Best loadouts for Destiny 2 Lightblade Grandmaster Nightfall

Before creating loadouts for the Lightblade, it is important to get accustomed to the modifiers and enemies tied to the mission. Barriers and Unstoppable are the Champions assigned in this Nightfall, with the former being in increased numbers compared to the latter. Surges include Arc and Strand alongside Arc burn. Grenade Launcher weapon types have Overcharged on them.

Based on these modifiers, the following three loadouts can be considered to be the best for Lightblade Grandmaster:

• Phoenix Protocol Well of Radiance Warlock.
• Arc Warlock with Fallen Sunstar or Geomag Stabilizers.
• Invisible Hunter with Omnioculus/ Strand Grapple Hunter.

Weapons should include Wish Ender to counter the Anti-Barrier Champions and one Scout Rifle for Unstoppable. Additionally, this Scout Rifle can take care of trash mobs from afar, paired with the Wish Ender.

Since this article will be following the Lightblade hopping cheese, heavy weapons such as Grenade and Rocket Launchers aren't necessary.

Tips and tricks to cheese the Lightblade Grandmaster in Destiny 2

Here are some tricks to make things easier in each Lightblade Grandmaster run:

• The first section can be skipped without defeating any enemies. All players will need to do is hang back and damage the Lightblade boss with primary weapons (Wish Ender/Scout Rifle). With enough health depleted, the boss will disappear.
• The Grapple/Invisible Hunter can make their way through the first door by avoiding all the enemies, and every mob will despawn once one player passes through the door.
• In the second room, it is recommended to take care of the Barrier Champions and the Hive Guardian at first. Prioritizing on the Acolytes will respawn adds, resulting in enemies overwhelming your team.
• In the Hive Ferry room, you can choose to completely avoid the Hive Guardians for collecting the orb. From the Ferry, hop onto the Acolyte statue and then on the Tower, as shown in the images below.

For the final few tips, follow these steps in the upcoming encounters:

• Just before the boss room, prioritize defeating the Shriekers to send the boss away.
• In the boss room, one player can be assigned to the hopping cheese.
