Warlock is the magic-oriented class in Destiny. The Warlock is divided into 2 subclasses: Voidwalker and Sunsinger. Voidwalker is the damage dealing, solo-oriented subclass capable of dealing massive AoE damage to their enemies, while Sunsinger is the group-oriented subclass adept at supporting their allies. The Warlock class has slightly lower armor than Titan but more than Hunter. It also has the greatest recover of all 3 classes.

  • A Warlock starts off as Voidwalker, and unlocks Sunsinger at level 15. Note that once you unlock Sunsinger for one character, it will be unlocked for any new Warlock characters you make in the future.

"The universe bends to your will. Manipulate its energies to annihilate your foes."

Play Style

Voidwalker can deal massive AoE damage from range with Nova Bomb. It can do more AoE damage with its grenades and Axion Bolt. Additionally, Energy Drain, Voidwalker's meleee attack, can buff itself and reduces cooldowns of its other abilities.

Sunsinger's super, Radiance, buffs itself and its allies both offensively and defensively. With Fireborn upgrade, Sunsinger can even come back from the dead. Sunsinger can also deal solar and burn DoT damage with its grenades and scorch. Additionally Sunsinger can spawn Orbs of Light for its allies.
