[quote]I love Vexcalibur, it's the best exotic in the game... especially this season and it's catapulted to broken status when combined with a kit I made especially for it. And I must stress that... this kit will still be S tier without it, but it will require edits for your swap. As such, I'm starting with the optimal VC (Vexcalibur) craft - you want max shields. I'll explain why in detail beyond what might be obvious. VC: Auxillary Reserves, Swap Mag, Short Action Stock, & Feedback Refit (the final catalyst). You'll need to get all the secret chests and play Avalon a min of 4 times (3 legendary) to craft it like this. So, you want to be invincible? This kit does it. It's named 'Precious Calibur' because the 2 main cornerstones - Precious Scars (Helmet) and Vexcalibur named after (King Arthur's) iconic sword (not Lionheart, sry). You need need 4 main things for this kit to really shine: Precious Scars, Vexcalibur (hopefully crafted as I described), a good stock of kinetic slot ARs, Smgs, and/or Bows... and some good void heavys. This kit destroys shields and covers every champion affinity... so priority Void everything. Precious Scars - Kintsugi states final blows w a weapon dmg type matching your subclass creates a burst of healing for you and your team. This is called "healing" and it stacks to x2 and works like team restoration (old school efficacy) within 15 meters. That's much larger than a well or banner shield's buffer... and you can move. In addition, reviving allies or being revived grants overshields to everyone within 15 meters. So, we're killing stuff with Void Weapons as the core driver for this kit. Void Titan, either super based on the situation, but Banner Shield will do more for you 99% of the time. Rally Barricade. We want max regen, it will give us overshields so Towering isn't required. Shield Throw - overshields, max cooldown, and volatility upon hits Suppressor Nades - at first it might seem like there's very little ability spam in this kit, but there is. In fact, you'll have virtually unlimited Sup Nades if you follow this kit, and spam for all abilities & super. And... buff redundancies, healing spam, overshield spam, debuff spam. Aspects: Controlled Demolition - hitting a target with a void ability, OR volatile explosions makes enemies volatile. This includes your abilities but all volatile weapons either buffed or with destabilizing rnds. Grants health to you and your team when volatile enemies explode near you. So when I'm not within 10 meters, my entire team gets healed by the helmet, if they die near me and they die from volatile weapons... your entire team can't die, almost... there's so much healing. Bastion - Overshields for everyone from my Super activations, and barricades. Overshields grant 50% DR against all dmg... if you can spec for 8,9, 10 resilence, you're already immune to majority of incoming dmg. I have 10. Aspects: Echo of Starvation - orbs and void breaches grant devour . You need this to start the regen loop. Great healing too... but while devour is active you get nade regen. That will give us amazing uptime on the short cooldown of Sup nades. This will drive all of our ability spam, super spam. -10 recovery Echo of Persistance - Void buffs (devour, invisibility, overshields) last longer. We want this to max our regen and durability and invis... yes, literally everything... this kit has everything. -10 resilience Echo of Obscurity - Finishers make you invisible... and with Volatility spam everything will always be weak. We won't be using an armor charge finisher mods, but Invis essentially on demand with minor almost automatic setups - invis will do work, revives... ammo collection, skipping, and just for safety's sake. Mods: It's important that if you want max efficacy and for the ability spam loop to work, some of these mods need to be included. I'll make sure they're emphasized. Class item - Outreach (req ⚠️) melee when you use your class ability. Melee regen is the weak link in this ability spam loop. It might not seem very important now, but you'll see...the loop breaks without this mod. Time dilation - in 99% of use cases decay mods are really bad, worst in slot actually. This is a 1% kit... and to maximize our efficacy we need an extended timer for our armor charges. Proximity Ward - this will ensure you almost never die to nonsense while finishing enemies. Best in slot really... most kits should slot PW, the overshield only last for .25 secs after the finisher animation... finishes 😜, but that's enough... especially with this kit. You ever die while in your finisher? Used to happen to me regularly, now it never does. Boots: Stacks on Stacks - 2 charges per asset/orb Void Scavenger - you want to be using Vexcalibur and Void heavys. Void Weapon Surge - 15/10/5 ... we'll be using 1 for a stacking 15% dmg buff for our void weapons Chest: Charged Up x2 - that's brings us to 5/6 max armor charges; that combined with Stacks on Stacks and Time Dilation will give this kit a virtually permanent 15% buff to all your void weapons. Lucent Blades - increased efficacy for Glaives and Swords. As it sits... VC gains 20% energy for every ranged attack... or any empowered melee attack. VC becomes empowered 30% when you have any Overshield. So... that's 15% from Void weapon surge + 30% means 45% extra dps at base... and we're not done yet 😉. Gloves: Again, I'm emphasizing that for the ability spam loop to cycle properly you must, at least, run the mods indicated as required (⚠️). Bolstering Detonation (required ⚠️) - class ability regen with nade dmg * this connects to devour, so devour for nades... nades to regen your class ability, then outreach (class item) works of that to help your melee regen. Momentum Transfer (required ⚠️) - nade dmg restores melee, which links the loop all together. If you aren't having ammo economy issues, you could take 'void scavenger' off the boots and slot 'insulation' to strengthen that ability spam regen loop. Heavy Handed - powered melee kills grant orbs. You might be thinking, why not Firepower... didn't I just say melee is the caboose? Aren't you using shield throw? Yes..., but let me explain.... Dmg tags - I talked about it with the solar Titan kit. Orb production has a lot of conflicts and confusion within the system that can inhibit, limit, or cancel orbs from being produced. In this kit, sup nades are gonna get max regen in respect to dmg... you'll always have your sup nade. Your nades aren't meant to kill... it's 1st attack of your sup nade melee combo. Sup nade... melee to kill up to 3 enemies with a single shield throw and makes orbs. Your nades will suppress and make the enemy(ies) volatile, your shield throw will kill and make orbs. That's the basic tactical cadence that will vary based on enemy/difficulty. In low to mid level content your melee and nades will kill many enemies outright... so understanding when to use what is important to maximize your orb production from ability kills. In addition, spealking to the dmg tag system... enemies that die from volatility are often tagged as melee kills. This is why we're using Heavy Handed and not firepower. Helmet: Special Finder... possibly x2 if necessary or 1 finder and Void Siphon x2... so eithe 2 finders, 1 siphon... or 2 siphons and 1 finder (what I run) Artifact: this is where it really goes nuts Overload Bow Unstopp Scout (not needed, but we need to slot a 3rd in the first column... back up if you ever swap out VC) Overload AR/Smg The idea is Bow/AR/Smg in the kinetic slot... this will ensure 2 things: 1. Overload rnds, but also your kinetic will always be overcharged when there's an overcharged weapon modifier active. That's a guaranteed 25% buff for kinetic with overload rnds. It doesn't stack with surges but it does with other empowerments as I'll describe. We're not done yet 😉. Void mod reduction Nade mod reduction Dual siphon mods Volatile flow - orbs give your void weapons volatile rnds. This furthering our dps potential... In the case of VC, that 15+30 = 45% plus volatile rnds. Our void heavy is at 15%+ Volatile... but wait. Defiant Armory - crazy right, this buffs select origin perks. Like 'ambush' that gives a flat stacking 15% dmg buff without the artifact mod... it works like opening shot, refreshes like opening shot... the timers are different, and the artifact makes it and every origin perk included much better. Stand outs being ambush & nanotracers, of course. Example: I have a crafted retrofit void lmg with 4th times, and target lock... the artifact makes it better, ambush buff the dps on the front end, and by the time it's expired... target lock is already stacking up, 4th refreshing some of my ammo... great single target dps before, even better with Defiant Armory. And that's stacking with void weapon surge & volatile flow. But wait, there's more... Origin Hones - this combos w Defiant Armory and includes all the same perks including 'ambush'. This makes it so any weapons with those origin perks are overcharged when there is an overcharge weapon modifier active. This not only means I get that 25% stacking buff (not with surges), it means I can run void weapons with those origin perks w/o void surge and they'll still be given that flat 25%... any weapons with those perks including the kinetic slot. Ex. Perpetualis, it has 'noble deeds' (one of the qualifying perks)... it will always be overcharged regardless of the surge. So, heavy lmg that had 15% +, now also adds +25% so 40% dmg buff for my lmg + volatility + the defiant armory benefits. 45% for VC + volatile. And 25% for my kinetic slot when there's an overcharged modifier in place. Cont. 1of2[/quote] Awesome

Dude I literally use Precious Scars and everything. And Vexcalibur is one of my favorite exotics. Can I hug you?

Haha this is so thorough, nice work

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/262709394?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1 A follow-up to this post about Titans and their armor exotic advantages. I'll be posting multiple Titan loadouts and I'll link them all together to try and keep them in the feed as long as possible. I'm going to do each class, a few per. 3 kits: This solar one - https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/262717070?sort=0&page=0 a strand one - https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/262710451?sort=0&page=0 This is the last titan kit, 7 more... 4 for Warlock... 2 of which plug into the solar Titan kit for the strongest 3 man team build in the game. Then 3 for my Ninja brethren... saving the best class for last 😈.

I like build posts. My only wish though was a link to dim on this build. If I or someone else puts it together, wouldn't mind sharing it on this thread.

Finally someone who appreciates VEXCALIBUR 🤌🏾 Some dude told me it was detriment to the team running GM lol

This OP needs more love. Nice build, I may try it as I have been looking for a Titan support build.

I thought it was King Richard the lionheart, not Arthur.

Sounds great! Gonna have to check that out if i ever get bored of Strand. I really love people sharing their build. Wished it would happen more often on these forums.
