In Destiny , the exotic helmet “The Glass House” is among the items that come with Darkness Lurking for Titans. Is it worth buying this helmet from Xur?
For a few more hours, the exotic DLC helmet “The Glass House” is available from Xur for 13 strange coins and that for 13 strange coins. Is the helmet worth it today, tomorrow, or when it appears again in Xur’s offering? Does it have a chance of earning the title Best Exotic Armor Piece for Titans and Defenders?
The Glass House: Fun for the Whole Group
“The Glass House” is a somewhat strange combination of traits. Melee attacks occur faster, kills with grenades grant super energy, and the helmet’s most important trait has a supporting function, as “Dipped in Light” increases the duration of the group buffs Blessing of Light and Weapons of Light by 5 seconds. Currently, Weapons of Light is popular due to its enormous damage buffs in a 6-player group, especially when going against Atheon. Should there be boss encounters in the future that have a phase where it is important for everyone to deal as much damage as possible to an enemy, the helmet could shine.
The helmet “Glass House” is primarily suitable for “Defenders,” the defensive orientation of the Titan. However, those with the “Helm of Saint-14” actually already have a great option among the helmets, and the chest piece Mark of Alpha Lupi serves an interesting support function as an “Orb” provider, and even in PvP, the additional orbs prove useful. The two other exotic helmets “An Unyielding Bulwark” and “Helm of the Inner Light” are more intended for the Striker.
Strong Competition from Other Exotic Armor Pieces for the Defender
“The Glass House” is most justified when you place the group in the foreground: Because both Blessing of Light and Weapons of Light are extended by 5 seconds when the Defender wears “The Glass House.” They go from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. This is due to the trait “Dipped in Light.”
If you ask around among experts online, “The Glass House” is considered a decent option for the Defender, especially if he wants to fulfill a strong supportive role for the group. However, the “Helm of Saint-14” has some advantages due to the “blinding bubble” and “The Mark of Alpha Lupi” is also a strong candidate for the exotic armor slot of the defensive Titan in Destiny.
So it’s not a must-buy for Defenders. Or what do you think?
