The BEST Solar 3.0 Builds in Destiny
Nerfs couldn't kill these builds
Everyone’s been using Arc 3.0 this season. The seasonal mods made grenade builds (especially Storm Grenades) highly overpowered.
But in ALMOST 3 weeks, they’re all going away.
Unfortunately… Arc 3.0 isn’t the best for endgame content.
Today, I’m going to share the best Solar 3.0 build for each class (that the Radiant and Restoration nerfs couldn’t kill).

This build has so much healing and damage mitigation going on.
Well of Life, Sunspots, Throwing Hammer, and Orbs of Power all give you healing. Sprinting, 100 Resilience, and using two damage-resist mods on your chest all massively reduce your incoming damage.
Just spam your Throwing Hammer and live forever.

This build gives you so many juiced-up Fusion Grenades.
You can hold up to two of them at a time. Every 0.3 seconds, you get 20% grenade energy from each weapon hit while you’re buffed from an Empowering Rift of Well of Radiance.
With this build, you’re doing the most damage possible for Solar 3.0. It’s amazing for:
Boss DPS in any activity
Tanky enemies in Master/Grandmaster
Stupid amounts of fun add clear with explosions everywhere
This build does it all.

This build is so much fun!
Everything in this build is about throwing as many Tripmine Grenades and Gunpowder Gambles. What you end up is a build that never stops making explosions and giving energy to all of your abilities.
Just focus on throwing your Tripmine into the middle of enemies. You’ll get kills which let you throw a Gunpowder Gamble. It’s really easy to get a loop going where you’re only throwing abilities (and causing explosions everywhere).
Pro tip: Use your favorite Elemtanl Primary weapon with Incandescent. I LOVE Zauli’s Bane and Calus Mini Tool. They can make their own Igntion explosions in a lot of situations.
All of these builds should give you plenty to work with. What Arc 3.0 build have you been playing with non-stop?
Have you ever felt:
Gatekept from endgame content you paid for?
Anxiety and stress playing non-matchmade content?
The best loot is unobtainable?
You're wasting your time with nothing to show for it?
I will personally help you 1-on-1 get anything and everything out of Destiny. Fill your time with enjoyment and happiness rather than grind and uncertainty.
