Phyllotactic Spiral God Rolls
Phyllotactic Spiral PVE God Roll
- Arrowhead Brake
- Ricochet Rounds or Appended Mag
- Keep Away
- Voltshot or Frenzy
- Masterwork: Reload Speed
Phyllotactic Spiral is going to perform quite a lot better after the midseason buff to primary weapons in Destiny 2, with pulse rifles having gotten a 20% damage boost against red and orange bar enemies. Unfortunately, this weapon’s perk pool is rather limited, with a lot of duds. Perfect Float? Shot Swap? Under-Over? There’s a ton of trash here. In the third column, your best bet for a reload perk is probably Keep Away. Compulsive Reloader is another option to pair with Voltshot, but it’s less useful on a primary weapon like this than on a harder-hitting special weapon. For a damage perk, you’ve got your choice of Voltshot, Kill Clip, or Frenzy. On the bright side, Nanotech Tracer Rockets is a pretty nice Origin Trait.
Phyllotactic Spiral PVP God Roll
- Arrowhead Brake
- Ricochet Rounds
- Tunnel Vision
- Kill Clip or Headseeker
- Masterwork: Range
Phyllotactic Spiral’s stats and perks make it better suited for Destiny 2 PVP than PVE. Here we want to boost the weapon’s range with Ricochet Rounds and then build into ease of use with its perks. There isn’t a ton to work with in the third column, but Tunnel Vision is a nice kill-chaining perk. You can pair that with Kill Clip to get a big damage and accuracy boost after a kill or run Headseeker for better effectiveness without requiring a kill. There’s also a case to be made for Keep Away in the third column, since it not only boosts reload speed but gives you a range and accuracy buff as well.
That’s about it for Phyllotactic Spiral. Be sure to check out our other god roll guides for Destiny 2.
