Note about the super: Use the heavy attack to first because it suspends the target, does a large chuck of dmg, and buffs the light attack. When you do light attacks it will charge the heavy attack. Once the heavy attack is charged repeat the cycle until you run out. This is the best way to use this super.
no it’s not, the light attacks get faster and faster the more you do. the HIGHEST damage possible is spamming light attacks whilst a teammate preferably another titan keeps the boss suspended. your welcome it’s like 30-40% more than using the combo ❤️
Depends on the target. if you can get the melee attack speed ramped up it's always better to go that route but if you miss then be ready to use the heavy attack.
To be fair, you do have to commit to 1-2 punch and tractor cannon - you can't just hang back with range and or play or mix up your style. You have to brandish your sweating balls outside the titan mark, play aggressive as F, run directly into danger constantly etc. Definitely effectively and totally insane, no denying. Thanks for sharing.
I run Thread of Warding over Thread of Transmutation since I find Tangles easy to create already without much effort. The Thanatotic Tangles on the seasonal artifact also makes Thread of Transmutation a little redundant. I know the artifact perk specifies it must be a strand weapon, but even ignoring that, any target affected by a Strand debuff such as Unraveling from Thread of Propagation or Sever from the powered melee have me constantly making Tangles already. Given the abundance of Tangle sources, having another source of Woven Mail feels more valuable to me
not only that, if you keep grappling onto a tangle you make you can just infinitely clean up with one grenade melee for a LOOONG time and continue the loop by making another tangle
I did this the last 2 contest raids lmao. And it’s my go to in GMs and other master content. Banner of War just made this even stronger but it was always ridiculous.
Banner of War makes Flechette Storm with Synthoceps absolutely bonkers, as well, if you want the ranged melee option. Your melee uptime isn't as high unless you're using Monte Carlo, but the damage output is really good.
I run the fragment that gives you woven mail on orb pickup, it makes the build a lot more spammy and less risk if you end up using melees, not to mention infinite woven mail is always nice
Just so people know, shotties rn other than precision shotties, are bugged and have decreased damage when ads-ing. In case anyone was wondering why their shotties do less in pvp or in pve atm, Bungie is aware of this.
Yup, I’m literally powering thru the lightfall campaign to get strand on my titan. Might be a titan main this season. Nice refresher since Warlock and Hunter is all I play.
You missed the entire point of that rant while simultaneously proving his point, it’s actually hilariously Ironic. He just proved ONE subclass can almost do the job of all 3 subclass you named with very little effort.
@smittywerbenjagermanjensen5152 not even close. This build is honestly pretty mid. This build is not even close to being the best build of all time and its not even the best build of this season.
Both fragments have its benefits sometimes you can carry the tangle to the next room but it’s also easy to get and orb to drop with how much damage your abilities do
Yeah, ever since suspend was nerfed, it's allowed the other abilities some room to breathe and flourish. Really enjoying using grapple to be more aggressive
I 100% stan into the fray and banner. Giving your team woven mail just from tossing or breaking a tangle is great and the melee regen is huge. At this point I won't run lash unless I plan to use the boots. Flechette storm is hype but i find into the fray much better for harder content. Now flechette storm with the lie card this season is something else entirely lol
I'd be ok with a Snytho nerf if they buffed Titan melee builds dmg without it. It almost feels like you can't have a good dmg melee build without syntho's. If Bungie made more exotics that buffed dmg and effects of different melee's then people wouldn't be bottle necked into just syntho's.
@@Eztra326 Maybe it could be an exotic perk? Idk I mean we are the melee class so being able to throw those around and have constant overshield along with the new block aspect in Final Shape would allow Void to go toe to toe with Strand/Solar
Question: Any specific reason for using ikelos over without remorse? I assume it is the same reason to use riptide over other stasis fusions. The faster fire rate leans towards an overall faster dps and the rapid-fire frame just allows us to hold more ammo. Second any preference for swordbreaker's left column perk? Personal preferences aside, would pugilist be the call for getting our melees back, or demo for our grapple? I also assumed that for the most part our shotgun isn't killing adds as we use the ammo for our 1-2 punch procs. Since it is strand though, it can benefit from getting us our tangles first and foremost as well as apply unraveling.
Get yourself a Thin Precipice sword from season of deep. Chain reaction causes huge strand explosions and just feels great to use against long ad clear sections
@@wethepeople8280it’s actually such a goated sword combo. On my hero of ages with that roll I’ve got over 5k kills on it. Not a great damage dealer but in any “low” level content it was my sword of choice before thin precipice which I had built with chain/unrelenting but with the threading buff I’ve really been liking hatching/unrelenting for even more strand synergy (I’m warlock main btw so building into threadlings works a bit better)
@@xdifficultviper9916 nice. I’m a titan main. You can pair woven mail, banner of war healing, unrelenting chain reaction healing and precious scars for some of the best team support healing and woven mail DR in the game. Though it’s hard to pass on synthoceps with how strong they are
@@wethepeople8280 I play all three just main warlock, Titan has been an absolute blast this season and precious scars is definitely interesting but I’ve found myself using mostly synthos or stronghold with banner. The healing and dr from stronghold is actually crazy when you don’t need that extra synthos damage
@@Criiies the total damage from using heavy attacks is greater than that of only using light attacks. So yes, i am sure. If you're having trouble hitting your heavy attack then thats a user issue
I’m using this with a kinetic slot shotty, lament for if my melees somehow aren’t enough, and abyss defiant for ad clear to match solar surge with pugilist and swash. Melee anything with a bit of health, get max damage buffs and explosions on the auto for the red bars, which gives my melees back, repeat
When Bungie eventually nerfs Banner of War, I just hope they don't put it in the ground. It's a neat concept that should probably be expanded to the other Titan subclasses in some capacity (Exotic maybe). Nerf the health you get per tick and it's fine, I just don't want them to make it worthless or a pain in the fucking ass to maintain by saying, "Once you get to x4, you can't refresh the time until it runs out."
Also when this inevitably gets nerfed, this same build but with Heart of Inmost Light is pretty nuts too, it's not synthoceps levels of busted but it's a good alternative
Try Monte Carlo with this build 1/2 punch shotgun and strand sword w unrelenting and chain reaction . Monte caty is nutty with this setup . One melee procs banner and max stacks for Monte
Enjoy it while it lasts Titan Brothers, this will get nerfed either soon, or they might let us play with it for a whole season. But it WILL get nerfed.
Is this build for normal difficulty. I tried spire on legend got my qsz clapped solo. Solo-ing might be the problem but the thing it mini-boss hits two twice takes 2/3 of your health.
Hey Ehroar. I've worked on an original Hunter Strand Build that allows for a lot of fun gameplay using 2 Grapple nades and 2 Specter dodges (Sixth Coyote).

yup, from what I remember you can do 1heavy into 3 lights until the suspend debuff is gone so you repeat that until super is spent.
@@mrthor3061not the best SOLO way to do damage,that’s the point OC was trying to make
IF your solo then yes, but if the target can’t be suspended, it’s not really worth it since the nerf because suspended wears off so quick.
Depends on the target. if you can get the melee attack speed ramped up it's always better to go that route but if you miss then be ready to use the heavy attack.
Let’s all be grateful for a Synthoceps ornament with decent shoulders 🙌
As if im ever taking off the siva ornament
legit the type of ornament i always wanted, and for syntho ? even better. I'm never taking it off
Praise be to slim Titan fashion
Finally right

Literally never shows the builds in endgame content and showcases them in patrol where you 1 shot everything 😂

Why you here then?
@@dontbeshady411 Because "potatos". :D
Both fragments have its benefits sometimes you can carry the tangle to the next room but it’s also easy to get and orb to drop with how much damage your abilities do
Old hammer was the best build in the game by a mile
Ahh, the times when a single hammer could do around 240 million was it?
it was definitely the most boring as well
Glad to see grapple being used effectively more and more across the community. I have barely taken it off since Strand was released
Yeah, ever since suspend was nerfed, it's allowed the other abilities some room to breathe and flourish. Really enjoying using grapple to be more aggressive
Meanwhile threadling grenade is probably the worst grenade in the game
@@jacob-2271wait I thought there wasn't a third grenade....
@jekkin8972 there isn't a third.
Titan’s finally get to do the thing the developers were forcing us into……Punching everything. And it’s fucking glorious
Out of all the build videos you’ve incorporated the seasonal artifact that helps synergize with the build so thank you 🙏

I just wish shield throw worked like strand Hunter melee where it travels between targets and can catch it to gain energy back. The targeting is shite
@@carswan21 The dmg and tracking is just ass. Catching it would be cool but it might be too similar to the Rope Dart
@@Eztra326 Maybe it could be an exotic perk? Idk I mean we are the melee class so being able to throw those around and have constant overshield along with the new block aspect in Final Shape would allow Void to go toe to toe with Strand/Solar

I use enhanced pugilist and OTP. It’s just free huge energy gains for any add kills in the mix
Grave robber combo, you do no want to reload the shogun constantly. (and as you mentioned, more ammo)
Shaders and ornaments are also in his DIM link in the description btw. Also You dont need to be inside the bubbles to break the crystals fyi
shader on shotgun is 'crucible horizon'
Honorable mention has to go to monte carlo with caty, the loss of tractor sucks, but the big stab is fun
I've tried this build all day today and I have to agree with Ehroar here, this is the absolute strongest we have ever been. Absolutely incredible.
Old hammer did 242 million DPS

@@faller70 yes because everything else thats good gets nerfed. Name one other good titan exotic besides synthos and hoil.

This game is so fucking depressing that when a good and fun build like this comes along you have to live in fear that it’ll get nerfed any day.
Deadass
does monochromatic in the seasonal artifact work with strand? i thought i heard it doesn't.
Also when this inevitably gets nerfed, this same build but with Heart of Inmost Light is pretty nuts too, it's not synthoceps levels of busted but it's a good alternative
Was trying both today, you just trade damage for cooldowns.
Both are fun and have similar loops.
I tried the build with no exotics, it does amazing as well lmao
You CAN suspend ALL bosses with the heavy attack, they may not be suspended in the air, but you’ll still get the damage buff from the super
Little note about frenzied blade, it can hit multiple targets, my maximum is 3 per attack from the 3 we have in total
What shader is that you have on?
10:10 just for existing (near 3 or more enemies)
Hey Ehroar, love the vid! Could you tell me how you crafted your Ikelos Shotgun? Thanks!
Nevermind I’m blind, he showed it
Bro I really wanna try this build. Do the artifact mods matter? Ours are totally setup different
Thanks for showing this build to titans. Now they can make my liars handshake one punch build even stronger for me. Good support class 😂
Love the video! Quick question for you. What is the full roll on that immortal with threat detector/demo? Thanks!
Swap into the fray with flechette storm for just awesome souped up scrap flinging
Any recommendations for concole users because getting the shotgun off right before the melee mid air like that to proc grapple melee is pretty hard.
Any idea in why I don't gain any armour charge when picking up orbs? Using the same mods as the DIM link.
It's bug in the game, take off one mod and you'll gain armor charge, but not lose it
I’ve used a similar build like 20 under and it holds up great 😎
How do u basic/normal melee. When I do, it always uses a powered melee?
oh wow hammer titan replacement
Bungie: oh no it got nerfed
How do you load into this alone
Hey this is basically the build i have been running since the moment the new aspect came out! Except i run a trench barrel shotgun!
Has this been nerfed? Im running lost sectors with this exact build and am not getting anywhere close to the same damage output
have you tried this build with the monte carlo?
How do you get a slim looking titan like his? Most them usually look like big bulky tanks
Female titans actually have properly sized armor. Male titans have like a 500% increase to armor size for no reason at all.
If you have 100 melee and get woven mail you regenerate a melee charge back in 10 seconds
Try Monte Carlo with this build 1/2 punch shotgun and strand sword w unrelenting and chain reaction . Monte caty is nutty with this setup . One melee procs banner and max stacks for Monte

OG Lorely Bonk Titan is the GOAT
Been using this for nightfall and end level. This is definition god mode
With this I hit millions of damage with worm God.
Literally been using this exact setup, weapons and sythnos, but on fire bonk hammer. Gotta try out on strand next time
how can you compare verities to strand titan?
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a build video before where the guy showcasing it sounded bitter the build was good :)

Certified Titan moment
jo ehroar my boy , have u ever tried mobalytics to post ur builds ?

Anyone hear OG bonk build - updated version?
You never disappoint, but this one is a real beauty! Thanks ma G, build's BIG GOOD
I’ll bet this is the final nail in the coffin that makes bungie make charged melees no longer work with 1-2 punch
ok but whats the chest piece on your titan and where do i get it?
New seasonal chest piece. Just play seasonal activities or use witch’s engrams
Great job 👏🏻
Appreciated
How would these numbers look with Wormgod Caress? I know it is a harder set up; I would not use it. I’m just curious
about 70ish percent more damage unreliably
If you are only titan the super combi is 1 heavy 4 light 1 heavy 4 light
As a Warlock main. Im coping
I made a build very similar but for strand hunter using the bey blade. Not as strong as this titan build but still strong for a hunter build
Whirling maelstrom is shit. L take
