How to prepare for Salvation’s Edge Raid
The recommended weapons to have on-hand for Exotics and other Legendary weapons remain
The Final Shape may introduce some new weapons, like perspective Ergo Sum, but reliable Legendary weapons’ options like Apex Predator, The Mountaintop, Cataclysmic, Commemoration, The Supremacy, and others are still highly effective choices.
Hunters have a range of strong Exotic options on Arc subclasses, including Star-Eater Scales. Celestial Nighthawk and Still Hunt are effective for high damage output. Nightstalkers using Shadowshot can play a valuable role in boss debuffing and enemy control.
Titans have various options for Super abilities depending on their subclass, such as Pyrogale Gauntlets for Solar Titans and Cuirass of the Falling Star for Arc Titans. Sentinel Shield is effective for boosting team damage, while Berserker provides solid DPS and survivability.
Despite the recent Well of Radiance nerf, it still offers healing and damage for your team. If you prefer DPS, Broodweaver is a solid choice with its strong neutral game and powerful Super. Voidwalker with Nova Bomb can be effective as well, especially when paired with Devour to stay alive.
