Improved teleports that increase your Super Ability’s uptime, strong debuffs, extra team sustain and more make this Warlock build a nasty option for PvP. This build will get you up close and personal with the enemy team, so bring your favorite shotgun/rifle.
We’ll be doing a general overview of the best Void Warlock PvP build in Season 23. If you want to get into the specific armor mods and subclass abilities of this build, we highly recommend watching Apoxy’s Blinklock video:
Void Warlock Gear
TheAstrocyte Versehelmet is the main crux of this build since it lets you blink further and more frequently while making nearby enemies “Volatile”. Verse’s buffs – which stretch out your Super’s duration – counterpopular melee buildsby having more damage in danger-close situations (and a solid exit strategy).
That said, teleporting all over the place can be slightly disorienting, so some practice is warranted with the Blinklock.
