With darkness on its way to Destiny 2 in Beyond Light, we know the game will get new subclasses based on Stasis, the power of darkness. During combat, stasis can manifest in a number of ways, including freezing or slowing opponents, creating stasis structures, and even smashing frozen fighters. Subclasses seem to be built around a combination of creation and control.
Shadebinder
Shadebinder is the Warlock Stasis subclass, and focuses on freezing enemies in place, then shattering them with powerful blasts of Stasis energy. Each Stasis subclass in Beyond the Light will give players the ability to customize abilities like grenades, movement modes, and class abilities. On top of that, new layers of customization called Aspects.
Aspects will appear in-game as items you can find and collect, and can then be equipped to change how different items in your subclass work, and can even unlock new abilities to choose from. These aspects can be changed with Shards, another physical item you can find in the world. The fragments will change
Shadebinder great
The Shadebinder Super is called Winter's Wrath. It will summon a stasis staff that the Warlocks can use to freeze enemies, then cause an explosion to instantly shatter any frozen enemies.
Shadow melee
The Shadebinder melee attack is called Penumbral Blast and it will instantly freeze and the enemy in place.

For now, that's really all we know about the Shadebinder subclass, but we'll add to this guide as Bungie makes more information available, and as soon as the expansion releases on the 10th. November, we'll be researching all aspects and shards of the game to complete this guide.
