Destiny 2’s new ability pulls at the strings of reality

In Destiny 2, it’s only a little over 2 weeks until the Guardians will don their new Strang garb. Among other changes, the new subclass is by far the most important feature of the Lightfall extension. We will therefore show you an overview of all aspects, fragments and grenades in advance. So you can start thinking about builds now.

What is strand? The Strand ability is the newest subclass in the loot-shooter Destiny 2. It will be released with the upcoming Lightfall DLC on February 28th, 2023 and will give every class, i.e. Titan, Warlock and Hunter, new ways to defeat opponents and move around.

Creating an object with a strand is called “weaving” and killing enemies is “unraveling” them. Dead enemies also leave a “tangle” usable by Guardians.

The strand class descriptions sum up the new ability:

  • Titanium:
  • Untamed and ferocious, the titans in Lightfall selflessly embrace danger, displaying their verdant talons to tear targets from the fabric of reality. With them, every opponent should think twice about crossing the line that has been drawn.
  • Warlock:
  • Warlocks in Lightfall are telekinetic sorcerers who manipulate the new strand-weave, even forming deadly “strand aphids” that do their bidding.
  • Hunter:
  • In Lightfall, the hunters are masters of deadly grace. The new skyscraper city of Neomuna becomes her airy movement playground. They use the strand weave to dance through enemy ranks unharmed and disintegrate enemies with the “strand lasso”.

    • In addition to the new ability itself, players will be able to customize Lightfall Strand primarily through aspects and fragments. They will continue to improve the usefulness of Strang. There will also be so-called “Shared Abilities” and new grenades.

    MeinMMO gives you a quick skill overview for all 3 strand classes in this article. First of all, this trailer gives you a good, brief insight into what Strang looks like in the game.

    Titan – Berserker and Shredder of All

    What can the Titan with strand do? Instead of using fists, Titans in Lightfall from Strang will use their fists to fashion imposing blades to shred the enemy’s ranks.

    Special advantage: While it seems Titans are just “thrashing about” again in Lightfall, Bungie emphasized that the class should still feel fresh for all veteran Titans. So wrap yourself in the fabric of reality and go berserk.

    These are the Titan’s strand abilities:

    Blade FrenzyThe Titan’s Super weaves powerful claws and charges the battlefield with new Light and Heavy Attacks.Ecstatic BladeWith this melee ability, you attack targets and slash them with blades of finely honed strand.

    Titans are having a bit of an identity crisis right now. But hopefully that will pass quickly, because actually it’s fun to be a titan:

    Warlock – Scionweaver and “String Aphid” Minion Master

    What can the warlock with strand do? Warlocks will be able to shape things out of strands in Lightfall. With the new Lightfall subclass, their own powerful “strand aphid” army is created, which attacks enemies or, when there is nothing to do, hangs out with you.

    Special advantage: Although the three other classes can also use the “threads”, as they are officially known, the Scionweaver is still the minion master of this new and enemy-eating species.

    These are the warlock’s strand abilities:

    Needle ThunderstormThe Warlock’s Super weaves a cloud of strand to create a shower of piercing projectiles that detonate on impact.Arcane NeedleThrow a skein needle that will track your target and disintegrate it. Attack your targets, slashing them with blades of finely honed strand.

    Warlock’s String Abilities

    If you don’t know what the term “aspect” means, here is the explanation:

    What are aspects in Destiny 2? Aspects drastically change how your Warden plays and are designed specifically for your subclasses. You can put them in the slots of your build and they will either change existing skills or add a whole new skill to your arsenal.

    Bungie will continue to expand the options for Strang throughout the Seasons of the Lightfall expansion, giving players even more options for Strang as Seasons progress.

    Aspects the Strang warlock can use:

    reputation of the weaverWhen you use a rift, you create three threads on the ground near you.command of thoughtsEnhance your grenades with additional Scionweaver-specific properties.

    Hunter – Threadwalker and superhero acrobat

    What can the hunter with a rope do? While all three classes will use the new “Hangel” ability, the Hunter is still a master of the rope-airs. His movement looks the best of all three classes, and he’s not just swinging his rope grapple lasso at enemies. He is also adept at using it for locomotion.

    Special Hunter Perk: The hunter will be the only class that is a trailblazer for their teammates at high altitudes through the Widow’s Silk strand aspect. When his team latches on to grapple points he creates, it doesn’t cost them any grapple energy. This allows a squad to cover huge distances together. If you can coordinate this together.

    These are the hunter’s strand abilities:

    Silk PrankThe Hunter Super combines a grappling hook with a rope dart to take over the battlefield and deftly take out your targets.thread laceThrow a rope dart that damages targets, ricochets and refunds melee energy.

    Warlock’s String Abilities

    Aspects that the strand hunter can use:

    Captivating impactAttack your targets by lunging at them from above, smashing them to the ground, and binding them on impact.widow’s silkSuspend more often and generate shimmy points that you and your fireteam can use indefinitely.

    Strand Aspects of the Warlock

    This gives you a complete overview of all of Strang’s skills in Season 20 for the respective classes. But there is also more to discover.

    String grenades and fragments of all classes

    For each class that draws power from the weave and is lured into darkness by the promised strength, there are also shared abilities in the form of cord grenades and fragments.

    Binding Grenades and Fragments will also come with a strand

    What grenades does Strang offer? With Strang, players will be able to use new grenade types in Destiny 3. Including shimmying, which can be controlled with the grenade button.

  • thread grenade
  • Splits into three projectiles that become threads on impact.
  • Shackle Grenade
  • A type of bola that, when it explodes, sends out a binding wave and unleashes more small bolas to bind nearby enemies.
  • swinging
  • The third option is for players to press their grenade button and weave a hook out of strand matter. This allows them to hook onto an anchor point, allowing them to pull through the air even when there is no solid surface to hold on to. Meanwhile, or at the end, Wardens can also perform melee attacks (called “Hangel Melee”) that deal bonus damage, disintegrate enemies, and push them away.

    • In addition to the three grenade options, there are 4 elementary strand fragments:

  • thread of ascent: Activating your Grenade ability reloads your equipped weapons, increasing airborne effectiveness and weapon handling for a short time.
  • thread of anger: When you damage targets with a tangle, you gain melee energy.
  • thread of finality: Finishers create threads.
  • thread of defense: Picking up an Orb of Power grants Braided Armor.

    • These are all the new abilities that await you in Lightfall with Strang. From grubs that seek out enemies to bombastic Supers to innovative new ways of locomotion. So feel free to tell us in the comments which power appeals to you the most. And if you’re currently considering switching classes for Lightfall, please let us know why.

    By the way, this Monday there will be more announcements from the game director, Joe Blackburn, personally, as he himself revealed on Twitter.
