Eyasluna

For complete perks, see d2gunsmith.com, light.gg or destinytracker.com.

Eyasluna is a 140 RPM Legendary Stasis Hand Cannon in the Kinetic slot. It’s available from the final encounter in the Grasp of Avarice Dungeon, added to Destiny in December 2021. It was originally available, and much sought after, in Destiny 1 often referred to as a “mini Hawkmoon” not only because of the look but the name itself. “Luna”… well that’s an exercise for the reader 😉

Eyas: A young hawk, especially (in falconry) an unfledged nestling taken from the nest for training. - lexico.com

It’s a phenomenal weapon with multiple excellent perk pairings and readily available from farming the Grasp boss. I was able to obtain thirty rolls in the first week that it was available.

PvP Thoughts#

With how much hype there is surrounding Eyasluna there’s no shortage of (often-conflicting) content. This is a Good Thing(tm) because it means in this case, Bungie is doing a great job producing perks where, in spite of what many will tell you, there is no clear winning combo for all players and all play styles. There’s two different perspectives I’d suggesting watching/listening to:

• Eyasluna is ELITE and the God Roll isn’t what others say it is (FULL REVIEW) - CoolGuy * Is Eyasluna’s God Roll a Disappointment? - Drewsky

…and a whole bunch of others that you can have on when you’re driving or otherwise looking for background Destiny talk 🙃 This list will undoubtedly grow over the coming weeks as people have a chance to get their hands on varying rolls for testing.

• Eyasluna GOD ROLLS Review (MEH) - Aztecross * Destiny 2 - The TWO TAP Eyasluna Is INSANE! - Destiny Fun Police * Eyasluna, Fatebringer, Palindrome: Which one is King of the Crucible? - Gleauxx * Eyasluna - Better Than Palindrome? - TrueVanguard * The Secret God Roll for Eyasluna in Destiny 2 PVP - TrueVanguard

The decision tree for me comes down to one thing: Rangefinder. Rangefinder increases the Zoom factor and if you’re OK with that change in perspective, then you should strongly consider running Rangefinder. If you equip a roll with Rangefinder and find that it feels “off” then well, it’s not for you and that’s 100% OK. If it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it!. You’re not missing out on a make-or-break experience for using Eyasluna. Even if Rangefinder feels great, but you want to do something different and give Perpetual Motion a shot? Well by all means!

PvE Thoughts#

With Headstone, Kill Clip, Demolitionist and Harmony, Eyasluna has a terrific selection of fourth column perks for PvE. There isn’t anything brand new / game-changing so not much to discuss here in the comments section. Perpetual Motion in the third column is the new perk, but I wouldn’t reccomend it in PvP over nearly anything else in the column 🙃

Aztecross points out something worth considering: Headstone is what makes Eyasluna unique from a PvE perspective. Sure it can roll with good combos, but isn’t Fatebringer w/Explosive Rounds and Firefly hard to beat? Or a Judgment with Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie? Or generating Warmind Cells with the Seventh Seraph Officer Revolver? Or an Adept Palindrome with Subsistence and Rampage? Run it for a reason, and that reason is Headstone since that’s what makes it unique among 140s.

🍦 Drewsky’s Pick (pvp)#

Drewsky feels pretty strongly about this roll being The One, giving you Range and Stability in the 70s and 95 Aim Assist when ADS’d. “I don’t know how you justify much else other than this roll." Strong words! 💪

🛡 TrueVanguard’s Pick (pvp)#

TrueVanguard disagrees! He didn’t like the feel of the Rangefinder + Moving Target combo (and is not alone in this). My guess is that people don’t like the increased Zoom provided by Rangefinder. He also believes that RF+MT over-indexes on Range and Aim Assist given their already best-in-class values and that you’re better adding perks to those great stats than by enhancing them immaterially. This is his roll and he “wouldn’t change a thing about it.” Strong words! 💪

😎 CoolGuy’s Pick, No. 1 (pvp)#

CoolGuy is believes Eyasluna has no clear “god roll” and he reviews several interesting perk combinations in his video. This happens to be the one he mains (well, his has Ricochet Rounds but he’s looking for High-Caliber Rounds).

🕶 CoolGuy’s Pick, No. 2 (pvp)#

Another CoolGuy-used roll, he values Snapshot for that little edge in getting the first shot in which can make-or-break engagements.

🦩 Fast on Its Feet (Snapshot) (pvp)#

The huge Handling bump from Fastdraw HCS along with Perpetual Motion and Snapshot make this 140 RPM feel like a Lightweight. You could achieve the same thing with the 120 RPM Steady Hand (w/Quickdraw and Snapshot) and it completely changes the feel of the weapon. You get all the lethality without the heavy-handedness of the frame.

🦩 Fast on Its Feet (Moving Target) (pvp)#

Similar to the above, but for those who want to lean even more into the always-mobile playstyle.

🐥 Flock (pve, pvp)#

As more weapons start appearing with Harmony, it becomes feasible to run double-Harmony loadouts. My thought process for Harmony is - “What third column perks make the seven seconds of Harmony more effective?” In endgame PvE, getting a kill with your special or heavy from cover means a solid primary damage boost.

🐣 Born Again (pve)#

Headstone stasis crystal shatter procs Unrelenting. You can test this out in Altar of Sorrows or the Thrallway in Shattered Throne. Super fun combo that’s made even better by an investment in synergistic selection of Stasis Aspects and Fragments.

🥶 Flying South (pve)#

Outlaw and Headstone proc on the same event (precision kills). This is more of a niche roll for PvP which is why I haven’t tagged it as such. This combo is made even better by an investment in synergistic selection of Stasis Aspects and Fragments.

  • Barrels: Hitmark HCS

  • Magazines: High-Caliber Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Flared Magwell, Light Mag

☔️ Death from Above (pve)#

Given the number of times I search for Demolitionist across all of my weapons, it seems only natural to have a solid Demolitionist-based roll. Grenade-based bounties pop up in every game mode (incl. Dares of Eternity). This isn’t flagged for PvP because you’d want something other than Unrelenting in that third column (unless you’re a streamer dropping 40-bombs). Working backwards from Demolitionist if you’re assuming lots of kills to keep those grenades coming, Unrelenting goes well to keep your health topped off. No reload perks since throwing your grenade is a free reload.

  • Magazines: High-Caliber Rounds, Ricochet Rounds, Flared Magwell, Light Mag

🦅 Talons (pve)#

Your classic reload and damage-boosting PvE combo here. This used to be the “god roll” across both PvE and PvP, but has fallen out of favor in PvP given the abundance of excellent third column perks appearing on many new weapons, and the fact that Kill Clip does not change your TTK in PvP.
