These Onslaught Builds Made Me Question EVERYTHING (Build Battles Ep 19) | Destiny 2 Into the Light

Over the last few days over on Twitch, we've been running some Build Battles within Onslaught. This time around, we got some pretty interesting submissions. Which build took the top spot though?

Someone get that Antaeus Ward guy to teach Cross how to throw knives.

[killeratj.]

Imagine having a cool unique build, getting it on build battles and having cross say "This build is starting to struggle" after running head first into a brig cannon shot and dying.

[montemccleery]

The amount of times a perfect gameplay combo has been absolute OBLITERATED by a teleporting enemy... glad to see Cross is human too! 🤣

[dayhaven]

Glad someone is talking about final warning threading build, crazy add clear and if used right the sidearm does the highest primary damage in the game and can destroy yellow bars with ease

As a certfied Effigy enjoyer, this build kinda underutilizes its potential. Using it with something like Briarbinds and just standing in the middle of a group of enemies blocking with volatile active its just endless devour, weaken, volatile, suppression, and its super effective. On hunter the block wont break invis and will proc volatile with every tick of damage.

0-2 in build battles but I like to make off-meta builds

Thanks for using my throwing knife build

(Edited) Thank you so much for the positive feedback, i might get banned again but imma do another build battle with off-meta builds. Thanks again ❤

30:18 1 fragment is worth 50 %or 33% when your already spawning hordes of threadlings with the seasonal mod. Maybe if we didn’t have the seasonal mod but if you put that fragment into something that help with survivability or something else useful….I think you could definitely make an argument to swap it out.
I would have said 15-20% tops. There’s so many parts of the built and it’s a single fragment that yes helps by adding an additional threadling on weapon kills…. But that’s in addition to the horde of them constantly spawning off of unraveled targets. I feel like it wasn’t as helpful of a change as he made it out to be.

[ShaoShaoMienshao]

Changing that Threadling build was a bad call. Deducting points for a change the submitter didn't ask for was even worse.

Cross clearly didn't realize that Thread of Fury was meant to lean into the Survival power of Weavewalk by giving lots of Melee energy just for throwing or breaking the Tangles, which make Threadlings due to Swarmers, and would suspend enemies too. The melees can also inflict Unraveling on their own, and Final Warning can as well. I think Thread of Fury gives both offensive power and defensive utility. It is a perfectly fine choice that leans into the Ability aspect of the build, while Thread of Rebirth leans more into the Gun aspect.

I don't think it was right of him to change the build that way. I'm glad that the build still won even with the meddling score reduction.

[pasttense]

Thread of Fury is there for more weavewalk uptime. more weavewalk means more threadlings and arguably more important, survivability

[alicegotlost]

Changing the build and then deducting points because you changed it doesnt sit right. Difficult to explain, but i think build battles should be true to the original submission as much as possible.

Great video as always apart from that tho!

[Juggyn]

Thanks for having me again Cross and thank you again chat for voting for me!

[Proverb.]

For the Weavewalk build Thread of Fury actually makes sense because Weavewalk requires/consumes melee charges. Since you have Hatchling and the Artifact Mod where killing Unraveled targets spawns Threadlings you should have enough already. Of course the swap you made would spawn more on weapon kills, but Weavewalk also stacks Threadlings and you get more uses because of the Melee energy gain. I think you could say it's dealers choice. But no Woven Mail means you are solely relying on Weavewalk, so I'd prefer the extra survivability tbh.

[JonathanToole]

Heliocentric has become one of my favorite weapons hands down this year. Heal clip comes in so clutch.

[wzrd_night]

Thanks for giving my build a try! Even though I got the ban hammer it’s still awesome to see a fellow titan main.

I’ll be back with more and hopefully next time it’ll win!

Thanks again cross!

[tylerquackenbos]

The creativity as cross stated deserves much credit in regards to the Vesper build.

[ShaoShaoMienshao]

Ruinous Effigy is definitely one of our most "exotic" feeling exotics. The Aegis-like suppression shield, the unique dunk animation, its honestly incredibly cool.

[dredgen]

Dude I’ve been crutching a Swarmers build. It’s really nice, especially for the enemy density. I love it most on Midtown with those narrow hallways. It turns everything green.

[LONARD]

This just goes to show that builds are a personal preference. What really works well for one person might not so much for another.

[Subsistence]

15:16 LOL now I just want a full fireteam of warlocks running this build and chanting the sacred mantra 😂😂
