Voidwalker Builds

PvE Builds

1. Nova Bomb Build: Obsidian Mind, Scatter Grenade, Blink, Shatter, Soul Rip, Arcane Force, Annihilate, Chaos Order and Bloom.

  • This build allows the player to spam Nova Bomb for massive damage. You wanna drop the Nova Bomb onto the largest groups of enemies. The build requires the Obsidian Mind Exotic Helmet. It gives you 10% Super charge for every enemy killed. Bad Juju is the ideal weapon for this build for its Super cooldown reduction on kills.

2. Energy Drain and Grenade Build: Scatter Grenade, Blink, Shatter, Surge/Life Steal/Soul Rip, Arcane Force, The Hunger, Chaos Order and Embrace the Void.

  • This is a well-rounded build suitable for various purposes. Fight at mid range, throw grenade whenever possible to activate Energy Drain. Use Energy Drain to reduce the cooldown of your grenade. Use Nova Bomb on a large group of enemy whenever it is up. Note that Energy Drain buff/effects do not stack nor refresh. Stagger your Grenade, Energy Drain and Nova Bomb at about 8 seconds (the duration of an Energy Drain buff/effect).
