Strand has always been my go-to Titan Subclass as it’s devastating and easy to use. Prismatic may finally change that. Here are our Best Destiny 2 Titan Prismatic builds: Aspects, Fragments, and abilities.
Best PvE Prismatic Titan build in Destiny 2
I foolishly wrote off the Prismatic Subclass at launch because I figured it wasn’t as survivable as the legendary Banner of War Titan. That build is still viable, but Prismatic Titans are spoiled for choice ofways to stay alive.
This build has everything I want in a Titan. Mountains of damage reduction and a focus on punching things in the face! Here’s how it works:
Best Hunter’s Journal Artifact Perks for the Prismatic Titan
There are some potent bonuses available in theHunter’s Journal, so make sure to equip them. Don’t worry if you can’t access all of these right away, but here are some Perks I recommend you work toward:
Radiant Orbs and Galvanic Armor are straight bonuses to our survivability. While we don’t use the Void subclass, we do use the Prismatic Super,Twilight Arsenal, which is Void.Shieldcrushpairs nicely with our Super and makes us nigh unkillable while it’s live.
Best PvE Prismatic Titan Aspects and Fragments
After trying out multiple Prismatic builds and ideas, here’s the build that works best for me, even at a level deficit:
Knockout is easily one of the strongest Aspectsavailable to the Prismatic Titan and is one of several avenues we use for survivability. I’ve tentatively put Diamond Lance in the build, but you have a few options here.I desperately want to recommend Consecration, but I find it unreliable and awkward. If you have no issue with the ability, it works great with our Fragments and gives decent Radiance uptime.
I findDiamond Lance easy to use, and it goes well with our Glacier Grenades, which I’ll talk about later.
As for Fragments, theFacet of Protectionis essential for damage reduction.Facet of Purposepairs with our Prismatic Super and gives us a Void Overshield whenever we pick up an Orb of Power. I findthat Facet of Ruinis always a viable fragment if you use Stasis or Solar, andFacet of Dawngives us Radiance. Finally,Facet of Couragemakes our Thunderclap deal incredible damage if they are affected by our Diamond Lances or Glacier Grenades.
These Aspects and Fragments may be hard to visualize without the Abilities to tie them to, so let’s hit those next.
Best PvE Prismatic Titan Abilities
You canchange your Class and Movement abilities to suit your preferences, but the remaining three Abilities make the build work. The Prismatic Titan Super,Twilight Arsenalis a phenomenal damage dealer and is wonderfully stylish. As it’s Void, we get Overshields from our Facet of Purpose, which is another defensive boon for the build.
Thunderclap is a great melee abilitythat can be charged to deal even more damage. We gain Radiance from Facet of Dawn and this will happen a lot if you fully charge those Thunderclap punches. TheGlacier Grenade is one of our routes to filling our Darkness bar with Transcendence. We’ve buffed it with the Fragment of Ruin, and Fragment of Courage makes our Thunderclap punches deal more damage against frozen targets.
Best PvE Prismatic Titan Exotics and Mods
Exotic Armor
Armor Mods
I don’t like builds that strongarm me into specific weapon choices. In my opinion, there are too manycool legendary weaponsin Destiny 2 to only use a handful. I’ve suggested a few decent weapons, butthis build works like a contained engine as we lean heavily into our Arc melee prowess. Brigand’s Law and Indebted Kindness both require Voltshot to truly pop off, so keep that in mind.
While theEdge Transitmay seem like a poor fit for an Arc and Stasis build, it’s ridiculous in damage phases if you have one with Envious Assassin and Bait and Switch.
There are a few Exotics that would work well with our Aspects and Fragments, but I recommend the Severence Enclosure. It’s a simple Exotic, but makes our Thunderclap Punches deal even more damage as our opponents explode when they die.
Can I use this build in the Crucible?
At the time of writing, it’s hard to say how Prismatic builds will work in PvP.Fragments work differently between PvE and PvPand can be essential in one mode and dreadful in the other. Most of the build in this guide should be OK in the Crucible, but I’dswap your primary weaponto something like the Unending Tempest SMG with Dynamic Sway Reduction and Target Lock.
As most guns work fine with this build, make sure you’ve gotevery Exotic weapon you needfor the tough battles ahead.
