Is this the best Titan build in Destiny 2? With this, you can approach offensively and aggressively in PvE.
Titans are unshakeable Guardians and steadfast defenders of Light, who can act as both offensive assaulters and defensive shield bearers due to their various subclasses.
If you like to get up close and personal with enemies and enjoy diving into battle with a knife between your teeth without taking too much risk, you should try the following Titan build.
JumpinProduction presents it in the video. He claims it is the “Most Overpowered Titan Build”, granting you powerful grenades and melee attacks. The build particularly shines in PvE when dealing with many enemies. It can also be used in PvP:
How to create your Titan build
For this offensive build, which is supposed to be a lot of fun in PvE while being effective, you’ll need the Striker Titan. This is the Arc subclass.
Take the top of the two ability trees called “Code of the Earthshaker“. This brings three important advantages for the build:
- Seismic Strike: After a short sprint, you can unleash a shoulder charge that triggers an Arc explosion upon impact.
- Aftershock: Inflicting damage to enemies with Seismic Strike charges your grenade.
- Increase: Grants an additional grenade charge, allowing you to charge two grenades with the shoulder charge. Additionally, it extends the duration of your grenades.
For the grenade, you cannot go wrong with the Impulse Grenade. This is one of the best grenades in the game, which when well-placed can destroy not just adds, but also tough bosses.
For the jump and the barrier, you have free choice, but the gunfight barrier is recommended.
The most important item in this build is the One-Eyed Mask. This is an exotic Titan helmet that you can obtain randomly from all sources that can drop exotic engrams. Xur can also bring the helmet.
The special perk of the One-Eyed Mask in Destiny 2 is:
- Transfusion Matrix: Kills with Arc melee abilities trigger health regeneration and restore melee energy.
For the armor piece mods, you can choose:
- Helmet: Arc melee attacks regenerate faster.
- Gauntlets: Arc melee attacks regenerate faster.
- Chest Armor: Grenades charge faster when using an Arc subclass.
- Leg Armor: Grenades charge faster when using an Arc subclass.
The choice of weapons here is not too important. Since you are usually close to enemies, it is worth bringing weapons that are strong at short range, such as hand cannons or submachine guns. Otherwise, established automatic rifles like the Origin Story are strong.
An interesting option is the exotic submachine gun “Risky Business”. This grants you several bonuses when you take Arc damage. It doesn’t matter whether enemies deal Arc damage to you or if you inflict Arc damage on yourself. If you take a little damage from your Impulse Grenade, which can occasionally happen unintentionally, you benefit with Risky Business.
How to play this build?
The shoulder charge and the One-Eyed Mask create a strong combination. With a shoulder charge, you can instantly defeat adds, where the exotic helmet immediately charges the next shoulder charge. Normally, this has a rather long cooldown. One kill is enough to reset the cooldown of your melee attack.
This means you can now sprint across the battlefield and unleash one shoulder charge after another on your enemies. While this requires an offensive playstyle, you also receive health regeneration after each kill thanks to the One-Eyed Mask that keeps you on your feet.
That’s not all: The shoulder charge creates an Arc explosion that damages nearby enemies. For example, you can completely eliminate a pack of Cabal dogs with just one punch.
By having the benefit of “Aftershock“, grenades are charged through kills with the shoulder charge. That way, you can regenerate both Impulse Grenades with a well-timed shoulder charge. Throw these at enemies with high health and happily continue to cut through enemy masses.
Conclusion: This build is definitely among the best Guardian setups in Destiny 2.
How do you play your Titans?
Note: This offensive playstyle is not suitable or possible in all situations. Therefore, the mods on the armor pieces are chosen so that you can still frequently use grenades and melee attacks.
