In order to acquire shadestep like NbK, one must complete the entire game (including raids) with no deaths, for every character and their subclasses. If one is to die, even accidentally, it doesn't work towards the achievement. Once the game is completed with no deaths, the player receives shadestep and other abilities on their current character. Good luck guardians!

General Information

Warlock in the pause(equip) screen

Warlock is the magic-oriented class in Destiny. The Warlock is divided into 3 subclasses: Voidwalker (Void), Sunsinger (Solar) and Stormcaller (Arc). Voidwalker is the damage dealing, solo-oriented subclass capable of dealing massive AoE damage to their enemies, while Sunsinger is the group-oriented subclass adept at supporting their allies. The Warlock class has slightly lower armor than Titan but more than Hunter. It also has the greatest recovery of all 3 classes.

  • A Warlock starts off as Voidwalker, and unlocks Sunsinger at level 15. Note that once you unlock Sunsinger for one character, it will be unlocked for any new Warlock characters you make in the future. Stormcaller was released in The Taken King expansion. It is unlocked after completing the Warlock quest The Stormcaller's Path.
