Episode Heresy introduced multiple new weapons toDestiny 2,which quickly became the best-in-slot for their respective archetypes and elements. For bow users, there’s the Anamnesis Lightweight Frame Void bow that can dominate PvE with endless Void synergy.
This guide covers the definitive Anamnesis god rolls for both PvE and PvP inDestiny 2, alongside a couple of alternative perks, depending on your build and playstyle.
Destiny 2: Anamnesis PvE God Roll
Anamnesis is thebest Legendary Void bow for PvE, especially if you don’t have theFortunate Star from the Solstice event. It’s also a perfect choice if you don’t want to use Le Monarque to save an Exotic slot or simply need more from the primary weapon.
Destabilizing Rounds
Draw Time
Anamnesis features a classic Void perk combination of Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds.Destabilizing Roundsmakes nearby enemies Volatile when defeating a target and grants your Void weapons Volatile Rounds.Repulsor Bracegrants an Overshield when defeating a Void-debuffed target, perfectly synergizing with Destabilizing Rounds. With the latest Destabilizing Rounds buffs that reduced its internal cooldown, it’s a perfect combination for add-clear and survivability.
If you already have a source of Volatile Rounds through the subclass or Exotic armor (like Hunter’s Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk), consider gettingDemoralizein the fourth column. It works similarly to Destabilizing Rounds, but it applies Weaken instead of Volatile to enemies, making them more vulnerable to incoming damage. This allows you to double down on Void debuffs while constantly activating Repulsor Brace for Void Overshields.
However, Anamnesis also allows you to double down on damage perks, which isn’t common for a seasonal weapon.Dragonflyin the third column creates an elemental explosion that matches the weapon’s element (in this case, Void). Dragonfly paired with Destabilizing Rounds ensures the weapon always has AoE capabilities, but you can mix and match the perks, depending on what you prefer.
Destiny 2: Anamnesis PvP God Roll
Unless it’s Le Monarque,bows aren’t widely popular inDestiny 2’s PvP. Anamnesis has a couple of decent perks for you to try out, but don’t expect to easily beat the enemy team armed with hand cannons and pulse rifles.
Moving Target
Accuracy
For dueling, there’sTo the Painin the third column. It grants aim assist and handling when taking damage, maxing out at 20 aim assist with 10 stacks. Archer’s Tempo is another solid perk if you’re confident in your aim.Archer’s Tempodecreases draw time by 25% after every precision hit, allowing for a faster follow-up shot. In the fourth column,Moving Targetgrants 10 aim assist when aiming down sights.
You could also go for a kill-based roll, likeSuccessful Warm-UpwithSword Logic. It’s a powerful combination that decreases draw time by 25% for 3 seconds and increases damage by 15% for 7.5 seconds, but it requires a kill to activate. This means you won’t have any perk benefits for the initial gunfight, putting you at a disadvantage.
How to Get Anamnesis in Destiny 2
Anamnesis drops from theCourt of Blades activityduring Episode Heresy inDestiny 2. It’s a boss rush mode in which you must defeat up to 13 bosses against the clock. The more bosses you defeat, the better the rewards, including a chance to get a shiny variant of the weapon that has an additional Origin Trait and double perks. Completing Court of Blades on Expert difficulty also has a chance of dropping an Adept variant of Anamnesis.
While playing Court of Blades,set up the Tome of Wantto drop the Episodic bow. This allows you to get additional weapon drops by completing activities and defeating tough enemies.
The Heresyseason pass has the god roll Anamnesis with Dragonfly and Destabilizing Rounds on rank 145, so if that’s the combination you’re going after, prioritize leveling up the season pass.
