How To Use Warlock Destiny 2 Build?
The use of weapons is up to you and you can use any weapon you see fit. The Strand Warlock build relies on grenade damage. Consume a grenade and then use your rift when you see enemies. Using Rift will deploy all the Threadlings you have and attack the enemies. If enemies are far from you then throw grenades at them from a distance. Do not consume grenades when enemies are far from you. Shooting enemies will let your Threadling attack the enemies.
Since you will be unraveling enemies that you damage with Threading, unraveled enemies will turn into Tangles upon defeat. You can shoot these Tangles from a distance to create even more Threadlings. Warlock Destiny 2 Strand build will turn you into a Threadling God.
