Mask of Fealty Stasis Hunter Build

Gameplay Loop

Mask of Fealty creates an excessive amount of Stasis Crystals by throwing out an excessive amount of shurikens. Let's put these Abilities to good use.

Ability Breakdown

Super

• Silence and Squall: throw Stasis Kamas, Silence and then Squall. This Super is useful in any occasion!
  • Silence creates a massive Freezing blast on impact.
  • Squall creates a Stasis Tornado that follows enemies, dealing massive damage over time while rapidly Slowing, Freezing, and then Shattering enemies caught in the storm.

Abilities

• Gambler's Dodge - Instantly refills 1.3 Melee Ability Charges if used while near an enemy.
• Triple Jump - Jump of your choice.
• Withering Blade (2 Ability Charges) - Throw a shuriken that Slows targets it hits. Shurikens ricochet on impact, tracking nearby enemies. Enemies hit by two shurikens Freeze.
  • Thanks to Mask of Fealty Withering Blade hits also refund a small amount of Melee Ability Energy and create Stasis Crystal that Freeze nearby enemies as they form.
  • Shuriken hits against Frozen enemies and Stasis Crystals create an explosive spread of shurikens, leading to Ad-Clearing chain reactions.

Aspects

• Grim Harvest - Killing Stasis Debuffed targets spawns a Stasis Shard for yourself and your team, these partially replenish Melee Ability energy when collected. Additionally, collecting a Stasis Shard partially heals you and grants stacks of Frost Armor.

• Winter's Shroud - Your Gambler's Dodge now emits a non-damaging Slowing blast, and Slowing enemies briefly massively increases Class Ability cooldown speed. Using your Class Ability gives you 50% damage resistance for 4 seconds.

Fragments

• Whisper of Rime - Increases the duration of Frost Armor and raises its stack limit to 8. This Buff is your primary layer of defense!
• Whisper of Impetus - Damaging an enemy with Withering Blade instantly reloads all of your Weapons and gives you a large Weapon handling bonus. Has a short cooldown.
• Whisper of Conduction - Stasis Shards now automatically home in on you if you are nearby. Also includes nice Stat bonuses!
• Whisper of Shards - Shattering Stasis Crystals massively increases Grenade Ability regeneration speed for a brief time.
• Whisper of Hunger - massively increases the Melee Ability recharging capabilities of Stasis Shards.

Gearing

Required Gear and Weapons

• Exotic Armor: Mask of Fealty grants many bonuses to your shurikens, most of which are integral for this Build's gameplay loop. This build is not possible without this Exotic Helmet.

How to unlock:

• Focus it with an Exotic Engram at Rahool in the Tower using Tier 3 Focusing (unlocked after resetting his reputation).

Energy Weapon: Tessellation - this Fusion Rifle matches the Element of your Grenade, in this case Stasis. It revolves around Property: Irreducible, allowing you to feed this Weapon your Grenade Ability, making its next shot a Rocket-like projectile that deals devastating damage - kills with this cause an explosion. It also has Demolitionist-like Grenade Ability generation built into it.

How to unlock:

• Obtain it from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower.

Recommended Weapons

• Kinetic Weapon: A Stasis Scout Rifle to take advantage of Artifact Perks while providing utility. Multiple options exist below, you should additionally check out the Variants section of this guide if you need easier-to-obtain options. If you don't need an Anti Barrier Weapon, you may use any Stasis Primary Ammo Weapon of your choice.
  • The Prophet with Demolitionist and Headstone is my (current) recommendation. Its Weapon Frame hits extremely hard and its Perks synergize with our Abilities. This drops from the Trials of Osiris, which isn't as hard to farm as you might think!
  • Red Tape with Attrition Orbs and Explosive Payload is the best in slot, but isn't currently obtainable. It will be released in Act 3 of this Episode. The Perk combination is the ultimate utility-stick, allowing you to easily generate healing Orbs of Power from afar.

• Heavy Weapon: VS Chill Inhibitor - with Envious Arsenal and Bait and Switch pair to make the best Stasis Heavy Grenade Launcher. This drops from the Vesper's Host Dungeon - requiring the Final Shape Dungeon Key.
  • Swap this out as needed with Stasis alternatives if Heavy Grenade Launchers are not suitable for your activity. Suspectum-4fr, Ill Omen, and Cold Comfort - or the to-be-released Heretic's Fervor - are your best options

Stat Priorities

• Resilience > Strength > Mobility > Discipline
• Resilience massively increases your overall survivability through increasing your maximum total health and giving you damage resistance.
• Strength reduces your Melee Ability's cooldown.
• Mobility reduces your Dodge's cooldown.
• Discipline reduces your Grenade's cooldown.

Armor Mods

Variants

Summary

This Mask of Fealty Build massively influences the battlefield, littering it with Stasis Crystals and the corpses of Frozen foes. High Ability uptime makes it versatile, especially when you shove your otherwise-useless Grenade into Tessellation which lets you fire a devastating Rocket. Don't be frugal with your shurikens, Guardian - you have too many to throw!

Try this Build out for a spin or several and take full advantage of Revenant's (the Episode, not the Subclass) suite of Stasis Artifact Perks!
