The best Vex Mythoclast build in Destiny 2

Mythoclast Vex made its triumphant return in Destiny 2 a few months ago inside the Vault of Glass, and while it was exciting to obtain, it felt underwhelming to use and ended up in most Guardian crypts. Players were quick to express their wishes for the legendary exotic, hoping that he would become much more powerful in the seasons to come. It would appear that most players have made their wish in Season of the Lost come true with both a gun buff and the introduction of a meta-definitive artifact mod.

Particle Deconstruction - The foundation of the build

Each new season in Destiny 2 brings with it an artifact that focuses on a certain class of weapons. In Season of the Lost, it's all about fusion and linear fusion rifles, offering mods like Fusion Rifle Loader, Enhanced Linear Fusion Rifle Targeting, Fusion Rifle Scavenger, and even an Unstoppable Fusion Rifles mod for those pesky champions. The big mod available, however, is Particle Deconstruction. Dealing damage to a fighter with a fusion rifle or linear fusion rifle grants bonus damage with a fusion rifle or linear fusion rifle against that fighter for a short time with particle destruction equipped. This effect stacks up to five times. To put it bluntly, with this single mod equipped, Vex Mythoclast achieves a damage buff of around 40% after shooting something five times.

Particle Deconstruction is an easy to obtain mod that only requires you to get 12 unlocks within your seasonal artifact. Players can do this quickly just by playing, but they can be accelerated by farming XP via bounties or the thrallway within the Shattered Throne dungeon. Once unlocked, apply the mod to your class item and get ready to tear apart enemies.

Vex Mythoclast refill with light

While applying particle deconstruction alone will allow you to take out minors like nobody's business, it is possible to further develop this build to allow you to destroy majors and even some bosses in seconds. Let's talk about being charged with light. Charging with light in Destiny 2 is simple once you have the right mods, and while many mods allow it, there is one that synergizes perfectly with Vex Mythoclast. Quick Charge allows you to charge up by quickly defeating opponents with fusion rifles.

Once you are charged with light, high energy fire comes into play. High Energy Fire allows you to deal bonus damage while charged with light, consuming a charge after each kill and further increasing the damage dealt by Vex Mythoclast. The problem may arise that you only have High Energy Fire for two kills until you need to get another double kill, but this is where the Stacks on Stacks mod comes into play. With Stacks on Stacks, you can increase the amount of charge with light stacks you hold down to four, allowing you to continuously chain high-energy fire for practically an additional 20% damage bonus at all times. Quick Charge, High Energy Fire, and Stacks on Stacks can all be acquired through Ada-1 if you don't already have them, so be sure to check her inventory often!

The tip of the damage iceberg

Up to this point, the build has already allowed the Vex Mythoclast to be one of the most powerful weapons in the game, but what if I told you we can go even further? Enter the mods of the elemental wells. We've received these mods since the release of Season of the Chosen, but until now, builds with them were very niche and didn't have a strong place within the sandbox. That has changed this season and two mods, in particular, allow the Mitochlast to deal even more damage.

You will need to start by equipping any solar subclass on any class for this part of the build to work. Then, equip the Elemental Armaments mod; this will allow you to spawn solar wells after getting kills with the Vex Mythoclast. Then, equip the Font of Might mod, which allows any weapon that has the same damage type as the pit you pick up to have more damage, and Vex Mythoclast appears to be solar. This adds another additional damage buff to the weapon. Both elemental weaponry and the source of power can be acquired by leveling up the war table in ELMO

At this point, you are practically a walking tank that smashes any type of enemy in your path. This build will allow you to complete any PvE activity in the game with relative ease, even after dark as a grandmaster, with the addition of unstoppable fusion rifles.
