Shadebinder in Destiny: What Does It Mean?
The Shadebinder is a powerful subclass for the Warlock in Destiny, introduced with the Beyond Light expansion. It is centered around the use of Stasis, a new elemental power derived from the Darkness. This subclass allows players to manipulate the battlefield by freezing and shattering enemies, offering a unique playstyle compared to traditional Light-based subclasses.
Abilities
The Shadebinder subclass comprises several abilities that define its gameplay mechanics. Understanding these abilities is crucial for maximizing the potential of the subclass.
- Super Ability - Winter's Wrath: The Shadebinder's Super ability. It equips players with a Stasis staff that freezes enemies with a shockwave and shatters them with a secondary attack.
- Melee Ability - Penumbral Blast: A ranged melee attack that launches a ball of Stasis energy, freezing targets on impact.
- Grenade Abilities: The Shadebinder can use a variety of Stasis grenades, such as the Glacier Grenade, which creates walls of Stasis crystals to control the battlefield.
Aspects and Fragments
Shadebinders can customize their subclass further through the use of Aspects and Fragments, which tailor the abilities to fit different playstyles.
- Aspects: These are unique modifiers that grant additional abilities or bonuses. For example, the Frostpulse Aspect creates a burst of Stasis energy upon casting a Rift, freezing nearby enemies.
- Fragments: These are smaller modifiers that provide secondary effects and stat bonuses. Players can mix and match Fragments to enhance their Shadebinder's capabilities.
Strategies
Mastering the Shadebinder subclass involves understanding how to effectively use its abilities in various combat scenarios.
- Freezing and Shattering: Use the Penumbral Blast to freeze groups of enemies, then follow up with weapon attacks or the Winter's Wrath to shatter them, dealing massive damage.
- Zone Control: Utilize Stasis grenades to create barriers or traps, controlling enemy movement and creating opportunities for team coordination.
- Team Support: The Shadebinder can serve as a support role by freezing enemies, making them vulnerable targets for teammates to eliminate.
