[@DerultimativeOzzy]

As a Titan enjoyer, I would have voted for the Hunter build too. Not just because it is so potent with transcendent ability spam but also because the entire gameplay loop in and outside of transcendent looks fun as hell to play with. That's a build you can bring anywhere and enjoy yourself. Peak build!

[@Syrock1]

​@denny8422 my thoughts exactly. I use collective alot and I don't think he was using it to it's full potential where you get an almost infinite mag when gaining buffs. Not sure if it was the build or the operator but he definitely didn't use the alt fire nearly enough

[@denny8422]

@@Syrock1 only Devour gives you the free refill on kill and I don't think Prismatic Titan has any access to Devour outside of Buried Bloodline but I could be wrong. that's on both Cross for not pointing it out and the player but it don't really matter that much I just want ppl to know how the gun works

[@NoxxeRArt]

​@@denny8422 wrong, all void buffs grant ammo refill *over time*, not kill on this weapon specifically, i used this weapon almost religiously with void titan and bastion, and just having a void overshield active procced the exotic perk that refunded ammo over time.

First one shoulda been called “Lore accurate prismatic hunter”

[@Modern_and_industrial_lighting]

the trancendance uptime on that first build is making me feel weird things in my body.

[@Shadowlrd265]

The raid pulse sounds like mouse clicking sound effect, and it’s all I could think about in the build

[@jimmcmeen761]

I’m happy the Titan was at least trying something different. Prismatic Titan just can’t compete with top lock and hunter builds// survivability and utility right now. Consecration has to be used but if can be risky and maybe Peregrine greaves but also prettty risky

[@lostsurferjames5]

Definitely a good team build with all the buffs/debuffs it was putting out, but yea it doesn't hold up to what the other classes can do solo.

[@nottyler6776]

@@lostsurferjames5which is insane lmao. How did the literally f***ing tanks of the battlefield fall so damn short in this expansion 😂 it’s embarrassing and I’m glad they’ve acknowledged it but I can’t wait for the fixes. The buffs to Twilight and Hammers of Sol are a good Segway to get the ball rolling on what will eventually be the dominant class cuz cmon. Titans for life ❤

[@nikoclesceri2267]

The problem with prismatic titans is anything you can do with them can be done infinitely better on the original subclasses. You want consecration build it’s better on solar. You want a thunderclap build, it’s better on arc. Etc

[@vernaltear]

Peregrine on Void Titan with the invisibility on finishers fragment is incredibly powerful AND safe. It essentially means you get to one shot champions in complete safety (invisibility), and then get both devour (heavy handed + devour fragment), suppress everything around you (shield bash does this naturally) and give yourself an overshield. Very powerful and dependable!

[@rRavshArkitek]

Most of the fastest solo GM runs on yt are done on consecration (and occasionally peregrine!) titan with syntos + inmost. Prismatic titan has one potent build that's easy to use, but damn does it destroy the competition with the other classes

[@arthurchandler4770]

It’s a shame to because the Titan build is actually really strong and creative it’s just that titans themselves are over all to weak without prioritizing their melee attacks. I feel like if we got sun spots on prismatic it would have changed everything becuase that opens up so many combos

[@oldsaddad7274]

Everyone really quick to call titans weak instead of the objective truth that everything else is absolutely broken as all hell

[@arthurchandler4770]

@@oldsaddad7274true I guess the proper term would be weaker then everything else. Which if everything else is stronger it creates a baseline. So if titans fall below it that makes them weak.

[@ttk-ainil]

I think on the first build things that add to transcendence are DOT melee and grenade. when you throw your snare bomb into a crowd, you immediately fill your light bar. Same thing can be said for the duskfield grenade. When you add the inmost light exotic to it (especially when snarebomb gives you 15 seconds of 2x empower), you have constant skill AND transcendence uptime

sometimes it actually feels like hoil spirit on the class item is doing more than the actual exotic lmao

[@hectornieves537]

​@lordofwhip it's same regen just no dmg empowerment so makes sense

[@mtdonlon]

It’s cuz us titans can’t cheese/chain the hoil cooldown buff effectively like hunters can with gamblers dodge. I swear man every titan exotic perk that got shared with the other classes was nerfed hard for titans beforehand, and then became infinitely more effective on the other classes (hunter mainly)

[@rollinallonce]

everytime i use witherhord i forget how much i absolutely love it, such good damage and the catalyst is amazing

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

I might try that Hunter build but with Forerunner specifically for cases like that annoying champ above. The grenade it produces should count as a grenade for Cyrtarachne and likely HoIL and will give you some nice damage to take care of champs a little quicker where it's harder to hit with Witherhoard. Though it might not produce as much Transcendence energy, which is the strongest part about that build.

[@NickFogg-s8r]

I run the same hunter build but with stasis shuricans and stylish ex instead of threaded. the amount of invis you get from the freeze and if you run it with indebted / volt shot you are unkillable.

I bought into the hype with Prismatic but recently went back to my old Threadling Warlock build to complete the Final Warning catalyst and wow it is ridiculously strong. Stronger than anything Prismatic has to offer.

[@Tann_Solo]

I use a similar Hunter build but with Galanor instead of Inmost Light. So instead of getting transcendence all the time I get my super back quickly. I go with tether, graviton Lance, and edge transit for void synergy, and the call for special. I want to try out gunpowder gamble with this build since it counts for cyrtarachne, but idk if it’s worth giving up threaded specter or the stasis one, though.

[@curtisgeist6122]

Me before video: “Spirit of innmost/synthoceps is god tier” Me after video: “Well back to the landing I go”

[@Elizan723]

Im not very capable of using witherhoard, so ive been using a similar build with khovastov or a crafted outbreak and well the super and transcendance up time are still insane. I use indebted kindness and crux with arc siphon but when that new solar pistol comes out, im definitely switching.

[@PeetaManUnited]

Love build battles

[@caseymcguire7520]

This video makes me feel like I'm a god... Thanks for the confidence boost lol

[@Binetti816]

With the GL on the Titan u need to spread out the blasts on more enemy’s to get the darkness up faster. It only tics a certain amount of time on 1 enemy if it’s the whole load or some of it which is why u spread it to hit as many enemies as possible

[@Griever_404]

I have a similar build for the Hunter, but with Jolting Arc grenades, Withering Blade, and instead of Winter's Shroud, I have Gunpowder Gamble. I encourage you to test it.

[@ava3603]

The prismatic regen on the first build is insane

[@COREcasual]

I use this build for GM except I use gunpowder gamble instead of shroud because throwing the GG grenade also grants woven mail. So it's an extra source of keeping woven mail up almost all the time. Plus extra damage

Maybe it's lust me but I feel like Drengr's Lash is just not worth using without Abeyant Leap, but the problem then becomes that Abeyant Leap isn't an optimal exotic to use for solo GM. Either way, I wonder how that build would do with Whitherhoard and the fragments that optimize Transcendence like the Hunter build.
