There are many ways to build one's Guardian in Destiny 2 in 2025, and that's because Bungie has been investing in buildcrafting and build customization a lot over the past few years. This can be seen in the way Destiny 2's Arc subclasses were buffed in Heresy, the changes to Stasis to bring it more in line with 3.0 elements and Strand, the addition of Prismatic, the balance passes to Exotics, and more. Even though Heresy doesn't add new Exotic armor pieces to the game, existing ones have been changed to become much better, and with Arc receiving massive buffs, one build that was dominating the meta in The Final Shape is now even stronger.
