Overview of Jolder

Role: Tank / Defender (Void Titan)

Playstyle: Close-range combat / Drawing aggro / Generating Overshields / Protecting allies with barriers.

Key Abilities:

• Barrier of Starlight (Super): Creates a spherical shield that blocks enemy projectiles and grants Overshields to allies inside.

• Retribution: Gains stacks when hit, adding Void damage to Submachine Gun (SMG) attacks (consumes 1 stack per 10 hits).

Sum: Jolder’s kit revolves around absorbing damage to fuel Rage, which enhances her survivability and offensive output, making her ideal for holding points and protecting teammates.

 

Best Weapon for Jolder

Jolder’s weapon choices should complement her close-range, aggressive tanking style, maximizing damage output while leveraging her Rage and Retribution mechanics. Here are the best options:

Primary Weapons (SMGs)

The Huckleberry (Exotic)

High DPS (231), excellent handling (100), and an exotic perk that reloads the magazine on kills, enabling sustained pressure in close-range fights. Ideal for chaining kills to maintain Retribution stacks and Rage.

 

Riskrunner (Exotic)

Shines against Arc-heavy enemies with an exotic perk that reduces incoming Arc damage and chains lightning to nearby targets. High rate of fire (900 RPM) and range (90) make it versatile for PvE and PvP close-range engagements.

 

Wolfpack (Mythic)

Provides consistent fire and synergizes with Jolder’s frontline playstyle, offering reliable damage for clearing weaker enemies or pressuring in PvP.

 

Heavy Weapons (Swords)

Partridge Sky (Exotic)

High DPS (749) with a Catalyst that boosts charged heavy attack damage and duration, making it a DPS monster against bosses. Its fire-infused strikes bypass shields, synergizing with Jolder’s Void kit for mixed damage output.

 

Nobunaga (Mythic)

Offers burst damage for tougher encounters, complementing Jolder’s ability to draw aggro and survive while dealing melee damage.

 

Weapon Strategy

PvE: Use The Huckleberry for add-clear and Partridge Sky for boss DPS. The Huckleberry’s kill-chaining perk keeps Retribution stacks active, while Partridge Sky maximizes damage against high-health targets.

PvP: Pair Riskrunner with Nobunaga for close-range duels. Riskrunner’s lightning chain helps against grouped opponents, and Nobunaga provides burst damage for quick kills.

Best Teammates for Jolder

Jolder shines in team compositions that complement her tanking role with damage or support. Here are the best teammates for PvE and PvP.

PvE Teammates

Tan-2 (Solar Support)	Tan-2’s long-range Scout/Sniper Rifles and damage-boosting abilities amplify team DPS, allowing Jolder to focus on holding aggro and shielding. His mode-switching abilities (damage/support) synergize with Jolder’s frontline presence.
Ikora (Void AoE Caster)	Ikora’s burst-damage weapons (Grenade/Rocket Launchers) and Gravitational Collapse ability clear grouped enemies, which Jolder can gather with Taunt. Her ability recharge on kills/assists ensures high uptime.
Attal (Arc Support)	Provides heals (Mint Mend) and debuffs (Arc Missile), freeing Jolder to focus on tanking rather than relying on her own healing. Attal’s weapon damage build can also supplement DPS.

 

PvP Teammates

Tan-2	His support buffs and long-range damage cover Jolder’s weakness in chasing kills, enabling her to lock down objectives while Tan-2 picks off enemies.
Gwynn (Void Melee Caster)	Gwynn’s high mobility and dual-wield Sidearms complement Jolder’s slow, tanky playstyle. Her Void Dance and self-sustain allow her to dive in alongside Jolder for aggressive plays.
Wolf (Solar DPS)	Wolf’s high damage and mobility pair well with Jolder’s ability to draw aggro, allowing Wolf to focus on kills while Jolder tanks.

 

Best Artifacts for Jolder

Artifacts enhance Jolder’s Power Level and synergize with her tanking and Rage mechanics. Focus on survivability and Overshield generation for PvE, or durability and situational damage for PvP.

 

PvE Artifact Setup (Overshield-Centric)

• Slot 1: Ring of Abundance – Enhances overshield and healing received.
• Slot 2: Ring of Safeguarding – Grants overshield when shield breaks; vital for sustaining.
• Slot 3: Ring of Courage – Combines overshields with damage reduction.
• Slot 4: Ring of Reflection – Defensive artifact that also adds a damage buff when well-shielded.

Switch to Healing Conjunction or Resolute Conjunction if you're leaning more on healing or damage reduction, respectively.

Slot 1	Slot 2	Slot 3	Slot 4
Ring of Abundance	Ring of Safeguarding	Ring of Courage	Ring of Reflection

 

PvP Artifact Setup (Defensive Focus)

• Slot 1: Healing Radiation – Great for boosting melee characters’ longevity.
• Slot 2: Resolute Radiation – Provides critical damage reduction.
• Slot 3: Bellicose Radiation – Helps against persistent damage-over-time effects.
• Slot 4: Rampaging Radiation – High-risk, high-reward DPS boost.

Alternate picks include Ring of Abundance, Ring of Safeguarding, and Ring of Reflection for balance.

Competition Tips for Jolder

Jolder’s slow movement and reliance on close-range combat require strategic play to maximize her effectiveness. Here are tips for excelling in competitive scenarios

PvE Tips

• Leverage Rage Mechanics: Position Jolder to take hits intentionally (e.g., from weaker enemies) to build Rage stacks, fueling health regeneration and ability recharge. Use Barrier of Starlight to protect allies during high-damage phases.
• Hold Key Points: Use Barrier of Starlight to control chokepoints or objectives in Strikes/Raids. Pair with Tan-2 or Attal to keep your team alive while you tank.
• Add-Clear and Boss DPS: Use The Huckleberry for rapid add-clear to maintain Retribution stacks, then switch to Partridge Sky for burst damage against bosses. Time Skyfall Slam to apply Taunt/Suppression on elites.
• Power Level Sensitivity: Ensure your Power Level (Team Level + gear) is within 1,000 points of the activity’s requirement to avoid damage penalties. Farm story chapters and Pinnacle Rewards to boost Power.
• Team Synergy: Coordinate with supports like Attal or Tan-2 to redirect heals/buffs to squishier teammates, as Jolder’s Overshields reduce her reliance on healing.

 

PvP Tips

• Objective Control: Use Barrier of Starlight to lock down capture points or block enemy pushes in 6v6 modes. Its dome shape allows allies to shoot through while blocking enemy projectiles.
• Aggressive Positioning: Embrace Jolder’s risk-reward playstyle by engaging enemies in close range to build Rage and trigger Retribution’s Void damage. Use Riskrunner to counter Arc-based opponents.
• Counter Mobility: Jolder’s slow movement makes her vulnerable to fast enemies like Gwynn or Ning Fei. Stay near cover or allies (e.g., Tan-2) to avoid being kited. Use Skyfall Slam’s Control Immunity to counter crowd control effects.
• Ability Timing: Save Skyfall Slam for key moments (e.g., capturing a point or engaging multiple enemies) to maximize Taunt/Suppression and recharge Signature Abilities via Amplify (50% charge at full Rage).
• Team Play: Stick with teammates like Tan-2 or Gwynn to compensate for Jolder’s lack of mobility and chase potential. Let them handle ranged or mobile enemies while you hold the frontline.
