Solo Riven on Hunter (Destiny 2 Season of the Deep)
Fun and creative clear I decided to go for since I can't find any on hunter from the last couple years. I saw Aegis' video showcasing this GL against Riven, and immediately started brainstorming ways to get enough damage buffs on Hunter to make this solo viable. Took me a little over an hour from first attempt, so very easy. This strategy entirely relies on throwing a magnetic grenade at Eye of Riven and then immediately swapping to solar loadout. The solar loadout has raid mods that refund dodge and grenade under certain conditions that get satisfied by the magnetic grenade. Most of the time I spent was just figuring out where to shoot the tether so that: -Riven was actually tethered -Most thrall were dead so that I could survive -A small group of enemies were still alive so that I could proc one for all. In the end I just got lucky and the Eye of Riven was not part of the tether. He can be part of the tether, but then you just need good rng in the form of nearby, untethered thrall. Damage was not too tight, so there are surely many variations of this. I didn't feel like burning a blessing on an exotic that would be marginally helpful, but some options are Foetracer, Wormhusk, or you can go gambler's dodge with Assassin's Cowl, Dragon's Shadow, Sealed Ahamkara Grasps. I don't think Orpheus works cross-subclass. My setup is pure glass cannon, but maybe you can get away with vorpal and then indiscriminately target everything with the tether. Gambler's dodge opens up firesprite restoration. Field prep does nothing for reserves on this GL, so envious seems to be categorically the correct choice under all circumstances. Without envious, it becomes a little more complicated as you have to be on acrobat/gambler's dodge for radiant. I was on explosive personality, then on dead messenger. That's only because I forgot to save the switch on both loadouts. I'd just recommend farming envious stacks with dead messenger. I was using stasis redirection GL because I wasn't sure if I'd need the extra damage. Lastly, this GL on Warlock might be easier than sunbracers. You just use felwinters helm finisher on anything and then snap a thrall mid way though if you need to extend. The only difference is you want to use the raid mod for generating heavy ammo on grenade kill so you can safely clear final stand with lament or something.
