This guide dives deep into Strand debuffs, buffs, and abilities to help you form your Strand subclass.

The Destiny 2: Lightfall campaign familiarizes you with the base Strand subclass, but you can unlock it after you complete the final Lightfall mission. Strand swings in with new debuffs, buffs, and Strand-specific currency to fully upgrade the subclass.

You need Strand Meditations to purchase the two grenades, two Aspects, and 14 Fragments to fully unlock the Strand subclass from the Pouka Pond on Neomuna. Currently, Strand Meditations do not go to the Postmaster, so you will need to pick up any lying around--they drop as green motes, but you can get them from doing certain activities--we have a detailed guide on how to farm for Strand Meditations, and how to get the Final Warning Exotic sidearm after you get all Strand abilities.

Strand introduces new features into the game, and this guide will break down each ability and how to trigger debuffs to make the most of your subclass.

Tangles are like a ball of yarn made of Strand threads that spawn after enemies affected by Strand debuffs are killed. You can pick up Tangles and throw them at enemies or shoot Tangles to deal damage. You can also toss a Tangle in the distance to grapple onto it and follow its trajectory. After you create a Tangle, you'll have a cooldown where you can't create additional Tangles.

Strand also has Grapple Tangles. These stable anchor points don’t deal damage or move out of place when grappled. You’ll find Grapple Tangles scattered around Neomuna, but one of the Hunter Widow’s Silk Aspect creates Grapple Tangles anywhere--which only last for a few seconds--and teammates can grapple onto it too. Remember, using Grapple Tangles
