You can get all of your Void Fragments atIkora in the Tower. Each ability will cost you 3,000 Glimmer, and each Fragment will cost you 25,000, so maybe stock up at Rahool before you make a purchase. It isvery importantthat you have all parts of the Void 3.0 kit to hand for these builds.
Crafting Your Nightstalker Build
Every build in Destiny has a few key parts, and Nightstalker is no different. Making sure that your Aspects, Fragments, and Mods are correct is important, but also ensuring that you pickthe best weaponsandarmorfor the job isvitalfor a working build.
Nightstalker Aspects
These Aspects are some of themost potent Aspects in the gameacross all classes. The effects they provide are core to every single Nightstalker build out there, and ours here are no exception.
Stylish Executioner
Defeating a weakened, suppressed, or volatile target grants invisibility and Truesight. After performing a Stylish Execution, your next melee attack while invisible weakens targets.
Trapper’s Ambush
Activate Quickfall to spend your melee charge and dive to the ground, creating a large smoke cloud on impact, which then dissipates. Targets caught in the cloud are weakened, and allies are made invisible. Your smoke bomb makes nearby allies invisible when it attaches to nearby surfaces or targets.
Vanishing Step
Dodging makes you invisible.
Void Fragments
Nightstalker has anumber of solid Fragments to choose from, and despite how strong the Aspects are, the Fragments are the real players in these builds. Here are some of our favorites:
Echo of Persistence
Void buffs applied to you (Invisibility, Overshield, and Devour) have increased duration. -10 to the stat that governs your Class Ability
Echo of Starvation
Picking up a Void Breach or an Orb of Power grants Devour. -10 Recovery
Echo of Cessation
Finisher final blows create a burst of Void damage that causes nearby combatants to become volatile. Defeating volatile targets creates a Void Breach.
Echo of Undermining
Your Void grenades weaken targets. -20 Discipline
Echo of Provision
Damaging targets with grenades grants melee energy. -10 Strength
Echo of Remnants
Your lingering grenade effects (Vortex Grenade, Void Wall, Void Spike, and Axion Bolt) have increased duration.
Echo of Obscurity
Finisher final blows grant invisibility. +10 Recovery
Void has a ton of good Fragments, and while you may not see all of them in our builds, every single one listed is a top-tier pick, and almostanycombination of them will prove effective.
Exotic Armor
Nightstalker only has a few exotics to play with, but thankfully, they are some of thebestExotics in the game. Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk and Omnioculus havedominatedthe Nightstalker meta since their respective releases. With these builds, you can have Volatile Rounds practicallyforeverand make your teaminvisible indefinitely. Given how strong invisibility and Volatile Rounds are, it makes sense to center our builds around these two great exotics.
Both of these exotics bring a ton to the table and have pretty differentplaystyleswhich lets you spec your Nightstalker however you like.
Armor Mods
There are plenty of amazing armor mods, but here are some of thebestoptions for our builds.
These mods add atonto our builds, even if they aren’t completely necessary.

Nightstalker Build: Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk Volatile
This first build usesGyrfalcon’s Hauberk’s perk to the maximum. Volatile Rounds are incredibly potent, and when combined with Stylish Executioner, you’re able to dive in and out of invisibility with ease. This build isone of the strongest builds in the gameand one of the few truly endgame builds that focuses on your weapons rather than your abilities. Echo of Cessation and Echo of Starvation work brilliantly together, as defeating Volatile enemies makes a Void Breach, and Echo of Starvation gives you Devour on Void Breach.
This build lets you get away with so much. Invisibility alone is powerful, but when combined with Devour, you arepractically immortal. Furthermore, you can add a Repulsor Brace weapon on top of this to double up on your survivability.
Armor Piece
2x Ashes to Assets, and Void Siphon
2x Firepower and Grenade Kickstart
Resistance mods matching your enemy’s damage
Orbs of Restoration and 2x Innervation
Reaper, Bomber, and Distribution
Make sure to also include stat mods wherever possible toreach the highest Resilience, Mobility, and Disciplineyou can in that order of priority.
This mod setup combined with our Fragment choices will support our deadly weapons through our weakening grenade. Any kill we don’t get with our Void weapon will be done by our grenade, making Orbs of Power in the process.

Nightstalker Build: Omnioculus Smoke Bomb
Omnioculus has been in the meta since it was released. While it may no longer be the sole option for Nightstalkers, it remains one of, if not the best Hunter Exotic in the game. Being able to make your allies invisible constantly is amazing, and these mods will help you.
Ashes to Assets, Heavy Ammo Scout, and Heavy Ammo Finder
Melee Kickstart and 2x Firepower
Resistance Mods matching your enemy’s damage
Reaper, Outreach, and Distribution
Try to fit as many stat mods in as possible, focusing on Resilience, Discipline, and Mobility in that order.
These mods aren’t exactly necessary, but they provide good insurance in case you lose a Smoke Bomb charge. They also allow someaggressive potential with your grenadesas you will make Orbs of Power alongside generating Melee energy. You will also provide Heavy ammo for your team, letting you truly fulfill the support playstyle of this build.
These two builds play quite differently, Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk being more offensive and solo-based, and Omnioculus being more team-oriented and support based. Both are just as potent as each other and will serve you well in all PvE content in the game.
