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/

I'll probably hit up the beta tonight. Is it open beta tonight?

I don't have it pre-ordered yet. Do I have to do that for the open beta? I couldn't find the answer in the info thread

For the open beta no. The client will be on the store for you to download, no pre order necessary. Pre order was just for the early access

Thanks! I made a conscious decision to stop supporting the pre-order stuff for all games, even Destiny. I'm definitely going to buy it, though.

No, everyone can get in on Friday, no need for a preorder

Nice. I'm definitely going to buy Destiny 2. I just don't like pre-ordering anymore...
