God Scroll of False Idols – Destiny 2

The Final Form is underway with the Guardians scrambling to upgrade their arsenal to eliminate humanity's greatest threat, The Witness. False Idols is the first Vortex frame sword carrying a solar element, giving it powerful perk combinations, with these PvE and PvP divine rolls taking full advantage.

How to get fake idols

False Idols is a guaranteed quest reward from The Final Shape post-game content. The quest can be found by progressing through the quests at the vendor Micah-10. Once obtained, False Idols can be focused with Pale Heart Engrams at the Ghost Vendor after the campaign ends or can be dropped after a Pale Heart activity ends.

False Idols can be crafted, meaning it can receive enhanced perks once five builds with Deepsight Resonance have been found. Once five are collected, the false idols can be assembled at the Enclave.

PvE – God Scroll of False Idols

The Vortex Frame finally comes to Solar and this divine roll from False Idols does justice to the archetype to give even the most avid Falling Guillotine fans a run for their money.

To get the most out of False Idols, start this god with Hungry Edge to increase the magazine size, giving more ammo capacity to allow for more powerful strikes. Add Swordmaster's Guard which gives a boost to the sword's essential stats. The increase in charge rate is significant because you can access your heavy attack more frequently. The added Guard buffs are welcome, blocking with a sword can get you out of sticky situations easily or be used to close the gap on your enemies before unleashing an attack.

Another bonus of False Idols being solar is access to a top tier perk in Incandescent. Killing enemies spreads Scorch to nearby enemies and with this powerful divine jet, there will be no problem slicing through them. This then pairs perfectly with One for All. Having a sword means you have to rush towards the enemy and when you rush into any kill that spreads Incandescence, it counts towards this perk. With this interaction, Guardians will have no problem maintaining the 35% damage buff. On this archetype, this opens up a ton of damage potential using its heavy attack.

PvP – God Scroll of False Idols

False Idols does serious damage in the Crucible and can even take out Guardians in their Super with its heavy attack, making it a great option in any game mode.

Take it back with Honed Edge for the Blade slot, which gives extra impact and ensures that False Idols hits hard to take out opponents. Balanced Guard then adds bonuses equal to the guard's stamina and resistance, keeping the block's energy longer if it gets stuck in a bad spot or needs to close a gap to land a blow fatal.

There's a bit to be desired for PvP in the first slot, but the new Strategist perk stands out. Due to the power of class abilities in the Crucible, Guardians frequently use them to great advantage. Since Swords are capable of quick kills, this can easily turn the tide by quickly filling the class ability after a few wins or replenishing it for the next battle. Around this god, roll with Vorpal Weapon. This will only come into play when the enemy is in their Super, but this perk will do enough to destroy any enemy wielding a Super with a single burst of False Idols Heavy attack.

Spin to Win has always been a powerful and downright fun way to take on enemies and now, with the Solar Flavor, False Idols will fit easily into any Guardian loadout.
