History of Empowerment

Empowerment is a timed buff from the Solstice of Heroes event. Each day Bungie selects one element, and defeating enemies with that element spawns elemental orbs. Collecting 30 matching orbs grants Empowerment. TheGamer's 2021 guide describes the same threshold as 30 stacks of Elemental Charge.

Effects

• Solar: a burning wave of energy damages nearby enemies.
• Arc: faster movement and stronger melee and Sword damage.
• Void: invisibility while crouched, Truesight and faster ability regeneration.

Destinypedia notes that the Stasis buff had not been confirmed by Bungie.

European Aerial Zone

The European Aerial Zone is a vertical arena available only during Solstice of Heroes. Each run asks for as many mini-bosses as possible, the final boss, and the chests across the arena before the time limit. Elemental orbs drop from elemental crystals and Taken bosses.

The sources date from 2019 to 2021, so current event rules may differ. For the Kell's Fall status of the same name, see Revenant Empowerment.
