Class and Subclass Overview

The masters of stealth and marksmanship, Hunters are weapons experts and the most mobile of the 3 classes. Their abilities often emphasize precision and accuracy. You perform acrobatic maneuvers, execute triple jumps, and quickly traverse terrain. These scouts are also adept in exploration and infiltration missions, with invisibility capabilities and great evasive techniques! Every class has a class item, and for the Hunters it's a cloak. They have a rugged, utilitarian look to them. This class is a great shot and feared by many in this solar system!

Titans are strong, resilient, and able to withstand a whole lot of damage. They also have defensive capabilities like barriers and overshields that make them even more resolute. They excel in close-quarters combat using brute strength to overcome foes with powerful melee attacks and shotguns. As a Titan, your class-specific item is a mark, a piece of fabric attached to your utility belt. This class has a militaristic, bulky, armored look that matches their resilience. Their unwavering strength makes them daunting in any situation!

Warlocks are the weavers of arcane magic and use their powerful abilities with ease. With a deep understanding of the Traveler’s Light, a Warlock skillfully harnesses this energy. The Warlock class item is the bond, found around their left arm. This bond is a conduit for the Warlock's powers while preventing them from being consumed by that power. They are highly valued for their mastery of the Traveler’s Light and tireless efforts to gain knowledge.

The Solar subclass embodies the cycle of life and the constant renewal of energy, showcasing resilience and perseverance. Enjoy self-healing with Healing Grenades, or Scorch your enemies until they Ignite. Don't forget to pick up Firesprites to recharge your grenade energy! With this subclass you are also able to Cure yourself and your fireteam.

On a lighter note, and more simply put - EXPLOSIONS GO BOOM.

Energy, speed, and electricity. Any Guardian who uses this subclass brings down the storm like Thor. Guardians who wield the power of Arc are highly mobile and unpredictable, capable of unleashing devastating lightning-based attacks on combatants. They can Blind and Jolt their foes! Pick up Ionic Traces to grant grenade, class ability, and melee energy. This subclass is particularly effective against groups of combatants, with its crowd control and area-of-effect abilities. Luckily, Arc is similar on all three classes, with the only real difference being the Super ability used. Feel the power of Odin’s son course through your fingertips!

The ultimate element of cosmic distortion. Emptiness is not nothingness, the Void has taught us. According to Ikora, "to use Void is to draw power from both the immeasurably small and the unfathomably massive, and with it we bend the very fabric of space-time." Guardians using Void are masters of Weakening and Suppressing enemy forces, capable of unleashing devastating Volatile attacks while also providing defensive Overshields to their fireteam. This subclass is effective with any class against powerful singular enemies as well as groups of less powerful combatants.

According to Osiris, "Stasis is the element of will and control. It slows, detains, and shatters. It was our first step into Darkness, and taught us that the universe is not as black and white as it first seemed." This subclass ends movement on an atomic level. Guardians using Stasis are capable of Freezing and sShattering their enemies, creating hazardous areas of ice and crystals that can Slow and Freeze foes. Stasis is particularly effective for crowd control and area denial, allowing Guardians to manipulate the battlefield and create opportunities for their fireteam.

This subclass manifests from the Darkness, but in a very different way from Stasis. With Strand, Guardians manipulate the Weave, which is a paracausal matrix of psychic energy that connects all things and minds in the universe. Pierce shields and permeate targets with Unravel, and turn downed combatants into a Tangle. Throw or shoot those Tangles to deal damage. Suspend your enemies with Shackle Grenades, or use your Threadling Grenade to emit a burst of Threadlings that will seek out and damage enemies. Thread of Warding allows you to pick up an orb to grant yourself Woven Mail. This subclass shows your true control over power, knowing when to let go of that power, and the embracing of what is and what is not. 

This power is the wielding of Light and Darkness at the same time, with combinations that were never possible before. Prismatic takes build crafting to the next level, as you are able to blend a plethora of aspects, abilities, and fragments together from different subclasses to launch your attack on the Witness and disrupt their plans for the fate of the universe.
