I am wondering if someone can tell me which character and set up I need.
I have seen players jump in the air and start throwing down like bubbling lava on the floor, just wondering what this is?

thats warlock
sunbracers specifically for the exotic
you can do something extremely similar with contraverse hold
slow tulip
Awesome, thank you mate
livid moss
It's a bit more complicated than that, but Sunbracers plays a major role.
First you need to equip Solar Grenade on a Solar Warlock, then equip the Touch of Flame Aspect. When you do that, the lava blobs spawn from the grenade.
Normally it has a lengthy cooldown, but the Sunbracers exotic lets you spam as many as you want for five seconds if you get a Solar melee kill.
If you also equip the Heat Rises Aspect and "charge" a grenade to consume it after the melee kill, that is when it gets really fun.
slow tulip
By consume do you mean just use one?
livid moss
No, I mean hold the grenade button to trigger an alternate animation which "consumes" it.
If you get a Solar melee kill first to get the "Sunbracers Ready" buff, that will simultaneously trigger the five seconds of grenade spam mayhem.
slow tulip
AHH ok perfect, sorry for silly questions relatively new
lament zenith
By consume do you mean just use one?
you consume the grenade, it heals on consumption and lets you fly during heat rises
kills with the solar grenades lets you fly more
livid moss
You don't need to do that every time, but doing it after the Solar melee kill is just a way to get that buff for essentially free.
The Heat Rises Aspect also lets you fire your weapons and use abilities while hovering. Kills while airborne increase the Heat Rises buff duration.
lament zenith
so just use solar grenades, incinerator snap, phoenix dive, heat rises and touch of flame
livid moss
End result? You can cover a large area in lava. Combine with something like the Ashes to Assets armor mod for quick Super generation.
lament zenith
one of the best ad clear builds in the game
livid moss
Oh yes. It's really good for that.
lament zenith
its ok for riven too
slow tulip
Great stuff!! Thanks for all your input, can't wait to test it out!
livid moss
Make sure to pair it with the Ember of Resolve Fragment. That will make your grenade kills heal you too.
lament zenith
i'd also suggest trying out contraverse hold
it has a very similar effect that sunbracers has
livid moss
Do you want to become a miniature sun, or create black holes? Entirely up to you.
slow tulip
Will try both and see what works best for me! I was running stuff yesterday and this dude was doing and I just wanted in on the action
lament zenith
if you need i can link builds for both exotics
slow tulip
That would be great, thank you
livid moss
Roughly 90% of the game can be done with builds which suit your playstyle, so feel free to go nuts.
Oh, also: if you use Sunbracers, I recommend using weapons and armor mods focused around recharging your melee ability.
lament zenith
i'd honestly try using skyburners with it
livid moss
Interesting choice there. Are you thinking Ember of Singeing?
lament zenith
good way to scorch plus it has explosive payload basically
its very good for solar builds
lament zenith
Interesting choice there. Are you thinking Ember of Singeing?
also after looking at the fragment, yes
livid moss
Another thing to keep in mind is that class item armor mods that give you ability energy (Bomber/Outreach/Distribution) are x2 on Warlock.
If you go with Phoenix Dive, try using Outreach for a free 20% melee energy every time you use it.
livid moss
Keep a firm focus on how you want to play when choosing armor mods. That should help.
For example: the Firepower armor mod lets you generate an Orb of Power on grenade kills with a ~1 second cooldown.
That would not do much on its own, but if you combine that with Invigoration on your leg armor, that's a free 10% melee energy for each Orb.
Synergy between armor pieces is key.
