AlthoughDestiny 2might not be a true MMORPG, there are various elements of the game that seek to replicate that experience. And when players are in an endgame activity, theability to buff teammates and debuff enemiesAND knowing which ones are the best can prove essential for success.While there are some debuffs and buffs that are common knowledge forDestiny 2players, some might not be aware of all the debuffs and buffs that are available. On top of that, there are a lot of debuffs and buffs that don’t stack with each other, so players may want to know which ones are the best to use.RELATED:How to Get Destiny 2’s Divinity Trace RifleTo that end,FmladUpdateshas created a very useful Destiny 2 infographic that details some of the broaderDestiny 2debuffs and buffs. The infographic is very useful because it clearly outlines which abilities, exotic armor pieces, mods, and weapons offer specific benefits and what those benefits are.Check out the infographic below:
At one point, many of the debuffs available inDestiny 2would stack, butBungie eventually made a changeso only the highest percentage benefit would be active. Any debuffs or buffs that were applied to a player or fireteam and only gave a lower benefit would simply not be active until the higher value buff or debuff ran out.
For example, standing in aWarlock’s Well of Radianceand an Empowering Rift would only give the 25% damage buff of the Well. But if the Well of Radiance ran out and the fireteam was still standing in an active Empowering Rift, then the 20% damage buff would take over.
WhileDestiny 2payers may be familiar with the global buffs and debuffs that are available, there are a few outliers that they may not be aware of. The buff from theLumina exotic hand cannon, for example, is actually a higher damage buff than Well of Radiance and has proven useful when it comes to defeating King’s Fall raid bosses quickly.
As it stands now, though, the most common combination forDestiny 2endgame fireteams is to have oneDivinity user for the 30% debuff(and the easier to hit crit spot), a Well of Radiance for the 30% damage buff and protection from incoming damage, a damage mod on the weapon (i.e. Boss Spec or Adept Big Ones Spec), and a damage boosting perk on the weapon (i.e. Vorpal Weapon or Firing Line). Altogether, this should be the optimum strategy for any base level raid team, but those who want to push the damage output even higher can use the infographic and consider alternate strategies.
WhileDestiny 2might still be a straightforward shooter to a lot of players, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than some realize. Hopefully, this helpful breakdown from FmladUpdates helps and cheers to them for creating it.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
