Mothkeeper's - LoneWardenGaming

Hunter

Mothkeeper's Wraps

This build has a focus on your grenade ability, since the exotic effect changes how your grenade functions. This exotic replaces your grenade ability with “Cage of Loyal Moths”, granting an extra grenade charge, and altering the cooldown period to 73 seconds. Depending on the situation around where the grenade lands, it can have the following effect. When landing near enemies, it will release 2 arc moths that deal great damage and blind enemies. When landing near allies, it will release 2 void moths that grant a void overshield to allies and yourself. If there are allies and enemies in the same space, it will release one of each.

Aspects
Widow’s Silk is a simple but strong aspect that adds another grapple grenade charge. With this build, since the exotic choice here changes your grenade to a moth grenade, having an extra charge helps a lot. With the exotic, your total grenade charges will be 3. Whirling Mealstrom is a very strong choice to help with damage and clearing enemies. Shooting or throwing a stand tangle.

Fragment
Thread of Continuity increase the duration of all suspend, unravel and sever effects applied to enemies. Thread of Generation dealing damage will now generate grenade energy. This will help our survivability with the build and ensuring we have our grapple grenade as much as possible. Thread of Warding will grant Woven Mail when picking up orbs of power. Thread of Isolation multiple precision hits within a couple seconds of each will now apply Sever to enemies.

Weapon Recommendation

Exotic Weapon(s)

Quicksilver Storm

This is a great option for a strand weapon (when the catalyst is complete) that has multiple added extra features. While retaining fire, it will shoot out rockets that deal extra damage. After securing enough kills, you can use the alternate firing mode that acts like a grenade launcher. Getting final blows with the grenade launcher firing mode will create tangles that can be used to deal further damage, or to help traverse with your grapple grenade.

Legendary Weapon(s)

The Immortal

Currently the strongest strand SMG available. Has create perks and stats for both a threadling build, or general.

Until it's Return

A strong strand shotgun should you need to use a exotic heavy. Has great perks available to suit any playstyle

Laser Painter

If you can get good perks on it, this strand linear can be a strong contender for your heavy weapon of choice.

Perk Recommendation

Hatchling // Demolitionist

Any weapon with the above perks will benefit the build. Hatchling is always a strong choice with any strand build thanks to the strand effect damage they They are a great source of additional damage at no extra cost of yourself. Demolitionist is a simply perk that produces grenade energy with any final blow. This is ideal for keeping your grenade energy charged throughout any encounter.
