Here are the best Destiny 2 Stasis builds we’ve found so far across each of the Hunter, Titan, and Warlock classes.

Destiny 2 Stasis Hunter build

Hunter Stasis abilities can make the class a force to be reckoned with in the Crucible, especially since Silence & Squall remains a powerful Super for area control. This build is geared towards freezing, and subsequently smashing, everything in sight.

Destiny 2 Stasis Titan build

If you can get yourself the Hoarfrost-Z exotic, you’ll want to test out this build that will have you creating, breaking, and absorbing the power from Stasis Crystals throughout every encounter. You’ll be able to take more damage, regenerate abilities more quickly, and generally tear through minions of the Darkness with ease.

Destiny 2 Stasis Warlock build

Playing solo can get lonely, but this Warlock build lets a Stasis buddy help you take on the Darkness by forming a turret. The magic here is that the Osmiomancy Gloves exotic allow for an extra Coldsnap Grenade, so you may create a turret AND throw one as per usual.

That’s how to unlock Stasis in Destiny 2, as well as the best Destiny 2 Stasis builds and its Aspects and Fragments. For more on the game, be sure to check out the following guides.
