Wish-Ender — Wallhack Assassin (Kinetic Hunter)

Centerpiece: Wish-Ender (Combat Bow · Primary · Kinetic) · Subclass: Nightstalker (Void) · Role: Invisible armour-piercing single-target sniper + Barrier champion deleter Sandbox: 9.7.0 · Updated 2026-07-03

The bow already sees through walls and shoots through shields. Hold a perfect draw forever with Oathkeeper so the damage ramps the longer you wait, drop invisible with Vanishing Step, and every fully-drawn arrow becomes a wallbang execution that nobody saw coming and nothing could block. Void Hunter turns each kill back into invis, so you snipe the room from a place it can't shoot back.

The weapon

Queen's Wrath (intrinsic): "While aiming down sights with a fully drawn Bow, combatants behind walls are highlighted and arrows pierce shields. Strong against [Shield-Piercing] Barrier Champions."

Catalyst — One for All: "Hitting three separate targets increases damage for a moderate duration."

A fully-drawn arrow does three things at once: it wallhacks (highlights enemies through cover so you draw before you even peek), it over-penetrates walls and pierces shields, and it carries an intrinsic Barrier-champion stun — no artifact mod, no special ammo. It's a Primary, so ammo is never the constraint; the only constraint is the draw, which is exactly what the exotic armour solves. The catalyst's One for All is a flat damage buff after you tag three separate bodies — trivial to keep up in any add-dense room, and it stacks on top of every other multiplier the loadout brings. The whole play pattern is: pre-draw on a highlighted target from cover, hold, and release a shield-piercing execution the target never sees leave the wall.

Loadout

Why it works (the mechanics)

• Oathkeeper converts the bow's drawback into a damage multiplier. Wish-Ender wants fully-drawn shots and the slow draw is the cost. Oathkeeper makes the draw free to hold and pays you for holding it. Hold while you line up the wallhack target, then release for the per-hold-time bonus on top of One for All and any weaken already on the target.
• Three damage multipliers stack on one arrow. Oathkeeper hold-bonus × catalyst One for All (after 3 tags) × Deadfall/Snare-Bomb weaken (a separate debuff bucket that multiplies the whole fireteam's damage). A single drawn arrow into a weakened, highlighted champion is a one-shot in most content.
• The bow is its own Barrier answer — for free. Queen's Wrath pierces shields intrinsically and carries the Barrier stun, so you spend zero artifact mods or special ammo on champion coverage and still cover Barrier from across the room through a wall.
• Invisibility is the firing position, and kills refresh it. Vanishing Step cloaks every dodge; Stylish Executioner re-cloaks on every debuffed kill and grants Truesight (which stacks with the bow's own wallhack). You're permanently a ghost with X-ray vision — exactly the Wish-Ender fantasy.
• The Void economy keeps you alive while you snipe. Bow-kill a weakened target → Echo of Harvest drops an Orb and a Void Breach → Echo of Starvation turns the pickup into Devour (full heal + grenade refresh on kills). Echo of Persistence stretches Devour and Invisibility so the loop never gaps.
• Marksman's Dodge papers over the bow's reload. Combat bows are draw-then-nock; dodging reloads the bow and (via Vanishing Step) re-cloaks you — one button to reposition, reload, and vanish.

Stats & mods

Weapons 200 → Health → Class. Weapons stat is a flat PvE damage multiplier vs minors/majors (9.7.0) — straight onto every arrow. Health feeds the Devour floor; Class feeds dodge uptime so Vanishing Step is always available. Archetype lean: a Weapons-primary set with a Health secondary.

Mods:

• Boots: Bow / Kinetic Weapon Surge ×2 · Orbs of Restoration.
• Arms: Bow Loader / Kinetic Loader · Fastball (Snare Bomb throw distance).
• Chest: Arc + Solar + Void Resistance (flat DR under Devour/invis).
• Class item: Powerful Attraction (dodge vacuums Orbs into the Harvest loop) · Bomber (dodge → grenade energy for more Vortex weakens).
• Surge: Kinetic Weapon Surge (Wish-Ender is Kinetic — surge stacks straight onto the centerpiece).
• Anti-Champion: Barrier is intrinsic to Wish-Ender; bring an artifact stun mod or a second weapon for Overload/Unstoppable.

Artifact — Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel

This Void-heavy pool mirrors the build's whole engine — Weaken → Devour → Void Breach → weaken-pulse — and turns every drawn arrow into both a heal and a debuff-spreader. The bow already covers Barrier intrinsically, so these mods spend on the loop, not champions.

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 grants Devour and a Void Breach on final blows against weakened targets — the build's Stylish/Harvest payoff, baked into the artifact.
• The Thick Of It builds Armor Charge while surrounded plus handling that smooths the perfect-draw shots.
• Void Renewal generates Void Breaches from Devour-active Void kills, feeding Starvation's Devour refresh.
• Curative Orbs makes Orbs on shield breaks, fuelling the Harvest → Starvation Devour.
• Debilitating Wave emits a Void weaken wave on Snare-Bomb finishers — extra debuff for the fireteam.
• Supernova turns a Void Breach pickup into a large weakening pulse on your next drawn arrow — stacks weaken onto the highlighted target.
• Old God's Rite rains seeking projectiles from Void weapon damage after a Breach pickup, adding add-clear off the single-target bow.

Where it shines

• GM / -30 / -40 content: intrinsic Barrier stun + wallhack lets you stun and delete champions through cover before the room knows you're there; invis + Devour is the survivability layer. The bow's single-target ceiling handles minibosses and orange bars in one to two drawn arrows.
• Boss DPS adds-phase / single-target: Oathkeeper-ramped, One-for-All-buffed, weakened drawn shots are high per-hit; Deadfall tether multiplies a damage phase for the whole team.
• Champion coverage: Barrier is broken intrinsically by the weapon (Queen's Wrath — shield-pierce + stun). Overload and Unstoppable are NOT covered by the bow — bring an artifact stun mod or a second weapon of the right archetype, or lean on Deadfall's suppress + Snare-Bomb weaken to neutralise Overload behaviour. Flag this when slotting the other two weapons.

Mod selection (masterworked — full allocation)

All 15 sockets used, 10 energy per masterworked piece; costs from the manifest. Core mods are the build's engine; fill mods are strong defaults — swap freely (chest resists should match the activity's damage types).
