Aurora Dawn god roll guide in Destiny 2 PvE and PvP

There haven't been a lot of discussions surrounding the Aurora Dawn Sword in Destiny 2. While the reason for that might be the high number of new gear pieces that overshadowed the Sword, or also the fact that the community might be going through Sword fatigue.

Regardless, this new Stasis Heavy weapon from the new Edge of Fate expansion deserves much more praise, as it provides a healthy synergy and gameplay loop for the Stasis builds.

This article lists the best perks on the Aurora Dawn Sword for PvE and PvP.

Aurora Dawn PvE god roll in Destiny 2

The following perks should help you in PvE endgame activities. However, do not expect the weapon to work flawlessly against bosses, as Aurora Dawn is more of an "add-clearing" weapon than a single-target one.

• Honed Edge for increased Impact damage.
• Balanced Guard for an overall boost in the weapon's defense capabilities in guard stance.
• Sharp Harvest for free Special Ammo after landing light attacks.
• Powered Sword hits on targets will slow them.

Rimestealer can be a great perk to have for Stasis synergy, as it grants Frost Armor upon defeating debuffed targets. If you want to use this weapon against bosses, go for Whirlwind Blade with Sharp Harvest. However, the Vortex archetype of Swords is still the best for damaging one powerful target.
