Today Bungie has revealed more details about the Warlock Stasis subclass Shadebinder and how customisation of Stasis subclasses will work differently in Destiny 2.
New layers of customisation will be added to each Stasis subclass with the addition of Aspects and Fragments.
The Warlock Shadebinder focuses on freezing enemies in their tracks. Here’s one practical example of how Aspects and Fragments are applied to augment these abilities:
“For example, A Warlock finds a Frostpulse Aspect in the world and equips it. This Aspect augments their Rift ability, which now freezes any enemies caught in the field. The Frostpulse Aspect also has a Fragment slot available, allowing further customization. This Warlock decides to slot in the Whisper of Refraction Fragment that replenishes some of their class ability energy upon shattering enemies. They have now set themselves up with a nice 1-2 punch and, if played skillfully, can use this combo frequently.”
