This guide will provide the best Crucible builds, weapons, and exotics for each Titan Subclass, allowing you to dominate no matter the game mode.
Arc - Striker
Striker’s recent updates have propelled it to the top of the tier list. This build enables you to be hyper-aggressive with powerful movement abilities and damage in one package.
Stat Priorities: Resilience, Discipline, Strength
Aspects: Knock Out, Touch of Thunder.Knock Out is an extremely powerful aspect that iseasily triggeredand gives you more damage, melee range, health regen on kills, andAmplifiesyou too.
Fragments: Spark of Feedback, Magnitude, Resistance, Shock. Your fragments give you important stat boosts and enhance your grenades further to enablehuge damageacross the enemy team thanks to Jolt.
You have a few exotic choices with this build.Peregrine Greaves,Peacekeepers, andDunemarchersall enhance your mobility and provide other benefits that you can lean into. If you take Peacekeepers, you can run double SMG or pair one with a Sniper or Shotgun. Otherwise, this is a flexible build which you can build out to your preference.
Solar - Sunbreaker
Solar 3.0 made Sunbreaker an absolute terror in combination with its strong exotics and the Season 17 mods. Without the strong Season 17 mods, Sunbreaker no longer shines in PVP. The subclass' main weakness is needing ability kills to drive its other synergies, which is justmuch easier in PVE. If you can manage it, Sunbreakers can still snowball hard, so for this build you’ll want to focus on its powerful grenades and roaming super.
Stat Priorities: Resilience, Discipline, Intellect
Aspects: Sol Invictus, Roaring Flames. The stacking buff from Roaring Flames is what you’re looking for in this build. Yourability kills gain stacks, which in turn let you do increasing damage, which makes getting ability kills easier, and so on.
Fragments: Ashes, Beams, Char, Searing. One of the problems with Sunbreaker is that many of their abilities drive fromIgnitions, which are veryhard to achievein Crucible. Because of this, some of these fragments are taken just for the stats bonuses rather than their effects.
Thebest Exoticfor this build is theAshen Wakegauntlets. These cause your fusion grenades to travel faster, explode instantly on impact, and grant yougrenade energy on kills. The synergy with your Aspects and Fragments means that when you get your first grenade kill, you can very quickly be throwing grenades more and more often for higher and higher damage.

Stasis - Behemoth
Like the other Stasis Subclasses, Behemoth has fallen in popularity after taking some nerfs and as the other aspects got their glow-ups. But it still has some powerful tools for control and survivability, and this build will lean into its core identity of freezing.
Aspects: Diamond Lance, Tectonic Harvest
Fragments: Whisper of Chains, Conduction, Durance, Rime, Shards
This build leans heavily on two different Exotics:CrysothesiaandHoarfrost-Z. Crysothesia is used to finish off opponents and enable its Charged Shots which Freeze opponents. YourDiamond LanceAspect also freezes opponents. Between your weapon and abilities, you are constantly freezing enemies, taking less damage when near them, and regaining ability energy from them. Hoarfrost-Z turns your barricade into a wall ofstasis crystals, giving you an Overshield and letting you shatter them for energy. Between all of your different abilities and weapons, you may lock down enemies and zones easily – and be very tanky while you do so.
Void - Sentinel
Sentinel remains one of the strongest options for Trials because of its shutdown super and powerful defensive abilities.
Stat Priorities: Resilience, Recovery, Discipline
Aspects: Bastion, Offensive Bulwark. Bastion is one of your most important aspects, as it grantsOvershieldsto you and your teammates when you use barricade. Bastion synergizes with this by increasing grenade charge when you have an Overshield.
Fragments: Leeching and Expulsion are the two most important for their healing and damage abilities and their stat boosts. you’re able to use your third fragment slot for whatever stat boost you need most.
Despite this build having many defensive abilities, it can be played as aggressively as you want. If you runPeacekeepersand an SMG, you will have great mobility and can rush with your teammates using your Overshields to get the edge on your opponents.
