Lament and Stronghold Will Never Let You Die | Destiny 2

This is my first double special build and I'm happy that it works so well! This was a blast to make, but not so much to edit. It came out a little late due to a massive amount of audio issues, so I'm very sorry. I hope this build makes it to your hardest activities.

For the super, you have two options, Hammer of Sol and Burning Maul. Hammer of Sol serves as a solid fallback for DPS and ad clear, and great range. Burning Maul recharges faster, and is pretty good for focused ad clear and boss damage. For the class ability, I used Towering Barricade for more cover. The melee ability of choice is Throwing Hammer because it cures on pickup after hitting an enemy. Also, it makes up for our general lack of range with the build. The grenade I used was Thermite grenade. Thermites send out waves of fire periodically, and are amazing for holding down choke points without committing too much resources.
For my aspects, I went with Sol Invictus and Roaring Flames. Sol Invictus gives us the ability to create sunspots on ability kills, super kills, or scorched enemy kills. Sunspots apply Restoration, increases ability recharge rate, and decreases super drain. Roaring Flames grants a stacking damage buff to our Super and abilities, capping out at 3 stacks for a 73% damage increase.
For the fragments, I we will be rocking Ember of Empyrean, Solace, Resolve, and Torches. Ember of Empyrean extends the duration of Restoration and Radiant upon a solar kill. Solace extends the duration of Restoration and Radiant by 50% at base for more comfort on the field. Resolve cures us on grenade kills. Finally, Torches makes our powered melees grant us the Radiant buff on hit.
It’s time to move onto armor.
Starting with the helmet, I used Harmonic Siphon, Ashes to Assets, and Heavy Ammo Finder. Ashes can be changed to another ammo finder.
With Stronghold, I slotted Firepower, Impact Induction, and Bolstering Detonation.
On the chest was, Harmonic Reserves, Lucent Blades, and Melee Damage Resistance.
For the legs, I ran Solar Weapon Surge, Harmonic Scavenger, and Innervation. The scavenger can be swapped to another surge if need be.
Finally, on the mark was two copies of Bomber and Time Dilation.
You are a Titan, so don’t troll, Get to 100 Resilience or else you are not a true titan. Then you prioritize Discipline. I’m watching you…
As for weapons, I was running the Deliverance stasis fusion rifle, the Retraced Path trace rifle, and of course, the Lament exotic sword. Deliverance can be slotted out for Riptide, but the important thing is Chill Clip, since it can stun Overload and Unstoppable Champions. Either option is completely fine, it just makes us more versatile. The Retraced Path acts as our pseudo-primary when we’re not carrying our Lament around, and is our longest range tool. I crafted mine with Incandescent so that I can create Sunspots with it. The Lament is our DPS tool, Barrier Champ shredder, and damage resist tool. You should always be blocking with it when you see bullets flying.
This build focuses a lot on utilizing Lament, and it is important that you do not waste ammo, though that’s fairly hard to do. When going into a firefight, hold your guard to close the gap, then swing your sword to gain Restoration x2. Kill something with a solar ability, or better yet kill your first target, and now you’ll have it for 8 seconds. When you get the chance, throw your nade at ads, and throw your melee for Radiant. If there are champs, just switch to your fusion and shoot them. Should the enemy overwhelm you, hold up your guard, and back away to cover. Rinse and repeat. Do not charge in like an idiot, just use your head, and you’ll be fine.
Also, the combo that I like to use for the Lament is to Guard, into 2 Light attacks into Heavy, then drop guard into 2 light attacks. Afterwards, you can repeat the cycle.
You can bring this build into any content that you want. Considering how easy it is to block and walk, you can be a team anchor and res allies that are in the heat or combat. You can also just be a jerk to champions and end them when you want, up to you.

0:13 I'm sure that this "I need glasses" editing effect is great but it is giving me a headache due to my visual hypersensitivity, would love to see this video without it! :D

[@spynix0718]

Why Solar? I understand Ember of Empyrian, but why not Strand for more DR?

[@7BLANK]

At certain points, Strand’s DR becomes redundant. I understand that many want strand due to the Woven Mail, but I just prefer the ignitions of Solar subclasses. I hope this helps, and thank you for watching :)

[@standupmoko9618]

i always use double special you just get wayyy more heavy

[@7BLANK]

I use double special a lot as well. However some newer players have trouble with ammo economy, so I choose to recommend more player friendly builds. Thank you for watching and commenting :)

[@juanpablolozano6443]

I have a question if I use the stasis could be a good build or not ?

[@7BLANK]

Honestly, stasis is pretty good, and you can get away with it. Does that help? Also thanks for watching :)

[@absolutedynamite4979]

I thought emperyran and solace canceled each other out? Still digging the build.

[@7BLANK]

Empyrean extends the duration on kill, whereas Solace increases the duration cap. In other words, solace takes the cap from 10 seconds to about 13 seconds, whereas Empyrean allows for constant refreshes. Solace just gives us more flexibility in between kills. I hope this helps :)

[@absolutedynamite4979]

@@7BLANK OK cool. I was told once that they should not be used together but on paper it makes sense to infact use them both. Definitely gotta try it out. Appreciate the response.
