This mod gives you an extra stack of Charged with Light for every stack of Charged with Light. The only downside to this mod is that it can only slot into a Class Item and costs 6 energy.Īnother Dawn mod that isn't 100% necessary but will give you some breathing room with generating Orbs of Light is ‘Stacks on Stacks’. While this mod is not essential for the build to work who can say no to an extra 30% damage? Oppressive Darkness is an Artifact mod that causes an enemy to take an extra 30% damage for a short time after it is damaged by a Void grenade. This increase in available stacks will essentially increase the uptime for the increased Sword damage and increase the overall DPS of the build.

This mod has a Solar affinity and costs 5 energy. This is an essential mod for this build.Īnother Season of Dawn armor mod that should be used is the mod ‘Supercharged’ which increases the maximum number of Charged with Light stacks from 3 to 5. Taking Charge has no elemental affinity or armor type so can be slotted into any piece of gear that can take a Season of Dawn mod. This can be easily combined with a Primary Masterworked weapon to make a constant supply of Orbs to keep the Stacks of Light at their maximum.

The fastest and easiest way to become Charge with Light is to use the Season of Dawn mod ‘Taking Charge’ which gives one stack of Charged with Light for every Orb of Light that is picked up. To activate it we first need to be Charged with Light which does require some more mods and a little bit of setup. This Lucent Blade mod gives a whopping 35% increase to Sword damage once it is activated. This mod also has a secondary effect where if another Arc mod is equipped onto the same armor item it greatly increases the charge rate of the equipped Sword. This mod has an Arc affinity and its description reads: “While Charged With Light, dealing damage with a Sword gives you bonus Sword damage for 5 seconds, consuming one stack of Charged with Light.”. This build heavily revolves around the new mod added in Season of Arrival named ‘Lucent Blade’ and the ‘Charged with Light’ mechanic that was introduced in Season of Dawn. This new build has raised this weapon to the top end of the DPS charts and created fun new ways to deal with Destiny 2’s toughest enemies. With the release of Season of Arrival, and its new Seasonal mods, one somewhat under-utilised Heavy weapon has gained some ways to significantly up its damage against Major and Boss enemies.
