Melee: Knife Trick

Grenade: Healing

Aspects: Knock ‘Em Down, On Your Mark

Fragments: Ember of Torches, Ember of Singeing, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Searing, and Ember of Mercy.

Lucky Pants allows Hunters to deal more damage for a short time while the Solar subclass is chosen for its ability to boost weapon damage with Radiant. The Blade Barrage is the perfect Super for this build thanks to its short cooldown and ability to take out many enemies.

Knife Trick Melee is for dealing with multiple enemies, and Gamblers Dodge Class Ability to recharge Melee. For Grenade, pick the Healing variant so you can continue fighting with enough health.

4) Prismatic Hunter

Melee: Combination Blow

Grenade: Duskfield Grenade

Aspects: Winter’s Shroud, Stylish Executioner

Fragments: Facet of Purpose, Facet of Ruin, Facet of Protection, Facet of Dawn, and Facet of Courage

The Liar’s Handshake Exotic has been picked for this build since it grants 200% bonus melee damage and additional healing. The Super for this class will be Silence and Squall as it significantly helps in slowing down the enemies when combined with the Facet of Purpose fragment.

Gambler’s Dodge is used to recharge the Duskfield Grenade. Keep in mind that landing a final blow with Combination Blow also fully refills your class ability, which then refills your Grenade.

3) Strand Titan

Class Ability: Rally Barricade

Melee: Frenzied Blade

Grenade: Grapple

Aspects: Into the Fray, Banner of War

Fragments: Thread of Generation, Thread of Fury, Thread of Warding, and Thread of Continuity

The perfect Exotic for this build is Synthocep since it increases your melee and super damage and at the same time, increases reloading and handling for weapons.

Bladefury is a good choice as it is the strongest roaming Super for Titans, increasing melee damage and speed to slice any enemy. Sever your targets with Frenzied Blade and use the Grapple grenade for swift movement.
