Summary
- Behemoth Titans in Destiny 2 have a strength in creating and blowing up Stasis Crystals, making them effective in high-end PvE content.
- Seasonal Artifact mods like Hail of Storm and Pillar of Ice enhance the damage and utility of Stasis Crystal Shatter explosions.
- Using the Tectonic Harvest Aspect and Whisper of Rime Fragment can reward players with melee ability energy and an overshield for creating and collecting Stasis Shards.
Between each of the Stasis subclasses, Destiny 2’s Titans have one advantage over Hunters and Warlocks, which lies in their Super’s ability to create numerous Stasis Crystals. Overall, Behemoth Titans in Destiny 2 have some of the best tools for making Stasis Crystals, and this strength is what the new meta Stasis builds revolve around; rapidly creating Stasis Crystals and then blowing them up.
Thanks to the new Seasonal Artifact Mods in Season of the Wish, destroying Stasis Crystals currently does significantly more damage to nearby enemies than ever before. Consequently, Titans who can consistently spawn Stasis Crystals will make short work of rank-and-file enemies, major bosses, and everything in between when it comes to high-end PvE content in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2: Season of the Wish Meta Stasis Titan Build Explained
Season of the Wish Seasonal Artifact Mods
- Hail the Storm
- Pillar of Ice
The important mods players will want from the current Seasonal Artifact are Hail of Storm and Pillar of Ice. Hail of Storm will increase the player’s Shatter damage while also slowing enemies that manage to survive Stasis Crystal Shatter explosions. Pillar of Ice will spawn additional Stasis Crystals whenever players kill enemies that are Encased in Stasis Crystals.
Stasis Aspects
- Tectonic Harvest
Since the main goal of this new Titan build in Destiny 2 is to rapidly create and destroy Stasis Crystals, the Tectonic Harvest Aspect is great because it will reward players with melee ability energy for doing so. Although it’s not mandatory, players can pair this with the Whisper of Rime Fragment to also get an overshield for collecting these Stasis Shards.
- Diamond Lance
Although Stasis Lances won’t create Stasis Crystals, they are still a reliable way to freeze enemies. This is extremely helpful because damaging frozen enemies will cause them to Shatter similar to the explosion of a Stasis Crystal all the same. Not to mention, Stasis Lances can be picked up by teammates regardless of whether they are running a Stasis Subclass.
Stasis Fragments
- Whisper of Shards
- Whisper of Bonds
- Whisper of Fissures
- Whisper of Torment
- Whisper of Conduction
The Stasis Fragments for this build are a bit flexible for personal preference. However, the Fragments mentioned allow players to maximize the damage and utility of Stasis Crystal Shatter explosions, while also having exceptional ability recharge rates.
Weapons and Abilities
This build heavily relies on having the right grenade equipped, which is the Glacier Grenade. This ability is the primary method that players will use to create Stasis Crystals outside their Stasis Subclass Super.
When it comes to weapons, arguably the best Kinetic weapon for this build is the Verglass Curve Exotic Bow, since it can naturally produce its own Stasis Crystals. Not to mention, bows are also currently an anti-Champion weapon in Destiny 2, so players will be able to stun Unstoppable champions with this bow. For players who prefer not to use the Verglas Curve, Hakke foundry weapons will naturally do extra damage against Stasis Crystals. Otherwise, any weapon with the Headstone and/or Demolitionist perks is also a great pick because of its synergy with this specific Stasis Titan build.
In general, the energy weapon slot should focus on enhancing or recharging the player’s abilities. The best heavy weapons for this build would be explosive weapons that can rapidly destroy multiple Stasis Crystals at a time.
Armor Mods and Stats
Ultimately, the only mandatory armor mods that this build relies on are a couple of Destiny 2’s Armor Charge mods. Specifically, either the Font of Focus or Grenade Kickstart gauntlet mods. When it comes to stat rolls on the player’s armor, high Resilience is always a reliable part of any build, but players will also want high Discipline, Intelligence, and Strength stats for the fastest ability cooldowns.
