How many kills does it take to unlock new subclass abilities?
Solution 1:
Tried it out with my Warlock. Currently was at 51%. Killed exactly 1 enemy (a dreg) with a grenade and got 1%
Then I killed another enemy. This time a vandal. Another 1%
The next was a captain. He's also only worth 1%
Lastly, a servitor. Even those are worth just 1%
It seems that each enemy killed with a class ability or super adds 1% to your completion (at least for warlock-dawnblade subclass).
