Stoicism Prismatic Titan Build

Revenant

Last Updated:October 7, 2024|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 getting a boost to all your abilities after activation!

Pros

Great Ad Clear
Consistent Debuffs on Targets
High Recharge and Uptime for Transcendence

Cons

Average Boss Damage
Very dependent on keeping energy up

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, and regenerate melee energy. Now for the actual powered melee we're using Frenzied Blade because it's strong as is but also has 3 charges available. Now unfortunately this has over a 2 and half minute cooldown, but when you're consistently keeping your Transcendence up it's not an issue. Now Consecration is our big melee damage option with it's incredible Ignition damage.

Now your weapons are going to be a key part of keeping your Transcendence energy up. Using Bold Endings as your primary is great because it will feed into your darkness transcendence bar while also being just a good damage option. Now I'm a big fan of Aberrant Action for its ability to nuke areas while also filling up the light side of your Transcendence bar. Now when it comes to your heavy weapon this is all up to you. Always a good options is Dragon's Breath for its high ignitions and boss damage.

Ability Breakdown

Super

Twilight Arsenal
- This is the new Void super for Titan and wow is it 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. Combine that with the new artifact mod Expanding Abyss you will see 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- Having 3 melee charges available on an already strong melee is always a plus.
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- Having 3 charges of this with Frenzied Blade is so nice plus you get consistent use when using Transecendence.

Remember to melee even when you're out of energy. Knockout will help refill those melee charges.

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.

Artifact Mods

For the artifact this Act we have a couple of things that really help the flow of this build.

To keep up that good damage reduction with Facet of Protection then use Galvanic Armor. You should always be amplified since even your basic melee activates it.

Finally with Transference you add a big chunk of damage to your Transcendence which should be up pretty consistently. Plus doing damage with your weapons helps prefill it for you.

Kinetic Weapon: Bold Endings - Great weapon to take advantage of Stasis Crystals and effectively increase your darkness transcendence bar.
Energy Weapon: Aberrant Action - Rocket Sidearms are incredibly meta right now and Aberrant is perfect for this setup.
Power Weapon: Dragon's Breath - Great for overall boss damage and getting ignitions off. This is also up to the user since for much of the build you'll be using abilities to take down enemies. Having a high damage heavy is just a nice additional touch to really take them down.

Summary

This Stoicism Prismatic Titan Build is perfect for those who missed using abilities constantly with Titan. High damage available through Transcendence is great for clearing waves of ads in modes like Onslaught and Dungeons. Taking advantage of the double special meta as well because of high ability uptime is always nice too. This build can absolutely carry you throughout the Legend campaign and your day to day content.
