Divinity is an incredibly unique weapon that has been prized for its presence ever since its introduction to Destiny 2. The weapon, when fired upon an enemy for at least 0.65 seconds, creates a cage of energy around them as long as Divinity is still fired at them. Any damage inflicted on this cage that is capable of producing a crit is automatically translated to one. This means Divinity can help accrue hugely boosted easy damage for fireteams if a player is assigned to use it, and it can also assist solo players in landing high damage as a quick swap to another weapon can allow the player to hit the cage before it disappears, | Divinity is an incredibly unique weapon that has been prized for its presence ever since its introduction to Destiny 2.

This means Divinity can help accrue hugely boosted easy damage for fireteams if a player is assigned to use it, and it can also assist solo players in landing high damage as a quick swap to another weapon can allow the player to hit the cage before it disappears, capitalizing on the extra damage. On top of the crit conversion, an extra 30% damage buff is applied to attacks made to the enemy currently caged. This has meant that Divinity has become an almost required weapon for clears of 6 player content at low/capped Power levels, such as day one raiding, Master content and more. Using Divinity in 3 player scenarios is not as advised, as the damage gained is often less than can be done by the third fireteam member if they were to use a meta weapon. However, with 5 other fireteam members using high damage precision weapons such as Linear Fusion Rifles, the loss of damage from Divinity's relatively low damage can be more than made up for. | ||
Due to being a constant stream of damage and the built-in Overload capacity of the weapon, Divinity sometimes has the effect of triggering many stuns at once to Overload Champions when they are struck. This can be amusing as the action feed will fill up with many messages regarding this effect, and can also help quickly clear any bounties, quests or challenges requiring Champion stuns. | Due to being a constant stream of damage and the built-in Overload capacity of the weapon, Divinity sometimes has the effect of triggering many stuns at once to Overload Champions when they are struck.

To conserve ammo for the weapon, players should learn to tap fire Divinity once the cage has been applied to the enemy. By repeatedly firing the weapon, as if it were semi-automatic, the player can spend less ammo on maintaining the cage around the enemy. This can be crucial in endgame content, as the weapon may run dry during some lengthy damage phases, or ammo drops may be hard to come by between phases. Tap firing quickly enough is much easier to accomplish on a mouse compared to a controller, simply due to the mechanical ease of action of clicking compared to analog trigger pulling. | To conserve ammo for the weapon, players should learn to tap fire Divinity once the cage has been applied to the enemy.

The exotic perk, Penance, will trigger when sustained fire is held on a Judgement cage with Divinity for about 4.4 seconds. This will cause the bubble to collapse on the enemy with the cage on them, dealing a small amount of burst damage. It is important to note that when Penance triggers, the cage will reform immediately with no cooldown. | |||
