In the waning days of Destiny 2's support, a hidden gem has been uncovered by players, one that could have been a game-changer had it been discovered earlier. The Iron Banner Battalion armor set, with its unique set bonuses, has emerged as a formidable force in the game, offering players an unexpected advantage in both PvP and PvE. This discovery, while exciting, also raises questions about the future of the game's balance and the role of the Destiny team in maintaining it.
What makes this armor set particularly fascinating is its ability to refund super energy on final blows while in super. This is a game-changer for PvE, as it allows players to almost fully recharge their super after each cast. The set bonuses are not just limited to super refunds; they also provide additional perks that aid PvP, making the Iron Banner armor set a true all-rounder. However, the true power of this set becomes evident when combined with other exotic items, such as Shards of Galanor and Gathering Storm, which can result in an 80-100% refund of super energy.
One of the most intriguing interactions is with the Warlock exotic Astrocyte Verse. The Dark Blink Seekers generated by this helmet can qualify as super kills, allowing players to refill their super energy without even casting a super. This interaction, combined with an actual super, can regenerate about 66% of the player's super energy. What makes this particularly fascinating is the potential for players to abuse this interaction, as it doesn't require super kills at all.
The question remains: will Bungie nerf this powerful set? The answer, in my opinion, is a resounding no. With the Destiny team on its last legs, providing patches for actual issues, and the focus shifting to other areas, it's unlikely that Bungie will address this powerful set bonus. The game's balance is no longer a priority, and players are left to enjoy the game as it is. However, this raises a deeper question: what does this mean for the future of Destiny 2? Will the game continue to be a shell of its former self, or will players find new ways to push the boundaries of what's possible?
In my opinion, this discovery highlights the need for a fresh start. Destiny 2 has been a beloved game for many years, but it's time to move on. The game's balance is no longer a priority, and players are left to enjoy the game as it is. However, this doesn't mean that the game is dead. Instead, it's time for a new chapter, one that focuses on innovation and creativity. The future of Destiny 2 is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the game will never be the same again.
