The Season of the Wish in Destiny 2 brought with it some major shakeups to the armor and ability hierarchy. Exotics have changed, fan favorite mods have been nerfed, and some abilities have been significantly re-tuned. With that in mind, we’ve put together an updated list of the most powerful Titan builds in Destiny 2.
About the Build Creators
To help find the best setups for your Guardian we seek out many of the best and most well-known Destiny build-crafters across YouTube, Reddit, and X (previously Twitter).
Best Void Titan Builds
Void Titans are the defense specialists of Destiny 2. They focus on abilities that keep Guardians alive, first and foremost. That doesn’t mean that they can’t dish out damage, however. Shields that block damage can just as easily be used to bludgeon enemies, and are great at delivering powerful, individual attacks.
Instant-kill Shoulder Charge Build
This build absolutely erases enemies when you Shoulder Charge. The idea is simple: drop your Rally Barricade and crouch behind it to gain an overshield, and take advantage of the added melee range and damage from the Offensive Bulwark aspect. Peregrine Greaves add even more damage on top of that if you do your charge while in the air, and instantly refund that ability when used on mini-bosses, Tormentors, and Champions. This lets you take out most enemies, including those aforementioned nuisances, in a single blow.
- Class: Titan
- Type: PVE
- Subclass: Void
- Excels At: One-shotting enemies, especially Champions.
- Mandatory Gear
- Peregrine Greaves
- Rally Barridade
- Bastion Aspect: Casting your Barricade grants Overshield to yourself and nearby allies and empowers it, enabling it to slowly regenerate the Overshield of allies bunkering behind it and extend their Overshield duration.
- Offensive Bulwark Aspect: While you have an Overshield or are inside Ward of Dawn, your grenade charges significantly faster, you have increased melee range and damage, and melee final blows extend the duration of your Overshield.

Best Solar Titan Builds
Titans that tap into Solar power are capable of devastating attacks. They tend to be aggressive, and push the action. They lack the raw defensive capabilities of the Void subclass, but in exchange they have abilities that can refill their health as they deal damage and eliminate their enemies that let them continue wreaking havoc on the front lines.
Path of Burning Steps Solar Healing Build
Duddits has put together this Solar Titan build for anyone who wants to deal a ton of damage, put out a lot of Scorch while healing and buffing yourself with Path of the Burning Steps.
- Class: Titan
- Type: PVE
- Subclass: Solar
- Excels At: Dealing damage with weapons and healing.
- Mandatory Gear
- The Path of Burning Steps Exotic: Solar final blows periodically grant you an escalating bonus to weapon damage, and Solar grenade final blows grant you the highest bonus. You are harder to slow or freeze with stasis, and when you break out, you take no damage from doing so, creating a burst of Solar energy around yourself.
- Healing Grenade
- A Solar Weapon like Vex Mythoclast, Hierarchy of Needs, Tommy's Matchbook, or Sunshot.

Regenerating Ignition Melee Build
The idea of this build is two-fold. First, it grants near constant health regeneration by dropping Firesprites after hammer kills . Next it combines stacking damage buffs with Ignitions to create exceptionally powerful attacks from Solar abilities. The result is a build that is as deadly as it is hard to kill.
- Class: Titan
- Type: PVE
- Subclass: Solar
- Excels At: Constant health regeneration with devastating hammer strikes.
- Mandatory Gear
- Hammer of Sol
- Hammer Strike
- Sol Invictus Aspect: Solar ability final blows, Hammer of Sol impacts, and defeating scorched targets creates Sunspots. Your abilities regenerate faster, and your Super drains more slowly while standing in a Sunspot. Sunspots apply scorch and deal damage to targets inside. Entering a Sunspot applies Restoration.
- Roaring Flames Aspect: Final blows with Solar abilities or ignitions increase the damage of your Solar abilities. Stacks 3 times.
- Ember of Mercy
- Ember of Searing
- Ember of Empyrean
