Destiny 2: Lightfall: Strand Finishers

Thread the Needle - Hunter Strand Eververse Finisher

Top Rope - Titan Strand Eververse Finisher

Gossamer Volley - Warlock Strand Eververse Finisher

Strand is fully supported across all existing Subclass-agnostic Finishers as well, such as the default class ones.

Both default and ground impacts had to be created in order to support past and future finishers.

I had the pleasure of coming up with and implementing the Strand damage type into our Finisher language and system, as well as doing the VFX for 3 new Strand finishers, debuting in Destiny 2: Lightfall. I was responsible for creating the look of the cast, impact, and detonation VFX, as well as making sure all previous finishers worked with Strand when a player used a Strand subclass. I also created the props for and did the VFX for Top Rope, Gossamer Volley, and Thread the Needle, three new finishers with animation done by Jonathan Lester, Fotios Eleftheriadis, and Gretchen Grasshoff.
