The Power of Fledged Storm
Fledged Storm, a Titan strand ability introduced in Season of The Deep, is a force to be reckoned with. It excels in both crowd control and boss damage, making it a versatile choice for various PVE activities. xHOUNDISHx demonstrates just how powerful Fledged Storm can be in the gameplay footage, taking down large groups of enemies and dealing significant damage to tanky targets.
Optimizing Fledged Storm
To truly unleash the potential of Fledged Storm, xHOUNDISHx recommends utilizing specific build setups. One of the key components is the Banner of War subclass, which synergizes well with Fledged Storm. By defeating a target with a melee attack, finisher, or sword, the Banner of War is triggered, providing periodic healing and increased melee and sword damage. This not only enhances survivability but also boosts the damage of Fledged Storm.
Additionally, xHOUNDISHx suggests running various mods and abilities that complement Fledged Storm. Thread of Fury grants melee energy when damaging targets with a tangle, increasing Fledged Storm’s uptime. Thread of Continuity increases the duration of suspend unravel and sever effects, further enhancing the damage potential. Thread of Warding emits a severing burst from the target when landing rapid precision hits, adding even more damage to the mix.
A Well-Rounded Build
To further optimize the build, xHOUNDISHx utilizes other synergistic abilities and mods. The use of Monte Carlo, a weapon that reduces melee cooldown and grants a chance to fully charge melee abilities with each kill, greatly enhances the uptime of Fledged Storm. Pairing it with a shotgun with Pugilist, which grants melee energy on shotgun kills, provides even more opportunities to keep Fledged Storm active.
The build also incorporates the use of Synthoceps, which increases melee and super damage when surrounded, as well as mods like Font of Vigor, which grants a bonus to strength while having an armor charge. By producing an abundance of orbs of power, the build ensures that armor charge is almost always active, reducing melee cooldown and providing additional melee energy.
A Total Killing Machine
With all these synergies and optimizations in place, the build turns the Titan into a total killing machine. Fledged Storm becomes a monstrous source of damage, especially with the various damage buffs active. The build also generates orbs of power, which further reduce cooldowns, grant woven male for additional damage reduction, and trigger the benefits of Banner of War.
Not only does the build excel in normal content, but it can also hold its own in harder activities such as raids, dungeons, and solo lost sectors. The combination of Fledged Storm, Synthoceps, and other synergistic abilities and mods make it a formidable choice for a wide range of activities.
Final Thoughts
Fledged Storm may be an underrated ability, but xHOUNDISHx’s video showcases its true potential. While there may be other builds more suited to specific activities, Fledged Storm shines in its ability to clear out enemies and deal high damage consistently. Whether you’re tackling easy content or taking on tougher challenges, Fledged Storm is a fun and powerful option to consider for any Strand Titan.
