Voidwalkers can deal massive AoE damage from a range with a Nova Bomb. They can do more AoE damage with their grenades and Axion Bolts. Additionally, Energy Drain, Voidwalker's melee attack, can buff itself and reduce cooldowns of its other abilities.
Sunsinger's super, Radiance, buffs itself and its allies both offensively and defensively. With the Fireborn perk, Sunsinger can even come back from the dead. Sunsinger can also deal solar and burn DoT damage with its grenades and scorch. Additionally Sunsingers can spawn Orbs of Light for their allies.
