How to unlock Prismatic armor perks in Destiny 2 The Final Shape

Destiny 2 Prismatic Exotic class items will be available starting June 11, 2024 at 10 am PT (when the week 2 activity begins). You'll be able to return to this activity multiple times, as for each completion you'll be rewarded with a random roll. If you don't like what you get, you can always return and repeat the process until you get what you want.

To use Prismatic-specific items and armor perks you must use the Prismatic subclass. These class-specific Exotic items give you two random armor perks; there are three Prismatic Exotic items, one for each class.

  • Essentialism - Hunter Exotic cloak
  • Stoicism - Titan Exotic Mark
  • Solipsism - Warlock Exotic Band

Hunter Exotic cloak Essentialism allows you to use two armor perks. Depending on your playstyle, you can create various combinations. If you want to maximize your Supers, use Spirit of Galanor and Spirit of Star-Eater. For Predator-like attacks coming from invisibility, use Spirit of the Assassin and Spirit of the Liar.

You can go in a couple of directions with your Titan Exotic Mark Stoicism armor perks in D2. My favorite option is the buff combo of Spirit of Inmost Light and Spirit of Synthoceps. These perks allow you to use abilities more efficiently while boosting melee attacks. Another great option is the crowd-control perk combo of Spirit of Hoarfrost and Spirit of Synthoceps.

Warlock is the epitome of pure damage in Destiny 2, so it's only natural that Exotic Band Solipsism armor perks improve his attack potential. One way to punish enemies is to improve Super damage by using Spirit of Apotheosis and Spirit of the Star-Eater. But Warlock won't be a hi-tech wizard if you don't maximize your abilities. To do this, use the Spirit of Inmost Light and Spirit of Starfire.
