Gameplay Loop

The main focus of the Getaway Artist Prismatic Warlock is to keep your summons—Arc Soul, Bleak Watcher, and Hellion—active at all times. Prioritize Discipline and Recovery on your armor to reduce cooldowns for Storm Grenade and Phoenix Dive. The recommended armor mods and subclass fragments further reduce cooldowns and increase uptime of your summons.

Ability Breakdown

Super

• Song of Flame
  • This Super makes you Radiant, grants 90% damage resistance, and enables your Solar and Kinetic weapons to Scorch targets. Casting Song of Flame replaces your grenade and melee with supercharged Solar versions of these abilities. Use it to clear ads, damage the boss, or just stay alive!

Abilities

• Phoenix Dive - Jump in the air and activate your class ability. You and surrounding allies gain two stacks of Cure.
• Burst Glide - Your choice of jump ability is up to you, but the example setup uses Burst Glide.
• Arcane Needle - This melee ability gives you three charges and applies Unravel to enemy targets. It also counts as a Darkness Debuff for Facet of Courage.
• Storm Grenade - Getaway Artist requires consuming an Arc grenade ability and Storm Grenade is the only Arc grenade available to Prismatic Warlocks.

Aspects

• Bleak Watcher - Charge your Storm Grenade to convert it into a sentient Stasis turret, firing projectiles that apply Slow on impact. If enough of these projectiles land, the target is Frozen. Excellent for stunning Champions and providing a Darkness debuff.
• Hellion - Activate your Phoenix Dive to summon a Solar mortar that Scorches targets.

Fragments

• Facet of Dominance - Your Storm Grenade has a short enough cooldown to be used occasionally instead of consuming it for an Arc Soul, allowing you to Jolt targets. The Void aspect of your Prismatic Warlock grenade, Freezing Singularity, now Weakens targets when using this Fragment.
• Facet of Purpose - Collecting an Orb of Power grants you Restoration, providing continuous health regeneration. Casting Phoenix Dive collects nearby Orbs of Power through Powerful Attraction.
• Facet of Ruin - This build Freezes and applies Scorch, leading to Ignitions, so you can take full advantage of this fragment.
• Facet of Command - The Bleak Watcher turret fires slowing projectiles at nearby targets until they Freeze. When you Freeze targets, this Aspect reloads your equipped weapons and generates Stasis Shards.
• Facet of Grace - Defeating enemies with Microcosm, or other Kinetic weapons, grants bonus Transcendence energy.
• Facet of Courage - This fragment is essential for this Getaway Artist Warlock Build. Both Arc Soul and Hellion Solar Mortar deal increased damage to targets affected by Unravel, triggered by your Arcane Needle.

Gearing

Required Gear

Getaway Artist - Consume your Storm Grenade to create an Arc Soul and become Amplified. While Prismatic is equipped with the Bleak Watcher aspect, this also creates a sentient Stasis turret alongside your Arc summon.

How to acquire:

• Purchase from Xur if available.
• Decrypting exotic engrams at Rahool.
• Complete the Vex Strike Force Public Event on Neomuna.

Stat Priorities

• Resilience > Recovery > Discipline
• In PvE, Resilience is the most crucial stat to focus on. Aim for 100 Resilience to maximize your damage resistance and shield capacity, ensuring better survivability in challenging encounters.
• Recovery governs the cooldown on the Warlocks class ability and decreases the time it takes to regenerate your health and shields.
• Discipline decreases the cooldown on your grenade ability, allowing it to charge faster.

Armor Mods

• Optional Mods:
  • On your Chest, replace Harmonic Resistance with the appropriate resistance for the activity.
  • On your Legs, replace Orbs of Restoration with Invigoration for more melee cooldown, instead of all ability cooldown at a cheaper mod cost.
  • On your Class Item, replace Distribution with Outreach for more melee cooldown, instead of all ability cooldown at a cheaper mod cost.

Artifact Perks

• Dielectric
  • Defeating targets afflicted by Jolt or Blind grants you Bolt Charge.
• Disruptor Spike
  • Increases the potency of your Sever and Exhaustion debuffs, further lowering enemy damage (Overloading effects Exhaust enemies, lowering their damage).
• Dreadful Finisher
  • Finishing powerful combatants creates Special Ammo for you and your fireteam. More Ammo is generated when Finishing Subjugators, Tormentors, and Champions.
• Horde Shuttle
  • Unraveled enemies occasionally release Threadlings when they take Weapon damage.
• Elemental Supercharger
  • Defeating Severed and Exhausted enemies with an Elemental Weapon with the same affinity as your equipped Super Ability grants you additional Super Energy (Overloading effects Exhaust enemies, lowering their damage).
• Defibrillating Blast
  • Stunning a Champion immediately grants and readies Bolt Charge while triggering an Arcbolt which Jolts enemies and partially heals you.

Recommended Weapons

Kinetic Weapon: The Mountaintop - This special grenade launcher packs a punch and can help clear ads while reducing your grenade cooldown with Demolitionist. Acquire The Mountaintop from Onslaught in the Vanguard playlist.

Energy Weapon: No Hesitation - A versatile support Weapon very capable of suiting your Primary Ammo Weapon needs with a synergistic Origin Trait. This Pale Heart Weapon is Craftable. Though, any Solar Primary Ammo Weapon will work instead if you wish.

Power Weapon: Microcosm - The new Trace Rifle from The Final Shape is the first Kinetic Heavy Weapon and complements this Getaway Artist Warlock Build perfectly. Acquire Microcosm from Convalescence Quest after completing The Final Shape campaign.

Variants

Summary

In The Final Shape, the Prismatic subclass has highlighted Getaway Artist as a standout among both new and old Warlock Exotics. Dust these gloves off and create an army of turrets, Freezing enemies with the icy power of Stasis and vaporizing them with Arc Light. Call forth your Hellion to Scorch the battlefield and Ignite adversaries!
