Learn how to fully unlock Prismatic and realize its full potential with this in-depth subclass breakdown.
Yet where Prismatic starts to differ is in its selection of Fragments.
Some fan-favorites make a return here, while entirely new Fragments have entered the spotlight.
Facet Of Purpose
Grants easy access to strong survivability tools, both in PvE and PvP.
Restoration (Solar) and Woven Mail (Strand) are ideal for most builds.
Facet Of Dawn
Powered melee hits grant access to Radiant, a 25% weapon damage buff.
Facet Of Protection
Provides 15% damage resistance while near 3+ enemies.
Easy to trigger in PvE with high uptime.
More niche pick in PvP but still useful.
PvP Only
Facet Of Blessing
Immediately triggers HP regeneration with melee kills, including uncharged punches.
Also triggers off ranged attacks like Threaded Spike.
Makes 1v2 situations much easier.
Facet Of Solitude
Rapid precision hits Sever targets, reducing outgoing damage by 15% in PvP.
Can be triggered with three headshots on certain Hand Cannons, allowing Hunters to proc Stylish Executioner from neutral.
S+ on Hunter, A- on Warlock and Titan.
A-Tier Fragments
Fragments in this tier are quite powerful and are always worth using.
Some might be surprised to seeFacet of Awakeningin this tier.
Facet Of Balance
Triple kills grant bonus energy.
Light damage grants 10% melee energy, and Darkness damage grants 10% grenade energy.
Solid neutral game Fragment for every build.
Works with weapons and abilities.
Facet Of Courage
Light abilities deal 10% more damage to enemies affected by Darkness debuffs.
Great choice for ability-focused builds like Combination Blow Hunters and Consecration Titans.
Facet Of Awakening
Multikills spawn an elemental pickup of the matching damage key in.
Pickups adhere to spawn cooldowns.
Criminally underrated by most.
This Fragment can spawn every pickup in the game, greatly increasing ability uptime.
Facet Of Mending
Grenade kills grant x1 Cure, increased to x2 while Transcendent.
Solid neutral game Fragment for all builds.
Facet Of Hope
While affected by any keyword, your class ability recharges 60% faster.
A good choice for most Prismatic builds, both for PvE and PvP.

B-Tier Fragments
Don’t mistake Fragments in this tier as being weak or suboptimal.
Facet Of Dominance
Void grenades inflict 15% Weaken.
Arc grenades inflict Jolt.
A must for builds that use either grenade jot down.
Facet Of Bravery
Melee kills grant Unraveling Rounds.
Grenade kills grant Volatile Rounds.
Ideal choice for ability spam builds that use Void and Strand weapons.
Facet Of Ruin
Stasis Shatters are larger and deal more damage.
Solar Ignitions are 20% larger.
Great choice for builds that lean into Stasis or Solar Ignitions.
Facet Of Generosity
While Transcendent, kills generate Orbs of Power.
Turns Transcendence into a diet Super for your team.
S-tier support, but it does nothing for solo players.
Facet Of Grace
Kinetic weapon kills generate 2% Light and Dark Transcendence energy.
While Transcendent, this applies to allies as well.
An excellent choice for Transcendent builds looking to maximize their Transcendence uptime.
Poor option for other builds.
C-Tier Fragments
Now we’re getting to the lackluster options.
If Bungie buffs any of these Fragments, they’d sit firmly in the B tier.
Facet Of Devotion
Defeating targets affected by Darkness debuffs grants 2-5% Light Transcendence energy.
Devotion is better than Sacrifice since it works with weaponsandscales with enemy punch in.
It still remains a niche pick for most builds.
Energy received is low.
It’s only worth using if paired with Awakening and certain Exotics.
Facet Of Sacrifice
While you have a Light subclass buff, ability kills grant 2% Darkness Transcendence energy.
The value is static and doesn’t scale.
You’d need 50 kills to charge your Darkness meter.
Only worth using for auto-loading DPS hotswap loadouts.
Even then, it’s a tough sell.
55 Feathers are waiting for you in the Pale Heart in Destiny 2: The Final Shape.
It’s difficult to find each one of them alone, so here’s our guide!
They don’t excel anywhere and are overshadowed by other options.
Facet Of Justice
While Transcendent, your ability kills trigger explosions.
Explosions deal minimal damage, cover a small radius, and don’t synergize with other Fragments.
Facet Of Defiance
Finishers debuff nearby targets with a keyword matching your Super.
Debuff selection is poor for PvE; it does nothing in PvP.
