Bungie did us a bit of a favor this time around and gave us a full view of what the Seasonal Artifact perks will look like for the Destiny 2 Season of the Wish. The whole idea is that we can start to plan out builds for the coming season before it actually drops, so why not start now? This season, the main focus will be on three different subclasses: Solar, Strand, and Stasis, as well as Rocket Launchers, which will appear in the new seasonal Exotic weapons and more.
Destiny 2 Season of the Witch Artifact Perks
This season, there are five columns, with five options in each, giving us 25 different perks to check out:

| Unstoppable Hand Cannon Aiming down the sights of a Hand Cannon for a short time loads a powerful explosive payload that stuns unshielded combatants. Strong against Unstoppable Champions.
