Dervish — Wormhusk Crown (Solar Hunter)

Centerpiece: Wormhusk Crown (Helmet) · Subclass: Gunslinger · Role: Dodge-spam team medic Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Updated 2026-07-03

The old Crucible crutch is now a PvE field medic. Every class-ability cast cures you, Solar multikills stack Burning Souls, and once they are up your dodge heals the whole fireteam while your Solar abilities hit harder. You are a spinning, burning first-aid kit that never stops moving.

The exotic

Wormhusk Crown (Helmet) — Activating your class ability grants Cure. Rapid [Solar]Solar final blows grant stacks of Burning Souls that increase Solar ability damage, increase the potency of Dodge's healing, and spreads the healing to nearby allies.

Wormhusk splits into two halves. The base half is unconditional: every time you dodge you gain Cure, a heal on the shortest-cooldown button in the kit (Clarity logs the class-ability cast at 67 HP restored). The conditional half is Burning Souls — stacks earned from rapid Solar final blows that do three things at once: raise your Solar ability damage, deepen the dodge's heal, and spread that heal to nearby allies. So the loop is simple to state and hard to break: kill with Solar to bank stacks, then dodge to broadcast a heal to everyone standing near you while your grenade, melee and Golden Gun all hit for more. The medic and the damage dealer draw from the same well, and both are paid out by a button you press every dozen seconds.

Why it works (the mechanics)

• The heal rides your most-spammable button. Class-ability cooldowns are the shortest in the kit and scale with the Class stat, so pushing Class toward 200 makes Wormhusk a heal roughly every dozen seconds — no positioning, no resource, no aim. Acrobat's Dodge stacks a second effect on the same cast: Radiant to you and nearby allies for 10 seconds on landing.
• Ember of Benevolence closes the ability-regen loop. Applying cure, restoration or radiant to allies grants increased grenade, melee and class-ability regeneration — and your dodge does exactly that (Cure via Burning Souls, Radiant via Acrobat's). The more your team clusters on you, the faster the next dodge comes back.
• Burning Souls converts the medic into a damage amp. Rapid Solar final blows — trivial with Deadshot, Knife Trick fans and Incandescent scorch-spread — stack Burning Souls, which raises Solar ability damage. That fatter damage flows straight back into Crackshot's shots, the knife and Golden Gun, so support and offence share one resource.
• Crackshot makes the dodge dual-purpose. One input now heals the squad (Wormhusk), fires three scorching marked shots, and cures you a second time if all three land — three effects off a button you were already pressing to heal.
• On Your Mark layers a team buff on the same cast. Activating the class ability grants you and nearby allies reload speed and Weapons stat, stacking to ten; at ten stacks final blows cure you. Every dodge is now a heal, a Radiant source, a reload aura and a damage buff at once.
• Ember of Torches and Solace keep the buffs alive. Powered-melee hits (Knife Trick) make you and allies Radiant, and Solace extends every Radiant/restoration effect applied to you — so the Radiant windows overlap instead of ticking out between dodges.

Stats & mods

Class 200 → Health → Super. Lean Reaver (Class/Melee) or Demolitionist (Grenade/Class) so the dodge and Healing Grenade come back fast; Health keeps the medic alive in the middle of the fireteam.

Mods:

• Boots: Recuperation + Better Already — Orb pickups replenish and instantly restart your health regen.
• Arms: Heavy Handed — Knife Trick final blows make Orbs of Power to fuel the leg mods.
• Chest: standard elemental/melee resist mods to survive the front line you are healing.
• Class item: Bomber + Utility Kickstart — dodge refunds grenade energy; Orbs grant temporary Armor Charge.
• Surge: Solar Surge — more damage from the Solar primary that banks your Burning Souls.
• Anti-Champion: Unstoppable via Radiant → Scorch → ignition (Kindling Trigger + Revitalizing Blast on the artifact).

Artifact — Queensfoil Censer

Picks (2/3/2):

• Tier 1: Fever And Chill · Kindling Trigger
• Tier 2: Revitalizing Blast · Anti-Champion Nosecone · Perpetual Destruction
• Tier 3: Rays of Precision · Argent Ordnance

The Solar tier list for a Radiant/Scorch medic — weapon hits self-fuel Radiant, Radiant chains into Scorch and ignitions, and those ignitions plus champion stuns are your Unstoppable answer.

• Fever And Chill grants Radiant from rapid Solar hits, so the loop keeps itself Radiant even when the dodge is on cooldown.
• Kindling Trigger makes your Radiant Solar guns apply Scorch to unscorched targets — Scorch stacks into ignitions, which is the Unstoppable break.
• Rays of Precision ignites on Solar precision final blows while Radiant; Knife Trick and Deadshot precision hits cash this in constantly.
• Revitalizing Blast ignites a Champion on stun and clears your own stun — a self-cleanse plus another ignition source.
• Perpetual Destruction + Argent Ordnance + Anti-Champion Nosecone turn a heavy rocket into a Champion shredder that refunds its own ammo and spends Armor Charge for burst.

Where it shines

• Fireteam content — GMs, dungeons, raids: built to stand in the middle of the squad and broadcast Cure + Radiant on cooldown while still contributing Solar clear.
• Add-dense rooms: Knife Trick fans, Incandescent scorch-spread and Deadshot keep Burning Souls fed, so the heal never dries up.
• Champion coverage: intrinsic Unstoppable via Radiant → Scorch → ignition (Kindling Trigger) plus Revitalizing Blast's stun-ignite; bring the artifact heavy rocket (Anti-Champion Nosecone) and a Barrier/Overload weapon for the rest.
