Every Best Hunter Stasis Build in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

This guide is the easiest way to learn the best Hunter Stasis build in Destiny 2!

We’ve come a long way in discussing Stasis and eventually arrived to discuss the Hunter’s Revenant with some downsides. We have already talked about other subclasses in previous articles about Strand Hunter or Solar Hunter. Now it’s time to freeze your enemies and send them into an icy hell. Get comfortable, we’re starting to compose the best Destiny 2 Stasis Hunter builds. Let’s show our enemies what we’re made of!

Stasis Hunter Build Weapons

The Stasis Hunter is considered the weakest subclass in the game, and there are reasons for that — the lack of good Exotics, weak Aspects, and much more. However, even Revenant can be fun and, most importantly, effective with the right loadout. For this, not only will you have to use Exotics and Mods to their full potential, but you also pick the right weapons for all of this.

We will recommend a couple of guns for various purposes, which will help make Destiny 2 Stasis Hunter build even better. 

For creating Stasis Crystals, it is recommended to equip:

• Verglas Curve (Exotic Bow)
• Verglas Curve (Exotic Bow)
• Wicked Implement (Exotic Scout Rifle)
• Eyasluna with Headstone (Legendary Hand Cannon)
• Syncopation-53 or Disparity with Headstone (Legendary Pulse Rifles)
• Krait or Horror Story with Headstone (Legendary Auto Rifles)
• Unending Tempest or Prolonged Engagement with Headstone (Legendary Submachine Guns)

For slowing down or freezing enemies, the best approach is to use:

• Conditional Finality (Exotic Shotgun)
• Wicked Implement (Exotic Scout Rifle)
• Riptide or Deliverance with Chill Clip (Legendaries Fusion Rifles)
• Lingering Dread with Chill Clip (Legendary Grenade Launcher)

A special sidearm called the Buried Bloodline was introduced in Warlord’s Ruin during the Season of the Wish. It is an Exotic weapon that emits Void Energy, but it is beneficial for Stasis Builds as they often lack healing abilities. This weapon gives you the Devour buff if you achieve either four Minor Final Blows or one Major Final Blow with it. Devour provides you with 100 HP and Grenade Energy from every enemy you destroy while also extending its timer.

Make sure to remember all the weapons mentioned in this list!

Fr0st-EE5 Hunter Stasis PvE Build

• Exotic Armor: Fr0st-EE5
• Aspects: Grim Harvest and Touch of Winter
• Fragments: Whisper of Durance, Shards, Chains, Rending and Rime
• Class Ability: Gambler’s Dodge
• Grenade: Duskfield
• Must-Have Mods: Siphon mods, Grenade Kickstart, Impact Induction, Bolstering Detonation, Elemental Charge, Stacks on Stacks, Reaper, Bomber
• Recommended Stats: 100 Resilience and Discipline, max Recovery

That’s one of the best Hunter builds for Stasis subclass that will allow you to recharge your grenade quickly, taking only a few seconds. You will need Fr0st-EE5 to achieve this, which will speed up the regeneration of your Grenade and Melee abilities. In addition, it provides a 100% increase in your base Class ability regeneration rate. Keep in mind that the buff only works when you have high sprint speed.

So how can the Duskfield that slows down targets be quickly restored? It’s all thanks to the combination of Fr0st-EE5 and Whisper of Shards. Whisper of Shards boosts Grenade recharge time by a whopping 500% when you shatter a Stasis Crystal. That’s already a significant bonus that Fr0st-EE5 is capable of doubling, resulting in grenade spam. As you may have noticed, you need to obtain a Stasis Crystal to activate the Fragment. That’s where the Touch of Winter comes in handy. It significantly enhances the Duskfield by increasing the slow-field size and creating a small Stasis Crystal on impact.

We’ve covered the foundation of this top Stasis Hunter build in Destiny 2, and it’s time to move on to other pleasant bonuses. The Grim Harvest Aspect generates Stasis Shard by defeating slowed or frozen targets. Combined with the Elemental Charge mod, these Shards will produce Armor Charge, which Grenade Kickstart can absorb. This ability utilizes all available charges to grant a Grenade Charge.

Up next, let’s talk about how Whisper of Chains and Durance work well with the Duskfield. The first Fragment gives you Resist when you’re near a Crystal or frozen target, and the second one makes the Grenade last longer. The last two Fragments are optional, but it’s worth discussing them:

• Rending increases damage to Frozen Enemies and Crystals from Primary Weapons.
• Rime heals and gives an overshield when picking up Stasis shards, which may not always be safely accessible.

All in all, that’s one of the best Stasis Hunter build loadouts you can ever imagine.

Renewal Grasps Grenade Build

• Exotic Armor: Renewal Grasps
• Aspects: Grim Harvest and Touch of Winter
• Fragments: Whisper of Durance, Shards, Chains, Rending and Torment
• Class Ability: Gambler’s Dodge
• Grenade: Duskfield
• Must-Have Mods: Siphon mods, Grenade Kickstart, Impact Induction, Bolstering Detonation, Elemental Charge, Stacks on Stacks, Reaper, Bomber
• Recommended Stats: 100 Resilience and Discipline, max Recovery

In the previous build, we focused on spamming Duskfield Grenades. However, the second one will further enhance the power of Duskfield with the Renewal Grasps‘ help. It’s worth noting that these arms were recently nerfed in PvE, resulting in a slower recharge rate for required Grenades. Nevertheless, the benefits provided by this Exotic are substantial. So, what exactly do Renewal Grasps offer in the Hunter Stasis PvE Build? They provide a wide range of advantages:

• Substantially increase the slow-field size
• Enemies within the Duskfield deal 50% less damage
• Allies within the Duskfield receive 25% less damage

It already sounds like a fantastic Exotic for Grandmaster, doesn’t it? So, let’s improve it further by adding Aspects like Grim Harvest and Touch of Winter, as mentioned earlier. It’s noteworthy that the latter synergizes with Renewal Grasps, creating a large Stasis Crystal instead of a small one. Grim Harvest is still here to obtain Armor Charge with Elemental Charge. The Fragments remain the same, but we highly suggest equipping Whisper of Torment instead of Rime, which grants Grenade energy when taking damage.

Since your Grenade Charge time will be quite long, you need to minimize that time as much as possible. For that, the following Stasis Hunter build mods will assist:

• Grenade Kickstart: grants Grenade energy based on spent Armor Charge
• Impact Induction: provides 20% Grenade energy for dealing Melee ability damage
• Bomber: gives 10% Grenade energy when using the Class ability

Best Hunter Stasis PvP Build

• Exotic Armor: Mask of Bakris
• Aspects: Winter’s Shroud and Touch of Winter
• Fragments: Whisper of Durance, Shards, Rending and Torment
• Class Ability: Marksman’s Dodge
• Grenade: Duskfield 
• Must-Have Mods: Targeting, Dexterity, Loader and Unflinching Aim mods (which gun you prefer), Grenade Kickstart, Bolstering Detonation, Absolution, Better Already, Reaper, Bomber
• Recommended Stats: 100 Mobility and Discipline, max Recovery

Are you interested in surprising your opponents by suddenly appearing behind them or boosting your weapon’s damage unexpectedly in the enemy’s eyes? Then the Mask of Bakris is designed for you! This Exotic armor for Hunter Stasis builds replaces your Dodge with Shift, which teleports you a few meters forward. But that’s not all, as after using it, you receive a 10-second buff that boosts your Stasis and Arc weapons damage by 6%. However, there is one unpleasant downside. While you have this buff active, your Class Ability won’t recharge.

You’re already familiar with Touch of Winter, so let’s move on to Winter’s Shroud. This Aspect slows down all enemies around you after using your Class ability. Since Slow directly affects movement and weapon performance, your enemies will hate you. In terms of new Fragments, you won’t find any here. Still, it’s worth noting that due to Whisper of Durance, enemies will remain under the Slow debuff for a more extended period.

The mod selection won’t surprise you in this best Stasis Hunter PvP Build if you’re already familiar with our other PvP loadouts. Since you’ll be using Shift quite often, it’s definitely worth equipping Reaper, which creates an Orb of Power after a Weapon’s Final Blow, but only if you’ve used your Class ability before that. Reaper also starts health regeneration and grants ability energy after picking up Orbs. And to allow you to use your Grenade and Shift more frequently, we’ll use Grenade Kickstart (provides grenade energy after its use) and Bolstering Detonation (grants Class ability energy for grenade damage).
