Prepare to witness a paradigm shift in Destiny 2 with the imminent arrival of the Prismatic Subclass in The Final Shape expansion. This new subclass will blend abilities from the Light and Dark subclasses, opening up a world of possibilities for players. A recent blog post by Bungie teased the array of subclass abilities and supers that the Prismatic Subclass will bring, sparking excitement among the community. Beyond the anticipated synergy of buffs and debuffs, the true potential lies in the subclass's ability to counter Champion enemies.
Unlike traditional setups, Destiny 2 allows players to bring any gear into endgame activities as long as power level requirements are met. However, facing Champion enemies demands specific weapons, subclass abilities, Seasonal Artifact Perks, or Exotics capable of stunning them.
A Game-Changing Shift in Destiny 2's Champion Counters
Understanding the Impact of Destiny 2's Riptide Meta
The Riptide fusion rifle has become a staple in many endgame PvE builds for its ability to counter two Champion types with the Chill-Clip perk. While effective, this reliance ties up energy weapon ammo, affecting overall DPS potential. Typically, countering Champions in Destiny 2 requires sacrificing build elements. However, the Prismatic Subclass is set to revolutionize this approach.
Existing Light and Dark subclasses in Destiny 2 can only stun two out of three Champion types, necessitating additional weapons to address the remaining type(s). The Prismatic Subclass promises a breakthrough, enabling Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks to utilize subclass-specific counters for all Champion types simultaneously.

Anticipate a transformative experience with the forthcoming Prismatic Subclass from The Final Shape expansion, poised to redefine Destiny 2's landscape.
