The Best Destiny 2 Finishers For Every Class [2024]

Finishers are Destiny 2’s high-damage special attacks. You need to bring certain enemies down to 20% health to use a finisher. Once triggered, a finisher kills the enemy with a little cinematic. The player is still vulnerable to enemy attacks during the finisher animation. To perform a finisher, press the right button on the D-pad on consoles and the Q key on PC.

Here is a summary table for the Best Destiny 2 Finishers For Every Class:

How To Unlock Destiny 2 Finishers

Finishers are cosmetic items in Destiny 2, which makes unlocking them relatively simple. Firstly, you should purchase the season pass if you are looking to get your hands on every single finisher, for some are exclusive to the season pass. You can find other finishers in bright engrams or pick them up from Eververse.

The Best Titan Finishers In Destiny 2

Here is a list of all the finishers that are exclusive to the Titan class. All of these finishers have their own unique animations. You can purchase all these finishers from Eververse. Their slick animations and quick executions make them, in my opinion, the greatest finishers for the Titan class.

Fracturing Slam

Best Dominating Finisher

Season	12
Class	Titan
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

As the name suggests, a Fracturing slam has your titan summon a hammer-like object and slam your opponent to death with it. Not only is this a very satisfying finisher, but it also happens to be one of the fastest finishers in Destiny 2.

Nail On The Head

Best Finisher For XP Farm

Name	Nail on the Head
Season	9
Class	Titan
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

This finisher has your titan summon a nail made out of solar energy, which hits your opponent on the head, finishing them off. This finisher ranks high for the nail resembles the hammer of Sol, making the finisher one of the coolest finishers in Destiny 2.

Bulwark Hurl

Best Fastest Finisher

This finisher has your titan summon their Sentinel Shiel, slamming it flying upwards toward your enemy’s face, killing them in one swift motion. This finisher also happens to have a very quick animation time and Is one your fireteam will definitely notice no matter what they’re doing.

Thunderclap

Best Finisher Of All Time

Season	10
Class	Titan
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

Following its name, this finisher makes your titan spray the enemy with arc energy in the form of thunder using a clap-like motion. This finisher’s animation is arguably the greatest amongst all titan finishers, and the fact that it makes you feel overpowered, although only for a second, is an added bonus.

Best Warlock Finishers

Here is a list of all the finishers exclusive to the warlock class. All these finishers can be purchased from Eververse. All the finishers mentioned below have the greatest animations among all the warlock finishers.

En Garde

Best Quick Finisher

Name	En Garde
Season	9
Class	Warlock
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

This finisher makes your Warlock summon their dawnblade and finish off their enemy in one swift hit. The finisher is pleasing to look at and is only 0.27 seconds long.

Stormbreaker

Best Aesthetic Finisher

Season	10
Class	Warlock
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

Much like the Titan’s thunderclap, stormbreaker has your warlock unleash arc energy, killing off their opponent. This finisher has your warlock enter the stormstance for a second, which makes them look very cool. While a little on the longer side with animations, the animation of this finisher more than justifies its presence in this list.

Shatterpierce

Best Early Finisher

Season	12
Class	Warlock
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

This finisher has your Warlock summon a spear-like object that shatters upon impact, killing your opponent in one hit. The engaging animation and relatively quick execution time make it one of the finest Warlock finishers.

Nova Pulse

Best Damage Finisher

This finisher makes your warlock finish off their opponent with an entire Nova bomb. The animation of this finisher is a sight to behold, both for you and your fireteam. Not only that, but this also happens to be one of the quickest finishers in the game.

Best Hunter Finishers In Destiny 2

The hunter class arguably has the greatest finishers in all of Destiny, partly due to how cool most Hunter super abilities look. Here are all the finishers exclusive to the Hunter class. You can obtain all these finishers from Eververse. The finishers mentioned below are the ones I believe to have the greatest animations with a decent animation time.

Crackling Flourish

Best Mid Game Finisher

Season	10
Class	Hunter
Type	Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Source	Eververse

This finisher has your hunter summon an icy spear, which they use to kill their opponent in one swift motion. The little dance the Hunter does before the attack is what gives this a place in this list.

Sureshot

Best Iconic Finisher

Type	Sights and Barrels
Range	10
Stability	-10
Handling	-10
Description	Pinpoint Hand Cannon Sight. Increases range. Decreases stability. Decreases handling speed.
Hand Cannons	Imset HC4, Better Devils, Presto-48, Guseva-C, Bad News, Annual Skate, Home for the Lost, A Cold Sweat, West of Sunfall 7, The Defiant

Another finisher that will likely get a lot of recognition from the people in your party chat, sureshot is a finisher where your hunter finishes off their opponent with their Golden Gun. The appearance of the Golden Gun alone makes this a worthy finisher, the fact that it lasts only .19 seconds is an added bonus.

Arctic Edge

Best PvP Finisher

Season	12
Type	Hunter Finisher
Rarity	Legendary
Description	Finish critically wounded combatants.
Vendor	Tess Everis
Aquisition	Eververse

This finisher has your hunter summon an icy pickaxe, which they then use to kill off their opponent in one slick motion. The pickaxe goes perfectly with the Hunter’s cloak, aesthetically speaking. The animation of this finisher is, in my opinion, the greatest in all of Destiny 2.

Slice and Dice

Best Hunter Finisher

Season	21
Type	Daily Bounty
Description	Defeat opponents using Strand damage from any source.
Quote	Precision and violence in the same motion. I like it." —Lord Shaxx
Objectives	Strand final blows: 5
Rewards	XP+
Vendors	Lord Shaxx

Nothing resonates with the Hunter class quite the way this finisher does. It’s as though this finisher was made to capture the essence of being a hunter. The finisher has your hunter finish their enemy in a quick motion using two small daggers. The way this finisher is executed is something only a hunter can pull off.

Why Others Were Not Chosen?

1. Flashkick: This finisher only applies to critically wounded enemies and this restricts you to not use the finisher in a wider range of situations. It is not aesthetically pleasing and has a high cost, which is why I avoid keeping it in my top list.
2. Savage Haymaker: With this finisher, you are at a risk of overusing it, that can make you energy deficient and vulnerable to attacks. Hence, I do not recommend it.
3. By My Blade: This finisher has a steep learning curve and it has no significant advantages. Additionally, due to recent Destiny 2 updates, By My Blade finisher has not adjusted with the game mechanics, so it has been left behind.

My Opinion On The Best Finishers

Destiny 2 offers a great way to wave your enemies good bye through creative finisher choices. In my opinion, Animation of finishers like Thunderclap and Sureshot make them the most used on my list. However, the finishers do consume most of your super energy, hence I recommend you keep an eye on that. Regardless, I will recommend you to try all the mentioned finishers in this article and give your enemy the taste of defeat.
