Truth — Trueseeker (Void Hunter)
Truth doesn't ask you to aim. Hold down sights, let the rockets lock, and they hunt the target around cover — then a full magazine rolls the next one into a faster, cluster-bombing, hyper-tracking volley. Your job as a Hunter is to manufacture Orbs of Power non-stop so a Void Super stays overcharged, cast it for the heal and overshield, then empty Truth into whatever's left while invis keeps you untouchable between shots.
The weapon
Prototype Trueseeker (intrinsic): "This weapon's rockets have tracking. Lock onto targets when aiming down sights. Landing hits with a full magazine grants ammo and boosts the next magazine with increased tracking strength, stability, fire rate, and cluster bombs."
Catalyst — Reaper's Tithe: "Multiple simultaneous final blows queue up a stacking damage buff. Timer starts on next weapon fire; final blows extend this timer."
What it does: Truth is a Void Heavy rocket launcher with built-in target lock — aim down sights and its rockets paint the target, then curve to it around cover. Land a full magazine of hits and the weapon refunds ammo and supercharges the next magazine: stronger tracking, more stability, a higher fire rate, and cluster bombs (extra submunitions per rocket, so more total damage). The catalyst rewards the trash you clear before the boss — rack up several near-simultaneous kills and you bank a stacking damage buff; firing Truth starts the timer, and further kills extend it, so the add-clear phase literally buffs the damage phase. It stuns no champion type intrinsically (see Verify notes), so champion duty is offloaded to the other two slots.
Loadout
| Slot | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Subclass | Nightstalker (Void) | Invis + weaken + the cleanest Hunter orb economy to keep the Super overcharged. |
| Super |  Shadowshot: Deadfall | Weaken + suppress on the boss makes every Truth rocket hit harder for the team; the tether also groups packs for catalyst multi-kills. (Moebius Quiver is the alt if you'd rather the Super be the spike.) |
| Class ability |  Gambler's Dodge | Near enemies it refunds melee; the dodge is your invis button (Vanishing Step) and your orb vacuum (Powerful Attraction). |
| Movement |  Triple Jump | Three-stage air control to reposition onto a firing angle and hold ADS while the rockets track a moving boss. |
| Melee | Snare Bomb (Quickfall) | Smoke weakens and makes you invisible — feeds Stylish and stacks the weaken multiplier on Truth. |
| Grenade |  Magnetic Grenade | Attaches and double-detonates a priority; with Echo of Undermining it applies a precise weaken on the boss before the rocket. |
| Aspect 1 |  Stylish Executioner | Defeating any elementally-debuffed target grants invis + Truesight; weaken and volatile kills trigger it constantly for near-permanent invis. |
| Aspect 2 |  Vanishing Step | Dodging makes you invisible (+2 Aspect energy) — free, reliable invis to re-enter the kill→orb loop and reposition for the next volley. |
| Fragments | Undermining · Harvest · Starvation · Reprisal · Instability | Weaken delivery → orb + Breach fuel → Devour sustain → Super energy → volatile Void rounds. |
| Exotic armour | Star-Eater Scales (Leg Armor) | Orbs overcharge the Super for a heal + overshield on cast — the safety button you press right before each Truth volley. |
| Weapons | Void primary (add-clear) + champion-stunning Special | The primary makes orbs and banks catalyst multi-kills; the Special covers the champion type Truth can't. |
Echo of Undermining Void grenades apply Weaken — the multiplier on Truth) · Echo of Harvest (weakened kills spawn an Orb of Power + Void Breach — the fuel for Star-Eater's overcharge) · Echo of Starvation (pick up Orb/Breach → Devour for sustain between volleys) · Echo of Reprisal (kills while surrounded → Super energy, stacking with the orb feed) · Echo of Instability (grenade kills grant Volatile Rounds to Void weapons — Truth is Void, so its rockets go volatile for chip detonations
Why it works (the mechanics)
- Orbs → overcharged Super → heal + overshield → fire Truth. Star-Eater turns Orbs of Power into Super energy, and once the Super is full, every further orb overcharges it (up to 6 stacks). The Nightstalker engine — Echo of Harvest on weakened kills plus Orb-on-kill mods on the Void primary — floods orbs, so the Super sits overcharged. Cast it for the healing burst and overshield, then immediately dump Truth into the boss, entering the damage phase topped-up and safe.
- Weaken is a damage multiplier that rides every rocket. Deadfall, Magnetic Grenade + Echo of Undermining, and Snare Bomb all apply Weaken. Weaken stacks on top of Truth's own damage and the catalyst buff, for the whole fireteam — so the same debuffs that trigger Stylish and invis also inflate every rocket.
- The catalyst makes add-clear be boss prep. Reaper's Tithe banks a stacking damage buff off near-simultaneous kills. Deadfall groups the pack, the Void primary deletes it for multi-kills, the buff queues, and firing Truth spends it on the priority target — then any further kills extend the timer through the DPS window.
- Full-mag refund + cluster ramp rewards committing the whole magazine. Landing a full magazine refunds ammo and supercharges the next one (more cluster bombs, fire rate, tracking). On a tethered, weakened boss the first mag lands clean, so the second is the real spike — and the tracking means you keep hitting even as the boss moves or you dodge for safety.
- Echo of Instability makes Truth's rockets volatile. A grenade kill grants Volatile Rounds to your Void weapons; Truth is Void, so its rockets gain volatile detonations — extra AoE chip that also helps the catalyst's multi-kill trigger on a pack.
- Invis is the connective tissue, not a gimmick. Vanishing Step (dodge) and Stylish (debuffed kill) keep you invisible between volleys, while Echo of Starvation's Devour heals on every Orb or Breach pickup. You reload Truth, reposition, and re-ADS from safety instead of tanking the boss's return fire.
Stats & mods
Super 200 → Weapons → Class. Super is the priority because Star-Eater's entire value is Super uptime and overcharge; Weapons second for raw rocket and primary damage; Class for dodge (invis + orb vacuum) regen. Health is the dump stat — Devour, the overshield, and invis already cover survivability.
Archetype lean: pieces favouring Super/Weapons up front (Powerhouse-style), with Class on the legs or class item. Stat tuning: +Super/−Health and +Weapons/−Health.
Mods:
- Boots: Void Weapon Surge ×2 (straight damage onto Truth) · Orbs of Restoration (orb pickup → ability energy).
- Arms: Grenade Font (weaken delivery online faster) · Heavy Ammo Finder / Fastball.
- Chest: Void + Arc + Solar Resistance (flat DR under the overshield and invis).
- Class item:
Powerful Attraction (dodge vacuums every orb into Star-Eater) · Reaper (dodge → next kill spawns an extra orb) · Bomber/Outreach for dodge regen. - Surge: Void Weapon Surge — keeping the whole loadout Void means one surge mod serves everything.
- Anti-Champion: none on the centerpiece — carried by the Special slot's archetype (Anti-Champion 2.0) + Deadfall's suppress.
Artifact — Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel
The Void half of this artifact is the engine room for the build's Weaken → Void Breach → Devour → Orb loop, and 
Supernova turns every Breach you pick up into a free weakening pulse that rides the next Truth volley. Champion duty stays on the Special slot and Deadfall's suppress, exactly as the build intends.
Picks (2/3/2):
- Tier 1: Power From Pain · The Thick Of It
- Tier 2: Void Renewal · Curative Orbs · Debilitating Wave
- Tier 3: Supernova · Old God's Rite
Power From Pain — rapid final blows on weakened combatants grant Devour and create a Void Breach, the build's core fuel loop.
The Thick Of It — rapid final blows while surrounded bank Armor Charge for your boots' Surge and resist mods.
Void Renewal — while Devour is active, Void weapon final blows have a chance to generate a Void Breach; Truth and the Void primary both qualify.
Curative Orbs — shield breaks mint Orbs of Power and grant health, feeding Star-Eater's overcharge and sustaining you.
Debilitating Wave — finishers emit a wave matching your Void Super, weakening packs for free before the rocket.- Supernova — picking up a Void Breach makes your next source of Void damage a large weakening pulse, stacking the multiplier on Truth.
Old God's Rite — after a Breach pickup, Void-weapon damage rains seeking projectiles for extra add-clear and catalyst multi-kills.
Where it shines
- Boss and miniboss DPS (raids, dungeons, GMs): the canonical Hunter rocket rotation — overcharge the Super off orbs, cast for heal + overshield, then empty a weakened, catalyst-buffed Truth with the second mag's cluster ramp. Tracking lets you dodge for safety mid-DPS and still land every rocket.
- Add-dense rooms: Deadfall + Void primary + Echo of Instability volatile clears packs, which is exactly what banks the Reaper's Tithe stack and floods the orbs that keep the Super overcharged for the next priority target.
- Champion coverage: Truth carries no intrinsic champion stun. Coverage comes from the Special slot's archetype (Barrier / Unstoppable / Overload per Anti-Champion 2.0) plus Deadfall's suppress and weaken thinning champion health for the team. Slot your stun weapon to the activity's champion mix; Truth is the finisher, not the stunner.
