Destiny: Rising is an upcoming free-to-play mobile shooter developed by NetEase under Bungie's franchise, blending FPS action with deep RPG and MMO systems in a prequel timeline. While maintaining Destiny's signature gameplay loop, the combat system receives major innovations. Following revelations about dual-wielding mechanics and controller support, recent closed beta tests have unveiled even more exciting combat features. Here's our comprehensive breakdown of Destiny: Rising's combat mechanics.
Lightbearers: Your Core Combat Team
The combat system begins with choosing and developing your Lightbearers. Each hero specializes in one of three roles - tank, damage dealer, or support - for strategic team composition. Instead of juggling multiple weak characters, we recommend focusing on developing three to five core heroes. A well-leveled, properly equipped compact team delivers better performance across all content, from solo missions to competitive PvP matches.
Mastering PvP Combat
Destiny: Rising's PvP modes emphasize quick reflexes and intelligent loadout choices. Effective weapon combos include SMG pairs or hand cannon bursts, while unpredictable movement patterns make you a harder target. Learning spawn points and mastering map layouts will give you the tactical advantage in firefights.
