Most of you have probably heard of the MIDA combo with the Hunter and Radiant Dance Machines but this new build I've been using is a very fun one that I'm surprised I've heard no one else mention! Its built around mainly the MIDA and Shoulder charge but has some versatility to it beyond that. Not only is it fun in PvP but low end PvE content as well! Hunters and Warlocks can use the nasty blink/shotgun combo while Titans can't. However, this build gives Titans a worthy alternative!
[u]Weapons:[/u]
[u]Primary[/u] [b]MIDA-Multi-Tool[/b] - (When equipped you give yourself the biggest boost to your speed through any gear!)
[u]Special[/u] (Insert)[b]Shotgun[/b] - (With the very versatile MIDA you are covering medium to long range and when you start rushing a shotgun can come in handy!)
[b]Alternative: Fusion Rifle[/b] (because you'll most likely be using shoulder charge and while a shotgun gives more security in close range a good fusion rifle will give you a little more versatility)
[u]Heavy:[/u] (Recommended)[b]Rocket Lancher[/b] (A good rocket is usually the best choice in crucible and with this rushing build a rocket would work best for these type of encounters as oppose to the machine gun which encourages a more campy playstyle)
[u]Armor[/u]
[u]Exotic:[/u] [b]ACD/0 Feedback Fence[/b] (You'll be up in peoples faces a lot and will sometimes resort to the almighty fist so if someone punches you it allows you win nearly every fist fight! On top of that, correct me if I'm wrong, you should be getting extra super energy from your shoulder charge *melee kills* while using this exotic)
[u]Alternatives: [/u] Many of the other Titan exotics work with this build to but the leg armor like [b]MK. Stand Asides[/b] or [b]Peregrine Greaves[/b] might be the better alternatives as this is a shoulder charge focused build.
[u]Stat spread:[/u] You'll most likely want to spec for [b]Intellect[/b] and [b]Strength[/b] but its totally up to you
[u]Skill Tree:[/u]
[b]Shoulder charge[/b] is a [b]Must[/b]!
Either [b]Increased Control[/b] or [b]Catapult[/b] should be used for your Lift jump to get places [i]even faster![/i] (I personally use Increased Control as it allows me to be constantly moving quickly from the momentum without having to land on the ground again in order to get another short boost)
[b]Transfusion[/b] will allow you to regenerate health from a shoulder charge or melee kill allowing you to bounce back after taking damage.
Either [b]Overload[/b] or [b]Amplify[/b] on Storm Fist would be good choices depending on your focus.
The rest is up to you!
[i]You could go for max agility with recovery or max armor and recovery depending on what you see as the best for you.[/i]
[b]Max agility build[/b] will give you even more walk and strafe speed along with a slight boost to sprint speed.
[b]Max armor build[/b] will allow you to survive things like a hunter's tripmine grenade and a double headshot burn from the Thorn with a sliver of health left. I believe it also allows you to survive two head shots from the Iron Banner Timur's Lash and other high impact handcannons like it.
[u]Vanity[/u] If your using the Feedback Fence then I would recommend using the Sunsetting shader from Eris if you can get it. It compliments the exotic's colors very well! =P
What I like about this build is its totally made for rushing but it has the versatility to be used at very long ranges when necessary. Enemies can have a hard time tracking you because your so fast and you'll be king when it comes to close quarters mobility and kill options.

2 RepliesHoly crap this build is amazing! Look at my recent matches on my titan lol thank you so much outgunning thorns and last words with this thing.

2 RepliesTry the new boots they're amazing I use them when I run striker in crucible. Defender titans with armor of light are no longer a threat and I max armor and agility with mida. Also transfusion so much fun.

5 RepliesTitan is the best period.

1 ReplyI play a striker as well but prefer an intellect and discpline set up. I usually play max agility with realitively high armor and middle of road recovery. Is recovery really worth it, or I should I be running max armor and agility? And is that good for trials

Can't wait to try this!

This sound awesome. I'm going to have to use it.

2 RepliesEdited by Steezus12: 6/11/2015 10:03:18 AMI'd just use the MK 44 stand Asides, I've played with this exact build before and you can hold should charge across almost the entire map. Haha

1 ReplyEdited by Fur Hammerlock: 6/11/2015 10:48:01 AMI play an Agility-Striker myself with a MIDA pretty often, and let me offer this piece of advice to make you even faster; Use [b]Catapult[/b] for your jump, instead of jumping and pressing A or X once, spam it three times after jumping, Catapult gives a momentum boost with each short-boost when you spam A or X (you can get in 3 boosts), it allows for [i]really really[/i] quick movement. I do it in Trials all the time, I can get to the opponents side of the map on Widow's Court in less than 7 seconds. Also, if you use a certain Titan Codex set up you can have a ton of armor and agility, but almost no recovery.

4 RepliesIs it just me or do the feedback fences not work all the time? It only seems to work with titans and hunters, I don't thin it registers sometimes with warlocks because their melee doesn't actually physically hit you?

7 RepliesEdited by Afawafa: 6/11/2015 11:49:29 AMI'd just like to point out that both MIDA's speed boost and agility have absolutely no effect on sprint speed. So, you'll be shoulder charging into enemies at the same speed as a full armor/recovery Titan. AGI affects walk and strafe speed while aiming, but even a max AGI Hunter sprints at the same speed as a min AGI Titan(unless he's a bladedancer using the perk that specifically says it increases sprint speed). Also, it's worth noting that a Titan skating with Increased Control Lift is faster than pretty much everything else. Edit: My bad, after some retesting I found that MIDA does indeed slightly increase sprint speed. I'm still certain that the AGI stat by itself doesn't though.

3 RepliesDoesn't work against lag-ers and people who actually know what a radar is.

Yeah your going to be doing a lot of shotguning. Also you can max recovery and armor with head strong. If you don't you'll likely eat a trip mine.
-
14 RepliesThe thing is... MIDA doesn't increase sprinting speed. Agility +2 on ANY shotgun will work (+ Battle Runner can work).
-
Yea I tried this before. Went yolo in the beginning of the match and straight rushed their spawn and got a quick double kill.

Love this build

1 ReplyThat's pretty much my titan pvp build :)

I'm scarred already

1 ReplySaw my favorite destiny youtuber using this the other day, the only thing you forgot was catapult to make you move faster while jumping.
