An Insurmountable Skullfort
No revamped Titan Exotic this week either, just the good ol’ Skullfort. This helm remains between a B and low A tier Exotic in PvE, depending on your class setup and needs. Of note is its increased usefulness for Strikers with the recently buffed “Amplify” boosting Super recovery substantially.
As always, Melting Point Sunbreakers love it, and Defenders who are confident in spreading around Force Barrier can’t complain either (though No Backup Plans and Saint-14 are compelling alternatives).
Achlyophage Symbiote

The Symbiote remains one of the most powerful Exotics for Gunslingers; it’s just a shame that doesn’t mean much these days. With its time to fire reduced mightily, its chance for multi-kills in the Crucible is drastically lower compared to that of other “roaming” Supers. Even so, if you’ve got your four targets picked out, an extra Golden Gun shot is still a terrifying sight to behold. Recall too that Sunbreakers can be one shot with a GG bullet.
In PvE, if you’re playing Gunslinger (for fun, I guess?), the Achlyophage Symbiote gets a high B tier. Barring a major buff, the Gunslinger can no longer hang with the other classes; Bungie has created a mechanic (tether) that is too essential to leave out of a team composition. Consider this B a message to Bungie that GS is perilously weak compared to NS in PvE.
Heart of the Praxic Fire
Warlocks are going to have to wait for another Y1 Exotic too. Heart of the Praxic Fire returns, and as always it represents a strong option for offensive-minded Sunsingers. Sunsingers retain a valuable place in the PvE metagame as “oops button” champions, and with this Exotic, they can also launch crazy volleys of Fusion/Solar/Firebolt Grenades, all incredibly strong options for different fights. Just make sure to spec enough Discipline to really make use of it.
With enough supplementary weapon fire, it’s one of the best ways to still make 7 orbs in this game. A low A tier in PvE, and definitely worth trying in PvP. Firebolts may have been neutered somewhat, but with a Touch of Flame and a Viking Funeral, anyone can tell you they’re still worth running from.
