The first 2 min of him being in onslaught my brain was saying “why isn’t he going invis, oh yeah he isn’t wearing cowl. Wait why didn’t he go invis, oh yeah, he isn’t wearing cowl” that build is just forged into my mind lol

9:34 Supers ignore servitor immune beams, so i guess that also extends to shreiker shells. I belive it also applies to taken blight domes, phalanx shields, and scorn shields. Basically, everything but boss immune phases.

Assassins cowl with indebted and 1-2 punch kinectic shotty. Use fragment that blinds with special weapons. Spec into finisher special ammo and its ggs. A mix of strong melee build with cc and dmg from indebted kindness

Raiden was amazing back-in-the-day and I’m glad it’s gets Bungie’s adoration again with arc refreshness.

These videos cure my depression, why are build videos from you especially so enjoyable lmao

Love this Build. I run similar. Only not as many orbs(Fixing l8r) . - You know the combo. Trust it. Find a weak add, pretend you're a Titan that found shoulder charge, and PLAY AGGREESIVELY. - You're right. Light attack super is for adds, heavy combo is mainly for BIG BOIS. Good vid. Great analysis. Glad you had fun with it also.

Love you mac! Thanks for the awesome content!

It warms my cold black heart every time Mactics reminds me that he is a fellow arc hunter main deep down whenever he goes into new content.

I'm a huuuuge fan of blink for this build btw. Used properly, it helps a lot with survivability and gap-closing.

Are you planning on an overview video of the best builds for each class for the legendary campaign for final shape? Especially for those of us that are coming back from a break.

I'd like to point out that this build only works: - in very ad heavy environments (such as Onslaught) - with a lot of opportunities to get your super (such as Onslaught) - when you can approach enemies easily because of a massive lack of ranged options (such as Onslaught) - when you don't really need to insta-gib a boss (such as Onslaught) - when you can reliably kill a lot of enemies easily as they are your only source of health (such as Onslaught) The build is pretty good. But that's mostly because Combination Blow and the Arc Hunter aspcet combo is pretty good as it is - to the point where most exotics barely enhance it -, not because Raiden Flux is any good. In fact, by eliminating every other Arc exotic (such as Assassin's, Raspberry, or Liar's), and forcing the heavy weapon and exotic weapon to be Thunderlord which isn't really capable of long-range burst damage, you didn't eliminate the shortcomings of other Combination Blow builds (difficulty building up stacks, survivability, sufficient ranged damage), but further added to those issues. Now, that most of these don't come up in Onslaught, where the only "far away" targets are the Shriekers, weak ads are plentiful for stacks, and most stuff tries to run past you and gib the ADU is one thing, but you'll feel all of these even in a Nightmare Hunt. At the same time, the build "fixes" a number of issues that are not really issues. The super is mostly good for ad-clear and not much else - which the build is already pretty good at with the Jolt, so increasing its duration does basically absolutely nothing beneficial in most content - especially since the damage it does against a single target is still just on par with Gathering Storm. Onslaught is a bit of an outlier in that regard, as no amount of ad-clear is every enough ad-clear. Thunderlord needs you to stand mostly still and shoot headshots to do large amounts of damage. You do not want to do that on THE squishiest subclass in the entire game. And while it is very tempting to go double special, you still kinda need a primary weapon, if only to "prime" ads when you build up stacks, or at the *very least* a secondary that doesn't murder any red bar instantly. You don't want to be punching the same Acolyte fifty times, because with even a slightly larger power gap than here, he's just gonna backhand you and break your neck. So instead of a blinding nade launcher, just use Indebted Kindness or Path of Least Resistance/another trace - might as well run divinity, at least you can fuck up tormentors easily - is very much the play. The only exception might be going up against an Unstop Ogre, but even then you can just jolt & punch first - Lethal Current and your 'nade got you covered there. Or just put on Blinding Nade if you feel the need to. Or just use the Mothkeeper's for you exotic with its reliable - albeit kinda slow - blinding moths. For heavy, you need a heavy GL, a Rocket, or an LFR *at the very least*, otherwise the only thing you'll be throwing at tougher targets at a distance (like Shriekers) is a witty insult, because you are NOT punching them, and you are NOT getting close to them with Arc Staff, and you are NOT staring them down with goddamn Thunderlord for 30 seconds until the gun finally ramps up (which, btw, you can't even reload quickly because you have Gambler's Dodge, not Marksman, so you can't even use it in its ramped up state for that long, so you might as well just use a Hammerhead or Song of Ir Yut and be done with it).

Personally Mactics, you’re by far my favorite when it comes learning new builds and applying them and see how they feel. Your pyrogale build is one of my favorites.

Semi recently finally finished shadowkeep on my Hunter to get Assassins Cowl just to have fun with. MAN I never used arc hunter but it’s now one of my favorite subclasses and exotic armors to use. Super powerful and super fun

Man somebody giving love to raiden flux..its such a great exotic and if used correctly can be lethal. You can take out . champs and every super doesnt have to do DPS. Its one of my favorite builds

Ive had variations of this build for a while and its by far one of the most fun builds ever

I used this build to clear Whisper when it first came out. It was really good clearing those rooms

I never rusk arc or melee build, but I'm definitely trying this out. Looks so fun!

With Strand Titan being somewhat nerfed and Stasis being buffed, I found out that there is a build that can substitute, and depending on how Frost armor works, may actually be better than Strand Titan My build is using the Winter's Guile warlock exotic armor with Vexcalibur Winter's Guile gives you a buff to melee damage after a melee kill, which stacks 5 times, and at 5 stacks, Vexcalibur deals 50k damage per melee. Vexcalibur also gives a Void Overshield when blocking damage For now while we wait for the Final Shape and Frost Armor with stasis, I build into freezing enemies with the coldsnap grenade and getting grenade energy back. However, when the Final Shape releases, if Frost Armor's damage reduction stacks on top of Void Overshields, you can build instead into creating shards to get Frost armor. If all works out in the end, you'll have a glaive melee that deals over 50k damage, a Void Overshield, and damage reduction, which would make this build arguably stronger than any Strand Titan build (except for boss damage) With the right gameplay loop, you can carry in Legend Onslaught, so long as you make sure that you always have a Void Overshield up and you are not meleeing the explosive thralls and shanks

I really thought those lego figs were free standing, I'm like an unexpected sneeze would rock their world lol

I pulled out my crafted Brigand's Law yesterday for the first time since the pirate season. Threat Detector + Voltshot. It seemed like voltshot was also getting triggered from enemies that died to my Anarchy traps, and it would even happen in the middle of a magazine while I was actively shooting (instead of only after reloading). I wasn't exactly sober, though, so maybe I just hallucinated it 😵‍💫

I would probably use Star Eater Scales and Gathering Storm with this instead of Raiden Flux and staff. The number of orbs you generate will fuel the Scales so fast, and you'll be able to plop down Storms a LOT. That is also a much stronger super against bosses and other tanky enemies.

Totally going to try this, because this method is very simple, but highly effective even without assassin's cowl and any time I see another Hunter do this, I still pull my weight and kill anything that is not their priority and enjoy the show when I can. There is also a SIVA look from Krypz if you got the Raiden Flux with that SIVA ornament. There are some good ones and I am using now.

I love that the metrics have said yes ads for skincare product is perfect for a gaming content creator.

The fact that it’s raiden flux makes my heart happy, it’s my favourite exotic.

also big thing to note, at 5 intellect is where the newish gains on super are capped out, any further and its just base time reduction only and what i mean is the whole generating super from primary damage and kills etc, but i think it slightly effects the pick up from orbs aswell, not 100% on that mechanic but i do know always always and forever have intelligence at T3 and no lower, otw you actually gain less than default, which is what T3 is no bonus gains, just the normal amount gained from dmging foes

Thanks!

Man back in the day I remember running Nightfalls with double Raiden Arcstriders and a single Orpheus Nightstalker. So much add clear.

Any chance there is a DIM Link for this or did I miss it?

I use a version of this build with Liars Handshake with double one two punch shotguns for Gambit. For PVE low end things I use mountain top with sunshot/graviton Lance. For high end activities I like to use Trinity Ghoul.

I think something that would be good to consider adding is riskrunner, It works well with melee because whenever you throw your pulse you might get hit by it once or twice triggering the riskrunner perk giving you that resistance. Would really help your survivalbilty

I have this same setup but with liars handshake as whenever you melee, you have a massive boost to damage and you regen a solid chunk of health when you punch an enemy

Absolute legend going to show my mate this hope you’re doing a lot better today Mac and I have to say the moustache is looking exquisite today ❤

this was so fun to watch live

Thank you bro

For this build, I would swap out for the disorienting grenades/auto loading/chill clip to keep enemies from scattering as soon as they are disoriented by slowing them or even freezing them for shatter damage On larger enemies so you can run in to get off the melee kills.

Final warning with facet of balance on hunter with stylish executioner and strand clone also using renewal grasps for my dusk fields and you can fill in the other weapons and aspects because I still don’t have all of them

I love Sunset Drive by Future Joust in the background!

My issue with melee builds in onslaught is I always end up punching suicide ads. They seem to gravitate towards me.

I run a similar build but I use the Brigand's Law sidearm with Pugilist/Swashbuckler and the origin trait is perfect for meele builds.

Looks like a lot of fun to use, and this build will work with a 68 roll Raiden Flux I have been holding on to for what feels like years now. Although at the end it sounds like this might not be the build to run for Final Shape if you're planning to do the campaign on Legendary difficulty. Will still give it a shot. If it doesn't work theres always the Arc or Solar Assassins Cowl builds to fall back on.

can't wait to use this build with a different super but having synto on

I like liars handshake exotic for the additional melee dmg buff and health regen...though i will say that while fun for normal content, I always find myself in awkward positions in challenging content and my melee buff drops right in front of a champion.....always a 2 second stare at me and i get smacked hard lol

Mac, you should use your golden tricorn subjunctive for this build. You're pretty much always gonna have golden tricorn active and having 3 arc weapon surge mods would make it even better

Arc hunter is my favorite build. I hope the next artifact has arc stuff.

Another thing you didn't mention is that thunder lord gives huge amounts of super energy when continuously firing at a target

I swear nobody knows about the 3x heavy handed thing. The amount of orbs it drops is so insane and I have always done this with heavy handed and more people should especially titans

@mactics Now that season artifact is known, any changes to your hunter?

i got a pardon our dust roll that i havent crafted like at all yet, but its been pretty handy to have the blinding auto loading with turnabout giving an overshield, very handy

just noticed ur star wars lego collection lol😭that shit is badass

i feel like rocking a power preservation mod wouldve been a gamechanger to this build

This gives me spire of the stars vibes ⭐️

Light light heavy...also dodge then do attacks

I'm going to use this build BUT with Liar's Handshake. I feel a bit weak when playing hunter's melee build, but this exotic does counter due to the increased damage and healing.

reminds me of doomfang titan. Which is prob what I"ll be running bc it is so fun.

21% delirium being unsunset plus becons adding power weapons could free up your exotic slot and add non super ad clear

To an extent this is the same build made l made last season. Though it was utilizing gathering storm and a couple different items. BUT, when they nerfed the orb drop rates it took a VERY hard hit. It was absolutely invincible. Liars Handshake is a better call with an Assassins swap, or in this this builds case the chest your are using. But trust me on this, because you're not depending on the weapon for kills, an Auto Loading One Two Punch Dead Weight Shotgun from Gambit for its speed... And I ran it in combination with Two Tailed Fox for the synergy and debuf.... Just take a look at it

I'm actually super happy Onslaught is majority add-clear, because all my favorite, super fun Arc builds are pretty much useless in high-end content. It lets me spam my Wish-Brand Thundercrash titan, my Palpatine warlock, and even my Snakebite hunter.

have you thought about making a salvations grip build with titan? it destroys the wardens lair

I really want to see a gathering storm build. I love arc a lot and I’m still tweaking a few things. It’s just hard to find the right set up of fragments and weapons to use.

Prbly the best thing is have to builds, lair hand and then swap to raidenflux. So this way you can get combination blow going untill super

This seems like the kind of build that will shine even brighter with a Prismatic setup.

"Let's go finish up this pantheon!" ... wait ... Where am I?!

I thought I'd have a problem without my cowl, even so this was so much fun, I'm still to use my Super 😂, thanks for this gamers build. 👍😎

add Blink for more defense (getting out of a bind)

Great video and makes me want to try this but was anyone else distracted by the Aztecross outro music? 😅

What ship and shader is mactics using?

You gotta remember that Raiden Flux leaves the damaging field when you dodge then attack in your super.

Raiden flux was so key for add clear in OG leviathan hard mode

Id say blink and flashbang grenades are the superior choices with this build

Sitting here at the 7:20 mark and Mactics just told us all he never knew how to use raider flux

Clicked the second I got the notification

Yup. I'm taking this + an Anarchy loadout in with Rigs. Going Oldschool

My issue with arc hunter melee builds is that the lethal current explosion often kills the enemy and doesn't give you a stack of combination blow

This is definitely close to the build I want to make going into Final Shape but I want to make a true Arc Staff with the Tempest Strike Aspect and even with the exotic it's gonna get with Final Shape, I kinda feel like it isn't as good as Titan's Conceration Build.

Luv me some Raiden Flux pole dancer hunter!

I respect trying something new, and I'll give it a go, but I'm going to have Cowl or Liar's on standby in case it just can't hang in Legend Campaign. I see orb generation as a plus in team play more than solo.

The "AH 😮"

I think this build will shine with the new Khvostov

Finally raiden flux getting some love

Damn people are catching on Ive been rocking this since arc 3.0

And with spark of beacons getting updated for heavy ammo arc weapons, Thunderlord is going to go absolutely nuts with combo/disorienting blow.

This build is spicey and looks like you can really just flex any armor exotic with Arc hunter to change up your needs on the go.

This close to how my Liars Handshake Arc build is

I missed out on so many raids because I was addicting to using Zhalo Supercell with Mask of the Third Man in Prison of Elders 😂 Today I’m addicted to Arc Warlock with Crown of Tempest

what would this build be like if you used star eater scales with gathering storm instead for a higher dps setup? youre already making a bunch of orbs anyways so i bet this would be just as good if not better

Hey what website are you useing for the destiny gear

You can perform the same build with titan and insurmountable skullfront and thunderclap.

what cloak ornament is that? it's sick

would bombardiers work well until you have your super then switch to Raiden flux?

Was hoping my wicked stasis build would make the cut

Gyrfalcons hauberk, echo of vigilance, echo of undermining, echo of harvest, echo of starvation, stylish execution, vanishing step, void wall grenade, strafe jump, marksman’s dodge, mobius quiver, use manticore cos void smg plus gain ammo when firing in the air, edge transit gl with any damage and ammo perk, succession or heritage, distribute stats evenly aim for 70 on 4 so 70 mobility, 70 resilience, 70 strength and 70 discipline ( if possible as fragments take 20 discipline away ) personally I use 60 on 5 stats ( mobility, resilience, strength, discipline and intellect ) so yes I will take my 1000 silver now

Ok a few things, first the survivability is low but at least something different. Second wish Gwisin Vest would add more super as the Flux and Shards, that way you can use devour would be sweet. And third im thinking to make a build with Triton Vice with Winterbite to use with frost armor an the soon to be buffed shatter dive for the campaign.

This is such a fun build even without perfect stat armor it has enough sustain it’s a blast easy 50 wave farming

One moment, doesn't the new ascention ability consume your class ability? So if combination blow refunds it, that's gonna give you two immediate charges, plus monte carlo and you could spam ascentions for as long as there are adds, and with the new chest piece, that's gonna give you some good damage, or you could use sixth ciotee instead, though that'd only benefit your first attack since I don't think combination blow refunds both.

My boy is going to unlock presmatic and he's making a raiden flux thunderlord build.

Amazing vid wish he linked the build in dim

I'm not the only one staring at the Lego Clone Army he has in the background right?

Couldn't you go assassins cowl while roaming then switch to raiden when you get your super?

- Better already should be swapped for recuperation. - Seems this would be good with Star Eaters and Gathering Storm
