This INSANE Solar Titan Build Destroys EVERYTHING! (Raids, GMs, More...)

[@MacticsG1]

Check out the written guide on mobalytics here: moba.lol/AshenWake

[@alexperera7919]

Can I run master stuff with this build ?

[@Bassnerd]

@@alexperera7919 Solar titan is actually banned from master content

[@vinny8589]

there is a problem with this build however.Overload Champions these guys just shrug off damage which honestly fluffing annoying. the problem I've noticed is that if your unfortunate enough to Miss either your grenade throw or Hammer you've essentially screwed up your rotation worse if you accidently chuck the hammer and it goes sailing off a cliff when it should've struck a target like with the case with wizards/witches which is annoyingly frustrating as then you have to get up close and pray that a red bar mob exists and that you won't run into something stronger and in endgame content EVERYTHING is Stronger.

[@zadusto6515]

One of my bigger criticisms (and allow me to preface by saying I'm a huge fan of your builds) is that you always skate over the weapons you are using, and how they work in tandem with your build. I assume that in most cases, they are interchangeable, but still, talking about suggestions for weapons that work with the build is a good idea, especially for newer players.

[@Harmi-XD]

Because there really isn't much synergy with weapons and builds for the most part, in content that is difficult enough to require proper builds (GMs etc) you want to change weapons on content

[@None-93]

Don’t mean to butt in but I seen the convo on weapons and can you guys give some suggestions for legendary weapons I can farm that will hold up well in harder content. Pls. I’m new in the sense that I missed basically all the seasons. I came back at the end of witch queen so I don’t have calus mini tool and all that. Thanks in advance.

[@kfauzi109]

@@None-93 same here, i’m in the same boat, cept i came back this season

[@KutluMizrak]

There are really only two meaningful synergies with builds: Headstone with Stasis builds that use crystal energy Incandescent for Solar builds that get energy back when they scorch something. Nothing else really does much with builds themselves. Jolt and voltshot work independently. Destablizing rounds and other non build volatile effects again work independently. Repulsor brace barely synergizes with titan void overshields.

[@Frogtea]

@@kfauzi109 wish ender is extremely good, le monarque is very good. those are two exotics that deal with barrier and overload respectively. as for legendary, get yourself a good roll on funnel web, as the volatile rounds are in your artifact and work well with every subclass. doom of chelchis is a very good void scout from kings fall. riptide is a primary stasis fusion rifle that can roll with chill clip. you're basically changing your weapons a lot based on content as the other guy said above, depending on your fire team and what they have and what you need to use to pop barriers or overloads etc.

[@joshm5290]

I've been using this build consistently since pre witch queen but it's nice to have a professionaly optimized build for it

[@oots4790]

I really appreciate these live reveals. they're super fun.

[@virulentone228]

This build is amazing. Thank you for putting this up. It's given me a new respect for Ashen Wake and Hammer of Sol. It does make me wish that the little explosions from Burning Maul left Sunspots, but HoS works for me. Great build, man. Keep up the good work.

[@GreenT84]

Every time you use your bonk hammer it leaves one behind.. with a build like this your super is the panic button, it's icing on the cake. You can light the world on fire without the super

[@virulentone228]

[@CamPowell]

Huge fan, thanks for highlighting one of my all time favorite exotic Titan gauntlets! I’ve been trying to turn people on to Ashen Wake since it came out and now I can show them why it’s so good

[@paffyoggy]

Alot of this gameplay is a normal lost sector and Ron where any build works. If you could show endgame content like master raids or higher tier night falls or legend or master lost sectors to show that this build really shines in pve.

[@JosipFilipovic85]

Yeah.. its great build but in lower tier content..

[@TirnanHealy]

I used it in legend lost sectors around 1810 and it's pretty good.

[@wstormborn3187]

I use it in legendary and some master, always switch to strand or void for GMs

[@TirnanHealy]

@@wstormborn3187 I thought loreley was the meta Titan build, although I haven’t used it. What’s the absolute best Titan PvE build in your opinion?

it definitely works in GMs, ive used it.

[@ryohahn]

Earned my sub with this. Took it for a test ride on the Retribution mission and it was unreal just how fast the nade keep filling up.

[@AaronCook83]

I'll sub when a build video contains none of the exaggerated keywords.

[@Tob1t]

HEADS UP when you have restoration active on (lets say) 12 seconds, and you reenter the sunspot, it will reset to 5 seconds, even though you had more time before.

5:24 that’s amazing honestly

Oh right I forgot titans have a fusion grenade exotic...

This is I actually prefer for my solar build. But, yes, firebolt is currently whacking this season. And I'm abusing that.

​@@BullVengeance imo builds that don't need seasonal mods are way better.

Oh poop, I don't have thosensettings on Xbox. Auto melee is either off or on and neither helps.

[@MissFeatherstone]

yeah actually did subscribe for that sunspot duration trivia. literally a game changer

[@elfarcherz]

Yeah I've been using this build for months, definitely recommend using cure because you can actually just insta burst enemies and heal yourself even in endgame content. Even better killing champs with the Nade heals you and gives you the Nade back

Great build video! Love the editing here especially the breakdown on each armor piece

[@IAmTetsuo1]

Been toying with Ashen Wake myself and looking at various builds, def appreciate your breakdown and how you go over different aspects of it. I would note that using some stasis weapon like cryostesia or something that freezes is also a good way to boost damage through Shattering.

[@minimupp0702]

As always a excellent build from an excellent builder

[@blitzgear02]

Since no weapons were mentioned, I'll go ahead and share my own insights. I've ran this build myself before. The primary is up to you completely and Scorch-causing weapons are your best friend. Sunshot, any Solar with Incandescent, etcetera will do... but I recommend Skyburner's Oath. Free firesprite generation is a lot more busted than you think it is, especially since it can proc Sol Invictus as well.

This was fun for the few days before they broke the grenade mods with the patch. No orb generation on grenade kill breaks the build.

[@MrDumas2]

I tried this build and it was so fun! But Hallowfire Heart worked better for me since it buffs all skills and I can equip firebolt gaining a second grenade from the artifact :D

The thing is literally anything can be used to very high success in GMs. Iv done runs on Behemoth and Stromcaller, 2 of the wildly considered weakest classes and they still perform well just not as optimal so just run whatever you find works for you honestly

[@jilleslmbrg7228]

Is this build good with Season of the Deep? See I'm doing Deep Dive and the third encounter with invoking the darkness always seems to end with me and my team not being able to pull it off. Thus I'm looking for a build that can dish out some damage to bosses. Exotic weapons I have at hand with my titan that I find dish out fine damage are Thorn, Witherhoard, and Heir Apparent.

My favorite build for a long time, further refined, great video. Would love to see if theres a way to make the concecration aspect as viable as the grenade spam, used to run it and Monte Carlo all the time.

[@jungillestt02]

It's a bit harder now with not having heavy handed like before but hollow heart is great when the super is charged and of course Hoil. But it mostly requires you to kill things with your melee to get it back with ember of searing. I've noticed weird interactions when running ember of char, eruption and ashes where I could get a chain reaction of ignitions going from one melee. But yeah with the increase in difficulty the melee's don't necessarily have the impact that they used to. Ashens only really good at roaring flames x3

its a fun build, as it's always been, but anything higher than legend-tier content it becomes a very hard sell over Synthoceps and Lorely.
