Understanding Subclasses
Quick Information
Why did the Subclasses get updated?
- When Stasis was released with Beyond Light, Bungie introduced the new Aspect & Fragment system, a new way of customizing your abilities
- During Year 8 of Destiny (Year 5 of Destiny 2), Bungie reworked the original Light subclasses to the new system to provide better ways of using your light abilities, while also giving them new capabilities
- In Year 9 of Destiny (Year 6 of Destiny 2), Bungie released Strand, while also providing additional fragments to the existing subclasses to provide even more customization options!
Why don't I have access to Stasis or Strand?
- Darkness Subclasses are unlocked by their respective Campaigns:
- Completing the Beyond Light campaign will provide a quest to unlock Stasis.
- Completing the Lightfall campaign will unlock the majority of Strand, alongside a variety of quests.
- In Destiny 2, your subclass can be customized to fit your playstyle!
- This can be done by adjusting your super ability, your general abilities, and acquiring and slotting Aspects & Fragments.
New Light Experience: Unlocking Subclasses
- When you first start the game, players will need to earn XP to unlock some of the functionality of their light subclasses.
- Veteran Players who have been playing the game should already have the majority of their Light Subclasses unlocked.
- While some abilities (ex: Grenades) and fragments are unlocked by default, additional abilities and fragments can be unlocked by visiting Ikora Rey in the Tower Bazaar.
- Once purchased, an option to meditate will become available near Ikora − doing so will unlock the items that were purchased!
- This will need to be done on all your characters, and the items from Ikora Rey cost Glimmer.
- Darkness Subclasses are unlocked by their respective Campaigns:
- Completing the Beyond Light campaign will provide a quest to unlock Stasis.
- Completing the Lightfall campaign will unlock the majority of Strand, alongside a variety of quests.
- Completing The Final Shape Campaign will unlock Prismatic, a light and dark combined subclass.

Transcendence
- When you’re using Prismatic, you’ll notice a new bar below your Super energy meter.
- When you deal Light-aligned damage (Arc, Solar, and Void) or apply Light-aligned buffs or debuffs, the Light bar on the left fills.
- When you deal Darkness-aligned damage (Stasis or Strand) or apply Darkness-aligned buffs or debuffs, the Darkness bar on the right fills.
- Kinetic damage fills both bars at a reduced rate, but that rate increases when either bar is filled, making it a solid choice to help a lagging bar catch up.
- When both bars are full and meet in the middle, Transcendence is available.
- While Transcendent, your melee and grenade energy are instantly refreshed and regenerate more quickly.
- Dealing damage with a grenade further increases your melee regeneration rate and vice versa.
- Your weapon damage is slightly increased, and you are more resistant to incoming damage.
- In addition to these boosts, while Transcendent you’ll also have a new grenade (one unique to each class) that deals both Light and Darkness damage types.
Throw an explosive device energized with Strand matter and Arc energy that detonates in a supercharged suspending burst. The suspended target takes heavy damage over time and chains jolting lightning to any nearby targets.
Throw a mass of Void energy and Stasis matter. On impact, it deploys a miniature black hole orbited by a halo of slowing ice. After a short duration, the black hole implodes, suppressing and dealing heavy damage to all nearby targets.
Throw a device charged with Stasis matter and Solar energy that attaches to surfaces or targets and then erupts into a slowing storm. After a short duration, the device ignites, creating a deadly scorching cyclone.
