When it comes to the Exotics, players can pair the Well of Radiance Subclass with the Stag Helmet. This Exotic provides a massive damage resistance to players in Destiny 2 when they have their Rift or Well out, thanks to its intrinsic perk in Dearly Departed. They can also increase their chances of survival by using Charged With Light mods for PvE like Protective and Radiant Light.

  • Exotic: The Stag Helmet
  • Gauntlet Mod: Striking Light
  • Chest Armor Mod: Taking Charge
  • Leg Armor Mod: Protective Light
  • Warlock Bond Mod: Radiant Light
