Voidwalker

A Warlock fires a Nova Bomb, the Super Ability for the Voidwalker subclass.

Those who have stared into the Void are not bound by the laws of space and time.

Voidwalker is a Warlock subclass in Destiny. It focuses on the manipulation and use of Void energy to obliterate enemies. It has been described by Bungie as a "glass cannon," offering a strong offense but taking away from defense.

The Voidwalker's super ability is Nova Bomb, a ranged attack that lets the player "hurl an explosive bolt of Void Light at the enemy, disintegrating those caught within its blast."

Trivia

• This subclass was previously known as "Circle of Night."
• The Glide is affected by when you activate it. Activating it at the height of your jump will let you float to the ground. Activating it while you're getting air from a jump and you will be elevated by it, much like a jetpack.
• In August of 2014, the Voidwalker subclass got tweaked so that the Surge modifier speeds up weapon handling as well as movement speeds, and one only has to damage an enemy to trigger the effect, not kill them. What used to be Bent Gravity got changed to Annihilate, which increases the size of explosions of the Nova Bomb and grenades, whereas it used to increase the range. Additionally, the ability modifiers were moved around so that Vortex Mastery took Angry Magic's place, Angry Magic took Annihilate's place, and Annihilate took Vortex Mastery's place. Bloom and Embrace the Void also switched places.
