Stoicism Prismatic Titan Build
Last Updated:February 9, 2025|Changelog
This Stoicism Prismatic Titan Build has an addicting flow to it that will roast mobs to dust. Using the Stoicism exotic class item gives you the ability to use many different armor combinations like the roll of Spirit of Inmost Light and Synthoceps. Being able to flow between Consecration waves and using your Transcendence all the time is incredibly fun and effective at the same time. The fragments of this build like Facet of Courage plus Darkness debuffs from your Glacier Grenade make for some crazy damage numbers that must be talked about. Lets break down this build!
The Exotic item for this build is Stoicism. This was introduced in the Duel Destiny mission after the Final Shape and has a random roll on every item. For my this build our roll uses the Spirit of Inmost Light and Spirit of Synthoceps. This gives us a boost to our melee damage while surrounded while also improving Ability regeneration for simply using Abilities!
Gameplay Loop
Now how are you going to keep up this crazy Transcendence energy and melee damage? First lets talk about what Titans do best with Knockout. A great way to keep up health, melee damage, become Amplified. Now for the actual powered melee we're using Frenzied Blade because it's strong as is but also has 3 charges available. While this unfortunately has over a 2 and half minute cooldown, consistently keeping your Transcendence makes this not an issue. Consecration is our big melee damage option with it's incredible Ignition damage.
Your Kinetic and Energy slot Weapons are going to be a key part of keeping your Transcendence energy up, Tinasha's Mastery and Cruoris FR4 excel at this. Now, when it comes to your heavy weapon it's all up to you. What's always a good options is Dragon's Breath for its powerful Ignitions and devastating boss damage over time.
Ability Breakdown
Super
- Twilight Arsenal
- This Void super for Titan is very good. Not only does it do a massive amount of damage per axe throw, but you also Weaken targets on each hit. That means the 2nd and 3rd throw will result in more damage, resulting in crazy damage numbers. Also a big reason we choose this is so we can gain a void Overshield because of our fragment Facet of Purpose.
Abilities
- Rally Barricade - Perfect for defense and creating taunt on surrounding enemies.
- Strafe Lift, Jump of your choice!
- Frenzied Blade - This is used for its3 melee charges, making Consecration more readily available.
- Glacier Grenade - A great way to apply Darkness debuffs while also taking enemies out of the fight.
Aspects
- Knockout - The perfect aspect for a melee build. Adds melee range, damage, recharge, health regeneration, and makes you Amplified.
- Consecration - Use your Powered Melee input while sliding to activate this Melee override. Create a Scorching wave as you lift off the ground and slam when you descend, dealing devastating damage in a huge area while Igniting targets hit by the wave from earlier.
Fragments
- Facet of Protection- A great way to keep up damage reduction especially with your artifact mod Galvanic Armor.
- Facet of Ruin- Great for keeping up high AoE damage when combining Consecration and Glacial Grenade.
- Facet of Purpose- Big fan of this since you can keep up Overshield from picking up Orbs of Power.
- Facet of Courage- Your Consecration and Knockout punch do more damage to darkness debuffed targets.
- Facet of Hope- A great way to keep up rally barricade energy.

Recommend Weapons
- Kinetic Weapon: Tinasha's Mastery - with Air Trigger (but any perk works here) and the highly impactful Chill Clip make this Rocket-Assisted Frame Sidearm a perfect anti-Champion tool when combined with Piercing Sidearms. This Weapon drops from Iron Banner.
- Energy Weapon: Cruoris FR4 - a strong World Drop Fusion Rifle, especially when paired with synergistic Perks: Eddy Current and Elemental Honing whose maximum damage increase is easily accessible to this build.
- Power Weapon: Dragon's Breath - Great for overall boss damage over time and getting Ignitions off. Using this Weapon is up to the user since the build rarely uses its Weapons. Having a high damage heavy is just a nice additional touch. Obtain it through the Monument to Lost Lights, requiring ownership of the Lightfall Expansion.
