The Prismatic Subclass

The Final Shape introduces three new Light-based supers for each of the Guardian classes: "Twilight Arsenal" for Sentinel Titans, where they throw three Void axes at enemies which can be picked up by other Guardians from the ground; "Song of Flame" for Dawnblade Warlocks, where they imbue themselves with Solar energy to unleash unlimited powered melee attacks and grenades, similar to the Sunsinger Solar subclass in the original Destiny (2014); and "Storm's Edge" for Arcstrider Hunters, where they throw an Arc dagger at enemies and then teleport to it to unleash a spin attack.

In addition, the expansion introduces a sixth subclass called "Prismatic", which combines both Light and Darkness powers together, allowing players to mix and match abilities and supers from the other five subclasses (Void, Solar, Arc, Stasis, and Strand). The Prismatic subclass introduces two meters that fill when damaging and defeating enemies with either Light or Darkness abilities; when both meters are fully charged, players can activate a super-like ability called "Transcendence", which grants supercharged melee and grenade regeneration, increased damage resistance, and increased weapon damage. Players can also unleash unique grenades of combined elements depending on their class while Transcendence is active —Electrified Snare (Arc and Strand) for Titans, Freezing Singularity (Void and Stasis) for Warlocks, and Hailfire Spike (Solar and Stasis) for Hunters. Prismatic also features an increased number of Aspect and Fragment slots compared to the other subclasses.
