While it’s certainly a positive to receive steady maintenance and upkeep, there are potential cons for live service games. Some fall prey to excessive grinding that proves unrewarding, long lull periods between major content drops, and the general fear that the player base will flock to the next best thing. Fortunately for Bungie, they’ve remained strong in continuing to evolve 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2 and have reaped the rewards.
The Destiny franchisꦫe has seen many changes ove🧸r its seven years of existence, including a full sequel, several major expansions, compelling narratives, and even switching to a free-to-play model. With the next big expansion, The White Queen, it’s as good a time as any to analyze who exactly the best characters are in Destiny 2.
Updated May 25, 2022 by Avery Lawrence Feyrer: There are many interesting characters that help shape the lore in the universe of Destiny. We've updated this post to include a few more iconic figures that appear throughout Destiny 2.
13 Saint-14
There have been many notable Titans throughout the history of the Lost City, but none more than Sainꦰt-14. Once the right-hand of the Speaker, Saint-14 was the first Titan Vanguard of the City and one of the strongest Titans in existence. Following the exile of the disgraced Osiris, Saint-14 dedicated mu𓆏ch of his life to fighting against the Fallen, until he disappeared trying to stop Osiris from awakening the Vex on Mercury.
The Titan almost met his demise on Mercu🎉ry and at the hands of🉐 the Vex when he had his Light stripped away but was ultimately saved by the Guardian after they time-traveled to the planet. Since his rescue, Saint-14 has once again returned to the Tower and has served as the overseer of the Trials of Osiris, a special event in the Crucible for Guardians to hone their skills for the upcoming war against darkness.
12 Savathun
Otherwise, known as the Witch Queen, Savathun is the te🍃rrifying sister of Oryx, the Taken King, and Xivu Arath, the God of War. Also labeled a god of the Hive, Savathun corrupts the minds of her enemies and feeds off of their confusion and torment. Compared to her siblings, Savathun is stronger than Oryx, but a bit weaker than Xivu.
Sav🅘athun was thrust into the limelight with the Witch Queen DLC that launched in February 2022. Since the demise ✱of Oryx, Savathun has been plotting her revenge with her command of the Hive. Through her devious scheming, she bewitched Osiris and used him against the other Guardians in her quest for revenge. Ultimately, her powers weren't enough, as the Guardians were able to defeat her, though, the Traveler keeps her Ghost, which means Savathun could be resurrected in some way, shape, or form down the road.
11 Eris Morn

Once a deadly hunter, Eris Morn is now the sole survivor of a mission gone wrong trying to assassinate Crota, the vicious son of Oryx and prince of the dre🔯aded Hive. Despite her failure, she's hellbent on destroying the Hive leader and helping the Guardians accomplish this task.
After the defeat of the Taken King, Eris Morn continued investigat𒅌ing the Hive's activities. During her travels, she discovered the incoming threat of Savathun and warned the Vanguard of the approaching darkness. Eris Morn was first found in the Tower, but 🔯fled once the Cabal attacked the Tower; she can now be found on the Moon.
10 🐓 Dominus Ghaul
The leader of the Cabal, Dominus Ghaul was the🥀 main villain of the Destiny 2 campaign. Ghaul laid siege upon the Guardians and attempted to steal the Light power from the Traveler. Ghaul believed that his race of Cabal was more deserving of the Traveler’s power and favor than the current group of Guardians.
Although Ghaul was ultimately deemed a villain, it could be argued that he was simply misunderstood in the beginning. He wanted the best for his people and it was the Consul who, in the end, killed the Speaker, which prompted Ghaul to take aꩵ more aggressive approach. Ghaul and his Red Legion proved to be a f🍃ormidable opponent that kicked off the sequel in an explosive way.
9 Osiris
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:A former Vanguard Commander, Osiris was an exceptional Warlock that was, unfortunately, exiled from the Lost City because of an unhealthy obsession with the Vex. The exiled Warlock ventured to Mercury to continue studying the Vex and discovered the Infinite Forest. There, Osiris uncovered a devious plot by the Vex tꦰo amass an army from both past and future to take over the solar system.
In the first major expansion for Destiny 2 titled Curse of Osiris, the Guardian must rescue the Warl🌸ock from Mercury and put a stop to the Vex. Osiris plays a deeper role in the Destiny lore, as the Warlock was the mentor of the current Warlock Vanguard, Ikora Rey.
8 Mara Sov
The queen of the Awoken, Mara Sov is getting p🌜ushed more and more into the spotlight. With the White Queen expansion, Guardians wil꧃l be working with Sov on various missions to help bring justice from the fateful Endless Night. The White Queen expansion isn't the first time the Awoken queen plays a major role, as she was featured in the original Destiny base game and two expansions, House of Wolves and The Taken King.
Sov has always remained a strong ally to the Guardian, as long as she can counꦇt on their assistance if she requires it. She was instrumental in the Reef opening up to the Guardians and looks to once again be a focal point in Destiny 2 going forward.
7 �🐲� The Traveler/The Speaker
Nearly everything about the Traveler is shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain: without it, humanity would still be kicking rocks and playing with sticks. Afterဣ being discovered on Mars, the Traveler’s powers helped propel the human race into a Golden Age of exploration and eventual dominance in the solar system. The Traveler is the source of the Guardians’ power and also the creator of Ghosts.
The Speaker acts as the mouthpiece of the Traveler. For anyone seeking an audience with the Traveler must convene with the Speaker. In Destiny 2, Dominus Ghaul and his Red Legion took the Speaker hostage in their assault on The City. Sadly, the Guardians were unable to rescue the Speaker in time before he died from injuries sustained while being interrogated by Ghaul. Interesting tidbit: the voice actor for the Speaker is Bill Nighy, famous for his roles ෴in Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
6 Shaxx
For players looking for the classic multiplayer game modes, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:look no further than the Crucible. Operated by Lord Shaxx, the Crucible offers six-on-six game modes that reward players with various weapons and armor. While it would seem right to assume Shaxx would be a cold-hearted person as the Cruღcible Overseer, he’s actually one of the more supportive characters in the game🌜.
Shaxx is always the first to congratulate you for performing well in the Crucible and is more than happy to provide quality gear items to Guardians. Even though Shaxx is a Titan and most classes only show respect to their own kind, he welcome꧂s everyone and strives to make them better.
5 Xûr
Arguably the most unusual character in the Destiny franchise is Xur, Agent of the Nine. Of the Jovian species, Xur comes from a part of the solar system that, more or less, remains mostly unexplored by Guardians. The mysteriou🌞s being appears in random locations every weekend in reaꩲl-time to offer exotic weapons and armor pieces to Guardians.
At first, a symbol would appear near Xur’s location, but that has since been removed from the game, making it that much more difficult to find him. Guardians exchange Legendary Shards to acquire raﷺre items from his inventory, a change from Strange Coins in the first Destiny. Not much is known about Xur, other than h♒is apparent desire to strengthen Guardians - but hey, we aren’t ones to complain.
4 Ikora Rey
There are three Guardian classes in Destiny 2: Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters. Ik💜ora Rey is the Warlock Vanguard, indicating she’s one of the most skilled Warlocks in💟 the game. Rey’s ascension to the Vanguard position might have to do with her tutelage under the legendary Osiris. In the Red War, Rey nearly died fighting against the Cabal.
Since the end of the Red War, Rey has played a 𝓰pivotal role in restoring peace in the solar system and preventing future catastrophes. Rey’s past was pushed front and center in the first major Destiny 2 expansion when🎃 the Guardian had to rescue her former mentor on Mercury.
