Must-Have Strand Titan Build for PvE and PvP Activities
Table of Contents
The recent addition of the Strand subclass has led to a surge in player interest and exploration in Destiny 2. It differs significantly from what we have seen before and intrigues everyone after each new discovery. More than half a year has passed since the release of Lightfall. And many unique features and even cool D2 Titan Strand Builds were found that surpass the Light Subclasses in some ways. We have already discussed Warlocks and Hunters, but this article will focus on Titan’s amazing loadouts and their incredible power.
Suspend Build
- Exotic Armor: Abeyant Leap
- Aspects: Into the Fray and Drengr’s Lash
- Fragments: Thread of Mind, Wisdom, Generation and Continuity
- Class Ability: Rally Barricade
- Grenade: Shackle Grenade
- Must-Have Mods: Siphon Mod, Focusing Strike, Charged Up, Stacks on Stacks, Absolution, Utility Kickstart, Reaper.
- Recommended Stats: 100 Resilience and Discipline, Max Recovery
We’ll start this article with the strongest Strand loadout among all classes, and it is ideal for any content type in Destiny 2. The entire gameplay revolves around the Class Ability, which, due to Drengr’s Lash and Abeyant Leap, is able to Suspend a crowd of enemies instantly. No wonder everyone is now calling it the best Titan Strand PvE build.
You may wonder, “Then what does the named aspect and Exotic do?” Well, Drengr’s Lash creates a ripple in reality that travels forward along the ground, suspending and damaging targets. At the same time, Abeyant Leap enhances this by releasing two additional ripples. Moreover, this Exotic Armor allows you to receive Woven Mail when suspending targets, which is why Shackle Grenade is a great choice. We can say with ease that that’s the perfect armor for this best Titan Strand Build.
Now, let’s talk about fragments and mods because they play a big role here. The most important things are the Thread of Mind and Generation. Through them, you’ll receive Grenade and Class Ability energy. Thread of Continuity will help Suspend enemies for much longer, and Wisdom will spawn Orbs of Power. We also recommend using Utility Kickstart to use Barricade even more often ’cause that aspect provides you with Class Ability energy by consuming all Armor Charges. Once you understand when to use your abilities, Suspend build will be a real blessing for your Titan.
Melee Build
- Exotic Armor: Synthoceps
- Exotic Weapon: Monte Carlo
- Aspects: Flechette Storm and Banner of War
- Fragments: Thread of Fury, Warding, Generation and Continuity
- Class Ability: Rally Barricade
Grenade: Grapple - Must-Have Mods: Kinetic Siphon, Impact Induction, Momentum Transfer, Kinetic Weapon Surge, Recuperation, Time Dilation, Reaper.
- Recommended Stats: 100 Resilience and Discipline, Max Recovery
The previous loadout may seem boring to many, especially in Low/Mid Tier Content. Fortunately, the other two Aspects smoothly fix this, making your Strand Titan build much more interesting and fun. Moreover, you have the opportunity to make it useful even in Endgame simply by adding two Exotics: Synthoceps and Monte Carlo.
Let’s look into the Aspect of Banner of War, which has managed to surprise the community. With a Melee, Finisher, or Sword Final Blow, you obtain a corresponding buff that heals you and allies around you periodically, as well as improves Melee and Sword damage. At the same time, you and your teammates may power up Banner of War by performing any Final Blows, increasing the duration and frequency of healing.
Another Aspect, Flechette Storm, grants you an alternative Melee, which you could use while sliding. Its advantage for our best Strand Titan build in Destiny 2 over Frenzied Blade lies in three things, namely:
- Each attack only uses 50% of Melee Energy
- It applies Unravel to enemies
- It can be used in a range
You can make Flechette Storm even stronger by equipping Synthoceps, enhancing its damage by 200% if enemies surround you. By the way, these Arms also work with Grapple Melee, which is why 100 Discipline could come in handy. In short, it’s a great Exotic that saves the day once again!
What remains is to figure out how exactly to regenerate Melee in this Destiny 2 Titan Strand build. That’s where Monte Carlo comes into play, which received a wonderful Catalyst in Season of the Witch. We wrote about this Exotic in a separate article, which you can check out to learn more about the Auto Rifle. And since we’ll often be using Monte Carlo, don’t forget to equip Kinetic Siphon and Surge!
PvP Build
- Exotic Armor: Abeyant Leap
- Aspects: Into the Fray and Drengr’s Lash
- Fragments: Thread of Mind, Evolution, Generation and Continuity
- Class Ability: Towering Barricade
- Grenade: Threadling Grenade
- Must-Have Mods: Targeting, Loader, Dexterity, Holster and Unflinching Aim mods (which gun you prefer), Grenade Kickstart, Better Already, Insulation, Reaper, Outreach
- Recommended Stats: 100 Resilience and Discipline, Max Recovery
The PvP loadout won’t differ much from the first one on the list in terms of Exotic, Aspects, and Fragments, as all of this is also perfect for Crucible. You’ll still immobilize enemies and quickly deal with them while they can do nothing to you. However, there are a couple of changes here. Threadlings perform well against Guardians, especially when using Thread of Evolution, so the corresponding Grenade will definitely come in handy. Yes, this loadout may seem dull and slow, but it is the best PvP Build for Strand Titan you can make right now.
