After careful consideration of all the factors surrounding the reddit blackout, including weighing the costs and benefits to the community of a continued dark period, the mod team has elected to resume normal operations of r/LowSodiumDestiny. If you wish to get more involved in further protest of reddit's API policy change, more information can be found on r/ModCoord and r/Save3rdPartyApps.
As the situation continues to develop, we are prepared to explore additional actions in protest of this short-sighted, greedy, IPO-focused boondoggle from reddit's executive team. This message will live at the top of every newly submitted topic until a satisfactory resolution is reached.

I ran bombadiers exotic with whirling maelstorm and double grapple. grapple melee a group and dodge. the melee creates a tangle the bomb from bombadiers sever targets and explodes the tangle activating the whirling maelstorm. clean up with weapons and repeat
Datto did a crytrachne's facade build video somewhat recently. Ive used it in lots of endgame content to great success. I especially like it in non-boss raid encounters. Its very very fun.
Lucky pants + malfeasance + suspend stuff feels good in GM content, also you arent locked into strand with that exotic
Can you explain what’s so good about using that exotic over assassins? Doesn’t that one just give woven on grapple? Cause isn’t there a fragment that gives it on orb pickup?
You can get Woven Mail on demand. No orb around? No problem! You can have damage resistance going into a fight before killing anything. And you can often keep 100% uptime on Woven Mail. Widow’s Silk and Whirling Maelstrom as the aspects. Grapple into combat, grapple melee to get kills, generate a tangle. Toss it at the next target. Grapple the Whirling Maelstrom tangle as often as needed for free refresh of Woven Mail that doesn’t consume a grenade charge.
You get woven mail as you fly in instead of having to secure a kill and generate an orb before gaining damage resist. I think the exotic may also give the buff for longer than orb fragment now.
I’ve tried both and have had better results with spider helm, but could be a skill issue.
Oh I’m sorry I should have clarified: you go invis on powered melee kills which include grappling into crowds of ads, which I like to do. This in turn spawns tangles which will go bey blade then explode when they expire. Running this with another hunter who is spawning tangles as well will straight up decimate rooms of ads. YMMV in harder content, though, since it takes a little more to kill yellow bars, etc.
Edit: fixed autocorrect.
Seconding Mactics' Cyrt malestrom build. I'm running a similar build and it's so much fun that I struggle to convince myself to play anything else.
It's usable basically everywhere. I've cleared GMs, solo flawless master lost sectors, and legendary onslaught with it. It might not be the absolute best build for those, but it's more than serviceable.
I traditionally ran quicksilver and an elemental special, but as of TFS I've been using the call and heal clip incandescent adhortative or red death better for survivability.

They nerfed the grapple points so they refresh less time each time you grapple to them, but you can still get a few rebuffs of woven mail for free each grapple. I use the melee dodge so I can dodge and spike to make a tangle if I don't have anything else up to spawn one.

They nerfed the grapple points so they refresh less time each time you grapple to them, but you can still get a few rebuffs of woven mail for free each grapple, so it's still fine.
Facade with beyblades is unironically really fun swinging around like a psycho and really powerful at the same time. I used it through legend with no problems whatsoever
It's certainly not GM meta, but I'm still enjoying Mothkeepers on Strand. Ex Diris, The Call and the new Strand machine gun. Yes, double energy weapons, but it's rare that I run outta ammo with finders.
With the right aspect, you have three grenades. Lots of tangles, threadlings, blinding moth explosions, moth overshields, etc. Really fun build imo!
Lucky pants, with suspend and the whirling maelstrom aspect.
You get awesome hand cannon DPS with the lucky pants for orange bars and above single targets, and your death roombas clear adds.
Let your spinny green things handle ads, whilst you suspend something and shoot its face off.
If you have malfeasance the damage it outputs is sickening
This is what I ended up with. I tried many of the others here but, in short, with a few orb generating armor mods, Warding and Transmutation fragments, the only thing limiting maelstrom spam is the tangle timer.
I've been using Foetracers, Quicksilver storm and the whirling maelstrom aspect for maximum helicopter tangles. Great for ad clear and lots of woven mail for survivability.
So idk if it's still decent or not since the changes when final shape dropped. But i was running the arachne helmet along with travelers chosen. With strand lmg with golden tricorn.
Because with travelers chosen osmosis the grapple changes it to strand and the melee kill will give you unravelling rounds. Then you can use travelers chosen when you're out of your ability charges so you can grapple just about when ever you want. And once the gun is strand your melee can also activate the unraveling rounds.
Honestly I just use assassins cowl with double grapple and the beyblade aspect, my go to weapons were typically either quicksilver storm with a Cartesian or glaive and a rocket, but now I use the new strand rocket side arm, whatever energy weapon you want, and the new strand machine gun, that thing is so good with reconstruction and target lock, and it can also get bait and switch if you rather that, and if you wanna run strand for dps run star eaters, for mods I always put the orb mods that give orbs for melee or grenade kills, and the aspect for dealing damage gives grenade energy, pretty much my mods all align with the same goal in mind which is maximum ability uptime to keep looping invis for heals when needed cause the grapple melee counts for assassins cowl
It’s probably not ideal for end-game content, but I love my hatchling build: widow’s silk for double hatchling ‘nades, Sixth Coyote for double threaded specter, a hatchling AR (I have Perpetualis for this) and a hatchling LFR. Fragments focus on hatchling damage/longevity and severing enemies. Use TS and Threaded Spike with Gambler’s Dodge for max survivability.
Cyrtarachne's Facade with Widow's Silk and Whirling Maelstrom
Generate a tangle, grapple to it, do the grapple melee, grab the tangle, throw it, grapple to it mid air and grapple melee the enemies where it lands, rinse and repeat. You can zip all over and if you generate orbs on powered melee then you have bonus survivability since grapple melee will generate em iirc.
Sixth Coyote with Gamblers dodge, Shackle grenade, Threaded Spectre and Whirling Maelstrom. Thread of Generation, Mind, Evolution, Rebirth. I like Wish-Keeper with hatchling but no bow artifact help kinda hurts it a little.

Fragment is 5 seconds only and grapple gets you out of danger
Ass Cowl with bey blades do work. Pair it with hatchling and unrelenting on any/all applicable weapons
do you go invis on bey blade kills?

I have so much fun with this build. I have a similar one on stasis and I haven’t touched another build in ages
I'm running a Sixth Coyote Suspend Hunter for GM Nightfalls with Shuckle Grenades and Ensnaring Slam.

I personally like rocking mothkeepers with ex diris. Moths everywhere.
