Why is it important to have matching energy weapons with ur subclass

[wooden notch]

People say like you should use solar weapons on a solar subclass, but why?

[feral sparrow]

you dont have to lol

[wooden notch]

yea ik

but y tho

[feral sparrow]

idk

for void its kinda needed because volatile n stuff but idk about solar?

[ionic cosmos]

some synergy things exist when using weapons that match your subclass

like void weapons being able to use volatile rounds, some solar fragments/aspects interact with solar weapons or even just the scorch from incandescent

not sure about arc outside of ionic trace generation with one of the fragments

but sometimes using a weapon thats powerful on its own is better than going for one that matches your subclass

[faint eagle]

each subclass makes pickups (void breaches, strand tangles, solar firesprites, ark traces, stasis fragments) you get these pickups from killing with abilities/weapons matching with your subclass

(fragments depending) picking these up gets you stuff (devour, woven mail, roaring flames, amplified, ect)

[odd echo]

It’s like buying AirPods for an android, yes they will work but not getting the most out of the features

[junior wraith]

Certain fragments only work with certain elements of weapons (Grenade kills grant volatile rounds to void weapons). You also have access to harmonic armor mods, which are cheaper in cost

[crystal bloom]

Theres not

Its only important to use matching weapons sometimes

[civic moat]

Solar Incandescent weapons charge your melee and class ability

Void weapons are needed for volatile rounds

Arc weapons with Voltshot are nice for raw addclear and backup ability regen

Chill Clip ironically invalidates stasis even with the nerf to it coming S22

And hatchling… kind of sucks

lets be real all you need is Forberance
