Can The Luna's Howl Dethrone Zaouli's Bane? | Destiny 2

The Luna's Howl might just be the new best in slot solar PvE handcannon. It has a fantastic perk selection including solar synergy favourites such as heal clip and incandescent but also has the exclusive perk magnificent howl. Which when used correctly can cycle 50% extra damage shots and really pack a punch.
But of course the competition is fierce with Zaouli's Bane being ever popular in recent seasons with a combination of explosive payload and incandescent. While Luna's wont have it beat on incandescent since it is currently not able to be enhanced it can have it beat through hit crit damage and the synergies available here.
Using it with precision synergy options can give some fantastic results, a simple one is the celestial nighthawk to refund super energy at an increased rate. You can also use solar weapon artifact mods effectively here, especially rays of precision which when radiant will cause all solar precision final blows to create an ignition. No need for incandescent and scorch here, simply go straight to the high damage ignition.

this video cooked so hard u gave me 100 scorch stacks and i instantly ignited
-
mag howl and slidshot works great in "at level" content. you can keep mag howl uptime near 100% if you hit your shots
-
I used to have a few different zaoulis crafted, all have incandescent in the 4th but I had one with ensemble for raids/dungeon type shit (cuz i hate the reload), one with pugilist for running sunbracers without heat rises, and the one that I’ve ultimately kept, explosive payload w/ incandescent feels so good compared to lunas heal clip/incandescent. Tho I do like Lunas for my verity’s and starfire builds (heal clip + benevolence)
-
Thanks im def gonna have to try lunas now
-
Still find myself using fatebringer TL explosive/frenzy when I want my heavy exotic on.
-
Just need a hand cannon with EP & RR
-
have both, but its the fell of the trigger which make me like luna more.
-
Early to on level = Luna’s Every aspect of the game = Zaouli’s.
-
Zaouli = Explosive + Incan / OFA, pure big stomping power Its about shooting and things dying. Luna = Heal clip + Incandescent, the trait works as free Demolitionist built in + Heal clip can activate Ember of Benevolente for a really good loop Its about being the best to pair with solar builds
-
Zaoulis more damage, Lunas more survivability
-
I dont raid so i love lunas
-
Luna’s has already replaced Zaouli’s for me. Better reload, better stability and being able to get the healing on any subclass.
-
But sun shot though. If you need ad clear nothing better
-
Honestly I'll run Lunas over Zaolis just cause Zaolis is just 2 goofy for me. Explosive payload or naw
-
I hate it but I don't really like either gun. Hate everything about Zaouli except the perk pool so I dont really use it, and luna isn't too special except for the magnificent perk, but that don't feel good once I start taking it into harder stuff. My personal favorite solar handconnon is Ignious hammer with heal clip & incandescent!
-
Nice video. I tried a few of these rolls and yeah subsistence/mag howl is a pretty fun minigame. I'm not sure if it's good though. Heal Clip is the obvious 3rd column perk choice over Zaoulis. Ember of Benevolence is one of the best fragments so I think it might be worth building into. Luna's is probably one of the better heal clip choices for PVE.
-
I chose Forbearance
-
Bro's whole argument for Luna's is based on the temporary artifact perks, so when that goes in just over 3 weeks what gives it the edge then?
-
Epochal integration is still being slept on.
-
I have both but Luna's is better for me because heal clip in end game content is too good. I noticed Luna hits harder and is way easier for precision shots.
