Destiny 2 Void Titan PvE Build

Welcome to the Destiny 2 Void Titan PvE Build! Sometimes its nice to play support. And this build is just for that. Is it the biggest damage dealing build? No, but your teammates will thank you for keeping them alive and giving them some buffs.

Last Updated March 2, 2023, for Lightfall Expansion and Season 20, Season of Defiance. Destiny 2 has gone through a major change with their modding system. Making mods much easier and simpler to understand but taking some of the old metas and either eliminating them or making them relevantly the same. For instance, the “well” mods most players have been accustomed to have been completely eliminated and really the only system and combination are based of orbs of power. The mod loadout you see today will change over time as we become accustomed to new and shifting meta in Destiny 2 Lightfall. This loadout has been tested and works, so check back frequently as we will be updating these builds throughout the season and expansion.

Pros	Cons
A Great support build	Is not a damage machine like Heart of Inmost Light builds
Solid damage
Less dependent on mods than other builds
Can be used in almost all content
Grants damage and defense buffs for allies
Is very easy to transition to from the beginner build
Versatile

Void Titan Playstyle

We are trying to make our allies stronger and our enemies weaker. Our loop is all about that. Throwing our barricade down to give our allies overshields. Hitting enemies with our grenades to basically give them every debuff void offers. Throwing our super up to make our allies have a safe space to melt big enemies and large groups of enemies from.

Important Artifact Mods:

Overload Bow or Overload Auto/SMG: Strand lacks intrinsic way to counter Overload Champions so this will be needed for certain content.
Authorized Mods: Void: We will need to use at least one energy weapon so this will allow us to buff them as well.

Abilities

Some abilities, aspects and fragments need to be unlocked before use. In order to do that, Destiny 2 players need to visit Ikora in the Tower and do the related quest or purchase them from her. Lastly, if you bought new aspects and fragments don’t forget to “meditate”. Simply click the “meditate” option on the table next to Ikora.

Void Buffs & Debuffs

Lightfall Expansion saw a revamp of core buffs and debuff for each class.

Void Breach (New!)
- Void Breaches are created by a selection of new and existing Void Fragments, and grant class ability energy on pickup.
Echo of Cessation (New!)
- Finisher final blows create a burst of Void damage that causes nearby enemies to become Volatile. Defeating Volatile targets creates a Void Breach.
Echo of Vigilance (New!)
- Defeating a target when your shields are depleted grants you a temporary Void Overshield.
Echo of Domineering
- Now creates a Void Breach when defeating Suppressed targets, in addition to its original effects.
Echo of Harvest
- Now creates a Void Breach when defeating Weakened targets with precision damage, in addition to its original effects.
Echo of Starvation
- Now grants Devour on picking up a Void Breach, in addition to its original effects.

Ward of Dawn
Rally Barricade	Catapult Lift	Vortex Grenade	Shield Throw

Ward of Dawn

Rally Barricade

Catapult Lift

Vortex Grenade

Shield Throw

Ward of Dawn (Super Ability): Create an indestructible dome to protect you and your allies. Passing through Ward of Dawn grants you and your allies a temporary increase to weapon damage. A huge bubble with a god tier damage buff for yourself in the group!

Rally Barricade (Class Ability): Create a small barrier that you can peek over while aiming down sights and that increases weapon reload speed, stability, and range when you stand behind it. Throw this down at the rally point for your damage phases. It will help your team reload faster and offers a modicum of protection. With this build it also grants you and close teammates and overshield that will regenerate over time. A great defensive tool.

Catapult Lift (Movement Ability): Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air with a strong initial burst of momentum. This really comes down to personal preference, so feel free to flex another lift if you prefer it.

Vortex Grenade (Grenade): A grenade that creates a Vortex that pulls targets inward and continually damages those trapped inside. Big massive AoE damage which is always nice!

Shield Throw (Melee): Hurl your Void Shield toward a target. The shield can ricochet off targets and surfaces, granting Overshield for each target hit. A decent ranged melee that helps make our enemies volatile at a distance.

Aspects

Controlled Demolition	Bastion

Controlled Demolition

Bastion

Controlled Demolition: Hitting a target with a Void ability or Volatile explosion makes them volatile. Further damage to a volatile target causes them to explode. Grants you and nearby allies health when volatile targets explode near you. Making enemies volatile makes them explode when they die. This aspect makes volatile explosions make whoever it hits also volatile leading to some great chain kills. Volatile explosions near you also heal you which is a nice little benefit.

Bastion: Cast your Super to grant Overshield to nearby allies. 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. This aspect grants us and our allies an overshield when casting our barricade. This is one of the buffs we are going to be giving our allies regularly

Fragments

Echo of Instability	Echo of Expulsion	Echo of Undermining

Echo of Instability

Echo of Expulsion

Echo of Undermining

Echo of Instability: Defeating targets with grenades grants Volatile Rounds to your Void weapons. Kill a few enemies with a grenade to make your void weapon volatile, adding to our void explosions. Remember when targets explode from volatile they make everything they touch volatile and heal us.

Echo of Expulsion: Void ability final blows cause targets to explode. While not our goal like the beginner build, stuff blowing up is always great for us and our allies.

Echo of Undermining: Your Void grenades weaken targets. We want to debuff our enemies and hitting things with our suppression grenade will now weaken them as well.

Gear

Kinetic Weapons

PvE is always a situational piece in Destiny. What content you are doing always has a significant effect on your loadout. I will list some great options that work in most situations, but note that you will most likely have to change things out.

Something worth noting if you have a special weapon here, run a primary in your energy slot or vice versa. You can also run primary weapons in both slots, but double special weapons are typically not the best play except in very certain situations. Remember that these are suggestions and you will definitely have to switch weapons out.

Recommended Kinetic Weapons	Suggested Perk 1	Suggested Perk 2
Arbalest	Compounding Force	Disruption Break
Witherhoard	Primeval's Torment	Break the Bank
Night Watch	Rapid Hit	Explosive Payload

Arbalest: Obtained as a random drop through exotic engrams or bought from Xur on random rotation. Arbalest is one of the most used special weapons in PvE and for good reason. Its damage is great, it penetrates Barrier Champion shields, and can break through any elemental shield as well. No one will question you if you have this weapon equipped.

Witherhoard: Obtained from the Monument to Lost Lights. A great weapon overall, and is even better this season with the addition of the Weakened Clear artifact mod. This weapon really shines when it has its catalyst unlocked, which can be a bit of a grind.

Night Watch: You get a decent rolled one of these during the tutorial. They can sometimes be obtained from random drops. Scouts are always a great choice as they provide safety of range.

Energy Weapons

Recommended Energy Weapons	Suggested Perk 1	Suggested Perk 2
Funnelweb	Subsistence	Frenzy
Collective Obligation	Void Leech	Umbral Sustenance
CALUS Mini-Tool	Unrelenting	Incandescent

Funnelweb: Obtained as a random drop from most activities and can be focused at the Star Chart in the HELM with the Veist Weapon Focui. This is the slightly less powerful little brother to the Mini-Tool in most situations, but for our void Titan it is absolutely the best choice. Personal favorite of Deltia.

Collective Obligation: btained randomly from the Vow of Disciple raids final encounter. This weapon works so well with this build. Basically taking our debuffs from our enemies and letting us hit our enemies with them again. Its only downsides are that we are no longer being able to use Arbalest and it is a rare raid exotic.

CALUS Mini-Tool: Obtained through Opulent Chest the Derelict Leviathan and the Crown of Sorrow at the Helm. This weapon is one of the best add clear weapons in the game. Fast firing with a great perk pool. It's one worth grinding for. This is a craftable weapon.

Heavy Weapons

Recommended Heavy Weapons	Suggested Perk 1	Suggested Perk 2
Taipan-4fr	Triple Tap	Firing Line
Deathbringer	Dark Deliverance	Dark Descent
Retrofit Escapade	Fourth Time's the Charm	Target Lock

Taipan-4fr: Obtained from random drops or can be focused at the Star Chart at the HELM. Can also be obtained by completing the Foundry Resonance quest at the Artifact at the Enclave. This is one of the better DPS weapons in the game and can be obtained easily. This is a craftable weapon.

Deathbringer: Super strong Void Rocket It will decimate anything so long as you aim higher to get the exotic weapon damage to work.

Retrofit Escapade: Strong Machine gun because it will proc volatile rounds at an insane rate with GYRFALCON'S HAUBERK .

Exotic Armor

Exotic Armor	Exotic Perk
Citan's Ramparts	Assault Barricade
Helm of Saint-14	Starless Night
Heart of Inmost Light	Overflowing Light

Citan's Ramparts : Obtained as a random drop from Exotic Engrams. These will weaken how much health your barrier has but allow you to shoot through them. This is obviously a great tactical advantage, but don't get too comfortable as it dies much quicker than a standard barricade. Get your shot off quickly and dip once it goes down.

Helm of Saint-14 : Obtained as a random drop from Exotic Engrams. This strengthens our Ward of Dawn making our super more effective.

Heart of Inmost Light : Obtained as a random drop through exotic engrams or bought from Xur on random rotation. This exotic is worth getting quickly as it is a staple in a lot of Titan end game builds. Ability usage makes other abilities stronger. A great choice in most situations. Flex this in if you need to help your team with damage numbers.

Armor Stats

Stat distribution number goals:

Mobility - <50 (higher is fine if you’ve hit other markers)
Resilience - 100
Recovery - ~60
Discipline - >80
Intellect - ~70
Strength - ~60

[caption id="attachment_30844" align="aligncenter" width="486"]

Resilience Tier 8 Lightfall Destiny 2[/caption] Resilience Changes: The resilience stat was heavily nerfed in Lightfall expanse and now only receives 30% damage reduction at 100 stat. Outside of Titan builds, your goal is tier 8 (80 stats) to get good damage reduction without wasted stats.

Important Mods

Armor Modification Change: these mods will seem foreign to returning players with Lightfall changing the entire system. The system you build around now is only orbs of power. You also see an armor charge mechanic and some of the previous mechanics for generating orbs of power and previously used mods. This system is evolving, and we will continue to make changes as we gain a better understanding of the new mod system. Here’s a list of all the current armor mods.

Artifice Armor Change: provides an extra +3 to whatever stat you want this should help you reach these stat goals.

Artifact Change: The artifact no longer provides mods instead it reduces the costs of some of the mods and provides passives as you level up and unlock them. Season 20 Artifact.

Head	Resilience Mod Go minor if you lack the energy on your armor
Head	Void Siphon Rapid Void weapon final blows create an Orb of Power.
Head	Kinetic Siphon Rapid Kinetic weapon final blows create an Orb of Power.
Head	Ashes to Assets Gain bonus Super energy on grenade kills.

Legs	Minor Discipline Mod

Legs	Better Already Your health begins to regenerate immediately after picking up an Orb of Power.
Legs	Void Weapon Surge Collecting an Orb of Power causes you to gain 1 temporary Armor Charge.\nYour Void weapons gain a small bonus to damage while you have any Armor Charge. Your Armor Charge now decays over time.
