Solstice of Heroes 2019 event is live in Destiny 2 and you have the chance to earn armor 2.0 before the launch of the next expansion, Shadowkeep. In order to do that, you will need to grind the event and upgrade your armor to the max. You can do that for a single class or all three depending on how much grind you are willing to go through.
Solstice of Heroes 2019 Armor And Activities
The armor that you get at the start is similar to what you get when you start the base game. You will need to upgrade it. You start off with the Drained Armor, upgrading it once will get you the Renewed Armor. After grinding and upgrading the pieces you will get the Majestic Armor. Lastly, you can upgrade a final time to get the Masterworked armor.
During the event, players can take advantage of the rotating elemental burn. Killing enemies with the element that matches the burn will get you Elemental Orbs. Getting 30 of these will get you a powerful buff. The following is how this works for the different subclasses:
- Equip your Arc subclass and weapons to generate Arc orbs. Then, collect them to wield their Arc elemental power. While empowered, Guardians move with enhanced speed and deal greater melee and Sword damage.
- Equip your Solar subclass and weapons to generate Solar orbs. Then, collect them to wield their Solar elemental power. While empowered, Guardians emit a burning wave of energy that damages anything around them.
- Equip your Void subclass and weapons to generate Void orbs. Then, collect them to wield their Void elemental power. Crouch while empowered to become invisible and gain Truesight plus enhanced ability regeneration.
