This Void Warlock build turns you into a relentless grenade-slinging engine powered by Nothing Manacles and the revamped Nova Warp. With double Scatter Grenade charges, enhanced seekers, and Chaos Accelerant supercharging every throw, a single grenade can erase an entire room and create even more seekers to continue the carnage. Void synergies like Devour, Echo of Undermining, and Echo of Expulsion keep you healed, constantly feed back ability energy, and generate a flood of Orbs that rapidly recharge your Super. The result is a self-sustaining loop where you clear waves effortlessly, stay unkillable, and unleash Nova Warp far more often—all without ever needing to fire a weapon.

Why this build is good

The power of this Void Warlock build revolves around Nothing Manacles’ recent buff, which massively increases the value of Scatter Grenades. Nothing Manacles now grants two Scatter Grenade charges, improved tracking, and—most importantly—creates additional seekers whenever a Scatter Grenade gets a kill. This turns every grenade into a chain-reaction nuke that wipes entire rooms. With Chaos Accelerant overcharging the Scatter Grenade, each throw becomes a mini–Nova Bomb: faster, deadlier, and capable of continuously duplicating itself as it kills enemies. In current PvE, ad-clear efficiency is king—and Nothing Manacles simply outperforms almost every other neutral-game exotic by turning one grenade into many.

The Void subclass amplifies this further by feeding into a self-sustaining loop of grenades, healing, and ability regeneration. Feed the Void grants Devour on ability kills, which you will be doing constantly. Devour keeps you healed and instantly refunds grenade energy on every final blow, meaning your double-charged Scatter Grenades are almost always available. Chaos Accelerant plays perfectly into the exotic, letting you supercharge your grenades so the seekers hit harder, cover more distance, and cause more chain detonations. The combined effect is that your grenades fuel themselves indefinitely.

Fragments and mods take this loop even further. Echo of Expulsion makes every Void ability kill explode; Echo of Undermining weakens targets so your grenades hit harder and set up more kills; and Echo of Harvest generates Orbs of Power and Void Breaches, feeding more ability energy right back into your kit. With mods like Firepower and Ashes to Assets, every grenade kill not only gives you more grenades but also accelerates your Super regeneration to an absurd degree. This syncs beautifully with the newly buffed Nova Warp, which now deals more damage, pulls enemies in, and automatically weakens targets with Dark Blink—making it one of the strongest add-clear Supers in the game.

Altogether, this build works because everything feeds everything else: Scatter Grenades create kills → kills generate seekers → seekers create more kills → kills fuel Devour → Devour refunds grenades → grenades generate Orbs → Orbs fuel armor charge, survivability, weapon damage, and Super regeneration. Nothing Manacles is the engine, and the Void subclass is the fuel line that never shuts off. The result is a build that lets you clear rooms with nothing but grenades, stay permanently healed, and unleash Nova Warp more often than almost any other Super in the game.
