Mantle of Battle Harmony Prismatic Warlock Build (2024)

Gameplay Loop

Ability Breakdown

Super

• Song of Flame
  • Casting this Super ability turns you into a roaming beacon of Solar Light. Your grenade ability becomes a small sentient phoenix that seeks out targets, creating an explosion that Scorches. Your melee ability is supercharged and sends out extra projectiles to apply even more Scorch. While active, you and nearby Guardians gain Radiant and damage resistance, yours being 90% and your allies 30%. Your abilities recharge at an extremely fast rate and when the Super ends, they are refilled completely.

Abilities

• Phoenix Dive - Jump in the air and activate your class ability. You and surrounding allies gain 2 stacks of Cure.
• Burst Glide - Your jump ability is up to you, but the example setup uses Burst Glide.
• Arcane Needle - This melee ability gives you three charges. Used as a way to activate Devour and apply Unravel to enemy targets.
• Vortex Grenade - A Light damage type grenade ability that pulls enemies into its core. Use as a Weaken tool from Facet of Dominance or charge up and throw the grenade to create a Stasis turret from Bleak Watcher.

Aspects

• Feed the Void - Getting a kill with any of your available abilities activates Devour. This is your main source of grenade ability energy to keep debuffing targets with Weaken and fuels your second Aspect. Every kill while Devour is active restores your health to full and a portion of your grenade energy.
• Bleak Watcher - With Prismatic, charge your Vortex 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.

Fragments

• Facet of Sacrifice - While Devour is active, ability final blows grant Darkness Transcendence energy. This fuels one side of your Transcendence activation.
  • This fragment gives you 10 Discipline.
• Facet of Devotion - Defeating enemy targets afflicted with Unravel, Slow or Freeze grant bonus Light Transcendence energy fueling the other half of Transcendence.
  • This fragment gives you 10 Strength.
• Facet of Balance - Rapidly defeating targets with any source of Light damage grants melee energy. Since Devour only helps out your Vortex Grenade, Arcane Needle gets a little love here.
• Facet of Courage - Your Light damage abilities deal more damage to targets afflicted with Unravel, Slow or Freeze. Consider throwing down a Stasis turret or hitting a boss with Arcane Needle before popping Song of Flame.
  • This fragment gives you 10 Discipline.
• Facet of Dominance - Your Vortex Grenade applies a Weaken debuff to enemies and Devour allows you to keep applying it whenever necessary.
  • This fragment costs you 10 Discipline.

Gearing

Required Gear

Mantle of Battle Harmony - While your Super is uncharged, final blows with Solar weapons grant bonus Super energy, between 1.5% and 4.5% depending on the rank of the enemy killed. Once Song of Flame is fully charged, this turns into a 25% damage buff to your Solar weapons for 11 seconds. A dual threat Exotic, Mantle of Battle Harmony can be used with a variety of weapons and Super abilities on the Prismatic Warlock.

Substitution: Solipsism with Spirit of Harmony. See the Variants section for build recommendations.

How to acquire:

• Decrypting Exotic engrams at Rahool if unlocked.
• Farm the expert lost sector on chest Armor days.
• Note: This Exotic is locked behind the Beyond Light DLC.

Stat Priorities

• Resilience > Recovery > Discipline.
• Resilience is always the most coveted stat when in a PVE environment. It increases your damage resistance and shield capacity. The goal is 100 Resilience.
• 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

• Helmet
  • Heavy Ammo Finder - Increases the drop chance of Heavy ammo upon defeat of an opponent.
  • Harmonic Siphon - Rapid Solar weapon final blows create an Orb of Power.
  • Heavy Ammo Scout - When your Heavy Ammo Finder creates a brick of Heavy ammo for you, it also creates a brick for your allies.
• Gauntlets
  • Bolstering Detonation - Grants class ability energy when you cause damage with a grenade.
  • Harmonic Loader - Increases reload speed of Solar weapons.
  • Momentum Transfer - Causing damage with a grenade reduces your melee cooldown.
• Chest
  • Charged Up - Increases the maximum number of armor charge stacks you can carry by 1.
  • Resist/Reserve mods of your choice - Choose for the activity you are going into!
• Leg
  • Solar Weapon Surge - Your Solar weapons gain a small bonus to damage while you have any armor charge. Your armor charges now decay over time.
  • Invigoration - Reduces melee ability cooldown each time you pick up an Orb of Power.
  • Insulation - Reduces class ability cooldown each time you pick up an Orb of Power.
• Class Item
  • Powerful Attraction - Automatically collects nearby Orbs of Power when you activate your class ability.

Recommended Weapons

• Kinetic Weapon: The Call - This fresh take on the newly introduced rocket frame sidearm is a powerhouse in the Kinetic slot. With a huge ammo economy and high damage output, this is an easy choice for your special weapon. It gives you the ability to stun Unstoppable Champions with Unstoppable Sidearm.
  • The Call is locked behind The Final Shape DLC.
• Energy Weapon: Sunshot - Unmatched ad clear potential and synergizes with the Mantle of Battle Harmony Exotic chest piece.
• Power Weapon: Apex Predator - Great for damaging tankier enemies and clearing smaller packs of ads and synergizes with the Mantle of Battle Harmony Exotic chest piece.
