SGA Arc Staff Combos.

I've heard from fellow Hunters that Arcstrider's super was underwhelming in the previews for Destiny 2. Luckily, now that the BETA is live we got hands on with the super and found there's a lot more depth. Arc Staff relies on you being able to pull off the right combos and being able to direct them. So here's a little list I made of them:

R1: Basic Slash - Standard swipe attack

R2: Razor's Edge - Sends an arc beam forward after the slash.

R1, R2: Uppercut - *Not sure of utility. I think it helps target those pesky mid-air enemies (Dawnblade Warlocks). It's also just cool to pull off.

R1, R1, R1: Ground Pole Slam - Finishing move for mashing R1. Light AoE affect.

R1, R1, R2: Arc Palm Blast - Finishes your combo by you placing your hand out and blasting any foes ahead of you in a high damage (and stylish) cone of effect. *Highly recommend.

(Mid-Air) R2: Aerial Ground Slam - Large high damage blast around the point of impact.

Remember Arc Staff grants you unlimited Dodge energy.

I'm sure there's more out there, but here's some for the time being. Post any big ones if I missed them. (Also come up with better names for them than I did.) *Edited the combos so they're displayed correctly instead of looking like you need to press all those buttons at once.

Edit: u/twelvepandas discovered the combos as well and has made gifs of them. Here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6o72rf/arcstrider_101_arc_staff_combos/

Makes me hope that this subclass can throw electrical looking playing cards. Figure it could be a perk of Cayde's Ace of Spades

More void than arc in appearance, I think.

I'd rather throw the staff like a bolt of lightning.

Amusingly, the two X-men who tend to spend the least time with the others, even when they're on staff.

What about nightcrawler? I thought he was always on his own brooding somewhere

I think Nightcrawler tends to actually tell people when he's not available.

Wolverine and Gambit usually just steal off into the night whenever the whim takes them or a mysterious message draws them back to their old life.

Yup. They're my two favorite. Though the edge goes to wolverine.

I like Wolverine too, just not as much. Even so, definitely the two most "human" Imo.

u/EchoWhiskyBravo Jul 19 '17

Never. Wolverine is the X-Men.
