Flare and Firebound Buffs Explained for Destiny 2 Solstice 2023

What is one thing players want more of in Destiny 2, weapons you say? Why no, buffs of course! With Flare and Firebound you will be able to bring an all-new strategy to your Bonfire Bash matches and even more. Written in the table below is everything you should take note of about these buffs before you make your way into the Solstice festivities.

As can be observed, these buffs will easily be able to change the tide of a Bonfire Bash round so be sure to make use of them. Flare is a personal favorite of mine because who doesn’t love some area of effect fire in games?

Will the Flare and Firebound Buffs Still Be Available After Solstice 2023?

It isn’t likely that Flare and Firebound will stick around for players after Solstice 2023. Instead, I think they will be removed but could possibly return in future Solstice events. The buffs are actually nicely designed and mechanically they are rewarding and useful to have — making a return much more possible, in my opinion.
