How to read the board
Use the class chips to filter. S is the default endgame pick. A is an equal-power alt for a different fantasy.
Titan S is 
Prismatic 
Stoicism Consecration (Spirit of 
Synthoceps + Inmost Light) for GM Ops, Master raids, and all-round clear.
Warlock S is 
Getaway Artist double-turret (
Arc Soul + Bleak Watcher + Devour) for learning hard content and revive safety.
Hunter S is 
Celestial Nighthawk + 
Still Hunt, or Combination Blow, for boss checks and melee sustain.
The Monument of Triumph sandbox: stable, generous, ability-1st
Monument of Triumph (Update 9.7.0, June 9 2026) closed Destiny 2's major content run. Bungie called it the final major patch · maintenance hotfixes only after. 9.7.0.1 fixed a frozen-boss Golden Gun multiplier on Celestial Nighthawk. 9.7.0.3 and 9.7.0.4 are maintenance notes. They do not retune these 6 kits. Each class got a new aspect: Shieldburst (Sunbreaker), 
Crackshot (Gunslinger), 
Soul Siphon (Voidwalker). Exotic armor reworks (Skull of Dire Ahamkara, 
Hallowfire Heart, Helm of Saint-14, and more) revived mono-element kits so Prismatic is no longer the only serious answer.
The shape of hard content has not changed since The Edge of Fate: ability uptime and survivability beat raw weapon damage. Grandmaster-tier Fireteam Ops, Master raids, and solo dungeons reward loops that keep grenade, melee, and healing cycling while weapons fill gaps. 1 exotic still glues many loadouts: 
Praxic Blade (Renegades sword). For the wider weapon picture see our exotic weapons tier list.
How Buildcrafting Works Now: Tiers, Sets, Enhanced Everything
2 systems define modern buildcrafting. 1st, gear tiers: weapons and armor from The Edge of Fate onward roll Tiers 1-5. Higher tiers add perk options / enhanced components; Tier 5 armor rolls the highest stats plus an extra tuning socket. Monument of Triumph also added weapon Tier Upgrading so a lucky lower-tier god roll can climb toward Tier 5 cosmetics and enhanced perks (multiperk columns still want natural high-tier drops).
2nd, armor set bonuses: 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses from raids, dungeons, destinations, and playlist sets now compete with exotics for build identity. You do not need Tier 5 to run any loop on this page · higher tiers sharpen, they do not unlock. Artifact mods still nudge details; treat exact mod lists as flexible. Roll-by-roll farming lives in the god roll guide and Adept weapons guide.

3 Exotic Weapons (Your Choice)
All Activity Loot
Quest-Exotic Catalysts
Warlock: Turret Comfort, Nova Nuke, Arc Trance
S Prismatic · Getaway Artist
Still the most forgiving endgame Warlock kit. Consume your grenade with Getaway Artist for an Arc Soul, park a Bleak Watcher 
Stasis turret, and let Devour (Feed the 
Void) handle your health bar. 2 turrets clear lanes while you play cover · exactly what Grandmaster-tier Ops wants. Getaway Artist with Arc Soul, Bleak Watcher, and Devour is the headline Prismatic Warlock PvE kit. Bleak Watcher variants stay in the highlighted rotation.
A Void · Soul Siphon Voidwalker
The 9.7.0 Soul Siphon aspect plus Skull of Dire Ahamkara, 
Nezarec's Sin, or Mantle of Battle Harmony is the aggressive Voidwalker room-delete kit. Child of the Old Gods suppresses on attach; the channeled Soul Siphon melee drains crowds for overshield and class energy. Pick this when your team has ad-clear covered and you want the room deleted.
A 
Arc · Stormdancer's Brace trance
Stormtrance with Stormdancer's Brace and Ionic Sentry is a mono-Arc Super loop. Chain-lightning Super loops with Bad Juju energy economy · a mono-Arc alt when you are tired of Prismatic turrets.
Titan: Consecration Loops, Solar Support, Stasis Nukes
S Prismatic · Stoicism Consecration
The endgame standard for Titan. Consecration slams with Synthoceps-boosted damage clear spawn waves; Knockout keeps the melee loop healing; Spirit of Inmost Light refunds ability energy so the cycle never stalls. Thundercrash covers boss phases. If you build 1 Titan loadout for everything from GM Ops to Master raids, build this.
A Solar · Shieldburst + Hallowfire Heart
New 9.7.0 aspect: Towering Barricade slides forward as mobile cover; Rally Barricade hands scorching rounds to allies' Solar/Kinetic weapons. Pair with reworked Hallowfire Heart (ability regen + Super damage while Super is charged) for a supportive bruiser that trades some of Prismatic's raw output for team value. Hallowfire Heart Solar DPS kits stay in the A-tier Sunbreaker lane.
A 
Stasis · Shatter Behemoth
Howl of the Storm plus Tectonic Harvest shatter chains with Icefall Mantle or Blastwave Striders. Excellent when the activity rewards freeze/shatter and you want a mono-Darkness fantasy.
Sword note: Stronghold's infinite guard applies to Heavy ammo swords · still the classic pairing for a block-forward Praxic Blade playstyle.
Hunter: Boss Delete, Melee Loops, Crackshot Solo
S Prismatic · Celestial Nighthawk + Still Hunt
The boss-killer for Hunter. Celestial Nighthawk turns Golden Gun into a single massive shot and supercharges Still Hunt's Golden Gun mode · damage checks other classes need a full team for. Ad-clear comes from the dodge-melee toolkit tuned toward keeping Super charged for the moment that matters.
S Combination Blow melee loop
The famous punch loop is intact: Combination Blow stacks melee damage, Gambler's Dodge refunds the melee, Stasis/invis tools cover gaps. Gifted Conviction or Liar's Handshake (plus Praxic Blade on Prismatic melee kits) keep melee range from being a death sentence in GM-tier content. High skill ceiling, extremely high sustain once the rhythm clicks. Arc variants ("Culling Arc") remain popular creator builds.
A Solar · Crackshot Gunslinger
New 9.7.0 aspect: activating your class ability fires up to 3 scorching shots at marked targets; landing all 3 cures you. Built around Acrobat's Dodge (usable airborne) + 
Young Ahamkara's Spine, Gunslinger becomes a self-healing skirmisher that feels excellent in solo content.
The Weapons That Glue Every Build Together
Every build above leaves weapon slots flexible. These picks show up across winning loadouts on all 3 classes:
| Weapon | Role | Why it sticks |
|---|---|---|
| Praxic Blade | Heavy / exotic sword | Era-defining damage + survivability; still on Prismatic Hunter melee god-mode kits |
| Still Hunt | Special sniper | Celestial Nighthawk synergy for raid/dungeon DPS checks |
| Khvostov 7G-0X | Primary | Passive ricochet ad-clear that asks nothing of your build |
| Outbreak Perfected | Primary | Nanite swarms still shred after 9.7.0 trimmed the max damage bonus |
| Arbalest | Special linear | +33% vs Champions in 9.7.0 · lazy-correct Barrier answer |
| Conditional Finality | Special shotgun | 2 Champion stun types in 1 slot |
| Heal Clip / Incandescent primaries | Primary flex | Fills whichever sustain or scorch role your subclass does not |
Chasing top-tier legendary rolls is its own project · see the god roll guide.
Solar glue on that table is the Sunshot catalyst farm.
Farm my god roll →Name the weapon and perks your build is missing and PROs farm it for you: raids, dungeons, Ops, or Trials, at any tier up to Tier 5.
Matching the Build to the Content
The same build does not win everywhere. Quick router:
| Content | What matters | Best picks |
|---|---|---|
| Grandmaster-tier Fireteam Ops | Survival, Champion coverage, revive safety | Getaway Artist, Stoicism, Combination Blow Hunter |
| Raid / dungeon boss phases | Burst damage on a timer | Nighthawk + Still Hunt, Skull/Soul Siphon Warlock, Thundercrash Titan |
| Solo dungeons | Self-healing, zero downtime | Crackshot Hunter, Getaway Artist Warlock, Shieldburst + Hallowfire Titan |
| Playlist grinding | Speed and fun | Anything with Praxic Blade; Stasis shatter Titan; Arc trance Warlock |
Difficulty-specific advice: Grandmaster Ops guide and solo flawless ranking. If a build feels right on paper but dies in practice, the gap is usually positioning and pacing · that is coachable.
Garden still wants Dreambane armor for Garden if the raid set is the hole.
