Swords have always lived on the edge of Destiny 2’s sandbox — but when a Lightweight Sword drops with Eager Edge, Void synergy, and a modern perk pool, it demands attention. Sullen Claw, introduced with the Renegades DLC, is one of the most exciting sword additions in recent memory, offering incredible movement tech, solid damage potential, and serious PvP lethality.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect PvE roll or looking to dominate the Crucible with lightning-fast gap closing, this guide breaks down how to get Sullen Claw, its best god rolls, and whether it’s worth grinding the Equilibrium Dungeon for.
How to Get Sullen Claw
Sullen Claw drops from encounters in the Equilibrium Dungeon.
Specifically, it is a possible reward from the final boss encounter (the third major encounter).
Defeat the final boss and you’ll have a chance for Sullen Claw to drop with random rolls.
Sullen Claw Overview
Sullen Claw is a Legendary Void Power Sword with a Lightweight Frame, meaning it provides increased movement speed and benefits from strong heavy attacks when energy is full.
Base Stats
Swing Speed: 40
Impact: 62
Charge Rate: 50
Magazine: 50
Ammo Capacity: 80
Origin Trait – Imperial Allegiance
Being near allies grants increased cooling or charge rate, and increased damage while at high heat or low guard energy.
How Good Is Sullen Claw?
Sullen Claw is a strong option in both PvE and PvP, whether you’re focusing on raw damage or leaning into Void builds. Its perk pool gives it flexibility, and the inclusion of Eager Edge alone makes it highly desirable.
Eager Edge remains one of the best perks in the game for both modes, offering unmatched movement utility and gap-closing potential. Because of this—and its overall perk synergy—Sullen Claw is absolutely worth farming from Equilibrium.
In PvP, the Lightweight frame excels at rapid repositioning, closing distance, and controlling engagements, all of which are crucial in high-level play.
Sullen Claw God Rolls
PvE God Roll – All-Around
Blade: Tempered Edge
Guard: Swordmaster’s Guard
Perk 1: Eager Edge
Perk 2: Whirlwind Blade
Masterwork: Impact
Why This Roll Works
Tempered Edge boosts Impact while also increasing ammo capacity, allowing for longer damage phases. Swordmaster’s Guard improves key sword stats, most importantly Charge Rate, enabling faster heavy attacks and more effective blocking.
Eager Edge provides powerful movement utility, letting you lunge massive distances when drawing the sword—perfect for closing gaps, repositioning, or engaging dangerous enemies quickly. Whirlwind Blade then rounds out the roll with up to a 30% damage increase after consecutive hits, making this an excellent sustained-damage option.
PvP God Roll – All-Around
Blade: Honed Edge
Guard: Balanced Guard
Perk 1: Eager Edge
Perk 2: Assassin’s Blade
Masterwork: Impact
Why This Roll Works
Honed Edge increases Impact, helping Sullen Claw hit harder and better punch through shields or damage resistance. Balanced Guard offers a solid balance between Resistance and Endurance, improving survivability when taking fire.
Eager Edge once again shines for explosive movement and surprise engagements, allowing you to catch opponents off guard or rapidly claim strong positions. Assassin’s Blade synergizes perfectly, granting increased movement speed after a kill—ideal for quick escapes or chaining into the next engagement.
