SPEAR vs TANK (Build Battles Episode 18) | Destiny 2 Into the Light

[@helleboreofficial4692]

As a Stronghold main on Titan, blocking is only 2/3 of gameplay. You can still attack, and you should so you can get that Restoration buff. Plus, sword kills proc Banner of War. Lament also heals you on swordstrikes, so idealy youre getting constant healing, and also Woven Mail when picking up orbs and breaking tangles.

[@nathanroyster1324]

I feel like someone needs to hold Cross' hand through a stronghold build. It's actually surprising how little he understands about using strongholds with how much he plays and as a titan main

[@Will_Fong]

This is why the competition need to evaluate the creator's own run as well see how they run it optimally.

[@dahSweep]

I don't get how he still doesn't understand how the exotic works lol

32:06 "This build is not meant to be a high-slaying build". Yes, yes it is Cross. Strongholds just make you not die, Lament and Banner of War handles the slaying part. You just don't understand how to use the Exotic, even after like four build battle submissions featuring it. Block to avoid things like splodey shanks and thrall, otherwise you just block enough to trigger the exotic perk to get restoration. Then you go to town and murder everything, which you can since you are on Strand Titan. When your restoration runs out, block again to get it back. You CAN use it like you did, as a tank, but then you really need teammates that pull their weight. You CAN stand there and just block the tormentor, or you can time your blocks to its attacks and swing at it yourself while it's not actively attacking you.

Cross still needs to work on his sword skills with strongholds but this is much better than last time, actually using a subclass that has synergy with swords and whatnot. A tip for lament when using the charged up attacks is to not move during the attacks otherwise you phase through the enemy.

[@zferolie]

i presonally like thrown cleaver over layment for strongholds. feel like the ammo is a bit better, and i can save my exotic for something else, for me rat king for some extra survability with invis and more healing, but you could go a more dps option if you want.

The beauty of buried bloodline and felwinters helm is that it can refresh the 30% debuff from felwinters. Many people don't know that the reapplication of weaken extends the strongest weaken effect applied at the time. The only exception to this is Hunter tether, as its 30% weaken effect will be removed after the tether is gone.

[@user_the_Hanabi]

Actually with graplling is also very Good choice for felwinter too. You'd never make suspension burst by killing with invocation on shackle. Instead generating threadrings as same as finisher, And make debuff explosion by killing with grappling punch! That is nice, try it bro.

[@silentib1534]

Both builds after my own heart, a finisher build and a stronghold build. Gotta say as a Stronghold main I agree with cross though, Strongholds relies a lot on your teammates ability to deal with ads. The gameplay loop of being able to push very aggressively with strongholds is much better in Grandmasters than it is in Onslaught, partially because we still don't have a perfect sword to pair strongholds with for the scenario. We need some kind of aggro drawing exotic sword of some kind, or one that can passively deal damage while guarding, but as of now the vision just isn't 100% there.

[@jackthompson7546]

see thats the type of build i want in front of me. just follow him with my solar hunter build and just explode everything in front of him with never having to worry xD

[@Fir7shadow]

Oh, imagine an exotic sword that reflects damage back at enemies while blocking. Give Shriekers a taste of their own medicine outside of Pit of Heresy.

[@nathanroyster1324]

I think you need to expand your stronghold build game homie. I have a strand and solar stronghold build that is great for add clear. strand build: crafted thin precipice with hatchling/tireless blade/swordmasters guard. Thread of propagation/continuity/warding/generation. triple lucent blades and strand surge. Unraveling and threadlings everywhere. My personal fav is the solar one though. Uses crafted thrown cleaver with incandescent/tireless blade. Ember of benevolence/empyrean/solace/torches. two light swings on a group of ads spreads scorch and they ignite. Sometimes I actually gain more ammo than I use with that build just killing ads. For that build I run riptide for champions and sunshot in my energy slot and swap it with polaris lance for boss rooms so I can stunlock/do damage at range and use strongholds for ads upclose. You can also craft a surrounded/duelist's trance thrown cleaver for boss DPS on roaming bosses. Obviously apply the applicable artifact mods and go crazy

[@erickdiaz1703]

​@@Fir7shadowthis is what I was thinking about too. Something like that would be awesome

[@andrewbeauman]

I love seeing the strongholds/lament combo in play. I use that ALL the time to run support tank. Just run around. pull agro, grab res when people drop, pop super when you're bored. SO good

[@eldrielle6327]

So the way i use stronghold basically resembles the felwinter build here, to do a lot of finishers, spawning threadlings as a way to do safe dmg, with proximity ward and healthy finisher, fragments are warding, continuity, finality and evolution, using 2 lucent blades and a reserve mod for the sword, otherwise the rest is similar. This tank build shines a lot more in GM, going into the frontline to draw aggro, enemies attack you instead of your team, keeping them safe in the back to dps. As shown by Cross here, tanking dangerous targets like Tormentors completely neutralize them as a threat, and normally you can suppress/blind/suspend them, its not the case for boss variant Tormentors like here in onslaught. The best use case is when tanking a boss to bait their stomp attack over and over, your allies never have an easier time just worrying about melting down the boss

[@alaskayoung3413]

Thank you. I finish and create threadlings on so manh enemies and I usually use threadling grenade too. I’m Usually top or second in damage even while usually stronghold. But u have to use the mods like u said to keep u alive.

[@lucienmoolman8017]

Does reserve mods work on swords now?

[@eldrielle6327]

@@lucienmoolman8017 it does but there is a cap on how much ammo a sword can have, it seems to be 70, after 70 sword ammo reserve mods stop working

[@eldrielle6327]

@@alaskayoung3413 to explain more on this, while you're out there tanking, your team should be doing dmg, if any enemies are finishable, thats a safer way to sustain yourself, trying to get a few slices with the sword in a GM while under heat is a deathwish, there's a skill curve of knowing when its safe to go offensive and get that restoration x2. Also i use shackle grenade to disable certain targets, works well for the build's goal, make it safer to attack with swords too, but if you use threadling grenade, feel free to switch continuity out for binding which add more crowd control to your super, good for onslaught, or generation

[@bolotniy]

DUDE I FUCKING LOVE LAMENT STRONGHOLD there's so much nuance to it. it's a cool and rewarding playstyle and I fucking love it the strand build Cross used is not that great for onslaught, honestly. it's unnecessarily tanky. just slap on sunshot or something. incoming wall of text and nerd tips: run atleast 1 lucent blade. never go full tank, move constantly. scoot around with titan skating. both strafe and catapult lift have their pros and cons, but both are good in the long run. every titan should already be used to constant jumping to go fast. if you don't have restoration or war banner, chip damage will hurt a lot. air attacks are always quicker than ground attacks. if you have things actively shooting you and you want to kill an add/proc restoration quickly, go for an aerial light attack. it clings to enemies like crazy and has less recovery frames. Lament aerial combos deal a bit less damage and the Lament aerial heavy is unreliable at best. go for them when you feel they are needed. grounded attacks are best for dealing actual damage. they rarely miss. they have their uses for neutral play too, gotta get a feel for it. obviously, try to not run out of ammo. use ammo efficient single target damage specials, low maintenance primaries. this helps with ammo economy a whole lot, as you won't need to use lament on damn everything. solar specials are especially great, double dip on surges and scav. you can run ad clear specials if you want, but i don't find it as good personally. hoping for a solar special sidearm. this is one build where running a kinetic primary is more than acceptable. they're good at base. you don't need any surges on those, hell, some don't even need a damage buff. attrition orbs / kinetic tremors multimach, and explosive payload / firefly fatebringer are my favorites. don't go for long ranged primaries, since you're not gonna be in the back, like, at all. you're not as invincible in hard content. let anything melee you without block or any high damage resistance / overshield, and you're either on your deathbed or a wasted revive token. if you don't have healing on, you can suffocate under chip damage. exploding units are genuine threats. trading hits should be avoided, as it can be devastating. if you want to take this build to legend and master difficulties, and especially GMs, you gotta learn it, or you're gonna be really frustrated most importantly - expect major jank. destiny melee is fucked. your hits might not register, your heavies might tp you behind your target or miss entirely, your strand melee might stop working after blocking, sword lunges might break and not move you at all, etc. it is what it is, be ready for it

[@michaela8426]

I read all this

[@zaramintheequanimous]

strongholds make most swords viable in endgame too because infinite blocking + resistx4 is so good. the only sword that doesn't function well imo would be Worldline zero - can't run while blocking = no blink swipes.

Same. Strand, Conditional Finality + Something with Voltshot + Repulsor/Destabilising Rounds covers like 10 subclass keywords. It’s not exactly Metah but man is it a lot of fun

[@MilkChugger369]

Personally I think grapple is better since the melee counts as a powered melee and it can spawn threadlings

[@Ranthop]

@MilkChugger369 That's what I use, but I also incorporate Repulsar Brace instead Woven Mail.

[@DuBdaZeas]

Also a 24/7 Lament / Sword Titan player: Indeed, Strand combinded with stronghold is incredible! Done all GM's last weekend and I gotta say, if you know how to use a sword properly you'll be tanking a whole room whilst cleaving down any champion in your way. Also great way to revive fallen allies with ease. The only thing that can screw you up is getting grabbed by a tormentor. Protip, Never use all the ammo of your sword, because even with 1 ammo, you could kinda block forever. Happy slashing guardians!

[@travis_coop]

Watched this Build Battle yesterday. Was really surprised how well the Fellwinter’s build did, but also thought the Titan “Tank” build was hilarious to watch. Although the Titan build was very good, my one thing about it is that is takes you out of the battle and makes you solely the tank. Whereas other games allow you to be the “tank” and still deal out dps. Still a great Build Battle to witness. Fun stream!

[@csnation]

You can still throw swings between blocking, but it depends a lot on the player. A player used to a tank build will be able to assess when it is ok to start hitting without too much risk to himself.

[@christopher_loren]

You dont even need lament outside of boss phases or GM champion. Using thin precipice can spawn unravel and threadlings like crazy making you an add clearing monster. You just need one teammate on aeons or cenotaph and you are literally unkillable.

[@helleboreofficial4692]

Oh shit I never considered Thin Precipice before, I've only ever ran with Throne Cleaver or Lament. Damn, I'll need to try that out.

[@pch1370]

I really like pairing Felwinter with Solar because the snap can make an ignition on any target if you angle it downward to the floor. If one of the little fireballs of the snap kills an add near a beefier enemy that you hit with the snap, it will activate Felwinter's Helm before the enemy has finished igniting, so that one enemy is gonna end up weakened and exploding at the same time, basically getting fucking obliterated out of existence. It's hilarious. Also that big ignition/weakening nuke you make with your snaps are giving you more melee energy back if you are in the air when you have the Heat Rises aspect equipped, which is really easy to do if you just jump right after starting an ignition. You can get full melee energy back instantly if you kill a big enough group.

[@Menderino]

One cool thing about Felwinter's helm is that the weakening wave seems to also "stun" enemies when they get affected, it's like having weaken and blind at the same time

[@christianglassel9950]

I run a Severance Enclosure Titan most of the time and the threadling generation on finisher is awesome. Finish the small/medium targets, generate tons of threadlings, lets the threadlings chunk down the beefy targets, kill or finish the big boys, rinse/repeat. Add in the constant explosions from SE and it's a good time.

[@joshuaowens570]

I use strong hold but with bubble titan with bastion/offensive bulwark aspect. I have an old falling guillotine sword with energy transfer. You spam overshield the more u get damage. The only downside is its more of a defensive/juggernaut build. Fyi you can tank anything with stronghold x100 perfect guard with mods in the chest piece as long as it doesn’t get behind you or revive your teammates while you block. It seems like it deflects the damage back

[@timmyredcat]

Strongholds titan is absolutely wonderful even without lament. You get banner of war going right and you have burst guard on any sword you become unkillable so send it with your preferred sword. I ran a dragon cult with burst and was a absolute powerhouse with chain reaction and i included vexcalibur for unnecessary overshield. I honesty prefer other swords because of the free exotic slot and the better guards. If you arent experienced in juggling banner and woven mail i recommend lament because better healing, but if you can keep your banner and woven up i recommend other swords and a preferred exotic. Falling guillotine rolls with burst and plenty of good perks, fenzy surrounded is fantastic for onslaught, or chain reaction, or destabilizing to help you get those sword kills for banner. I seriously hope cross tries again with different swords to get a better feel for it.

That's a you thing though, no one is forcing you to play with or run boring builds(and you certainly can get clears with a variety of options).

Onslaught has been great for the game imo, while the ability has always been there, it has seemed to spark more of the community to experiment and get creative with new combos/builds, dusting off old forgotten and lesser used exotics, etc. Here's to hoping they killed it with Pantheon as well and its just as enjoyable.

[@Marklovesmovies]

I've been a Stronghold Titan main since beyond light came out and it will also probably be what I run when the final shape arrives. You will have better luck running a legendary sword instead of lament because the hit tracking on lament is bad and you could run a stasis sword with cold edge and it will stun overloads and with enough hits it's done unstoppables as well. You can also double down into strand and run the thin precipice I have one with enhanced relentless strikes and enhanced chain reaction with the mod that kills can produce threadlings and with chain reaction I'm getting threading explosions everywhere!

I gotta say that the SH gameplay here was very solid from Cross, the only issue is the weapon selection. You can use Wavrframes like Tusk or Forbearance for great add clear and a utility/ranged special or primary

[@Dan016]

The way cross said “To the right” was weirdly wholesome lol

[@Efosu33]

Felwinters on void would go even crazier. Finisher invis plus volatile finisher, plus final blows while surrounded gives super energy

[@ProverbsPoker]

The Stronghold/Lament combo is insane been using it a lot before the Winterbite poke. To make it better you add back in some damage and utility by using threadling/finisher generation for ad clear since the unraveling stuff is pointless.

[@sarus-x1422]

Tormentors' grab ability usually requires you to be at some minimum amount of range. If you're in point-blank range, they probably won't even start the animation to grab you because their slam takes priority.

For that strongholds build. I myself use Thronecleaver as the sword of choice, then ratking as the exotic. Gives you some extra survivability and invise to get out of s sticky situation, and thronecleaver has some crazy damage to deal with anything i need to. Special I havent settled on yet honestly. controlled burst fusion, hell forebarence would be great for add clear, but ratking is probably good for that. probably best with a controlled burst fusion

[@VoiiDzZv]

[@zferolie]

@@zferolie I’m gonna try it out definitely, but I think I’d prefer it with pugilist because I use the melee a lot more than my grenade. Obviously souldrinker is S tier for healing you when you’re not blocking with your sword.

I've been running a very similar Felwinter Strand Warlock build for 6-8 months. Man I feel stupid for not submitting it to Build Battles. Mine uses Monte Carlo with Strand Grapple and Weavewalk. You can proc the Warlord's End debuff with a charged melee, a finisher, your grapple melee, and a finisher from the safety of Weavewalk immediately back into Weavewalk. Hope Warlocks enjoy the power of Strand Felwinter.

[@route77productions]

Well locks have a curious brain. There I was, wave 10 on Legend and I’ve been slaying with a Stasis Winterbite Triton Vice build and despite being able to shred mini bosses. Boss time came, literally asked for a well on the boss and the warlock just placed it at the back and there I was with my Winterbite. Clearing ads, basically useless with no form of healing. Yes, got almost 900 kills with Winterbite when all was said and done. Chain Reaction shot with Triton is OP with Winterbite and Edge of Concurrence, but due to low ammo economy with Winterbite, has to be used sparingly.

Finishers on explosive enemies do not kill you. The corpses get sent flying and only explode as they land (even if they get vaporized). Still a good idea to rock Proximity ward though in case you knock the corpse at other explosive enemies to avoid being killed by chain reactions.

For the same reason Drifter starving to death was HELL, I imagine if a guardian needed to relieve themselves... Bronn learned it when he was six.

[@GetSqueezy]

I just used the felwinter build and had ridiculous fun

[@nathanpotter236]

These vids actually got me back on Titan

[@timothyrapp1741]

Watching paint dry > watching that second build (I love these videos and I can see the utility of the build, just not riveting gameplay, lol)

[@Funnhouse]

I though BoW Lament was cooking until I found my void double bubble trouble build. Using the titan exotic glave and wormgod caress. I even use the glave shield to keep my lvl 3 decoys alive during tormentor attacks.

[@YoboSenpai]

I need more out of pocket conversations during build battles 😂 makes it more interesting

[@smiddyman]

I use the Felwinter's on Strand but with grapple grenade. The melee creates three threadlings.

[@MO-vs3dg]

I just blasted thru a legend with the Tank build. Solid as they come. Banner, woven, resto, and stronghold made me literally unkillable to everything!

[@ccarriere5935]

You should make a fireteam build battle to try to find the best synergy

[@BO_9110]

So the reason why the Tormentor didn’t grab was due to the distance between you and Tormentor. Once the distance is about 10 meters, he is more likely to try and grab you. If you are right underneath, he will just keep slamming you.

[@cameronsalmon1314]

Felwinter can actually apply its debuff when you kill enemies with objects (Like the batteries)

[@EtherealSky5594]

So i just found out that you can proc the weaking effect from felwinters with the adu battery by getting a kill with it. It's nice

[@bellarue6738]

Going off the 9:45 point: since blood hardens when it’s done the “phalanx” is still going strong so morticians will need to break it for open casket funerals. Random hospital facts!

[@LeeFox1337]

That titan build seems like something that will randomly be the best thing. But nobody knows where yet.

[@ichigoshinobia.k.alitshino9781]

use the chair finisher to increase the range of the of the weaken or explosion effects

[@nickjbank5839]

The only problem with lament stronghold in onslaught is the insane number of explosive enemies making the build less than viable against the waves of ads that you normally would mindlessly peel through without a care in the world no matter the light level difference so long as you master the rhythm of the enemies vs sword swings. Also, you can sword the shrieker boss at the base of the tip which is on the ground. Babysitting physical bosses like Crota, Nezarec, and Rhulk in Pantheon will be god slaying tier because you can take the boss out of the fight and make them your bitch while your raid team members do mechanics without being one shot by anything the boss throws out (minus Rhulk darkness which is just a skill issue).

[@endercongamer0125]

I think one of the problems with stronghold in onslaught is that most enemies have more agro towards the battery more than the player

[@wyguy1712]

Get x4 banner of war, woven mail, x100 of perfect guard then go ham with the sword. I've been using variants of this build since season of the chosen. Strongholds are heavily slept on. I'll admit the ammo eco of swords isn't the best but holy shit is the build fun once you get the rhythm down.

[@d.onovan9970]

The stronghold build was the right idea but the wrong sword, I have a build that I use that utilizes it and throne-cleaver is the sword you wanna use. Incandescent and tireless blade fixes that ammo economy problem then for bosses you switch to a surrounded role for throne-cleaver.

[@AMV_KINGDOM_mv]

Stronghold is an actual good build as well but others dont like not being the main character in someway which is why they dont like it

[@pappaal]

It's crazy how you get banner of war from blocking and ads exploding near you.

[@RIPJAW10]

season of the haunted finisher is the best

[@arakinilol]

You don't die to finishing exploders - unless there are other exploders around it that blow you up right after ofcourse.

[@Avoncarstien]

Just getting started, but *shocked* the strand build isn't running the tangle->melee energy fragment.

[@Pheofalco]

as a forensic sci, confirm the last room on the right with crazy chinese paper on it is the crime scene.

[@rehanakhtar4743]

We are almost at the end of the season. Its time to pit all the winner's builds against each other. Let's find out. What is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Like a tournament of builds.
