Destiny 2 - All Classes, subclasses, and perk trees
A breakdown of all the subclasses and perk tress for each of Destiny 2's classes, the Hunter, Titan, and Warlock.
There are three main classes in Destiny 2 – Hunter, Titan, and Warlock – and each of these offer four subclasses, with their own perk trees, Aspects, and Fragments. With the release of Destiny 2: Forsaken, these skill trees were expanded with an additional cluster of perks, which altered each Super for each class. With Beyond Light, a new subclass was added called Stasis, which also introduced Aspects and Fragments. From Beyond Light onwards, each Light subclass was updated to a 3.0 version. With the release of Lightfall, players have access to a second Darkness subclass, Strand. Below you will find a breakdown of every single class in Destiny 2, along with their subclasses and perk trees.
All Classes, Subclasses, and Perk Trees
There are currently three Classes in Destiny 2: Hunter, Titan, and Warlock. While none is more powerful than another, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The most important difference between them all are the abilities found within the subclasses and the perk trees.
Each Class has six subclasses: Arc, Solar, Void, Stasis, Strand, and Prismatic. Within these subclasses are Aspects and Fragments that alter builds as well as different Super options. Use the links below to jump to the subclass of your choice.
| Hunter | Titan | Warlock | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar | Gunslinger 3.0 | Sunbreaker 3.0 | Dawnblade 3.0 |
| Arc | Arcstrider 3.0 | Striker 3.0 | Stormcaller 3.0 |
| Void | Nightstalker 3.0 | Sentinel 3.0 | Voidwalker 3.0 |

Subclass verbs and effects
Each subclass element has a set of verbs in Destiny 2. These verbs describe some type of effect that can be applied to you, allies, or opponents. Understanding these verbs, how they interact, and what they do is critical to creating builds that synergize well internally as well as with your allies. Below are a set of tables containing the verbs and effects for each element type.

Warlock - Prismatic
The Warlock Prismatic subclass is a combination of its five other subclasses. Players can weave together a powerful build that utilizes a variety of elements for the first time in Destiny history. The following descriptions are likely to change with the release of The Final Shape to allow greater synergy between the subclass verbs.
Super
- Song of Flame: Unleash your inner phoenix with every attack. Buff your weapons, allies, and harness the living Solar flame.
- Nova Bomb: Cataclysm: Hurl an explosive bolt of Void Light at a target, disintegrating those caught within its blast. Nova Bomb travels slowly and seeks targets. Detonations shatter into smaller seeker projectiles.
- Stormtrance: Chain Arc Lightning from your hands to electrify targets with devastating streams of Arc Light that intensify over time. Casting Stormtrance creates a shockwave underneath you. Press shoot to teleport forward, consuming a small amount of Super energy.
- Winter’s Wrath: Summon a Stasis staff. While your Super is active, press shoot to cast out a barrage of Stasis shards that freeze targets. Press melee to cast out a shockwave that shatters all frozen targets.
- Needlestorm: Conjure a hail of deadly woven needles. After embedding themselves in the environment, the needle wwill re-weave into a host of Threadlings. Threadlings you create will return to you and perch if they can't find any nearby targets. Damaging targets with your weapons or melee will send out perched Threadlings to attack.
Melee
- Incinerator Snap: Snap your fingers to create a fan of burning sparks that explode and scorch targets.
- Pocket Singularity: Launch an unstable ball of Void energy that detonates when it nears a target, pushing them away from the blast and making them volatile.

- Penumbral Blast: Raise your Stasis staff against your foe. Send a blast of Stasis forward to freeze your targets.
