Destiny 2: all Warlock Dawnblade subclass skills and abilities

The Dawnblade is the Sunsinger's replacement for the Warlock's Solar subclass in Destiny 2. Find out all about it here.

Destiny 2 will bring new subclasses to the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock classes we know from the first game. These are the Sentinel, Arcstrider, and Dawnblade respectively.

Dawnblade will be the new Solar subclass, replacing the Sunsinger. This new subclass does not have a self-resurrection, because Bungie wants you to actually use your Super – and once you see this baby in action, you'll want to use it as often as you can, too. You can learn all about it in our tips for effective Super use in Destiny 2, including control transposition for PC and Xbox.

Scroll down for the full Warlock Dawnblade skill tree and descriptions, or if you're more of a visual learner, check Arekkz's video below – where you can see the class in action, too.

The skill names and descriptions have changed somewhat since reveal, and the text guide below the video was current as of the Destiny 2 beta in July 2017, and will be updated if anything changes when Destiny 2 releases next week.

The skill page's layout is the same as other subclasses, with your Super icon in the middle, and everything else taking shape around it. Your grenade options occupy the top, and the different mobility abilities (jump skills) are at the bottom. You have your two passive skill trees with four nodes each, and this is where things get granular.
