Destiny 2: all Warlock Dawnblade subclass skills and abilities
The Dawnblade is the Sunsinger's replacement for the Warlock's Solar subclass in Destiny 2. Find out all about it here.
Destiny 2 will bring new subclasses to the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock classes we know from the first game. These are the Sentinel, Arcstrider, and Dawnblade respectively.
Dawnblade will be the new Solar subclass, replacing the Sunsinger. This new subclass does not have a self-resurrection, because Bungie wants you to actually use your Super - and once you see this baby in action, you'll want to use it as often as you can, too. Try to avoid doing so when I'm on the opposite team in the Crucible.
As part of our Destiny 2 guide, we've got all the details for you. Scroll down for the full Warlock Dawnblade skill tree and descriptions, or if you're more of a visual learner, check Arekkz's video below - where you can see the class in action, too.
The two Dawnblade skill trees are quite different. One seems more about mobility, allowing you to use abilities and weapons while hovering, or even perform a teleport dash in mid-air. The other one is almost entirely focused on Daybreak, the Super.
The skill names and descriptions have changed somewhat since reveal, so the video may vary a little from the text details - but the text below is accurate as of Destiny 2's release.
This page is part of our Destiny 2 class and subclass guides. Check it out for details on the Voidwalker and Stormcaller subclasses, as well as information on how to use your Super effectively and combining class powers to maximise DPS.
The skill page's layout is the same as other subclasses, with your Super icon in the middle, and everything else taking shape around it. Your grenade options occupy the top, and the different mobility abilities (jump skills) are at the bottom. You have your two passive skill trees with four nodes each, and this is where things get granular.
