Building your character is a very important aspect of Destiny 2. Yes, you can focus on playing the game without much thought, but you won’t be able to make much progress if you don’t have an appropriate build for your character. Here’s a breakdown of the major stats and mods that you need to consider while building your character.
Destiny 2 Class-wise stat breakdown
Hunter
Hunters in Destiny 2 are known for theirinvisibility. In fact, most PvP games during the Season of the Risen have a couple of invisible hunters running around all the time. And to have a quick cooldown on your invisibility, you will have to focus on theMobility statof your character. It’s important that you haveat least 90 or aboveon mobility. Not only will you be able to move fast with a high mobility stat, but you will also be able to get invisible quicker.
The second stat to focus on would be yourRecovery. Hunters are known to be glass cannons. So you might not be able to take a lot of hits, but you can definitely go invisible and hide till you recover. Hence, having a high recovery is important. It’s good to get this up to 100 as well, but if you can’t, having a70-80 Recoveryis recommended.
You could focus on getting some points into yourIntellect statas well. The higher your Intellect, the quicker your super regenerates. So try having a score of60-70 on your Intellectand you should be able to get that super in quick. However, with aKinetic Siphonmod, you could start generatingOrbs of Powerwhen killing enemies with yourkinetic weapons. And every time you pick up an Orb of Power, you recover super energy. Thus, you needn’t really focus on the Intellect stat that much.
Mods
The first mods you would want to consider are theMobility Armorermod or theRecovery Armorermod for yourGhost. With these mods, you’ll receive gear with a high Mobility or high Recovery, depending upon the mod you equip. Apart from this, you need to focus on the regular stat mods available on your armor pieces. Consider using these to get a stat boost for the stat you need.

Warlock
Warlocks are basically yourhealersbut with good damage dealing capacity. Since Warlocks depend heavily on theirhealing/empowering rifts, it’s good to have a highRecovery. It’s best if you have a100on your Recovery but maintaining ascore of 80-90 also works. Your Recovery stat score is also tied to thecooldown of your rifts, so the higher the score, the quicker the cooldown.
The second stat you would want to focus on would be yourStrength stat. Having a high score on this stat reduces the cooldown on your melee ability. With the Void 3.0 rework, Void Warlocks are very popular. And themelee abilityon your Warlock activates theDevour perk. With this perk active, you’llrecover health for every enemy you kill.
Finally, you would want to focus on yourDiscipline. This is related to your grenade cooldown. It’s okay if you can’t maintain a very high score on your Discipline. Having a score of50-60is pretty decent for a Warlock build.
Apart from the regular stat mods and the Ghost mods that we’ve previously mentioned, you could use aBomber mod. This mod goes into yourclass item, which is essentially theBondfor a Warlock. This will help you get back your grenades quicker.

Titan
Titans, as the name suggests, aretanks. Not only can a Titan absorb a lot of damage, but they can also dish out a lot of damage too. For this, you would want to focus on yourResilience stat. Having this stat at around100will help you get yourTitan Barricadequicker.
The second stat you would want to focus on will be yourRecovery. A60-70score on Recovery is a sweet spot. Once you’ve done this invest the rest of your points in yourStrengthstat. This will help you use your melee ability faster. Alternatively, you could also focus on yourDisciplinestat if you would rather have your grenades return quicker.
Once again, you would want to focus on your stat mods for a nice little stat boost. Apart from that, you could also focus on theMelee Kickstart arms modif you want to get that melee energy quicker.
And that’s all that you need to take into account while building a character in Destiny 2. But, do take note that this guide isn’t set in stone. If you’re new to Destiny 2, this guide should help you sail through till you have enough experience to try out other stat combinations on your characters.
