Elemental Wells are a Combat Style mechanic in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Destiny 2☂. Introduced in Season of the Chosen, these Wells grant ability energy when picked up. They behave similarly to Orbs of Power, and they can be altered through the use of Combat Style mods. These mods range from allowing your grenades to spawn Elemental Wells to granting a damage buff when grabbed.

Bountiful Wells

Destiny 2 Bountiful Wells

Bountiful Wells: Elemental well mods that cause you to spawn elemental wells can now stack, spawning additional wells for each additional copy of the mod you have equipped.

Affinity

Solar

Cost

2 Energy

Effect

Well-generating mods can now stack꧑, spawning an additional Elemental Well per stack.

Unlisted in the mod's description, Bountiful Wells will cause all Well-spawning mods to create two Wells instead of just one, even if you don't 🧸have a duplicate mod equipped. When you equip copies of a mod, it'll add an additional Well for each copy, up to a maximum of four additional Wells. Stacking the Bountiful Wells mod does nothing.

Elemental Armaments

Destiny 2 Elemental Armaments

Elemental Armaments: Weapon takedowns with a damage type that matches your subclass element have an escalating chance to spawn an elemental well.

Affinity

Universal

Cost

2 Energy

Effect

Matching elemental we🦩apon kills can spawn Elemental Wells. ౠWells have a 10% chance to spawn per kill that stacks until a Well is formed.

Elemental Armaments behaves similarly to Charge Harvester. Every kill has an escalating chance to spawn an Elemental Well. It takes around eight kills on average to spawn a Well, tougher enemies granting more progress. You'll need to use a weapon that matches your subclass element. Stasis users should consider usin🧸g Kinetic weapons with Osmosis to expand their options.

Elemental Charge

Destiny 2 Elemental Charge

Elemental Charge: Become Charged with Light by picking up an elemental well. If the elemental well's element type matches your subclass element, you gain 2 stacks of Charged with Light.

Affinity

Universal

Cost

2 Energy

Effect

Elemental Wells grant Charged with Light stacks. Wells that match your♏ subclass grant double the stac꧑ks.

If you have the Stacks on Stacks mod equipped, a matching Elemental Well grants four Charged with Light stacks, not three. Grabbing a non-matching Well will only grant two Ch♎arged with Light stacks. You can use this mod combination to maintain effects like High-Energy Fire much more easily.

Elemental Light

Destiny 2 Elemental Light

Elemental Light: Defeating a combatant with your Super spawns an elemental well that matches your subclass energy type.

Affinity

Universal

Cost

1 Energy

Effect

Super kills spawn Elemental Wells

As with other Well-generating mods, Elemental Light can only make one Elemental Well every couple of seconds. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Your Super needs to be able to dama𒉰ge 🅷enemies to generate Wells.

Supers That Don't Work

  • Shadowshot
    • Only direct arrow impacts and explosions caused by deceased tethered enemies will spawn Wells.
  • Well of Radiance
    • Only the sword plunge animation can spawn Wells.
  • Ward of Dawn

Stasis Supers arඣe extremely inconsistent. Most of these ﷽Supers kill enemies with shatters instead of Super damage.

Elemental Ordnance

Destiny 2 Elemental Ordnance

Elemental Ordnance: Defeating a combatant with a grenade spawns an elemental well that matches your subclass energy type.

Affinity

Universal

Cost

3 Energy

Effect

Grenade kills spawn Elemental Wells

Grenades can only spawn an Elemental Well once every couple of seconds. ဣAny grenade that 🅠deals persistent damage over an area, such as a Vortex Grenade, works best with Elemental Ordnance.

When paired with Elemental Charge, this gives your abilities a means of generating stacks of Charged with Light, making for powerful synergies with mods like Firepower, Heal Thyself, an⛎d Energy Converter. Warlocks, in particular, can take full advantage of 🌼this mod with Contraverse Hold or Verity's Brow.

Elemental Shards

Destiny 2 Elemental Shards

Elemental Shards: Stasis shards count as Stasis elemental wells for you. Does not apply to Crucible, Trials, or Iron Banner.

Affinity

Stasis

Cost

2 Energy

Effect

Stasis Shards count as Stasis Elemental Wells♍. Has a 5-second cool💎down between each shard pickup.

While the mod's description makes it sound downright ꧂overpowered, there are two things keeping Elemental Shards in check:

  1. It doesn't work in PvP.
  2. There's a 5-second cooldown between each pickup.
    1. Shown in-game as a debuff called "Elemental Shards Cooldown."

In essence, this mod will allow one Stasis Shard you grab to count as a Stasis Well every five seconds. You do not gain additional ability energy from this Shard. Grabbing a Stasis Shard with this mod will only grant 10% melee energy—168澳洲幸运5开奖网:20% with Whisper of Hunger equipped—and activate any Elemental Well mods on your armor. Seeking Wells does not work with Sta🔜sis Shards while this mod is equipped.

Elemental Time Dilation

Destiny 2 Elemental Time Dilation

Elemental Time Dilation: Elemental Well mods that grant you time-limited benefits can now stack, increasing the duration of the effect for each copy of the mod you have equipped.

Affinity

Stasis

Effect

You can now stack Elemental Well mods that grant a time-limited buff, increasing the ꦚduration of the effect.

Not listed in the mod's d🍎escription, Elemental Time Dilation extends the duration of time-sensitive buff effects on its own. You can't stack Elemental Time Dilation on itself; you'll need to stack the mod that grants the time-limited buff.

Enduring Wells extends the duration of Elemental Wells you create. For clarity, this mod only affects the duration of the Elemental Well itself, not any buff effects that well grants.

Explosive Wellmaker

Destiny 2 Explosive Wellmaker

Explosive Wellmaker: Rapidly defeating combatants with explosive damage spawns a Solar elemental well.

Affinity

Solar

Cost

3 Energy

Effect

AoE multikills can spawn Solar Elemental Wells.

Explosive damage ꦡconsists of anything that deals damage over an area (known as AoE damage by most).

What Works With Explosive Wellmaker

A few notable sources of ✤explosive damage include:

Weapon

Note

Grenades

Persistent grenades are best for spawning Wells.

Solar Ignites

Any source of Ignite can spawn a Solar Well

Xenophage

Any kill from Xeno spawns Wells.

Sunshot

On-kill explosions count.

Ticuu's Divination

Sacred Flame explosions count.

Graviton Lance

Black Hole kills count.

Grenade Launchers

Any GL works.

Rocket Launchers

Any Rocket Launcher works.

Dragonfly and Firefly

The perk must land the final blow for it🔯 to count.

Explosive Exotics

Chromatic Fire, Bombardiers, and Sev๊erance Enclosure🐲 can all spawn elemental Wells.

The only notable exception to this is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warmind Cells. These do not spawn Solar Elemental Wells at all, regarౠdless of how many enemies they kill.

Spawning a Well with this mod seems to be highly dependent on hไow many enemies you rapidly defeat. The more enemies you kill with Solar AoE damage a short timespan, the more likely a Solar Elemental Well will spawn.
