After I posted my question about best subclass Ditty Replied GubSlinger, after I maxed Bladedancer I worked on GunSlinger but I wanted to know how to spawn more orbs of light, what exotic should I use,Perk,Tip,Anything.
I have the crest of alpha lupi exotic which lets me revive faster and spawn additional orbs of light ,which is good for the guys with yellow health due to it spawns 5 orbs of light when I kill them but still only one with normal enemies.
In the other hand the exotic that gives 1 extra golden gun use Is good because I think 2 shots might be enough to kill someone with yellow health so I might spawn a full 8 orbs of light And if I kill normal enemies I can spawn 4 orbs of light.
I also don't know if kills with combustion will count as more orbs of light,I don't even know I'm really confused on what I should do please help.

Killing a low tier red bar enemy (Dreg, thrall, psion, legionaire) will spawn 1 orb of light. Killing a mid tier red bar enemy (knights, etc) will spawn 2 orbs of light. Killing a yellow bar enemy (major) in PvE with Golden gun will spawn 4 orbs of light. Killing an Ultra enemy (skull and crossbones next to health bar) will spawn 6 orbs of light. If you're killing a group of red bar enemies, then the number of orbs spawned depends on how many of those enemies you've killed. Combustion kills still count as kills with your super, so they will help spawn additional orbs. Note that golden gun shots do not 1 hit kill any enemy in the game, they do a certain amount of damage, but landing the killing blow on an enemy triggers the orb spawn. You can spawn a maximum of 8 orbs of light per super use, unless you have Crest of Alpha Lupi (exotic chest piece), which increases the maximum orb spawn to 9. Achlyophage Symbiote (exotic helmet) grants you 1 additional GG shot, for a maximum of 4. This will not allow you to spawn more than 8 orbs though. The best Golden Gun setup I've found is Combustion, Keyhole, and Over the Horizon as this will cause GG to overpenetrate enemies (hitting multiple at a time), explode (area of effect damage), and increased range on GG shots.
