Destiny 2: Heresy introduces several weapons, with Refusal of the Call being a standout for Glaive users. This weapon is ideal for Strand builds thanks to its innate Strand damage and Strand-specific perks.
PvE Performance of Refusal of the Call
Refusal of the Call is the only Strand Glaive in Destiny 2, making it a desirable choice for players with Strand builds.
| Refusal of the Call – PvE | |
|---|---|
| Haft | Ballistic Tuning (Range +15, Shield Duration -10) |
| Magazine | Swap Mag (Increases this weapon’s ready and stow speed) |
| Perk 1 | Slice (Casting your class ability allows this weapon to sever targets on hit for a brief duration, up to a maximum number of targets) |
| Perk 2 | Sword Logic (Final blows with this weapon grant bonus damage. The strength and duration of the bonus increases when more powerful targets are defeated) |
| Origin Trait | Willing Vessel (Dealing damage or defeating targets with this weapon gradually grants increased stability, handling, reload speed, and charge rate. This effect gradually decreases over time but is gained more quickly while near allies) |
| Masterwork | Reload Speed |
| Mod | Heavy Ammo Finder Enhancement |
For PvE, this Refusal of the Call build focuses on enhancing your damage while reducing enemies’. Ballistic Tuning increases projectile range, and Swap Mag improves deployment speed. The main perks, Sever and Sword Logic, allow you to debuff enemies and boost your damage, ensuring efficient progression through waves of foes.
Sever and Sword Logic are essential. Using your class ability triggers Sever, weakening enemies. Landing kills triggers Sword Logic, increasing your damage output. This combination ensures you slice through enemies effectively while keeping high-value targets debuffed.
PvP Performance of Refusal of the Call
In Crucible, Refusal of the Call excels as a nightmare for opponents, causing frustration among foes.
| Refusal of the Call – PvP | |
|---|---|
| Haft | Ballistic Tuning (Range +15, Shield Duration -10) |
| Magazine | Accurized Rounds (Range +10) |
| Perk 1 | Impulse Amplifier (Massively increases projectile velocity, increases reload speed) |
| Perk 2 | Beacon Rounds (Final blows with this weapon grant your projectiles tracking and increase reload speed. Dealing further damage extends the duration) |
| Origin Trait | Willing Vessel (Dealing damage or defeating targets with this weapon gradually grants increased stability, handling, reload speed, and charge rate. This effect gradually decreases over time but is gained more quickly while near allies) |
| Masterwork | Handling |
| Mod | Targeting Adjuster |
For PvP, this build emphasizes range and projectile speed. Ballistic Tuning and Accurized Rounds increase range, catching opponents off guard. Impulse Amplifier ensures quick projectile speeds, and Beacon Rounds add tracking capabilities upon kills, allowing for chained kills and overwhelming the opposing team.
Combining Impulse Amplifier and Beacon Rounds is crucial. Increased range and speed make your shots hard to dodge. Achieving a kill grants tracking projectiles, leading to rapid follow-up kills. Handling masterwork and Targeting Adjuster enhance usability and tracking, making this build formidable.
