After a decade of Guardians adventuring through Sol, Destiny 2: The Final Shape is finally here. This expansion promises the end of Destiny’s first saga — Light and Darkness — and the birth of the next era of the franchise.

Every ability deals damage (Arc, Strand, Solar, etc.) until they change to a different element. Prismatic turns all of that on its head by allowing Guardians to combine abilities from multiple elements at once, allowing players to equip an Arc Aspect, a Strand Aspect, a Void grenade, a Stasis Super, or any other combination of elements.

That’s all great, but the real kicker there is Transcendence, which is a kind of bonus Super players can get by dealing Dark and Light damage in equal measure. When activating Transcendence, Guardians will gain bonus weapon damage, bonus ability charge rate, and a brand new grenade that’s exclusive to their class.

In addition to Prismatic, each class is also getting a new Super and a new Aspect for one of their Light subclasses. Titans are getting Twilight Arsenal — which lets them throw massive axes that their teammates can pick up. Hunters are getting
