In this system, all Grenade abilities are shared across classes, and all Jumps are shared across subclasses, allowing for four or more jumps in certain cases. A third class ability was also added to some subclasses. In this system, the main capabilities of the class are chosen between three-four Aspects, each with unique, class related attributes. This update also introduced Fragments (Echoes for Void, Embers for Solar, Sparks for Arc, Whispers for Stasis, Threads for Strand), which are passive perks shared across classes that provide synergistic effects, and occasionally stat boosts or penalties. Each Aspect comes with a number of Fragment Slots (between one and three), which can be filled with a different Fragment each. Changing to an Aspect with less slots disables Fragments, starting from the right. This update also formalized many of the elemental buffs and debuffs available in the game, defining them as Verbs.

Players start the game with a given Light subclass, and can obtain the others after completing a Quest given by [[Ikora Rey]] in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], further unlocking abilities through buying them from her with [[Glimmer]] and meditating at the nearby Altar. Stasis subclasses are obtained by completing the [[Beyond Light Campaign]], with Aspects and Grenades obtained through post-campaign Quests, and Fragments acquired by completing [[Bounty|Bounties]] given by the [[Exo Stranger]] on [[Europa]]. Strand subclasses are obtained by completing the Lightfall campaign, with the first 2 Aspects obtained throughout the campaign, then a 3rd Aspect obtained through the completion of Parting the Veil Quest, and the Grenades and Fragments acquired by spending Strand Meditations, which are earned through Strand final blows, at the Pouka Pond on [[Neptune]].
