickfall, turning the user and allies invisible. These aspects allow players to remain invisible for extended periods, aiding in challenging scenarios.
Echo of Undermining is highlighted for adding a weakening effect to void grenades, enhancing damage output. Echo of Starvation grants Devour with orb pickups, offering health regeneration and grenade energy on kills. Echo of Persistence extends invisibility and devour durations, while Echo of Obscurity provides invisibility upon finishers.
This setup allows flexibility without relying on specific armor mods, focusing instead on ammo finders and scavengers. Suggested stat priorities include maximum resilience for damage resistance and mobility to reduce Dodge cooldowns. This build aims for control and evasiveness, ideal for challenging encounters like Grand Masters.

In this part of the video, the focus is on endgame builds in Destiny’s Season of The Wish, particularly for Hunter Exotics in PVE. Key Hunter Exotics like Shards of Galanor, Aeon Swift, and Celestial Nighthawk are discussed, with an emphasis on Celestial Nighthawk. Its exotic perk significantly buffs the Golden Gun super, offering a 650% damage increase to the initial shot and a 33% super energy refund upon target elimination. The Marksman variant of Golden Gun is recommended, as it deals critical damage. Key abilities include Gambler’s Dodge, Knife Trick melee, and Healing Grenade to enhance survivability. Aspects and fragments like Ember of Torches and Ember of Imperion provide additional perks, although fragments are highlighted as more crucial for the build’s effectiveness. The video also details important armor mods such as heavy ammo finders, harmonic siphon, kinetic surge, and solar surge to maximize heavy ammo and damage output.

In this part of the video, the speaker dives into a specific build for Destiny, focusing on enhancing combat effectiveness. Key elements include using “heavy drops” with “focusing strike” and “impact induction” to gain class ability and grenade energy, and “Powerful attraction” for orb collection during a dodge. Essential artifact perks like “kindling trigger” apply Scorch Stacks to enemies, boosting class ability regeneration, while “Flint Striker” provides Radiance on solar weapon precision hits, synergizing with Celestial Nighthawk.
The build is highly effective against bosses, offers great survivability, and excels in ad clearing by leveraging powerful exotics. It utilizes the “Lucky Pants” exotic paired with a hand cannon, granting a significant damage bonus up to 600% with a loaded hand cannon. Recommended hand cannons include the Malfeasance, which excels against taken enemies with its vorpal weapon Catalyst and significant base damage, and Warden’s Law, known for its rapid damage buildup and effectiveness against non-taken enemies. The build’s main appeal is its versatility, allowing customization based on player preference and situation.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the effectiveness of the weapon Malfant for endgame content, highlighting its intrinsic synergy with elements like explosions and pairing it with options such as Forbearance and Spark of Beacons for additional effects like blinding enemies. The Malfant can significantly damage bosses, and using Warden’s Law frees up the exotic slot for other versatile choices. Key armor mods mentioned include heavy ammo finders, kinetic siphon, kinetic surges for extra damage, and scavenger mods to maximize heavy ammo efficiency. The emphasis is on weapon-based gameplay, recommending the use of loaders for a smoother combat experience.
