Top 10 Titan Builds (Ranked)
Come on and Slam
Excels In: All Content
Goal of the Build: Combine Titan’s most powerful exotics into one explosively destructive build. Now enhanced thanks to stat changes.
Mandatory Gear: Stoicism with Spirit of Synthoceps and Spirit of Inmost Light. Khvostov 7G-0X is recommended.
![]() Name: Stoicism | Class: TitanSlot: Class Item | Source: Master RahoolRequires: The Final Shape | Exotic Perk: Can randomly roll with two of the following Stoicism Exotic Traits. |
![]() | Khvostov 7G-0X | Auto Rifle | The Pale Heart | The Final Shape |
- Aspects: Consecration and Knockout (alternative: Diamond Lance).
- Fragments: Facet of Balance, Facet of Protection, Facet of Ruin, and Facet of Purpose.
- Abilities: Glacier Grenade, Frenzied Blade, Thruster, Thundercrash Super.
- Stats: Melee → Grenade → Class.
- Gear Set & Mods: 2-piece Ferropotent or Smoke Jumper.
- Helmet: Hands-On and a Siphon Mod matching your Primary weapon.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Grenade Font.
- Chest: Relevant Resistance Mods.
- Legs: Better Already, Absolution, and Recuperation.
- Class Item: Powerful Attraction, Outreach, and Bomber.
Gameplay Loop
While the loop of this build has not changed (grenade → melee → class ability), what has changed is, well, a lot. For starters, we now get faster cooldowns and higher energy gains on our abilities, and when going past 100, we get added benefits. In the case of your damage dealing abilities, it means even more damage, and for your class ability, you get an overshield.
What does this mean for the build? It means more uptime for your abilities to spam left and right, but it does come at a price. With the new stat system, all gear has only three stats, with the others being boosted by masterworking. So you’ll either need to heavily min-max the stats through Tier 5 armor, or use one of the Font mods to temporarily boost the stat you lack in. You can also take advantage of some of the new weapon perks like Blast Distributor or Proximity Power, which boost your grenade and melee stats, respectively.
Wormgod’s Roar
Excels In: Endgame (Dungeons, Raids, Expert content)
Goal of the Build: Take advantage of Wormgod Caress’s and Roaring Flames’ buff to bonk your way to victory.
Mandatory gear: Wormgod Caress. A one-two punch shotgun or spread-shot handcannon is highly recommended. Praxic Blade is also recommended here.
![]() Name: Wormgod Caress | Class: TitanSlot: Arms | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Free-to-Play | Exotic Perk: Melee kills increase melee damage for a period of time. Additional kills extend duration and increase effects. |
![]() | Praxic Blade | Sword | Exotic Quest | Renegades |
- Aspects: Roaring Flames and Sol Invictus.
- Fragments: Ember of Torches, Ember of Solace, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Singeing.
- Abilities: Towering Barricade, Throwing Hammer, and Firebolt Grenade.
- Armor: Melee.
- Gear Set & Mods: 2-piece Ferropotent.
- Helmet: Hands-On, Siphon mod, Special Ammo Finder.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Impact Induction x2.
- Chest: Relevant Resistance Mods.
- Legs: Innervation, Surge Mod.
- Class Item: Bomber, Powerful Attraction, Reaper.
Gameplay Loop
This build has fallen in and out of meta over time, but with the swathe of melee changes with Edge of Fate, it’s back and better than ever. The loop is not much different than before: build stacks of Burning Fists through melee and finisher kills to nuke anything in your path with a simple hammer.
What’s brought this build back into the limelight, however, is multifaceted. Firstly, Wormgod Caress’s max buff is now a whopping 400% and it no longer has reduced efficiency when used with Roaring Flames. Speaking of, secondly, Roaring Flames had its melee buff increased to 200%. Finally, if one is to reach 200 melee stat, your melee damage is increased by a further 30%. However, this buff is multiplicative, unlike the other buffs here, which are additive. Tack on a One-Two Punch buff, and you can see why this build is bodying bosses like no other.
Super Peacekeeper
Excels In: All Content
Goal of the Build: Take advantage of numerous damage buffs to quickly fire off Supers.
Mandatory Gear: M-17 “Fast Talker” (must have Accelerated Assault origin trait) and Peacekeepers. Any first slot SMG with Target Lock will suffice as an alternative.
![]() Name: Peacekeepers | Class: TitanSlot: Legs | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Free-to-Play | Exotic Perk: Reloads stowed Submachine Guns and allows you to ready them instantly. Improves your handling with SMGs and your movement while wielding one. |
![]() | M-17 Fast Talker | Submachine Gun | Renegades Destination | Renegades |
- Aspects: Knockout and Storm’s Keep
- Fragments: Spark of Recharge, Spark of Shock, Spark of Resistance, Spark of Frequency.
- Abilities: Pulse Grenade, Thunderclap, Rally Barricade, Thundercrash.
- Stats: Weapons → Super → Melee
- Gear Set & Mods: 2-piece Shrewd Survivor.
- Helmet: Hands On, Super Font.
- Arms: Heavy Handed x2
- Chest: Resistance Mods based on your enemies.
- Legs: Mix of Stasis Surge and Weapon Font mods
- Class Item: Reaper, Time Dilation.
Gameplay Loop
As most Titan DPS builds, this one is rather straightforward. During the damage phase, shoot off your Thundercrash and then scurry back to place down your Rally Barricade. Shoot the boss with Fast Talker until your super is back, and rinse and super-peacekeeprepeat until the phase ends or the boss keels over.
What makes this different from our previous iteration is that Outbreak got kneecapped and no longer generates absurd amounts of Super energy. As a fallback, combining Peacekeepers, an SMG that rolls Target Lock, and a very high Weapons stat returns Super energy just as fast as before! The importance of having a god rolled M-17 Fast Talker cannot be understated here: it not only rolls with Attrition Orbs and Target Lock, but the additional origin trait “Accelerated Assault” is another built in damage buff, leading to even faster Super returns. Combine all of this, and you’ll see why this is the most used Titan DPS build as of now.

Strand Redux
Excels In: Casual Content
Goal of the Build: Dive headfirst into combat and lay waste to enemies with your melees while using your allies to help regen it faster than ever before.
Mandatory gear: Wishful Ignorance. A Strand primary weapon is also recommended.
![]() Name: Wishful Ignorance | Class: TitanSlot: Arms | Source: Master RahoolRequires: The Final Shape | Exotic Perk: Gain an additional Frenzied Blade charge. Frenzied Blade and Flechette Storm briefly increase their damage with each strike. Pulses from your Banner of War return melee energy based on the number of allies healed. |
- Aspects: Banner of War and Flechette Storm
- Fragments: Thread of Ascent, Thread of Fury, Thread of Generation, Thread of Warding
- Abilities: Rally Barricade, Grapple Grenade, and Frenzied Blade.
- Stats: Melee → Health → Grenade.
- Gear Set & Mods: 4-piece Collective Psyche.
- Helmet: Hands-On, Siphon Mod.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Impact Induction.
- Chest: Relevant Resistance Mods.
- Legs: Invigoration, Innervation, Recuperation.
- Class Item: Reaper, Powerful Attraction.
Gameplay Loop
Wishful Ignorance has been around for only a little bit, but it’s quickly become the de facto Strand exotic for good reason. On top of granting an extra melee charge, you build up a nice damage buff and get melee ability regen when healing allies via Banner of War. As such, this is meant for non-solo content, as the more allies you heal, the more melee energy you get.
The loop has a few steps to it compared to our other builds here. Firstly, you’ll need to activate Banner of War by getting a melee kill. Once up, toss the Tangle it generated at enemies to regain some melee energy and progress Banner of War’s stacks. Then, start hitting enemies with either Frenzied Blade or Flechette Storm to build up damage and Banner of War stacks. When your melee is out, get near allies to heal them and regain even more melee energy. Rinse and repeat.
Indestructible Skullfort
Excels In: Endgame (Dungeons, Raids, Expert content)
Goal of the Build: Combine the healing from Skullfort and Knockout to breeze through any matter of content.
Mandatory gear: Insurmountable Skullfort and The Navigator.
![]() Name: An Insurmountable Skullfort | Class: TitanSlot: Helm | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Free-to-Play | Exotic Perk: Kills with Arc melee abilities trigger health regeneration and restore melee energy. |
![]() | The Navigator | Trace Rifle | Ghost of the Deep Dungeon | S29 - Updated |
- Aspects: Knockout and Drengr’s Lash.
- Fragments: Facet of Purpose, Facet of Protection, Facet of Balance, Facet of Dawn, Facet of Courage.
- Abilities: Rally Barricade, Thunderclap, Shackle Grenade, Glacial Quake.
- Stats: Melee → Health → Class.
- Mods:
- Helmet: Matching Siphon, Special Ammo Finder.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Impact Induction.
- Chest: x2 Resistance Mods, Health Font.
- Legs: Recuperation, Innervation, Insulation.
- Class Item: Powerful Attraction, Class Font, and Bomber.
Gameplay Loop
This build centers around the changes to player healing, combining several powerful sources of such to become an unstoppable force.
First and foremost, Insurmountable Skullfort. This is nothing new, but given the stark power differences players will face in their leveling journey, being able to heal on any Arc melee kill is very useful. What’s more is that, as melees are now stronger across the board, you’ll have a much easier time looping the melees than ever before. Secondly, Knockout. This will also feed into our healing loop and kick our melees up a notch, especially now that it gives a whopping 160% bonus damage to all melees. And finally, the health stat. Getting this to 100 means any orb you pick up restores 70 HP, which can be combined with Recuperation to give you 85 HP per orb on top of any other effects.
The loop itself is very straightforward. Start the engagement by suspending enemies via Drengr’s Lash, and then Thunderclap them to start the cycle. Toss your shackle grenade at any survivors, melee them too, and collect the orbs to boost your health and class stats, as well as proc Frost Armor. Pop Transcendence when ready, and be sure to use Navigator to give yourself Woven Mail to become a true tank.
Super Supreme
Excels In: Endgame (Dungeons, Raids, Expert content)
Goal of the Build: Take advantage of a high Super stat to spam overcharged Supers faster than ever.
Mandatory gear: Stoicism with Spirit of the Star Eater and Eternal Warrior, along with a good Heavy DPS weapon that matches your Super.
![]() Name: Stoicism | Class: TitanSlot: Class Item | Source: Master RahoolRequires: The Final Shape | Exotic Perk: Can randomly roll with two of the following Stoicism Exotic Traits. |
- Aspects: Knockout and Consecration.
- Fragments: Facet of Courage, Facet of Dawn, Facet of Balance, Facet of Protection.
- Abilities: Shackle Grenade, Frenzied Blade, Thruster, and a Super of your choice.
- Stats: Super → Weapons → Melee.
- Gear Set & Mods: 4-piece Uncaged Deviants.
- Helmet: Hands-On, Harmonic Siphon mod, Heavy Ammo Finder.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Harmonic Loader
- Chest: Relevant Resistance and Reserve Mods.
- Legs: Innervation, Invigoration, Absolution.
- Class Item: Powerful Attraction, Bomber, Outreach.
Gameplay Loop
While similar to another build on this list, this one heavily focuses on blending both Super and heavy weapon damage to chunk away at bosses. However, the idea is relatively the same: fire off your Super and then fire away with your DPS weapon of choice.
Having a high Super stat is paramount here as you want to get your Super back as much as possible, and if you’ve got a Well Warlock or Golden Gun Hunter, you should have no issue building back up stacks of Feast of Light. Having a high stat also improves the damage by up to 45%, so you can see why this is such a strong build, but getting the right stats might take you some time.
Fusion Fall
Excels In: Solo Ops.
Goal of the Build: Dish out high-octane Fusion Grenades like never before thanks to Edge of Fate’s stat changes.
Mandatory gear: Ashen Wake and a Demolitionist weapon.
![]() Name: Ashen Wake | Class: TitanSlot: Arms | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Free-to-Play | Exotic Perk: Fusion Grenades now explode on impact and gain increased throw speed. Final blows with Fusion Grenades grant grenade energy. |
- Aspects: Roaring Flames and Sol Invictus.
- Fragments: Ember of Resolve, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Torches, Ember of Char.
- Abilities: Fusion Grenade, Throwing Hammer, and Rally Barricade.
- Stats: Grenade → Melee → Health.
- Gear Set & Mods: 4-piece Lustrous.
- Helmet: Ashes to Assets, Siphon Mod
- Arms: Firepower, Momentum Transfer
- Chest: Resistance Mods and Reserve Mods
- Legs: Innervation, Recuperation, Surge Mod
- Class Item: Powerful Attraction, Reaper, Bomber
Gameplay Loop
While Ashen Wake hasn’t seen a buff since it gained the ability to stun Unstoppable Champions, that hasn’t ever made it bad, just not as good as the swathe of melee builds out there. However, with Edge of Fate’s stat changes, Ashen Wake finally gets its time in the sun.
The loop is easy as can be: build up Roaring Flames stacks, start chucking your Fusion Grenade at groups of enemies, and watch as it's ready to go again in a matter of seconds. What makes this better than ever is taking advantage of the increased damage from both Roaring Flames and a high grenade stat, netting you a 185% boost to each grenade! And that’s not all, as during the Reclamation season, you can get Shieldcrush, which amplifies the damage by a further 25% just by being Radiant!
Point-Contact Assassin
Excels In: Endgame (Dungeons, Raids, Expert content)
Goal of the Build: Breeze through solo content through invis and massive AoE damage thanks to Prismatic and Stoicism.
Mandatory Gear: Stoicism with Spirit of the Assassin and Contact. Buried Bloodline or Khvostov are recommended.
![]() Name: Stoicism | Class: TitanSlot: Class Item | Source: Master RahoolRequires: The Final Shape | Exotic Perk: Can randomly roll with two of the following Stoicism Exotic Traits. |
![]() | Buried Bloodline | Sidearm | Warlord's Ruin Dungeon | S29 - Updated | ||
![]() | Khvostov 7G-0X | Auto Rifle | The Pale Heart | The Final Shape |
- Aspects: Consecration and Drengr's Lash.
- Fragments: Facet of Dawn, Facet of Hope, Facet of Balance, Facet of Protection, Facet of Purpose.
- Abilities: Thruster, Frenzied Blade, Pulse Grenade, Bladefury.
- Stats: Melee → Health → Class.
- Gear Set & Mods: 4-piece Collective Psyche.
- Helmet: Siphon Mod matching your weapon, Hands-On.
- Arms: Heavy Handed.
- Chest: Relevant Resistance Mod, Health Font.
- Legs: Better Already, Recuperation, Invigoration.
- Class Item: Outreach, Powerful Attraction, Bomber.
Gameplay Loop
The loop is quite simple: use Consecration on a group of enemies to ignite and jolt them, granting yourself invis, amplified, and radiant. Activate Thruster when you approach the next group to proc Drengr’s Lash and pick up orbs, which activates Woven Mail through Facet of Purpose. Kill the suspended enemies, and start from the top.
Once you have Transcendence, activate it to make the loop go even faster. While Transcendent, you’ll be nigh unkillable thanks to its intrinsic damage resistance on top of Facet of Protection and Woven Mail.
With the gear set bonus granted from having 4 pieces of the Collective Psyche set, your suspend duration is increased by a whopping 50%! This means greatly enhanced safety for you going in and out of combat.
One Hammer Man
Excels In: Endgame (Dungeons, Raids, Expert content)
Goal of the Build:Make short work of any champion or mini-boss with the swathe of melee buffs available.
Mandatory gear: Peregrine Greaves, a One-Two Punch weapon, Tractor Cannon.
![]() Name: Peregrine Greaves | Class: TitanSlot: Legs | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Forsaken Pack | Exotic Perk: All shoulder charge abilities (Seismic Strike, Hammer Strike, or Shield Bash) deal bonus damage when activated in the air. |
![]() | Tractor Cannon | Shotgun | Exotic Engram | Season 1 |
- Aspects: Roaring Flames and Sol Invictus.
- Fragments: Ember of Eruption, Ember of Empyrean, Ember of Mercy, and Ember of Searing
- Abilities: Firebolt Grenade, Rally Barricade, Hammer Strike.
- Stats: Melee → Health.
- Gear Set & Mods: 2-piece Ferropotent.
- Helmet: Hands-On, Siphon Mod, Heavy Ammo Finder.
- Arms: Heavy Handed, Melee Kickstart.
- Chest: Relevant Resistance Mods, Charged Up.
- Legs: Stacks on Stacks, Recuperation, Invigoration.
- Class Item: Outreach, Powerful Attraction.
Gameplay Loop
With Edge of Fate, Bungie amped the melee damage buff from Roaring Flames x3, now a whopping 200%! This puts it far above other subclass-based melee buffs, and with it no longer having reduced efficiency on Peregrine Greaves, we’re going to use that to lay waste to the toughest of foes in the hardest of content.
The loop itself is not much different than before, but this time you’ll be focusing on building and maintaining stacks of Roaring Flames. While it’s certainly not the majority of our damage, having that 200% extra damage on top of the 400% or 1000% from Peregrine’s is going to really help us in under-leveled content. Once the stacks are built, just find the enemy you need to put down, hit them with Tractor Cannon, and do your in-air shoulder charge to see them vanish from existence.
Everything else in the build is meant to help out when using your shoulder charge on enemies that won’t refund your melee energy. With a high enough melee stat, it will be back up before you know it, allowing you to chain it without too much concern.
Going further...
Choir of None
Excels In: Endgame
Goal of the Build: Unleash Choir of One’s full potential by pairing it with Actium War Rig’s built-in damage buff.
Mandatory gear: Actium War Rig and Choir of One.
![]() Name: Actium War Rig | Class: TitanSlot: Chest | Source: Exotic EngramsRequires: Free-to-Play | Exotic Perk: Steadily reloads a portion of your equipped Auto Rifle's or Machine Gun's magazine from reserves. |
![]() | Choir of One | Auto Rifle | Exotic Quest | The Final Shape |
- Aspects: Controlled Demolition and Offensive Bulwark.
- Fragments: Echo of Persistence, Echo of Starvation, Echo of Cessation, Echo of Exchange.
- Abilities: Shield Throw and Vortex Grenade.
- Stats: Weapons → Melee → Grenade.
- Gear Set & Mods: 4-piece Last Discipline or 2-piece Ferropotent.
- Helmet: Harmonic Siphon, Special Ammo Finder x2.
- Arms: Melee Fonts, Impact Induction.
- Chest: Resistance Mods, Ammo Generation Mods.
- Legs: Weapon Fonts.
- Class Item: Time Dilation, Powerful Attraction, Reaper.
Gameplay Loop
With Actium War Rig now rocking a damage buff for auto rifles and machine guns, we will take advantage of that to finally show that Titans aren’t all punching.
The idea is simple: build stacks of Auto-Loading Link (War Rig’s buff) by getting kills with Choir of One to amplify its outgoing damage. You'll want to prioritize firing while aiming down sights so as to not waste ammo on the hip-fire spread mode. At max stacks, this totals out to 16% extra damage, and with a high enough weapons stat, you’ll be adding on roughly another 15% damage! Not only does the buff amp your damage, but it also boosts ammo generation, so it will be rather difficult to run out of ammo. Controlled Demolition is crucial here as it plays into Choir of One’s Destabilizing Rounds, which will guarantee healing on every kill, and Offensive Bulwark will help add some extra ability regen when needed.

Best Titan PvP builds
PvP Essentials
PvP is a different ball game when it comes to gearing up and taking your Titan to the max level. Unlike PvE, most gameplay mods such as Elemental Wells and Warmind Cells are disabled in PvP. Those slots are then freed up for more PvP-orientated mods such as Targeting or Unflinching mods.
One thing that does carry over between the game modes is the importance of certain stats. Recovery replaces Resilience as the most important stat. You should always aim to get 100 Recovery or as close as possible. Recovery dictates the speed at which you can engage in fights and can be the difference between a loss and a win.
Due to the current sandbox that focuses on abilities, your next port of call should be to increase your Discipline, Strength, and Resilience as high as possible. Whilst Resilience doesn’t give a damage reduction like in PvE, the increased health can allow you to survive certain weapons and combos. It also grants you a faster barricade, which is always helpful.
Subclasses
Titan is actually in a pretty good spot when it comes to the strength of its subclasses in PvP.
Arc 3.0: Striker
The latest class to get the 3.0 treatment, Arc titan, is incredibly strong in this current meta. Strong Aspects such as Knockout and Touch of Thunder, make titan a force to be reckoned with in close-range engagements. The new thruster class ability adds a new level of movement to the class which has previously lacked behind the other classes. This allows titans to rapidly close the distance and get it to key positions/melee range.
Fragments such as Spark of Magnitude and Spark of Feedback enhance Arc titan’s ability to be a menace in close range. Spark of Magnitude combined with Touch of Thunder grants Titan arguably the best grenades in PVP.
Void 3.0: Sentinel
With the ability to combine the best of the old trees together, Void Titan has been at the top of the PVP meta since the Witch Queen. Void Titan shines the most in smaller game modes such as Elimination, Competitive, and Trials. Bastion provides it with an easily accessible over-shield that is extremely strong in PVP. Combined with one of the best supers for elimination modes, Ward of Dawn, Void Titan has one of the best kits in the game.
Fragments such as Echo of Leaching can be extremely beneficial when in close range, and when combined with Bastion and Offensive Bulwark, can make a very strong close-range class. Other fragments such as Echo of Dilation strengthen the neutral game of this class.
Solar 3.0: Sunbreaker
Whilst having a slightly weaker neutral game when compared to Void or Arc, Solar titan can still hold its own. The aspects are more tailored to PVE however aren’t awful in PVP. Sol Invictus can help to create space and provide you with a source of healing. Whilst its effect is very niche, Roaring Flames can lead to some unexpected one-hit kills if enough kills are chained together. Both supers are usable, with Burning Maul being a relatively unknown counter to Ward of Dawn.
Fragments and Abilities is where Solar 3.0 Titan shines. Healing grenades are a game changer and are often picked over an offensive grenade due to their potency. Radiant is a great buff to have inside PVP. While not an enormous increase, it can be used to change the optimal TTKs of certain weapons and allows you to engage at longer ranges than normal, sometimes catching your opponents off guard. Fragments that buff this, such as Ember of Solace, can be great to choose and build around.
Berserker
Berserker is the king of Titan movement. The combination of Grapple and the three charges of Frenzied Blade melee allows Berserker to move around the map much faster than any other titan subclass.
Whilst not meta-defining, Berserker can still be used effectively in all the different PVP playlists. Building into the suspend mechanic is the best way to go around creating a Berserker PVP build.
Pros:
- Powerful crowd-control abilities (Suspend)
- Fantastic movement
- Great Super
Cons:
- Weaker Neutral Game
- Long Cooldowns
- Higher Skill Floor
Stasis: Behemot
The strengths of the Stasis Titan are similar in PvE and PvP: Area denial and control. While it may be weaker than the other subclasses in terms of killing potential, the utility of Stasis can sometimes be a good choice. The aspects and fragments that are usually chosen in PvE also work well inside the crucible. Whisper of Chains is a great choice, as the extra resistance it provides can affect the optimal TTK of certain weapons used by your opponents.
Glacier grenades and Howl of the Storm are great choices to help gain map control too. The crystals not only serve as a source of ability regeneration and resistance but can also be used to block sight lines or cut down longer lanes. These can also be used to help close the gap or provide some respite from your opponents.
Best PvP Titan Exotics
General Exotics
| Armor | Class | Type | Requirements | Source | Released | Requires | Exotic Perk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Dunemarchers | Titan | Legs | Free-to-Play | Exotic Engrams | Season 1 | Free-to-Play | Increases sprint speed. Sprinting builds up a static charge. After melee-attacking an enemy, that charge will chain damage to nearby enemies. |
![]() One-Eyed Mask | Titan | Helm | Forsaken Pack | Exotic Engrams | Season 4 | Forsaken Pack | Highlights the enemy who dares to damage you. Track down and destroy your enemy for an overshield. |
![]() Synthoceps | Titan | Arms | Free-to-Play | Exotic Engrams | Season 1 | Free-to-Play | Increased melee lunge range. Improved melee and Super damage when you're surrounded. |
There are loads of viable exotics for Titans to use inside the Crucible.
Dunemarchers are a good example of an exotic that has stood the test of time. The added mobility they provide as well as the extra lightning chain upon punching an opponent makes them extremely strong for all subclasses. Titans have struggled to keep up with the other classes, and Dunemarchers help to close that gap.
The infamous One-Eyed Mask is still a solid choice inside PVP. While is nowhere near as strong as it once was, it still is a competitive option for all subclasses. Its exotic perk “Vengeance” grants you an over-shield for defeating an opposing guardian. This gives you an advantage when it comes to the next fight due to the health increase.
Synthoceps are another strong exotic that work with any titan subclass. The extra melee range can catch opposing guardians off guard and pair well with a close-range weapon such as a shotgun or SMG.
Subclass-specific Exotics
| Armor | Class | Type | Requirements | Source | Released | Requires | Exotic Perk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Loreley Splendor Helm | Titan | Helm | The Witch Queen | Lost Sectors | Season 16 | The Witch Queen | When you have Sun Warrior, your Sunspots heal you. When you are critically wounded, create a Sunspot at your location. |
Perhaps the better-known and strongest subclass-specific exotic for Titan is the Loreley Splendor helmet. Even after receiving a nerf, it is still widely used and surprisingly strong. The extra source of instant restoration makes it very strong for 1v1 situations as opposing guardians have to hit additional shots in order to take you down.

Seems like this is the titan page instead of hunter.
The literal title is best builds for Titans lol.
Can this be updated for season of the wish?
theese seriously need to be updated
Please please please can these builds be updated? The Hunter and Warlock pages are all recent-ish.
This really needs to be updated.
I would love to see an update to the PVP section of each class. Seems like the Warlock did, but not the Hunter or Titan; still referencing the old stats and doesn’t even mention prismatic in the list of subclasses
