Reload and heal with one dodge. Keep Radiant through throwing knives and Solar defeats, then line up Still Hunt shots and a Blade Barrage when the opening appears.
Marksman's Dodge · Burning Souls
Blade Barrage · Healing Grenade
Marksman's Dodge handles reloads; Wormhusk Crown adds Cure on class ability activation. Rapid Solar final blows build Burning Souls, improving Solar ability damage and dodge healing and extending that healing to nearby allies.
Ember of Torches supplies Radiant through powered melee hits. You keep the reload dodge rather than switching to Acrobat's Dodge for Radiant.
The two-piece bonus improves Solar weapon handling, reload speed, and flinch resistance after healing. The four-piece bonus heals on rapid Solar final blows. Together with Wormhusk, this favors a repeatable recovery-and-fire loop.
Still Hunt charges its own Golden Gun-style shots through precision hits and Orb pickups. Blade Barrage remains your separately equipped class Super.
Hit a combatant with Knife Trick to scorch and activate Torches' Radiant. Singeing speeds dodge recharge from scorch. You need a charged knife; a normal unpowered melee is not the same trigger.
Knock 'Em Down refunds the throwing knife on its final blow while you are Radiant. It is a kill condition, not a refund for every hit. Without that kill, wait for recharge rather than expecting Marksman's Dodge to restore melee energy.
Solar final blows extend active Radiant/Restoration through Empyrean and support the rapid-kill conditions of Burning Souls and Cauterize. Use your primary for routine enemies when sniper ammo is scarce.
Use Marksman's Dodge to reload and trigger Wormhusk Cure before committing to more fire. Healing activates Lustrous weapon utility. Dodging is a recovery tool, not invulnerability or a permanent Restoration effect.
Land precision hits and collect safe Orbs. At a full weapon meter, use alternate weapon action to ready its Golden Gun shots. The meter is separate from Blade Barrage; avoid dodging blindly in the middle of its special firing sequence.
Throw Blade Barrage from a clear angle, then return to Still Hunt and the Heavy. Use Healing Grenade when you need Restoration; Empyrean only extends buffs already active. At a boss without adds, plan for expiring buffs and reduced kill-based recovery.
The default Legendary primary is Kinetic, so its kills do not feed the Solar-only set/helmet triggers or Empyrean. Do not waste all Special/Heavy ammo trying to force continuous Solar kill chains in easy content.
Knock 'Em Down / 2 slots: Enhances Solar Supers, including extra Blade Barrage projectiles. While Radiant, throwing-knife final blows fully refund melee energy.
On Your Mark / 3 slots: Class ability activation or precision hits grant reload speed and Weapons stat to you and nearby allies, stacking up to ten. Final blows at ten stacks Cure you.
Five fragment slots total. Still Hunt precision play suits On Your Mark, but do not assume one dodge instantly grants the maximum stacks; use the current HUD.
Powered melee attacks against combatants make you and nearby allies Radiant. -10 Grenade. This is why you can keep the reload dodge.
Scorching targets speeds class ability recharge. Knife Trick provides the dependable setup; ordinary Still Hunt hits are not automatically scorch.
Solar weapon/ability final blows extend your active Restoration and Radiant. -10 Health. It does not create Restoration from Wormhusk's instant Cure.
Radiant and Restoration applied to you last longer. Healing Grenade starts Restoration; dodge Cure is a different effect.
Solar Super projectiles gain stronger target acquisition. +10 Super. Helps the Blade Barrage plan; it is not a guaranteed hit or a generic sniper aim bonus.
Burning Souls: Class ability activation grants Cure. Rapid Solar final blows grant stacks that increase Solar ability damage, strengthen dodge healing, and spread the healing to nearby allies.
Use its baseline dodge healing even when no adds are available. Stack-enhanced healing and ability damage require the Solar-kill condition; exact stack values and durations are not assumed.
Solar Special sniper. Orbs and precision hits charge Cayde's Retribution. At full charge, alternate weapon action enables Golden Gun shots. Its charge does not require changing Blade Barrage to Golden Gun.
Source: Wild Card Exotic quest. The current entry lists optional Lucky Shot: reload after a precision final blow to make precision hits refill a round from reserves. No catalyst is required for this guide's dodge/healing loop.

Receiving healing temporarily grants Solar weapons increased flinch resistance, handling, and reload speed. Dodge Cure and other healing sources support this weapon-comfort bonus; it is not a direct weapon-damage bonus.
Rapid Solar final blows heal you. This is a separate rapid-kill condition from Wormhusk's baseline dodge Cure. Use actual set-bonus-enabled Lustrous pieces, not just their ornaments.
No Exodus Down charge-healing or charge-damage-resistance bonuses are active here. Armor Charge below powers Solar Weapon Surge only. Lustrous's healing and handling bonuses are not a reason to ignore cover or resistance mods.
| Weapon / slot | Perk pair | Role / source context |
|---|---|---|
| Blast Furnace (refreshed)Kinetic · Kinetic slot · Primary pulse | Kinetic Tremors + Chaos Reshaped | Updated 2026 roll for everyday fire and safer range; source lists Arena Ops. Kinetic kills do not count for Solar-only healing/stack triggers. |
| Midnight Coup (BRAVE)Kinetic · Kinetic slot · Primary hand cannon | Explosive Payload + One for All | Established primary alternative from the BRAVE pool. Replaces Blast Furnace; the two cannot occupy the slot together. Also does not feed the Solar-only triggers. |
| Apex Predator (reprised)Solar · Heavy · rocket launcher | Reconstruction + Bait and Switch | Established boss Heavy from Last Wish. Damage with all three weapons for Bait and Switch; use rockets away from nearby terrain and allies. Check the reprised roll, not legacy copies. |
100 Grenade / 150 Class / 50 Melee / 100 Super. A 400-point planning spread across the focus stats, prioritizing the reload/heal dodge and keeping Healing Grenade and Blade Barrage practical.
Gearing order: Class/Grenade toward 100, Super toward 100 and Melee toward 50, then Class toward 150. Final totals include Torches -10 Grenade, Empyrean -10 Health, and Beams +10 Super. Preserve Health/Weapons and resistance mods. Above 100 is not another identical recharge tier; no stat target promises permanent dodge, infinite Cure, or faster Still Hunt charge by itself.
Monument of Triumph / reviewed 24 October 2026. The Still Hunt plan: ordinary Solar sniper precision fire adds Scorch and builds sniper bonuses, while Orbs supply Radiant and Shieldcrush rewards that buff. Solar Fulmination improves actual Ignitions, not Blade Barrage just because it is Solar.
| Slot / tier | Perk | Trigger / practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 / T1 | Incendiary Rifle Rounds | Solar sniper precision hits add Scorch. This supports ordinary Still Hunt precision fire; do not assume every special firing mode counts identically. |
| 2 / T1 | Energy Diffusion Substrate | Adds a small amount of combatant damage resistance, not immunity. |
| 3 / T2 | Radiant Orbs | With a Solar or Prismatic subclass, Orb collection grants Radiant; it is not an ally-buff application by itself. |
| 4 / T2 | Solar Fulmination | Improves your Ignitions and their radius. Scorch alone is not an Ignition. |
| 5 / T2 | Counter Energy | Your own or a fireteam member's Champion stun returns energy to your least-charged ability. |
| 6 / T3 | Sniper's Meditation | Sniper hits build a temporary sniper damage, stability, and reload bonus. Missing or waiting out its duration interrupts the rhythm. |
| 7 / T3 | Shieldcrush | Radiant or Amplified improves grenade recharge/damage; Woven Mail, Frost Armor, or a Void Overshield improves melee recharge/damage. It grants neither buff itself. |
Do not assume every special Still Hunt firing mode inherits every sniper trigger. Shieldcrush helps Healing Grenade recharge but does not turn it into a damaging grenade. Orb Radiant does not apply Radiant to nearby allies.
Check Radiant Barrier behavior with the actual firing mode and any other counter. Keep independent Overload and Unstoppable options; Scorch alone is not a stun.
Check the activity's required types and your current in-game counter tooltips. No old seasonal auto/pulse/hand-cannon perk is assumed just because it existed in the original artifact.
Alternative direction: Implement of Curiosity offers a broader Radiant/Shrapnel support route, trading away the dedicated sniper pair.

| Slot | Mods | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Kinetic Siphon Solar Siphon Special Ammo Finder | Matching weapon multikills generate Orbs; Finder supports Still Hunt. Orbs also help its weapon meter. |
| Arms | Heavy Handed Focusing Strike Impact Induction | Powered melee final blows generate Orbs; qualifying melee damage supports class/grenade energy. Respect proc cooldowns, not one Orb per knife projectile. |
| Chest | Concussive Dampener 2× encounter-matched resistances | Fit actual incoming damage; healing cannot prevent every lethal hit. |
| Legs | Solar Weapon Surge Recuperation Insulation | Solar weapon damage, Orb healing, and class energy on Orb pickup. Surge consumes Armor Charge over time; this set does not heal from charge shifts. |
| Class item | Reaper Powerful Attraction Outreach | Next weapon final blow after dodge creates an Orb. Dodge gathers nearby Orbs and returns some melee energy; Outreach is not Gambler's Dodge or a guaranteed full knife refill. |
