Traveler's Chosen for anti-barrier, ability spam, and matching elements for volatile rounds with osmosis
Oh damn I might have to pull that one out of the collections.
Good call
It would depend on champion mods, but I feel TC for the nearly free abilities, Repulsor/Destabilizing shotty (Mine is Retold Tale), and my Cluster Bomb Royal Entry would be a neat trio of weapons.
Rockets can deal with overloads for now, which is handy, so it's just unstoppable that makes a problem.
@@DeathsHood volatile rounds, unraveling and radiant grant anti barrier, so it doesn't rely on any mod
@@DeathsHood if you're running void, suppressor grenades I believe stun unstoppable champs. you could throw the mono weapons with Devils ruin, but I don't think it's worth it that much. this season, you're either running bastion (my favorite exotic), or whatever artifact mod.
Also, if you wish to make another change to this build, you can put on offensive bulwark, which will make any normal melee kill into a powered melee kill that will proc your exotic a lot more often, making even more explosion
Came here to say this !!
agree, I always use controlled demolition instead of bastion, way better for this build imo
literally about to type it saying to use age old bond
Yep! Nailed it.
*while you have an overshield.
I am a simple man, I see void Titan and I click
Same
It's not much but it's honest work
I saw the words invis next to titan and my monkey brain shattered
Same bruh 😂

This is one of my favorite titan builds and I’m my personal opinion VEX CALIBUR puts in the most work. The idea being that normal melees count as powered melees when you have an oversheild. Use the glaive to get full oversheild swap off and melee the world. Once you get comfortable you can swap out bastion for offensive bulwark.
Yep, I also use it this way
A fellow vexcalibur king
Meleeing with an overshield counts as a powered melee for Severance Enclosure (with Offensive Bbulwark, of course). Running Bastion, or even Vexcalibur or Edge of Action, are great ways of getting an overshield (the latter two especially if you're looking to not run Bastion and still want on demand overshield)
Maybe a Ros Arago IV with repulsor brace and onslaught. A heavy hitter shotgun/fusion in the kinetic slot could be decent.
Man I want to get my hands on a damn ros arago onslaught, but rng is a harsh mistress.
@@seabasswallyworldNah it will drop
I think Graviton Lance would be sick for this build! I'm running something similar and the Graviton exotic perk just adds to the explosive chaos of Severance. Tons of fun.
I've been running a build like for ages now, way before they buffed severance enclosure. I did Day 1 RoN and solo flawless'd dungeons with it.
I use the following:
Apects: Bastion and Controlled demo
Frags: Cessation, Starvation, Vigilance, Obscurity
Grenade: Vortex
Class Item: Towering Barricade
Melee: Shield Throw
Current weapons:
1) Witherhoard/Aurvandil
2) Funnelweb
3) Apex/Tiapan
Helmet: Harmonic Siphon, Heavy ammo finder, and scout.
Arms: Impact Induction, Momentum Transfer, and Firepower.
Chest: All resistance mods
Legs: Recuperation, Absolution, and Better already.
Class Item: Healthy Finisher, Proximity Ward, and Reaper.
If you have any questions let me know.
here's a doozie, a mechaneer's tricksleeves build that's actually quite good
Subclass: Solar (use whatever super you feel like)
Aspects: Whichever is good, I usually don't run gpg for the extra fragments slots
Fragments: Mercy, Torches, Tempering, Solace and Empyrean
Grenade: Healing nade, you need this in order to survive when you prock the active ability, though this is actually not needed
Mods:
Head- Harmonic siphon is the big one, I also recommend an ammo finder since you're going to be getting a LOT of kills with exotic primaries
Arms- Double harmonic reloaders and an impact induction for that juicy healing nade
Chest- I like running charged up for an extra bit of time with the surges, the rest is up to you
Legs- Double solar surge and recuperation
Cape- Time Dilation, the rest is once again, up to you
The exotic weapon is Devils Ruin, trust me this thing SHREDS when you can reload it this much, and with the buff active you actually dont need to reload at all, making it fire back to back lasers as long as you get a kill. With the amount of adclear and even burst damage you get out of this thing you generate firespites and ammo like crazy, as well as orbs of light which I think after ''reloading'' the cooldown of the syphon gets reset, so armor charges wont be an issue either.
This also works fantastically well with the artifact this season, getting radiant is absurdly easy. Honestly I'd say that running a special weapon is almost overkill (but I usually run a sniper in the other slot). For the heavy use whatever, the focus of the build is devils ruin, but highly recommend a solar rocket, overload and all that. I actually run GMs and the dungeon with this and it feels strong.
Some things I've noticed using this: If you have 2 pistols you dont actually need to swap, but the issue is, well, 2 pistols so you gent shanked at range (although the laser is good at range too), and if you dont get a kill with the buff it is faster to swap to your other weapon and then back to the devils, that will reload it from reserves.
Enjoy!
This build is actually what carried me thru the lightfall campaign when it came out I theory crafted this on my own way back then. Cool to see it in a video
I agree with you mactics. Monte Carlo for the melee up time. Plus you can use the bayonet for added coolness
This is my favorite series on CZcams. I use a variety of the builds and love it
I liked this build a lot more with Vortex Grenades back before they nerfed the mod that gives finishers armor charge and then consume armor charge to give grenade energy back. But it’s still really fun with the interactions between Severance and Volatile
Would be a fun Gambit build for sure! As a Gambit fan, I watch a lot of these build videos from that perspective hah
Now i don't use void titan too often, but I think age old bond would work since it can roll with both repulsor brace and destabilizing rounds for overshield and explosions
Severance enclosure is being slept on. I've been running a severance enclosure strand titan build with a one-two punch/pugilist swordbreaker. Near constant melee uptime and survivability from banner of war. One-two punch makes short work of most yellow bars and procs severance enclosure explosions
it's also highly amusing to run the fragment that gives you threadlings on finisher kills...I've spawned six when finishing a yellow bar in a crowd
imo buried bloodline might actually slap with this build
Traveler's chosen with catalyst for osmosis, and then you can put a harmonic syphon, and you can get ability energy from it's exotic perk. Also anti-barrier from seasonal artifact but it has almost the same range as rat king so that's it's downside though.
Also my favorite with this is actually Leviathan’s Breath for chunky targets while still leaning into volatile explosions
I do wonder how this might pair with some glaives, like Vexcaliber to get overshield as well to possibly help survivability.
Hey, you might have something special with this pairing.
Severence Enclosure triggers on "powered melee" kills, and for void having an overshield changes melee to powered.
Would require weapon swapping to use, but there are times when punching a red bar will be more effective than spraying to hit a finisher.
New pacific epitaph from gotd. It gets a free reload from finishers thanks to its origin trait, plus can get some nasty combos like demo/pugilist. Being a wave frame, its perfect for weakening multiple targets at once to be finished off by the severance enclosure. Plus it frees you up to run a void weapon still.
Monte Carlo is always a good option for melee builds! Love to see the series growing!
The whole reason why Severance is completely slept on is, yes, it is an add clear demon, BUT if also has the drawback of literally knocking away your targets which sucks absolute balls, especially in higher end content where distance is literal points of HP lost per second of downtime. Even in low end content, forcing your higher priority targets out of range makes it so they have ample time to retaliate. It's definitely a fun build, but extremely unviable. To be fair to the buildcrafter, you also were using like tier 4 strength which increases the downtime of your melee significantly. I'm pretty sure Monte Carlo's melee gain trait is a flat energy per hit rather than percentage based outside of its lucky refresh proc. Running higher discipline on a devour based build is dumb, not only because you are supposed to be killing a massive amount of enemies with the explosion during devour to get your grenade back anyway, BUT also because devour is a percentage based buff, meaning, regardless of what your grenade cooldown duration is, devour will scale because it gives 15% of your grenade ALWAYS per kill. This means, running higher discipline is truly only effective during down time where adds are not present like in a boss arena where it's just the boss or when moving from location to location, which this build does not capitalize on since it needs add dense situations to thrive.
I have a build that I think will build. I call it The Ahamkara’s revenge. This build will make it feel like Ahamkara’s just got a juicy buff 😎.
Solar Hunter
-firebolt gernade
-knife trick melee
-Gamblers dodge
Aspects: Knock ‘em down and on your mark
Fragments: Embers of singing, eruption, wonder, Empyrean, and torches
Super-Blade barrage
Exotic: FOETRACER,
Weapons strand weapon(Mabel trace), sunshot
Artifact mods: kindling trigger, flint striker, unraveling orbs, heart of the flame, revitalizing blast, rays of persision, solo operative, and wished into being
Mods:
Helmet: ashes to assets x2 and dynamo
Arms: impact induction and bolstering destination x2
Chest: resistances and reserves 😊
Legs: stacks on stacks and intervention x2
Cloak: reaper and bomber x2
R.I.P Ahakaram’s 🙏
I agree with Monte Carlo, but collective obligation might work well too, since you’re making a lot of enemies volatile and suppressing them.
I'd run with shoulder charge and replace bastion with offensive bulwark for powered punches while overshielded. Then maybe a repulsor brace special, something like hollow denial, basso ostenia, or the waveframe that I can't remember
One of my favorites for weapons is actually conditional finality against chunkier enemies for its burst damage
Solar Hunter Build: Lucky Cowboy
Exotics: Lucky Pants, Crimson
Super: Golden Gun (Marksman)
Aspects: Knock 'Em Down, On Your Mark
Fragments: Torches, Char, Empyrean, Ember, Singeing
Healing Grenade, Knife Trick/Proximity Knife, Gamblers Dodge
Head: 2x Hands On + Heavy Ammo Finder
Arms: 2x Impact Induction, Impact Induction
Chest: Harmonic Reserves, Resistance Mods
Legs: 2x Kinetic Surge, Innervation
Cloak: Bomber, Reaper
Note: Kinetic Surges stack with your Golden Gun super, as does Lucky Pants and Radiance. Crimson is useful because it allows you to get to the 10 stacks of bonus damage very quickly, so you can fire 3 times with Crimson, cast your super, and hit an enemy for some absolutely nuclear damage. Spire of the Watcher Cloak necessary for cool points.
Probably not as noteworthy, but snap melee, heat rises and Felwinters Helm. An amazing combo that can literally keep an entire room debuffed while you just have fun.
I use it with Icarus dash for movement and healing nade for emergencies. I also play Searing for firesprites, Mercy for restoration on firesprites (sometimes comes in clutch) and then Solace and Empyrian. Also I play phoenix dive with dynamo for insanely fast supers and on my arms I got focusing strike and melee kickstart, on the legs elemental charge (for all the firesprites) and powerful attraction plus double outreach on the class item.
Now for a little explanation: You have 4 different ways of healing. 1 the grenade, 2 the dive, 3 the firesprites and 4 when you consume your grenade and do a dive you get resto x2. In case you worry about getting your melee back, kills with an incandescent give it back aswell as your dive, and while you are airborn any kill gives you around 1/5 of your melee back (varies on enemy type). This encludes bunny hopping, it will still count as airborn. So just throw your melee while bunny hopping and you see great success. Also works with guns. Just jump once you are about to kill.
One thing of note: Firesprites currently reset your timer when you collect them, so they take you from restoration at 12 seconds to 3 on the timer. just be mindful of that as there are going to be alot in a tight room, but if you ever need a quick heal and don't want to (or can't) use any ability, you can collect them for restoration.
Weapons don't quite matter, I do recommend an incandescend weapon though, as it helps getting your melee faster.
One last trick I have is that you can focus your melee on targets that will survive it, since the ignition can still trigger the Exotics perk, as long as another ad get caught in the explosion. So basically in ad dense rooms, you can just focus the majors while you debuff the big guys.
This build works wonders solo or in teams, as you can shut down an entire room and help buddies with damage while still being able to speedrun with wellskating and don't always have to go tractor.
Have fun testing if you want to and see the enemy suffer by your hands
Actually last note: Most of this build can be changed to suit the situation. When you are desperate on solar nades, you can change either heat rises or icarus (whatever is less useful to you) for touch of flame and change your nade, or just change your nade without the aspects. This build is really flexible as there is no real requirement what to run as far as weapons go, as the melee will be your main focus and the weapons are there to finish whatever survived the explosions while they are debuffed. A solar weapon really helps keeping the restoration though.
This build is my favourite since plunder, it will always be a staple in my loadouts
Shield Bash + Severence Enclosure reminds me of my old Earthshaker Striker Titan build with Skullfort from back in the days of the diamond skill trees. Shoulder charge, aoe destroy the crowd, insta-heal...lather, rinse, repeat. Good times!
Ok i have a build⚠️. Its a perfected strand hunter for endgame. Very survivability heavy. I wanna keep it short tho so im not gonna read out obvious things like super.
But u will want:
Gamblers dodge
Grapple
Widows silk
Threaded specter
Generation
Continuity (sever)
Isolation
Ascent
Cyrtarachnes facade
Helmet mods r mostly up to u except siphon mods. Other than that heavy ammo, super energy, whatever really.
Arms is very important tho.
Heavy handed, impact induction, focusing strike.
Chest piece is mostly up to u but a good resist mod and i like charged up but yeah mostly up to scenario.
Legs have both innervation and better already. Just like the chest piece, i like stacks on stacks but its not NECESSARY but i do like it alot and for this it makes things easier.
Class is important.
UTILITY KICKSTART (most important mod on the build) powerful attraction and bomber.
Good exotic weapons r monte carlo for more sever and quicksilver feels good too, cant go wrong with wish ender, yeah its mostly up to u. Good heavy weapons r retrofit and apex.
Ok legit the most important part by far. Gameplay loop.
Start grappling in, getting woven mail from facade, grapple melee to proc impact induction, unravel, and if u used ur class ability, it procs focusing strike. Then dodge to put the decoy down, collect orbs with powerful attraction for ur next utility kickstart, and use bomber for ur nade back, then grapple back out or re-proc woven mail, which u can do by grappling the floor, taking only half of the charge, and reloading the equipped weapon, including the heavy weapon as we know. And then using a melee or hitting headshots on a tanky target severs, giving u access to woven mail, sever, and decoys. Its overkill until u feel immortal in high end content. Mastery comes from woven mail uptime and mostly decoy positioning. Sometimes u gotta proc woven mail to survive to get the decoy in the right place. But if u play it perfectly, u never die. Create orbs, grapple in, grapple melee, dodge, grapple out or re-proc woven, sever stuff, Repeat. Ability uptime, survivability, mobility, and fun after mastery, all through the roof. Enjoy.
The chain reaction was the recent buff it got I'm pretty sure where Severance explosions can make more Severance explosions
Proximity ward is such an underrated mod, it’s so helpful giving you a powerful over shield whilst performing a finisher it’s saved me so many times
same lmao. super useful for solo players in endgame activities
As someone who has submitted and pioneered this build for a while now hoping you'd see it on discord, THANK GOD FOR SOMEONE ELSE PIONEERING IT AS WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
Any time a void build is present, I lean to repulsor brace and/or destabilizing rounds. That could free up the overkill overshield mods on the build (although the more, the merrier) Positive Outlook, Ros Arago IV w Onslaught.. oh Age Old Bond his both RB and DR (also target lock) slept on because it's a 360
You mentioned the two healing mods might be overkill. No, this is overkill on regen:
- Banner of war with into the fray
- Standard fragments for grenade regen, woven mail on orb, etc
- precious scars
- strand primary and strand machine gun, slice preferred for even more resist and safety
- buried bloodline
Gameplay loop is to open with a melee for banner of war, then a few kills with buried bloodline for devour, then use the machine gun or primary for restoration and devour reprocs. Make sure to make a bunch of orbs and tangles to keep woven mail up too.
Oh and don’t forget to double up on those leg mods for extra health!
I think maybe the buried bloodline with the catalyst would work really well because you'd get devour and weaken enemy's while devour is active so more damage OR collective obligation and you can tune your fragments to blast everything away with a nuke and they can't fight back because suppressed weakened from a juiced suppressor grenade and the volatile from controlled demo will give you collective at full power. for the one two finisher issue just use stacks on stacks to always have a bunch of armor charges. :D
^buried bloodline lets you free up a fragment slot so you don't need starvation you can use cessation, obscurity, provision for melee energy from grenade kills, and persistence. this lets bloodline function at full power granting devour AND weaken increasing your grenade uptime which grant more melee energy and adding stacks on stacks for armor charges basically gives you a base line of 3 always which increases melee uptime. Use retrofit escapade with turnabout if you want an overshield or if you wanna be even ballsier use crownsplitter as a invis rotation for alot of damage and a demo primary or pugilist if you want melee energy instead.
Wish I had Buried Bloodline! It sounds like a good perk. @@benblaylock4036
>Using finishers once every 10 seconds.
>Feels like not getting enough use out of Finisher based mods?
>Swaps to Ability based mods.
>Uses ability once every 1 minute and 10 seconds. Huh. Okay.
Would rather keep the Finisher mods (Proximity Ward/One Two Finisher), and switch to Stacks on Stacks (Lose Better Already/Recuperation), and charged up to get more use out of them.
I use a similar build, but instead of focusing on melees I focus on grenades. Use Echo of Cessation, Instability, Undermining, and Starvation. Instead of Bastion I use Offensive Bulwark and Shield Charge to help with grenade with over shield uptime, with devour on you also can rely on that to help generate grenade energy, use the finishers for volatile explosions to keep sustain and for Explosive Finisher for even more grenade energy. I also run with a Demo + Frenzy Unforgiven to even push the grenade recharge more. You get good sustain because your volatile explosion heal you and allies. I am missed a piece of the puzzle though. I want to run a Demo + Osmosis Auto in the Kinetic slog to take advantage of wave frame GLs but I haven't gotten the one I have been hunting, The Last Breath. For my heavy I would just run Levi's Breath because with weaken and volatile it just makes it hit harder.
This was basically my build for lightfall campaign before SE got buffed. Havent used it in a minute since void burns / artefact mods haven't surfaced in a bit. You could potentially run a double special build with sword breaker from crota and buried bloodline. Use the sidearm to proc devour, that frees up your fragments to use the one that reloads your weapon on suppression. Use shield bash to reload your weapon(s), clean up anything left with swordbreaker.
Thank you for the series.
Monte Carlo for melee energy and swap One-Two Finisher for Healthy Finisher because it only takes one charge and then in your boots you can put Recuperation for health pickups, Innervation for grenade, Orbs of Restoration to top up whatever ability is low (can use Stacks on Stacks instead if you don't feel you need it).
Since you are using Monte Carlo most of the time to generate melee energy, energy slot can be for damage or utility: One-Two Punch shotgun, Disorienting Grenades GL, or Scout/Bow/Sniper for range. Vouchsafe (scout) with Repulsor Brace and Destabilising Rounds or Lethophobia (craftable bow) with Disruption Break might be fun.
The damage could get underwhelming, but sending your enemies flying never gets old.
This is a classic, but I love how they've refined it so well. I found an Optative with Swashbuckler and Grave Robber, and it's been my go-to for primary damage while other weapons cycle in and out of slots based on shields and champs.
I feel like Graviton Lance would be good because the build is centered around explosions. So just get one red bar kill, then the purple balls weaken the other red bars or yellow bars, and then use a finisher for even more explosions. Monte Carlo is also a good choice though.
The main issue with this is the explosive purple balls from the Graviton can kill you. I've gone in for a finisher and get killed by them with the enemy. But holding back it's still a monster.
This build in particular really makes me wish we could pair exotic armors. Severence would go so well with Second Chance here. And yes, Monte, or Pugilist, or as some have suggested: Traveler's Choses (or even a Wellspring weapon) would be a good option for feeding abilities.
I feel like in pve the flamewall grenade is just so much better than suppressor. Enemies will just walk into it, and bosses will just stand in it for massive damage. It lasts long enough to proc devour multiple times.
Interesting. I like the suppressor for safe finishers, but I guess GL can do that too.
@Kenz305 for me, anything that is harder to aim or can self damage in pve is not a good choice. Wall grenade is a throw and forget useful tool. The devour procs grant you 2 or 3 times getting you more than half you grenade back already after you throw it and repeated heals.
I’ve never really tried the void wall nade, I’ll have to try it but I don’t have high hopes
@DillonMagreveous it's way better than people think. Plus the synergy between devour and long lasting grenades is huge. Single explosion nades only proc 1x, vortex and flamewall proc multiple. It's huge on champions and mini bosses too, watch dmg testing videos. With weaken it's like 300k per nade
@@Axhole11so do you try to directly hit the enemy with the void wall or throw it under them?
So another apotheosis veil build is with solar, and I use this build as a hotswap from a sunbracers build.
Mods
Helmet: Harmonic Siphon, Ashes to Assets
Arms: Font of focus, impact induction, harmonic loader
Chest: reserves/resistances
Legs: Recuperation, double solar surges
Class: bomber, distribution, powerful attraction
Weapons, a solar primary, to make orbs, and Dragons Breath is the main damage part.
Subclass: Well of Radiance, Heat Rises, Touch of Flame. Fragments: Mercy, Eruption, Ashes, Empyrean.
Abilities: Fusion grenade, celestial fire, and healing rift
Feel free to change whatever
I put together a strand build with Severance Enclosure back when Lightfall first dropped so I can tell where the change came in: before it wouldn't actually proc the explosion on powered melee kills, only finishers. It now actually works on powered melee kills.
I have a build idea I wanna share and my build is on the shinobu's vow. I was going for a spam skip grenade build. So the first thing you want obviously is the skip grenade and the aspects that I chose is flow state and lethal current to get amplified. The fragments I chose were spark of shock and spark of ions for jolting enemies when throwing the grenade and getting ions for ability regen, the two empty fragment spaces is your choice but I chose spark of beacons and amplitude. Now the mods, for the helmet I chose ashes to assets, special ammo finder, and harmonic siphon. Arms I chose fire power, grenade kickstart,and impact induction. Chest is your choice for resistance, legs stacks on stacks,elemental charge,and innervation, and finally class item reaper, powerful attraction, and time dilation. I am using arc special weapons for the spark of beacons fragment that I chose so if you use the same fragments I highly recommend using arc special weapons. So that's my will it build and hope you try it out.
As an og Severance user, im glad for its time in the sun.
Severance Enclosure with a solar titan and smol hammers is insane this season. Especially since all melees are considered powered if you have roaring flames. Every melee hit kills everything around you - or around the enemy you hit with a smol hammer. Just saying. It's absolutely one of the best Titan exotics in the game now. Almost no build required, but grenade regem mods and such, solar weapon surge - solar titan doesn't really need melee recharge mods, but certainly the mods that benefit from melee kills need to be in there. Combo with something like a primary with incandescent, Witherhoard, a good rocket launcher. All the solar benefits, like restoration and all the solar mods in the artifact. A juggernaut.
Also, if you didn't know, the chair finisher from guardian games increases the radius of the severance enclosure explosion
Severance runs amazing on either throwing hammer solar titan or strand titan due to the sheer amount of melee damage you can consistently put out. It doesn’t work as well when you’re waiting constantly for the recharge
So this is pretty close to what I'd call my favorite build in the game. Severance Enclosure on Void Titan has been my crack since Lightfall dropped the new fragments for void. Having spent a large amount of time running this loadout, here are some weapon suggestions:
Weapons with guard functionality are a good utility with this build (glaives, swords, and transmutation spheres, more on that later). Guarding will at times not break invisibility so it gives you both an option to safely approach a weak target and adds some extra protection from stray aoes and such while invisible.
Void Titan is good with Vexcal and Edge of Action, both of which let you have guard functionality while playing close to your subclass. Vexcal's spread shot is also very good for weakening targets to finisher hp with a moderate amount of precision.
Heartshadow is ok but I feel the ammo into invisibility is a sunk cost on a build that has pretty good invis uptime already.
The other thing this build succeeds with is any weapon that you can reliably bring an enemy into finisher range with. Too much damage and you'll have to be very deliberate with starting your finisher chains. Weapons with explosive payloads do pretty well here as you have a lot of control over how much damage you're dealing. Autos, smgs and traces can succeed here too although you must be more careful not to kill things. In this way, Monte Carlo and Ruinous Effigy will fit very well with this build if you can master tapping the trigger with them.
Monte of course lets you have much more power melee uptime, for more range on explosions via shield throw.
Ruinous Effigy's life drain aura on guard can be used to weaken enemies without breaking invis, allowing you to chain finishers easily and providing you with a swiss army knife of methods to tackle an encounter with.
I think Controlled Demolition is made redundant by Cessation, so you could swap Controlled Demolition for Offensive Bulwark and drop persistence for reprisal for faster supers.
Traveler’s chosen would be my go-to.
The problem with this exotic is the explosion makes EVERYTHING fly. Mods and motes would fly away from you so it makes it hard to keep doing finishers or picking up motes.
Not an exotic but truthteller with blinding and autoloading holster / disruption would fit the build fairly well especially if you'd like to keep the rat king. Shoot one shot super quick to blind enemies and allow you to close the gap for the finisher much safer and if you're too far for that you can use the disruption break to secure a rat king kill much easier and go invis to get those finisher / melee kills.
I'm really thinking go more in on explosions. Go Graviton Lance... booms everywhere.
For higher end content playing this style i would play double special with a blinding lingering dread to get in close safely when suppression nade is down, then a crafted repulsor brace ikelos for good sustained damage per shot plus overshield stacking. Lastly for the heavy i would play with two taled fox for the nice damage plus its ability to stun overloads at range for this season. All in all you have all 3 champs covered with volatile/hand cannon/and rockets at least for this season. Playstyle would be blind/suppress pack, go in with melee and chain finishers adding nades and rockets pre engage depending on pack hp/difficulty. Love the vids always fun to see more diverse playstyles popping up!
Forgot to add a special finisher since you're already spamming the finisher and will have plenty of armor charges and now more heavy from double special
Woops last thing guys xD if you do end up wanting to run double special id switch to bastion for unstopp and a blinding energy gl.😅
And personally, I love running this, build with vex caliber. When the enemies get tougher glaive, melees leave them weak enough to be finished constantly.
I have learned so much from WIB; it's one of the very best content creations I've seen. Thanks to you Mactics for making it possible, but huge thanks to the community for sharing your builds/knowledge/experience!
In my personal version of this build, I love running graviton lance for even more explosions and ad clear when your abilities are down
Try it with Strand and grapple grenades. Survivability is a little harder, but way more fun. Use the fragment that spawns threadlings on finishers and it seems to spawn a threadling for everyone I kill with Severence. Sometimes I can spawn a whole swarm that would rival a warlock.
for melee builds its hard NOT to go with Monte’ Carlo… if for whatever reason you dont have it…graviton lance just to add to the Ka-Bloomies going on with this build with a pardon our dust to keep disorient (ambitious, demolitionist roll) in kinetic. keeping retrofit.
wonder how this would do with Peregrine Greaves instead with Expulsion back? Probably try when i get the chance😁
I would say monte carlo, void wave frame with either destabilizing rounds/auto loading/envious assassin/disorienting grenades for ad clear/stunning for melee or repositioning, and good ol' retrofit escapade!
**EDIT**
Just entered my comment at the start of the emblem watcher and didn't see your next recommendation... 😅
Expulsion is actually pretty good with Controlled Demolition you spread more little booms to help the big booms!
I mean best weapon for this has got to be vexcalibur. You got the sheild to get in safely. Got some ranged shots to proc the surviving volatile enemies and the melee from a glaive should(?) proc severence so you have more ways to get the explosions of. And then you get a oversheild everytime you get a kill with vex.. gotta be hella good. And then also you can use slideshot blinding ignition code in kenetic slot. And for heavy i would go with a bequest with surrounded since you would prob pop a bubble on a tanky target or boss. Love the build, will perfect and play this so much!
If you are sticking with suppressor nades, I think Collective Obligation is just such a powerful option. The alternate firing mode when active can just suppress most enemies and you can melee/finish until your heart's content!
severance enclosure removes the need for echo of cessation. it could be swapped out for leeching for more res + recuperation for the team
The invisibility on this brings some great utility.
How I began using this exotic…. (Since Solar is Broken.) Tie this all up with the Artifact mod of course. Then use throwing hammer so u have constant powered melee up time. Then use roaring flames and Sol invictus.
With roaring flames stacking up, u can eventually 1-hit yellow bars quite easily with the Hammer. Getting a kill will proc a sunspot so u get restoration right away. That will also burn any targets around so they will also become finishable or dead.
Ember of Torches is a must, and Ember of Empyrean is a must. The next 2 u can do whatever u want. I would use benevolence and Resolve, because I like having a thermite grenade for more damage and sunspots.
That’s what I would use if going straight ability-centric build-wise.
BUT WE LIKE BIG BOOOOMS.
So exotic of choice if we really wanna dig into that artifact would be:
1.) Sunshot
2.) Dragons Breath
3.) Ticuus
4.) Skyburners (Eh)
Then we would switch the last 2 fragments for Char and Eruption.
Boom city baby.
Armor mods, Super off melee kills, Finisher overshield one, and maybe a solar syphon and surge.
Bit less on the survivability in higher tier so maybe getting some recuperation orbs in there too.
But man… set the world ablaze.
I love Severance Enclosure :)
Monte Carlo (Melee Generation), Null Composure (Close Combat for Finishers/Void Burst) and Doomed Petitioner (Good damage, longer range, just like the gun :)). Void focused, but, great for energy siphon orbs, melees and with Offensive Bulwark/Devour, super fast grenade return. I find Controlled Demolition is not super necessary to still have good explosions for Severance Enclosure.
I have a very similar build to this one and I had called it the Walking Nuke.. But Weapons, obvious choice is Monte Carlo.. But may I suggest PLANCK'S STRIDE with Grave Robber and Pugilist. It's a craft weapon and I've been meaning to slap that combo together for such a build.
Buried Bloodline could be nice to keep up Devour and keep you at full health since you are up close and personal. Was going to say Monte Carlo but you beat me to that! Otherwise, Heartshadow could be nice for always keeping invis up and this build deserves a sidearm/sword or SG
I feel like a some good weapon choices could be graviton lance because it's a pretty hard hitting void pulse (also a little bias since it's my favorite exotic) also the VOW exotic could be a good idea and then a non exotic choice could be the DSC LMG (forgot its name) because you could get abilities more often
Mac, your vault is looking like you need an appt. with Dr Datto😜
For weapons to pair with this build, I'm thinking Conditional Finality for chunk damage and CC on large targets with the stasis and even more explosions with the solar ignition. Energy slot would probably be anything with Repulsor Brace, but Word of Crota stands out due to the origin trait leading to, you guessed it, more explosions if you get a melee kill. For heavy, it obviously depends what activities you're running, but Cold Confort would synergize well since the goal of the build is to get finishers.
This build was really strong back in season 20 when we had void mods on the artifact. We also had an infinite melee/grenade build because of the way class item mods worked but they patched it. You used to be able to pair 1-2 finisher or explosive finisher with 2 empowered finishers and stacks on stacks Every finisher gave you back your full grenade or melee. I wish that wasn't patched.
I should have submitted mine. This build worked even before this buff in low and mid tier content. Struggles in end game since it relies heavily on being able to chain finishers to stay invis the whole time.
But its MEGA fun. I made as a hunter main who wanted to play titan like a hunter.
I could see travelers chosen working pretty nicely with the build
I think Monte Carlo and a shotgun will be good. You can shoot a single shot and get enemies finishable
Swordbreaker for one-two punch and its origin perk would also be a good pick for this build. For exotics, Collective Obligation is good for any void build
When you have a void overshield, Offensive Bullwark will give your normal melee empowered status so every normal melee will proc Severance. Vexcalibur can give you a void overshield on demand when you hold the shield up and it hold up even when you change weapons.
im feeling a spicy edge of action to let you get in closer for a finisher with the glaive shield , as well as an emergency jello dome when it gets hairy
UNSTABLE FINISHER!!!
How did he not hit that!?
Kinetic = blinding grenade, Ager’s Scepter
Energy = destabilizing rounds
Heavy = sword
Also rally barricade
Keep the bubble and use the scepter to convert it to dps options with the catalyst!
Definitely makes the difference we are all looking for.
Monte is definitely the play here for melee uptime, and one two finisher does require at least 3 armor charges to proc so that's not very reliable either, so maybe swap that out with another outreach
Rat king all the way lol
I run a similar build on Void Warlock but with Felwinters Helm, so finishers will put Volatile and Weaken on the whole room for easy add clear!
In my not so humble opinion, I would run a Monte Carlo with a void weapon with destabilizing rounds, or be a complete menace and run a chill clip fusion rifle with Graviton Lance as your exotic energy weapon to continually spread void explosions. Hope this helps if you're looking for any tweaks to your build.
I did this build like 5-6 months ago. It’s a lot of fun but I felt it didn’t do enough explosion damage in higher tier content.
Also, Heartshadow would allow you to consistently go invisible to get in closer to enemies.
The weapons: Gravaton Lance for more explosions, Le Monarch for the poison, or a weapon with destabilizing rounds to make others volatile.
i use this build but shoulder charge with a one two punch shot gun or swash shotgun and only go for finishers on champs or yellow bars. i believe the explosions are bigger on tougher enemies. plus shoulder charge for movement is nice in tough content
I actually tried a similar build as I love void titan, but you really need the overshield while finishing, in harder content is just sometimes bullshits you.
Also there is a weird interaction (or a lack of) with Echo of Expulsion and Controlled Demolition where it sometiems wont proc with the exotic perk. It's 3 ways of exploding and sometimes it just wont do shit
I use to use this build... and a loadout that worked out for me was Monte Carlo and Harsh Language and a heavy was Commemoration
I think swapping a fragment to undermining and using vortex nades would be better since vortexes suck enemies together and the weaken will help your severance explosions do more damage
My main idea (this is for an add clear or support approach) is quicksilver for more explosions or carlo for melees, undercurrent adept with adept big ones on voltshot demo for more grenades and more explosion chains and then to top it off chivalric fire with destabilising and repulsor. Due to it being a caster you also get ranged explosions, and coupling this with a wellspring disruption break harsh language instead of the undercurrent would cause even more void explosions, perfect for harmonic siphon and most importantly void breaches for reduced cooldowns. I lean more towards undercurrent personally based on adept modding and voltshot, however harsh language would have better synergy. Alternatively to chivalric you can run a void lmg such as commemoration, corrective measure, shattered cipher if you like 900s or retrofit escapade if you would like a dps option.
Another few ideas i thought would be fun are monte carlo & null comp like you suggested, Travellers chosen and a disruption break lethophobia (the idea behind this is it buffs travellers chosen damage for faster kills and is also a void weapon itself for volatile), Harsh language and chivalric fire, Ecliptic Distaff and Commemoration or Chivalric fire for more void explosions, Fighting lion in combination with a slide shot blinding ignition code, this could also pair with any of the void glaives including the recently buffed edge of action to create safety shields for teammates or in solo content, dead messenger with demo after the new crafting buffs, maybe even ruinous effigy for the orb slam to create more explosions (yet to test that).
The point is there is absolutely so much you can do with this build it's scary as the guns don't need to synergise around the build, they just add to it. Maybe when we get nova mortis back. Also buried bloodline for devour or leviathans breath. Tbh I would love to see you try out all of these on stream, but if you only have time for one the first idea at the top please
Edit: Just got a
Resilience +10
Recovery +18
Discipline +26
65 base Severance with 2 mobility and 2 int from gm. Absolutely amazing haha
😁
I think you could use the traveler’s chosen to get ability energy back and because it’s a sidearm you can use it to prime targets for a finisher and keep the kinetic siphon on
Gl with disorienting was the go to move. I'd also try a glaive to see if there's synergy there. . Vex caliber is where I'd start
I would probably use Le monorque with this. Or funnel web maybe. Or graviton lance.
I feel graviton Lance would be a good fit, this build wants to clear the room and have some stragglers. I have had those two things happen almost every time I use the lance nowadays
I never thought I'd enjoy playing as a ninja titan 😂
