Destiny: Rising, the anticipated free-to-play mobile title from NetEase under Bungie's licensing, blends fast-paced FPS action with deep RPG progression and MMO social features. Set in an alternate pre-Destiny universe, it maintains the franchise's signature gameplay while revolutionizing combat systems. With dual-wielding mechanics and controller compatibility already confirmed, beta testers continue uncovering fresh revelations from earlier playtests. Here's our comprehensive breakdown of Destiny: Rising's combat innovations.
Lightbearers: Your Ultimate Battleforce
Strategic team composition defines Destiny: Rising's combat. Players cultivate Lightbearers - specialized heroes filling tank, DPS, or support roles. Instead of collecting numerous underpowered units, veterans recommend developing 3-5 core characters. This focused approach creates versatile squads capable of transitioning between solo campaigns and competitive PvP with optimal efficiency.
Mastering Competitive Play
PvP excellence requires both sharp reflexes and tactical gear selection. Meta combinations include SMG pairings or precision hand cannon setups. Unpredictable movement patterns make you harder to hit, while map knowledge transforms you into a positioning expert. Top players leverage spawn logic and terrain advantages to secure swift victories.
