it’s insane that most exotics don’t have the power equivalent of an Aspect, when an exotic like Syntho and HoiL is worth a whole class identity, or Stronghold turning a low utility weapon feature like Sword blocking into immunity

[@TitanSkateD2]

Synthoceps is quite literally the only thing making Titan as an entire class even remotely viable and that is just depressing. There used to be a few more options like HOIL, Wormgod Caress, or Peregrine when it worked with 1-2 punch and freeze melee damage boost but now they’ve been made useless or very underwhelming by nerfs. I really hope that rather than nerfing Synthoceps and making Titan obsolete in all PvE activities, they severely buff the 30+ Exotics that are nearly useless in all scenarios and make the class have more diversity in its builds and play styles.

Neutered post elemental wells. Void? mid asf. Bonk and banner of war are the only things making titans viable in endgame and I fear that they will soon get absolutely destroyed by a huge synthoceps nerf in final shape where nothing else on the class will get buffed making titans effectively useless. Worst of all their solution is to "rework" exotics by adding a shitty surge damage boost onto them which literally does not help at all and is boring as fuck.

[@sQuaTsiFieD]

[@cubes6763]

I think what makes Titan builds so boring right now, is that the only S tier exotics are subclass neutral, which makes all builds fit into one of three categories: melee everything, spam abilities, or be immortal with sword block. It's honestly rather depressing how anytime Titans get a strong exotic that is subclass-specific, it inevitably gets hit hard with nerfs. It's honestly really annoying to me that the only exotic my Titan (main class) has used this season are Synthoceps, with the occasional swap to Lion Rampants or Pyrogale Gauntlets. There are plenty of other exotics I'd love to use, but the problem is I hate actively hurting myself by using them.

I totally get that this is "Ultra Endgame armor for Actually Skilled(tm) Players", but seeing Lorley at F tier still throws me for a loop. But I mean, I can't argue, you're not wrong. Any Titan worth their salt will just keep restoration loops going with their bonk hammer, Lorley is only a free safety net for the lesser skilled.

[@TheAegisRelic]

It's only not even a safety net it's literally an AFK exotic at this point haha

[@Detroit_Gamer_]

i used it to do my solo Spire, i would pop barricade manually before a boss fight to get resto and throw a hammer for radiant, having an on demand sunsp[ot for resto at your feet and not where an enemy is, is useful IMO, i would say low C teir defiently not F teir below kepris@@TheAegisRelicedit: also used it during day 1 crota, when i was using the sword due to the fact i didnt have accessto my abilities (outside of grenade), and anytime i got low it would proc and give resto so i wouldnt die with sword

[@Ysl489]

Think it actually has a place in the game, not saying it is good or anything, but I would personally put it in high C-Tier. The definition of a situational exotic. The exotic provides way more than anything in D- & F-Tier. There are several raid encounters, where u need to stay on a plate and just can’t push up to the enemies. And I think that’s the situation where Loreley shines. I actually busted out my Loreley for day one crotas on the bridge encounter, to solo kill the swordbearer on the other side + to it helped aswell staying alive on the plate. Synthos were completely useless in that encounter, since there were only red bars you’d kill with your hammer regardless and u killed the champs from a far anyway/if u let them get too close they could one hit u, regardless of restoration, so just having the restoration on demand/passive ability Regen, was quite nice Another situation where I used Loreley in lightfall was in my solo flawless GOTD run on the final boss, I was doing dps with surrounded briars and swapped to Loreley for dps, which helped staying alive being in close proximity to these acolytes. These are some very very situational examples, but I think these kind of scenarios justify the exotic being atleast in low to mid C-Tier. I definitly use Loreley more often than anything else in the C- to F-Tier, excluding dunes.

[@TwinGamer64]

Been telling everyone I think Loreley is a cruch exotic for the longest time. Sure when it gave you res x2 it was busted, but res x1 is just not worth it, and especially not on solar that already shts out sunspots to an extreme degree. but everyone I talk to calls me crazy when I say its a shitty exotic and tells me its an A tier maybe even S tier exotic.

[@Ysl489]

@@TwinGamer64 100% not an A- or S-Tier exotic, but also not an F-Tier one, completely obsolete if u are able to utilize the full solar subclasses potential, but in rare occasions Loreley is very helpful.

I’m glad you put Cadmus in C tier. Most people wrote it off as complete stinky poopoo garbage as soon as it came out, but it really *can* work if you’re willing to play at the speed of an amoeba on downers. Its only MOSTLY stinky poopoo garbage.

For anyone curious at how Loreley used to be: Loreley's was released pre-Solar 3.0, when Sunspots still gave you a damage buff (it was 20% and nerfed to 15% percent at one point if my memory serves), on top of that it would add a standard healing effect as Solar keywords weren't a thing yet. On top of an on demand sunspot with a barricade cast, it also guaranteed a Sunspot spawn when hitting critical, no class ability charge required.

[@sylokthedefiled7650]

How dare you not put kephris horn as number 1 in the list! It's so useful in... Um... Patrol?

[@LittleCrowYT]

It's hilarious in pvp on strand with drengr's lash

[@benvipond3420]

This whole tier list aside, I’m very happy to hear you mention how undervalued Phoenix Cradle can be. It truly is just an interesting exotic that fills a niche for us support titans and even though it’s not the best in the business it’s certainly not the worst. Awesome video!

[@TwinGamer64]

Honestly the only change bungie needs to make, to make phoenix cradle an S-tier exotic, is by giving us a new class ability where we spawn a sunspot, that way we can reliably spawn a sunspot that heals teammates in a DPS window, and give them that juicy ability regen, and super extender. and by doing that they could finally rework Lorely for the 7th time.

[@mewclelegend9945]

Also, sol invictus makes your super drain more slowly, which works with chaos reach and geo mags for example

[@Erelyn1]

I think if the sunspots were colored differently for teammates so they know you have it on, would be a great change. People are trained to ignore sunspots because they see them on their screen but have "never" done anything for them so why would they randomly run to them now

[@mewclelegend9945]

@@Erelyn1 I agree for sure

[@TwinGamer64]

@@Erelyn1 there is that, also the sunspots doesn't last for very long if noone is standing in it, so most of the time the other players can't even get to the sunspot before it disappears, so maybe make it so the phoenix cradle also extends the lifetime of a sunspot.

[@FettuccineAllaGay]

another big advantage to Lancecap is that it creates Crystals meaning more chaining of the Grenade energy fragment, and the barricade portion allows for Diamond Lance creation without the aspect (but you usually want that extra fragment slot anyway on stasis)

[@FettuccineAllaGay]

but yeah, struggles with being Stasis

[@nathanflinchum1153]

i always felt like lancecap was under appreciated tbh

[@FettuccineAllaGay]

it's definitely a high value exotic, only held back by being hyper-defensive in an aggressive meta. I defs enjoy using it in pve like GMs when chilling with friends, but wouldn't chuck it on if running with lfg or in hyper end-game situations

[@nathanflinchum1153]

@@FettuccineAllaGay just had a cool idea: "diamond lances always generate next to you and spawn crystals wherever they land. rapid precision hits and stasis weapon kills generate a diamond lance while behind a rally barricade or near a stasis crystal." Or replace the "next to a stasis crystal" with "slamming the diamond lance creates crystals around you consuming melee energy"

[@tuck3771]

They should make Wormgod refresh the timer on melee hits, but still require melee kills to increase the stacks. That way you could build up to higher damage than synthos before damage and maintain it. Side note I miss running Wormgod + Python + middle tree hammers in Season 9 😭

Other than my comments on Loreley, hearing you gush over Stronghold is really validating LOL. I didn't pay attention to that exotic at all until last season, but it does SO much. I'm also a little more interested in trying Ashen Wake, though I've been kinda PVP-brained trying to figure out how to actually use it (it's a full refresh on Guardian kill, but only 130 damage, so basically a cleanup tool unless you manage to stack x3 Roaring Flames). Looking at it through a PVE lens, yeah, I can see how it'd come up, especially as an additional means to operate double special in conjunction with throwing hammer.

[@Marklovesmovies]

I have been a stronghold main since beyond light. I love that it's finally not just a niche option. It's always hilarious when I'm in a GM using a sword and other randoms are you know surprised what the heck are you doing and then when someone gets down and I just walk up guarding and just revive them getting blasted from every side like it's most normal thing in the world and they're like what the hell are you doing.

[@proboscismonkey764]

i do agree that loreley is really not needed on solar when you can make sunspots aplenty via sol invictus, but the thing i never see anybody talk about is how loreley enables you to use all 3 aspects on solar; sunspot via loreley, and just equip consecration + roaring flames. you can put on empyrean to extend restoration from your loreley sunspot, and it frees up your grenade slot if you wanted to use something other than healing nade (i would still recommend healing nade though) this isn't game changing or anything, but it's really nice to know since consecration has really high damage if you need to just nuke something.

[@MrTrombonejr]

[@RobertPerez862]

My biggest issue with POBS is the fact that it doesn't work with Time Dilation. If it had that it would be an A tier for me. The reason why is on Solar Titan you can easily proc Radiant which is a 25% buff that stacks either POBS 25%. If you slap on Target Lock or any other damage increase on a gun your already adding more firepower to the gun. I think it's underrated imo.

[@thehale_]

19:00 Banner shield is really good in GMs. Things like the plate in glassway or the shield generator in proving grounds come to mind when thinking about good uses for it. Any room filled to the brim with enemies like the beginning of Disgraced are worth mentioning too, which is essentially 50% of what GM’s are. The super also generates tons of orbs and can be used to guarantee multiple revives if you’re the last guardian standing, since you’re literally invincible from the front. Makes for easy clutches if things go wrong. All of this plus the damage buff to allies makes it a good super in boss encounters for obvious reasons. Not as much of a brain-dead crutch as Well of Radiance, but still very good. Especially if most of your friends aren’t Warlock mains. The one thing that sometimes makes it better than Well is because it’s mobile, which brings me to the point I made earlier about free revives in case things go wrong. Don’t sleep on the shield 😤

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

Honestly, Mask of the Quiet One is an exotic that makes Touch of Malice more viable in stuff where the extra damage matters. You’d probably have to pair it with devour and that fragment that gives you an overshield when killing things while low health to not feel on edge all the time, but paired with the ToM buffs, there’s build potential there. Giving you an extra boost to all your abilities from taking damage by enemies is a nice bonus as well. The exotic isn’t D-tier imo, but being that niche, it deserves a kind of rework. It doesn’t feel very exotic when you can get the same effects without it.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Feedback Fence with stasis is insane you can get infinite armor charges for no effort

[@Ysl489]

But u need to be on stasis, the worst titan subclass by a lot. Aswell as there are so many other ways to get armor charge easily, think a high C-Tier placement is fair. Also the exotic is basically never ever used in endgame.

[@freddyflo7364]

question for eternal warrior is, if you can switch to t-crash after your fist of havoc ended but you keep the surge. that would actually be dope. and it would be even better if you can get the surge to last long enough for you to swap to cuirass and back.

[@HighCharityYT]

Doom Fangs should up sentinel's shield damage bonus to like 60-70% so it's a competitive choice against Well.

[@Technizor]

DFP is the offensive counterpart to the defensive Ursa Furiosa. If anything, Ursa should buff the damage buff, while DFP gives you +50% or better damage on the super attacks itself to put it up to par with Synthos boosted Sentinel Shield. They both return you super energy but in different playstyles, so there's nothing to change there given the restrictions they placed on super refund exotics a while ago.

[@dylanr.cerezo4325]

I will say strongholds have served me well in GM environments w lament and a team of friends in coordinating with. Took some getting used to after the change to them was a somewhat nerf: that timed block heal to full was insane. Though now that the restoration is fixed and banner of war exists they're in a much easier to use spot while still being very powerful.

Armamentarium is a go to exotic. Especially with stasis titan. Doubles up the crystal grenade so more smash more regen more damage more smash paired with the reworked header stasis grenade launcher exotic, it just chokes the field with crystals.

[@achryllic2607]

this might be the cutest video yet

[@partisanship2904]

I agree with your take on Icefall mantle though I think the free x4 surge bonus on popping the overshield is convenient for dps or just clearing content in general since every kill extends the x4 surge duration. With ager's scepter and whisper of refraction, it has a pretty low cooldown thanks for the wide freeze but that requires giving up an exotic and fragment slot. It's not great with mobile guns like smg or sidearms.

[@life-destiny1196]

I miss contest mode/master mode Golgoroth attempts where I literally had to swap off Loreley to wipe because the boss couldn't kill me. That had to go LMAO Currently Loreley would fit way better in a sandbox closer to, like, a Beyond Light GM where you're trying to go slow and steady and make as few mistakes as possible, where if you get tagged by a scorn crossbow for like 190 damage or something, you're basically useless until you recover every single point of that health--and you're less likely to be able to run up to your sunspots and get restoration that way. I think that's really the key--Loreley drops the sunspot at your feet, so in a situation where enemies are so threatening that you will likely get killed trying to even get to your first sunspot, it gives you a way to proc restoration not reliant on doing that. In the current sandbox, there are basically zero of those situations, so I'd be coping hard if I were wearing it over HOIL or whatever, but describing the effect as a "net negative" doesn't really sit well with me, especially given your comments on other exotics that PVE barricade is often not that useful.

[@sickleeee]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Loreley is by no means the best exotic for titans, but to say it's worse than using no exotic at all is going a bit too far. It could sit pretty comfortably in C-tier imo.

Loving it more than Synthoceps (don't get me wrong Synthos is better still for Endgame).

[@TheAegisRelic]

Yeah it's definitely a unique build with Flechette

[@pitmaster226]

Thoughts on, perhaps, the Eternal Warrior swap for 4x arc surge, into No Backup Plans with Acrius? You can do 3x kinetic surge and have the surge and shotgun bonuses for all of your weapons in a swap rotation solo

[@TheAegisRelic]

I'm not sure if it persists after you swap, I know Raiju's doesn't, also idk how you're getting OS afterwards

[@thomazfb]

Great tier list! Thanks for this work. I only have one disagreement regarding the Actium War Rig. That chest enables a never-reloading build with the Thunderlord + catalyst, in my raid runs I’m always doing 4-5kk damage in bosses like Nezarec, Ir Yut and Taniks using this combo. It’s extremely useful on that matter and puts me in the top DPS of the group every time. (Combined with eventual Thundercrash and a divinity in the team, of course) I believe it should be a B given how strong LMGs are right now. Sometimes I use it for solo dungeon runs with the Heir Apparent too, makes you feel like an unbeatable terminator destroying everything on its path 😂

[@TheAegisRelic]

If you've seen the other videos on this channel, then it'll make more sense that Thunderlord DPS doesn't factor into Actium viability

[@thomazfb]

@@TheAegisRelic Oh, interesting! Thanks for the clarification, I'll check them out 😄

[@musicaltarrasque]

Enclosure with the invis/volatile finisher build operates quite well in high lvl content, as you can get one minor low, finish, which gets all the other minors to finishable hp, then after finishing one any knight/wizard lvl enemy is finishable, and the whole time you are invis, on titan

[@TheAegisRelic]

I've actually seen that build in play and while it is cool it's a lot less productive than just killing the enemies normally (and also forces you to replace your gameplay loop, not augment it)

[@jspijk1595]

You plan on also making tierlists for Primary weapons? (or mainly like the only notable primary weapons etc)

[@TheAegisRelic]

Yeah something like that

[@animereverie4380]

The war rig with target lock, vorpal machine guns.

[@brigpoppa5298]

I’m just waiting to see where my rarely removed lion ramparts go…

[@scalarmotion]

Do you have any example of a run that used Saint 14 bubbles to create an add zoo? That sounds absolutely hilarious and I want to see it in action lmao

[@TheAegisRelic]

Old KF record, some of the old LW records

[@Ysl489]

I don’t use Loreley often and I think it’s not that great of an exotic (only time I used it in this expansion was for day one Crotas on bridge, I was the first one to cross and killed the guy solo and for my solo flawless gotd as a swappable for dps to stay alive) but in situations where it forces u to stay in place and a res has a ton of value (where u would play a little bit more defensively)Loreley is still a decent overall exotic. Also getting a sunspot for just casting your barricade gives u a bunch of ability energy if u just stand in it for the whole duration. Don’t think it’s F, more like C-Tier, definitly better than anything in D- or F-Tier. Like if u had the choice between Loreley and Khepris Horn or Mask of the quiet one. I’d choose Loreley all day long, I’d probably even choose it over a lot of C-Tier exotics honestly.

[@TheAegisRelic]

Might move it up a tier next version

[@xbizzay]

synthos still the best after the nerf or is wormgod now better?

[@sunlitstream2647]

Would it be possible to pop burning maul with pyrogales then swap to Phoenix cradle on bosses like Crota to help your team?

[@TheAegisRelic]

I don't know if it retroactively applies to sunspots

[@sunlitstream2647]

@@TheAegisRelic it may be something to test/look into

[@sharkbaitjr_9923]

Next year, doonfangs might be kinda busted with that new super

[@feircy]

Even if 90% of my exotics are trash I'll still main crayons lol. I do miss one shotting things with peregrine greaves though. And idk about in endgame but severance + echo of expulsion + cessation + controlled demolition is fun in legend content.

[@muffinman255]

Late comment but pyrogale is extremely potent with dragons breath for season of the wish. Works very well for grounded and slower bosses, especially with the seasonal artifacts

[@Satosuke]

I dunno, Loreley saved my ass on the final encounter of solo GOTD, and Second chance + Monte Carlo was keeping me alive through a large chunk of my groups Day 1 Crota completions. This information is definitely useful and you do an excellent job overall on your content, but I think the explanations give the impression that the lower tiers are useless. Maybe that's just my perspective, but I think there's definitely a lot more wiggle room for the lower tier exotics, especially for someone like me who likes to buildcraft and do high-level content, but isn't going to min-max every little thing to squeeze more DPS out for low-man and speedrun situations.

[@spartacus6256]

Personally, Lorely is where is belongs, ever since all the nerfs it got, it’s not worth using. If you’re on point you never even get it to proc which isn’t hard at all as Solar Titan isn’t hard to play.

[@will_ofFye]

Bruh I just did a build with eternal warrior and trinity ghoul that shit is actually crazy. Literally god mode add clear that 30 sec refreshable buff with ANY arc kill is perfect synergy with trinity’s perc

[@max-pn8tt]

Stongholds are so fun

[@spartan53096]

Strongholds with Worldline Zero is so much fun!

[@ianhuston8946]

God I love titan, 1 hour video just to hear slap on synthoceps and profit

[@StayPuft80]

How do you get 20 sec of restoration with Stonghold? I've only seen 12 sec

[@TheAegisRelic]

It's based on Perfect Guard stacks, not sure if you need Solace

[@StayPuft80]

@TheAegisRelic yeah I have Ember of Solace and with max stacks I've only seen max of 12 sec. Been using the hell out of it this past week in legend haunted sectors with Lament

[@scl0074]

I bet doomfangs are gonna be much better when Twilight Arsenal gets added in Final Shape

[@bold_eagle7729]

Where would u put Loreley if it still had x2 restoration?

[@TheAegisRelic]

Much higher, probably high B ish

[@ReapThySorrow]

I would like to ask if you ever get the chance, or if you could link a video for a good titan build bonk titan or void works

[@TheAegisRelic]

My day 1 titan video sorta has that

[@ReapThySorrow]

@@TheAegisRelic alright gotcha

[@senormacaco2834]

I just want more options for Titans. I love the class but it feels like Im always using the same 3 exotics. Imagine a world where Icefall mantle is useful and titans could turn into an unstoppable wall that takes almost no damage for a few seconds. Instead we get an overshield that breaks if you get sneezed on

[@zephh_sk]

I've been using the Skullfort for about 3 seasons now and I thought you were going to be way more brutual on it. Idk I like my titan build with it especially with Juggernaut on + Seismic strike. As long as I can smash into some ads I'm basically immortal.

[@kunalpol9256]

with the new season, would any of the exotics' rankings change?

[@TheAegisRelic]

Yeah definitely, I'll update this later this season

[@nathanjones8667]

I wish they would bring back Immolation Fists and let them just go crazy.

[@slimjong-un5743]

Are all of those really A tier exotics compared to what you put as A in other classes? or is this just relatvie to Titan?

[@TheAegisRelic]

Nah independently relative

[@TheMrMayo]

Honestly, as a warlock main, the DoomFang will be better in Final Shape with that new Twilight Axe super. At least then for offensive players in Endgame, they'll have something that helps the team and causes high burst damage on throwing the super. Still, its weird seeing things you'd think be viable in endgame be ranked differently, but that's the life of endgame players who know where the benefits/negatives lie. Cheers as always!

[@jacobpinson2834]

In legend level content Cadmus lancecap is very fun. Stasis crystals everywhere and spamming my lances

[@KingThor128]

As a casual player who doesn't pay for much content, I love Doomfang because I just enjoy the Super itself, the funnest roaming one on Titan I think. But if I even touch even a Nightfall, I go right to Syntho Solar.

[@Thatfpsguy]

I came here to see where armamentarium went ..... I'm happy with this

[@johnofwar0160]

52:00 Synthoceps: How is this good for raiding and end game? I have a 90 resilience build and am dead within 3 seconds if I step out into the open in a raid or even a strike. The idea of punching anything pretty much got out of my head as soon as the campaign ended.

[@TheAegisRelic]

Banner of War + Woven or Resto
