Overview
Warlocks boast the highest recovery of Destiny's class triad, sacrificing resilience and agility for the ability to regenerate health with tremendous alacrity.
Much like its Titan and Hunter brethren, the Warlock class is divided into six subclasses at present; each specialization offers unique abilities and alters the manner in which the class is played. Shared among the subclasses is the Rift class ability; this technique is further divided into Healing Rift and Empowering Rift, each allowing players to buff allies with increased health regeneration and damage output.
Subclasses
Unlock conditions
- Voidwalker is the first available subclass for New Light players.
- Dawnblade has to be unlocked by completing the Stoking The Flame quest.
- Stormcaller has to be unlocked by completing the Riding the Storm quest.
- Shadebinder has to be unlocked by completing the Beyond Light campaign.
- Broodweaver can be unlocked by completing the Lightfall campaign.
- Prismatic Warlock can be unlock by completing the Transmigration mission of The Final Shape campaign.
Prior to Shadowkeep, where all subclasses were always available, Warlock subclasses had to be unlocked in a different way:
- Dawnblade was automatically unlocked during the Red War story mission Spark.
- Voidwalker was unlocked at level 8+ by obtaining the Warped Armlet Class Relic and charging it by completing various activities.
- Stormcaller was unlocked at level 15+ by obtaining the Cracked Talisman Class Relic and charging it by completing various activities.
Notes
- Warlock is the only class which had its melee attack altered due to the loss of Light in the Red War campaign. From the beginning of Adieu to near the end of Spark missions, Warlocks used the Punch instead of the Palm.
- Since player characters did not lose their abilities during that story in Shadowkeep, Warlocks kept their Palm attack in those missions.
- In the Destiny 2 Beta the Warlock melee range was greater than that of a Titan or a Hunter, with slower melee speed to compensate. When the game launched, however, the range had been nerfed to be the same as the other classes; but the speed was never brought up to other class melee speed.
- The Palm's range was increased in Season of the Worthy.
