      and the lore tab says that it eats our light, it converts our light.

    Don't forget.. The orb you use, when you guard it heals you when you block projectiles in pve not pvp from what I've seen while playing with it. This gun is amazing and that orb damage is pretty good for add clear and warring down majors. It is also really good if you want to go in there and get your team mates who are down provides cover for you and your team too...the list goes on lol

    Slight note on the Exotic Synergy aspect of the Spheres. Some aspects of 'melee' exotics actually do work with them. Stronghold's Heal on guard actually works with the Sphere's Guard, however trying this out myself ive learned the Guard on the Spheres is very delayed compared to a Sword as well as some funky stuff arising where sometimes ill Heal to 100% and then be one tapped by the immediate next shot.

  • @vegasboi354
    @vegasboi354 4 года назад

    For clarity: guardians can have 1 character buff, 1 character debuff, and 1 weapon buff at a time; the highest buff / debuff will always override competing buffs / debuffs. Ruinious’s buff from the catalyst works as a weapon buff rather than divinity causing a target to be debuffed. A similar occurrence appears with the charged with light mods; high energy fire and surprise attack mods can stack together for greater increase to damage. High energy fire is a character buff and surprise attack is a side arm weapon buff

    • @vegasboi354
      @vegasboi354 4 года назад

      HOWEVER- surprise attack is likely bugged, considering it also stacks with perks like swash n multi kill clip (when the stars align you can get a 360% increase to side arms damage)

    As a heads up, if the orb RMB does 300, it can take out some supers. It will 1hko any super except a Nova Bomb user wearing Skull of Dire Ahamkara and bottom tree Arcstrirder who is mid-dodge if the opponent has 0 resistance, any except those and invisible Spectral Blades at 1; Hammer of Sol and Dawnblade up to 3 resistance; Blade Barrage, Thundercrash, Nova Warp and Nova Bomb up to either 5, and can kill Chaos Reach (and obviously Golden Gun) at any resistance value.

    Ruinous Effigy's damage buff is actually part of the buff/debuff system, it's not an exception. You get 1 weapon buff (stuff like kill clip, rampage), 1 outside buff (weapons of light), and 1 debuff. Works on any weapon with a damage buff perk on them.

    So....
    Bottom tree Striker's Knockout perk works with the melee of the Transfiguration Sphere.
    So if you proc Knockout, it gains 60% bonus damage.

    It’s fine. Masterworked and already in the vault for whenever I do the prophecy dungeon and then I will use it as needed. I am assuming that it is like most weapons in the game, they have a purpose, but unless it’s required, I’ve already got the 5 weapons I use for everything already.

    Slamming that orb reminds me of the good old fun days of crown-splitter. Also, if rift does return... HALLELUJAH!!!!! Gimme that rock!!

    Divinity not being mentioned in the PVP traces, despite being currently the best PVP trace, is heartbreaking

  • @foooxxxiii7473
    @foooxxxiii7473 4 года назад

    Honestly I think its probably gonna be the new best weapon in the game cause the orbs can be picked up by teammates and can crowd control with them then it can do single target damage too and since it's gonna be making orbs it will have good ammo economy too so that's what I think

    Does Felwinter's Helm Debuff stack with Ruinous Effigys Buff/Debuff?
    I noticed that these two work well together.
    Proc the F.H. Debuff then use R.E. to get the orb. *(a light tap of the trigger will kill)* Grab orb. Block.
    Edit: If you use R.E. on a group but target the highest leveled enemy first, getting them to critical health and using a Finisher or Melee, then the stronger the enemy defeated via melee or finisher, the stronger the Debuff/Blind, followed by R.E. Orb Block.
    Paying close attention and being careful, you can basically do this cycle until the area is cleared.
    Combined with the combination of Devourer and Healing Rifts to extend duration and durability.
    Just stay mindful of your situation regarding health, openings for chaining, and positioning.
    Makes for a wonderful time in Mobs.
    Thank you Aztec for the video. Really inspired me to create what is currently *IMO* the best voidwalker class to date.
    Can't go wrong with Healing Blinding Debuff (R.E. 30% F.H. 20%) AOE combination.
    R.E. has a damage falloff at 20m hence why it is important to be mindful of positioning. Dont want to be too far away and not deal damage.
    Anywhere between 12m and 18m is the sweet spot.
    Bosses do their slam when you are 10m and closer.

    man this is nova warp - the trace rifle
    it is void, the slam is around the same range as nova warp explosion, the kill feed has the same icon as handheld, you can use it to block a shotguner because you get 50% resistance (contraverse only gave 40% before nerf) and it might let you survive a shotgun melee combo
    if I would try to use it I would do it this way: block at corner when shotgun ape pushes, get 4-5 tick damage on the guy while I get shotgun meleed and just do a light attack and then look for a new victim
    (I don't know if it will work but if someone feel like just try it)

    Awesome to see myself in the video in that beginning crucible gameplay, I was like is that Aztecross?

    I really love how much bang for your buck this weapon is with it's ammo consumption. Turning enemies into weapons that also have their own ammo really extends it's usefulness in drawn out fights.

    There should be a command that allows you to throw the orb in an arc. Would work better for the exotic perk.

    A couple of things not mentioned: guarding with the orb completely negates boss melees (no damage or knockback) and the trace rifle itself inflicts little-to-no flinch on enemies

    @Cortanis001 4 года назад

    This gun is worth it if only for the hilarious factor. If you produce three orbs and everyone grabs one, you can literally dunk on the bosses in the game and obliterate large portions of their health. You can one off most yellow bars and even take out healthy chunks of champions. The dunk even staggers most non bosses which allows you to immediately move into sword strikes.

    The best thing you said about this, was the fact it can be buffed and de buffed. Maybe Bungie is going back to the old way with buffs with all new weapons. Maybe sunsetting won't be that bad?

    This gun needed to be right when it came out. It has a higher chance of being op more than any other gun. Saves ammo by giving you another weapon that can do serious damage. So far it's been really fun to use, well done bungie.
