Destiny 2: Forsaken - all nine new supers and subclass abilities

Destiny 2: Forsaken players will find a new subclass tree when they fire up the expansion, and there are new supers along for the ride.

New subclass trees are available in Destiny 2: Forsaken alongside those already present, providing players with nine additional supers. These supers are proving to be incredibly useful in the Forsaken endgame content and in PvP modes, such as the Well of Radiance.

Below we've summarized what to expect, and Arekkz goes over the information in detail through the video.

If you need help, here's how to unlock new subclass paths and supers with Seeds of Light in Destiny 2: Forsaken.

Destiny 2: Forsaken - Supers and Subclass abilities

Hunter Class

Nightstalker Subclass: Way of the Wraith

• Standard - The smoke bomb slows enemies when caught in the cloud and doles out plenty of damage.
• Perk - Landing a perfect, precision kill will make the Nightstalker turn invisible and they will gain true sight.
• Super: Spectral Blades - Turns the Nightstalker invisible and provides the player with twin void blades. They can then sneak around the battlefield unseen before striking.

Gunslinger Subclass: Way of a Thousand Cuts

• Standard - The Gunslinger's melee move throws out a fan of burning knives.
• Perk - Killing enemies while they are burning will recharge this ability, plus, burning enemies will also recharge the Hunter's dodge.
• Super: Blade Barrage  - Doubles down on the Hunter's knife skills allowing them to dish out some explosive kills. Basically, Way of a Thousand Cuts its an amped-up version of the Hunter's knife abilities.

Arcstrider Subclass: Way of the Current

• Standard - Sliding before dishing out a melee attack causes the player to perform a staff-powered, uppercut strike. Any melee attacks will also increase reload speed.
  Perk - All Arc abilities electrify enemies, and if you go on to melee them after electrified, they will become disoriented. This will also recharge the Hunter's abilities.
• Super: Whirling Guard - Gives Hunters the ability to spin their staff to block incoming projectiles. These will be reflected back at the target, and will triple the damage doled out by the staff afterwards.  In short, use the staff to reflect damage, and then go in and smack enemies around with it.

Sentinel Subclass: Code of the Commander

• Grenade - The grenade ability partially recharges grenade energy for the Titan and nearby allies when the detonators are triggered.
• Super: Banner Shield - Produces a barrier absorbing enemy attacks when holding guard. Allies can shoot through the barrier, making it a good option for boss damage rotation.

  Perk - Picking up ammo while sliding will reload the Titan's weapon and increase damage for a short period of time.
