Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds are a perfect combination, with kills applying Volatile to surrounding enemies and when these debuffed targets go down an overshield is granted to the user. When these perks are rolling, Guardians can feel near invincible when slaying out in almost any activity while using this god roll.
PvP - Fortunate Star god roll
This PvP god roll gets the best out of this bow and when mastered can be a menace for enemy teams to handle.
| Fortunate Star god roll - PvP | |
|---|---|
| Bowstring | Polymer String (Accuracy +5, Draw Time -36) |
| Arrow | Compact Arrow Shaft (Reload Speed +10, Handling +10) |
| Perk 1 | Hip-Fire Grip (while hip firing: Stability +25, Aim Assist +15, 2.7 degree larger precision aim angle, Accuracy Cone size -15 percent, increased Aim Assist falloff distance +20 percent, increased damage falloff distance +20 percent) |
| Perk 2 | Disruption Break (On elemental, barrier, or Guardian shield break: weakens the enemy, increasing Kinetic damage dealt by 50 percent for 5.5 seconds. Stacks with all other debuffs) |
| Origin Trait | Veist Stinger (Hits have a chance to activate Veist Stinger for seven seconds, granting the following bonuses: Refills 25 percent of Magazine from reserves on activation. Decreases Aim Down Sights (ADS) Movement Speed penalty by 10 percent. Grants 15 percent decreased Draw Time to Bows. |
| Masterwork | Draw Time (+10 when fully masterworked) |
| Mod | Freehand Grip (Decreases hip-fire Accuracy Cone size by 30 percent and grants a 0.95x ready animation duration multiplier) |
Pick this up with Polymer String for its must-have increase in Draw Time and Accuracy, ensuring shots can be released at full potency faster and with deadly accuracy. Then move to Compact Arrow Shaft for the extra Reload Speed, this makes arrows ready faster after every shot which can be the difference-maker during a tough duel.

For the main perks, go for Hip-Fire Grip in the first slot. This provides some top-tier boosts when firing from the hip ensuring arrows are sticky. This small difference can be a duel-winner when fighting in close quarters. Finish off with Disruption Break, this gives a large debuff to the enemy when breaking their shield. This can then be taken advantage of by yourself or the team's Kinetic weapons, dealing massive damage with any landed shots.
A worthy mention goes out to Kill Clip which can be lethal on a Bow. This is another strong choice to take over Disruption Break if the focus is on purely slaying teams.
Fortunate Star’s PvP and PvE god rolls are worthy additions to the Solstice loot chase and this Bow is a strong contender for best weapon of the event. To follow the Solstice event and any upcoming Destiny 2 news, check out the Guardian essential Shacknews Destiny 2 complete strategy guide.
