Guardians wielding Prismatic

Prismatic is a fusion of both the Light and Darkness. Prismatic allows the user to combine abilities and Supers from all previously acquired Subclasses, and fill up a Light meter and a Dark meter to activate Transcendence, which will modify a grenadeq to use a Light and Dark element. It was first introduced in The Final Shape.

Gameplay

Subclasses

The Prismatic Hunter is evasive and maneuverable, grappling around the battlefield and leaping to advantageous positions with Ascension. Their starting Prismatic build enables that maneuverability, with Winter’s Shroud providing a handy debuff that Stylish Executioner (which now triggers by defeating an enemy afflicted by any subclass debuff) can activate from, providing easily accessible Invisibility to reposition to wherever you need to be with safety.

The Prismatic Titan excels at disabling enemies to make them easy targets for high-impact follow-ups. Drengr’s Lash, Shackle Grenade, and Diamond Lance are all potent primers for a subsequent Consecration, Thunderclap, or powerful Unbreakable blast. Their starting build allows them to freeze targets with Diamond Lance (which can be created from any ability final blow) and wind up fully charged Thunderclaps to remove the threat from the fight in one fell swoop.

The Prismatic Warlock brings an army to bear, summoning a horde of Bleak Watchers, Hellions, and Threadlings in the blink of an eye. Their starting build lets them lock down entire rooms with Bleak Watcher and Penumbral Blast, and their ability damage (including damage caused by shattering the frozen targets) kickstarts Feed the Void, granting grenade energy to start the cycle anew.

Verbs

Common effects of the Prismatic subclass are:

• Transcendance - When you deal Light-aligned damage (Arc, Solar, and Void) or apply Light-aligned buffs or debuffs, the Light bar on the left fills. When you deal Darkness-aligned damage (Stasis or Strand) or apply Darkness-aligned buffs or debuffs, the Darkness bar on the right fills. Kinetic damage fills both bars at a reduced rate, but that rate increases when either bar is filled. When both bars are full and meet in the middle, Transcendence is available.
  While Transcendent, your melee and grenade energy are instantly refreshed and regenerate more quickly. Dealing damage with a grenade further increases your melee regeneration rate and vice versa. Your weapon damage is slightly increased, and you are more resistant to incoming damage.
