The Strongest Titan Builds For PvP And PvE

Striker Titan has access to some excellent neutral game buffs. Touch of Thunder
greatly buffs your grenade of choice. We recommend Lightning Grenades
since they’ll gain a second charge and inflict Jolt, a keyword that makes targets release Chain Lightning
as you damage them. We then use Knockout
to gain HP regeneration from melee kills, enhancing your melee lunge range for a few seconds.

The real power of Striker Titan lies in its movement options. Thruster
is a class ability exclusive to this subclass, allowing you to dash in any direction. It works similarly to a Hunter dodge and has an incredibly short cooldown. You can pair this with Seismic Strike
to lunge in a specific direction while sprinting.

Everything else about this build is down to preference, so feel free to tweak this build as you see fit. Our Fragments focus on stat buffs over functionality. Volts grants Recovery, Feedback gives Resilience, and Recharge greatly lowers your cooldowns while critically injured. Spark of Instinct
is a great fourth option since it procs Jolt for free, leading to easy melee kills in 1v2 and 1v3 scenarios.

Grab any Arc perks that suit your playstyle. Everything else should be tailored for neutral game benefits.

Peregrine Greaves grants a significant boost to your shoulder charge damage while airborne. This allows Hammer Strike to one-tap Guardians in PvP, restoring a chunk of your melee energy and triggering Hammer Strike‘s on-kill Ignite explosion. With how powerful this melee can be, we focus the build on buffing Hammer Strike‘s uptime and Ignite effectiveness.

Ember of Searing
will restore 20% melee energy whenever you defeat a Scorched target. Hammer Strike already Scorches, but you can extend this to targets tagged with an Ignite explosion through Ember of Char
. Ignition explosions can also have their blast radius increased with Ember of Ignition. Hammer Strike will also grant Radiant through Ember of Torches
, buffing your weapon damage for a few seconds.

Since this build gets melee ability kills, Sol Invictus
is an obvious pick. Hammer Strike will leave behind a Sunspot that will grant x1 Restoration and faster ability recharge speed. You don’t need Roaring Flames for this build, so we suggest using Consecration
instead. Finally, we recommend using Monte Carlo as your Exotic. Hits and kills will restore most of your melee energy and give you more opportunities to use your Hammer Strike.

Arguably the best PvP perk this season is Flint Striker, allowing you to gain Radiant by landing precision hits with Solar weapons. This build typically runs Monte Carlo, but if you play this in Checkmate or dislike Special weapons in general, this is a great way to gain Radiant without having to use Hammer Strike.

Beyond that, most Solar perks this season don’t work in PvP, so we spec for more generic buffs. Origin Perk Specializations, Siphon hybrid mods, and Wished Into Being are great picks for just about every PvP build this season.

Sentinel Titan has access to a powerful neutral game through Bastion
, an Aspect that grants a Void Overshield whenever you cast your class ability. You’ll also gain a shield through Echo of Vigilance
if you kill a target while critically wounded. Both effects greatly increase your survivability with virtually no requirements. To get around the map faster, we use Shield Bash
for an occasional shoulder charge. And if a game runs for long enough, use Ward of Dawn
to lock down a portion of the map.

Void subclasses have access to some powerful grenades, and Sentinels can take this even further with Controlled Demolition
. This allows your grenades to inflict Volatile. We pair this with Scatter Grenades
to lockdown chokepoints for a brief period. Anyone that even touches the explosive submunitions will be tagged with Volatile, violently exploding on death. This can cause a chain reaction of explosions with Echo of Expulsion
while simultaneously healing your team.

The rest of the build focuses on neutral game buffs. Peacekeepers
is the best movement Exotic for Titans currently due to the strength of SMGs, granting bonus sprint speed, slide distance, mobility, handling, and reload speed while holding an SMG. If it wasn’t obvious, use an SMG to proc Peacekeeper’s effects. Some good picks include Unending Tempest, The Immortal, Shayura’s Wrath, and Tarrabah
. Mod your armor to support your SMG of choice.

None of the artifact perks are mandatory. Pick any Void perks that suit your playstyle. Otherwise, grab neutral game perks.

The core of this Strand build is ACD/0 Feedback Fence
. This Exotic grants a stack of Armor Charge every time you deal melee damage. This can be from an ability (including Grapple melee attacks), uncharged melee punches, or even a Glaive. As with most Armor Charge generators, you can adjust this with mods. Stacks on Stacks will grant x2 Armor Charge per hit, Charged Up will allow you to reach x4 Armor Charge, and Powerful Friends will share these charges with nearby allies.

All of these charges are then expended when you receive melee damage, releasing a wave of electrifying energy. This deals 200 damage in a wide AoE if you have x4 Armor Charge, and it inflicts Jolt. If there are any enemies grouped together when your Feedback Fence detonates, they’ll take immense damage from Jolt lightning. Melee an opponent to build Armor Charge, then get an enemy to punch you.

The easiest way to do this is by fighting at melee range. Glaives are perfect for this, as they can project a shield that grants 30% DR against Primaries—increased to 50% against all other damage sources. This stacks multiplicatively with Woven Mail, a DR buff we get from Thread of Warding
and Into the Fray
. Pick up an Orb of Power or destroy a Tangle to proc Woven Mail.

Another easy way to close the distance is with your abilities. Frenzied Blade
will perform a lunge attack that deals high damage, capable of spawning Tangles if the target dies. You can also use Grapple
to swing around corners and catch your opponents off-guard. Follow up with a Grapple melee, land a Glaive hit, and you’re ready to proc Feedback Fence. Banner of War
will then activate after a few kills, passively healing you and nearby allies for a lengthy duration.

No artifact perks are required for this build.

This build is all about chaining back-to-back freeze effects to quickly kill your foes. The easiest way to get the ball rolling is with Cryosthesia 77K
and Coldsnap Grenades
. Throw a Coldsnap to freeze your opponent, then use Cryosthesia 77K
to kill them. Whisper of Rending
will grant a 50% damage buff against frozen targets, so landing a killing blow shouldn’t be difficult.

Once they’re dead, hold the reload input to overcharge Cryosthesia with a freezing round. So long as you aim near the next foe, they’ll be instantly frozen. You can use a Cryoclasm
slide to instantly kill them. Shattering an enemy this way will spawn a Diamond Lance
on the target’s corpse. Grab it and throw it at another target to immediately freeze them. Use Cryosthesia 77K
to kill them, load an ice shot, and repeat.

The only problem you’ll run into is survivability, but we can fix this with two things: One-Eyed Mask
and Orbs of Power. One-Eyed Mask will mark targets that damage you. Killing them will grant a temporary overshield. This has amazing synergy with Whisper of Bonds
, as eliminating a frozen target will spawn an Orb of Power. You can then grab this orb to activate Recuperation and Better Already, fully restoring your HP.

And since you’re spawning Orbs of Power from weapon multikills and frozen targets, this build can take advantage of Font mods for free stat points. Font of Wisdom and Vigor provide +30 Intellect and Strength, respectively, while you have Armor Charge. This normally lasts for 10 seconds, but this can be extended to 30 seconds with Stacks on Stacks and Time Dilation, making these stat buffs near permanent.

Most of the Stasis perks this season are quite useful here, notably Hail the Storm for its ice projectiles. Beyond that, spec your artifact for useful neutral game perks or other builds you tend to use.

No Backup Plans
gives you a way to generate Void Overshields through Shotgun kills, so you can drop Bastion
for Controlled Demolition
on this build. All of your abilities will tag enemies with Volatile, a powerful debuff that causes them to explode when they receive sustained damage. These explosions will heal you and nearby allies. Paired with No Backup Plans
, you become incredibly hard to kill.

Of course, this build won’t work if you don’t have a Shotgun. Any Shotgun will work, although Conditional Finality is easily your strongest option if you own it. It deals immense damage, can clear adds and majors in a single shot, is highly ammo efficient, and benefits from holster mods—hence the Solar Holster mod on our legs. You’ll also receive a 35% damage buff with Shotguns while Void Overshields are up, so don’t be afraid to get up close and personal.

Offensive Bulwark
will quadruple your grenade regeneration and grant a 60% melee damage buff while you’re affected by a Void Overshield. We also run Echo of Starvation
to gain access to Devour, restoring a chunk of grenade energy with every kill. Both of these effects effectively remove your grenade cooldown if you can kill enough targets, especially if your weapon has Demolitionist.

Not much else is needed for the build to work, so feel free to adjust your weapons and armor mods to suit your needs. The above mod configuration is tailored for a loadout using Conditional Finality
and Void weapons.

This season’s artifact has some amazing options for Void builds, provided you’re OK with grabbing Void Breaches. Void Renewal gives your Void weapons a chance of generating Void Breaches when you get kills while Devour is active. Picking up the breach will then cause your next shot to spawn a shower of explosive projectiles (Old God’s Rite) and emit a 15% Weaken explosion (Supernova).

Icefall Mantle
replaces your class ability with Glacial Guard, causing your Guardian to explode with Stasis energy. All nearby enemies are immediately frozen, and you gain maximum Frost Armor stacks, a buff that reduces all incoming damage. Since we use Whisper of Rime
, you’ll gain eight stacks (roughly 36% DR) for 15 seconds.

Behemoths can easily freeze enemies with Glacier Grenades
and Diamond Lance
, so we can make great use of Tectonic Harvest
to spawn Stasis shards. These shards will grant Frost Armor, heal you for a small chunk of HP, and restore melee energy to spam Shiver Strike, making it easy to shatter Stasis crystals and frozen targets.

Shattering enemies is where most of your add management will come from, so you’ll want to spec for Whisper of Fissures
for more shatter damage and Whisper of Shards
to quickly recover your grenade energy. Whisper of Torment also helps with getting your Glacier Grenades
s back. For your final fragment, we recommend Whisper of Conduction
for easy Stasis shard collection, although feel free to use something else.

As for weapons, you can’t go wrong with any Stasis Exotic. Verglas Curve
is our personal favorite, creating walls of Stasis crystals with its hipfire mode to feed the ability loop of this build. If you’re playing -20 Power content or harder, then you’ll need some form of healing to retain this level of aggression. Fortunately, you can use Buried Bloodline
for easy access to Devour, restoring HP and grenade energy from kills.

It should come as no surprise that we recommend you take nearly every Stasis perk this season. One With Frost buffs your Stasis weapon stats while you have Frost Armor, and Armor of Eramis gives you another way of freezing targets while Frost Armor is active. Crystalline COnverter buffs your Shiver Strike to spawn Stasis crystals as you collect Stasis shards, and Hail the Storm greatly buffs your shatter damage through ice shard projectiles.

The rest of your perks are mostly down to preference, although we highly recommend you take Brain Freeze in the final column. This gives you yet another way of freezing enemies by turning frozen targets into Duskfield Grenades. Served Cold is also great for getting more uptime on your class ability, useful when all of your Frost Armor stacks drop.

Banner of War
is arguably the strongest Titan Aspect in the game. Rapid kills will grant stacks of Banner of War
, releasing pulses of healing energy at steady intervals. You’ll also deal increased melee damage, up to 60% at x4 stacks.

This stacks with other melee bonuses like One-Two Punch on Shotguns, Synthoceps
‘ 165% melee damage bonus, and Tractor Cannon’s
30% Weaken effect. With every buff active, you can kill just about every non-boss enemy in the game with a single melee attack.

Frenzied Blade
is a great melee ability on its own, but it suffers from a fairly long cooldown. We can fix this with Into the Fray
, an Aspect that grants faster melee regeneration while you have Woven Mail, a 45% damage resistance buff. You can get this buff by breaking Tangles or picking up Orbs of Power. We also use two Heavy Handed mods to spawn orbs through melee kills, and each orb will restore melee energy through Absolution.

The healing pulses from Banner of War
and various DR sources—Woven Mail, 100 Resilience, and chest resistance mods—make you virtually unkillable. If you need to kill something, shoot your Tractor Cannon
, swap to a One-Two Punch Shotgun, fire a shot, then use your melee. You can also use a Grapple
melee in place of a Frenzied Blade
. This will two-shot most Champions in Master and GM content.

No Strand perks are in the artifact this season. Spec your artifact for other builds you frequently play.

Using an ability will empower your other two abilities with Heart of Inmost Light
. Grenade and melee abilities receive a 200% recharge bonus and extra damage; your class ability only receives a 50% recharge bonus. This buff lasts for five seconds, so you’ll need to pace your ability usage to maximize your empower uptime. Fortunately, you can mitigate this issue with Ionic Traces and armor mods.

Touch of Thunder
will greatly buff your Pulse Grenades, causing them to spawn Ionic Traces and deal increased damage as they linger. Spark of Magnitude
makes them last longer, and Spark of Shock
will make each pulse inflict Jolt to assist with add clear. With x3 Firepower mods on your gloves, your grenade can spawn an Orb of Power every second.

Each Orb of Power will restore your health through Recuperation and provide ability energy with Absolution. This greatly helps with ability uptime, but it still isn’t quite enough for your Thruster
class ability. That is where Delicate Tomb
comes in. Kills with this weapon spawn Ionic Traces, restoring all ability energy. You can pair this with Spark of Discharge
to spawn even more Ionic Traces. It’s strictly better than Spark of Ions
since it doesn’t have a cooldown.

Overall, the gameplay loop is to use your Thruster
, use your melee, use your grenade, and kill enemies with Delicate Tomb
. If you space your abilities out properly and have good armor stats (100 Resilience and Discipline), you should be able to use an ability every five seconds. Should you run out of ammo, perform a finisher to spawn Special ammo.

Just about every Arc perk is great for this build. The major standout here is Trace Evidence, granting you an extra source of Ionic Traces from slain Jolted foes. You can also choose to replace a Fragment for Spark of Beacons
to trigger Arc Compounding, giving all Arc damage a slight damage boost against blinded targets.

The only mandatory parts of this build are Mask of the Quiet One
and Twilight Arsenal, your Super. Having a Void Super equipped will allow Mask of the Quiet One to trigger Devour on multikills, which will restore HP and a chunk of grenade energy on subsequent kills. Devour will refresh on any kill, not just Void kills.

Since we only need a Void Super for this to work, we can run Prismatic and use the popular Consecration
loadout for some punchy melee slams when needed. You just need the Consecration
Aspect and Frenzied Blade
to spam three back-to-back Consecrations. You can then throw in Glacier Grenade
crystals for added shatter damage, which is further increased through Facet of Ruin.

The rest of the build is mostly down to preference. We round out our Fragments with Purpose for access to Void Overshield, Balance for more ability energy, Protection for a free 15% DR while surrounded, and Dawn for easy access to Radiant, a 25% weapon damage buff. Your second Aspect is also down to preference—we recommend Knockout
for easy healing.

No artifact perks are required this season. Spec your perks for other builds you play or more generic benefits, such as Concussive Reload and Finders Keepers.
