Beseeched by all sides by waves upon waves of darkness fueled atrocities. The guardian has to stand fast against the forces that would take them and the Traveler down extinguishing the light that brings hope to all. The fight against the oblivion takes all forms and it's up to the player to pick how he chooses to stand against the gaping maw of the dark. Here is a list of 10 builds to help (and hopefully entertain) players slay on the battlefield and stem the hordes of gnashing teeth. 

The current Destiny features a much more robust mod system for its armor pieces allowing players to experiment and play around. This allows for creative combinations while seeking the most efficient ways to gain ammo, charge supers, and grenades. In the name of kicking the enemy in the teeth. 

1 Flawless (Not the official build name) 

This build makes you a damage output GOD on the battlefield; with focus on charging up your grenades through cleaver use of melee... Not to mention the quick access to supers. Bring the dark light to the enemy shine the hard light in their faces before blasting them away.

2. King of the Deep

This build requires two exotics yes two slots you have to use, but when you do... You dominate PVE.

Charge up your grenades through the use of your weapons and passive stats;  take the battle towards the chaotic menace.

5. Suncarlo 

Some combinations are made in heaven. This exotic combination was probably made in the heart of a star that burns with hatred for the darkness.

An exotic pairing that takes great advantage of the Stormcallers subclass. Quickly gain energy for your explosives to bring down hordes of enemies. The exotic pairing also is great for PvP as you fall your fellow guardians in the crucible. Bring the pain and the thunder as you fill that super up quick and lash out the lighting from your fingertips. 

• Combines Montecarlo and Crown of Tempests.

7. Gather Storm (not the official name) 

One of the most entertaining builds available for Stormcaller class is this monster right here. Massive damage output, with the wielding of the right weapon added to the quick energy collection for all three gauges (grenade, melee, super). This build just oozes awesome damage to the surrounding area. Mods are “enhanced” to take a while to find but worth it. 

• Requires enhanced Mods. 
• Uses the Crown of Tempests exotic. 
• Makes quick work of boss level threats. 
• Amazing for PVE.

8. Endless Lightning and Chaos 

This particular build requires some work... but it's so much fun. It builds around Thunder lord and Geomag. These two exotics work with one another to charge up your super. It’s a quick character that dishes out a lot of damage since your heavy will now become your main. Dominate the battlefield with a hail upon hails of arc bullets.  

• Build around two exotics. 
• Regular mods so not a lot of extra work to find. 
• Great for both PvE and PvP.

9. Unlimited Void 

A build that will make the Warlock character more like a vampire.The subclass as the forefront of the build, using the exotic as a fantastic charger for all abilities. Have fun devouring the enemies and in turn using their essence to power up your abilities.

10. YOUR OWN

Take a moment to break from instructional manuals and how too videos. Destiny mods offer you a chance to build around yourself; use a weapon you like or a subclass. It's fun to learn to pair, stack, exploit for your fun and benefit. Sure, builds are great as a guide and even a goal; but a lot of people won't have the requirements, so modify, adapt overcome and most of all have fun. 

• Take advantage of your available mods. 
• Use your favorite exotics to build around. 
• Modify for ammo drop, energy build, health regens. 
• Build around your favorite subclass for the greatest advantages.
