Key Takeaways:
- Fledged Storm is a Titan strand ability that excels in killing large groups of enemies and dealing high damage to tanky targets.
- By combining Fledged Storm with the Banner of War subclass, players can significantly boost both damage and survivability.
- Thread of Fury, Thread of Continuity, Thread of Warding, and Thread of Isolation are essential in maximizing the potential of Fledged Storm.
- Monte Carlo, shotguns with Pugilist, and Synthoceps are recommended gear choices to enhance the effectiveness of Fledged Storm.
The Power of Fledged Storm
Fledged Storm is an ability that shouldn’t be underestimated. While sliding, players can activate their charge melee ability to leap into the air, knocking nearby enemies back and dealing damage. Once airborne, the charged melee can be activated again to launch a cluster of damaging unraveling projectiles. By repeatedly activating this melee, players can chain additional throws, turning Fledged Storm into a mini-super when fully charged.
One of the key aspects of this build is the combination of Fledged Storm with the Banner of War subclass. Defeating enemies with a melee attack, finisher, or sword raises the Banner of War, periodically healing the player and nearby allies while increasing melee and sword damage. This synergizes perfectly with Fledged Storm, boosting its damage and survivability.
Additionally, the build incorporates various threads from the subclass. Thread of Fury grants melee energy for damaging targets with a tangle, increasing Fledged Storm uptime. Thread of Continuity extends the duration of suspend unravel and sever effects, further enhancing the power of Fledged Storm. Thread of Warding, paired with Woven Male, provides additional damage reduction. Lastly, Thread of Isolation emits a severing burst from targets when landing rapid precision hits, adding more damage to the build.
Optimal Gear Choices
Monte Carlo is a crucial weapon in this build as it reduces melee cooldown and has a chance to fully charge melee abilities with each kill. Using the melee or Fledged Storm ability with Monte Carlo further boosts its damage. Shotguns with the Pugilist perk, such as Mindbender’s Ambition, are recommended due to the build’s reliance on sliding. Pugilist grants melee energy for shotgun kills, allowing players to constantly have access to Fledged Storm.
Synthoceps and various armor mods play a significant role in this build. Synthoceps provide increased melee and super damage when surrounded, benefiting both Fledged Storm and the Titan super. The Font of Vigor mod grants a strength bonus while having an armor charge, which pairs perfectly with the melee Kickstart mod. Melee Kickstart consumes the armor charge when melee energy is fully expended, granting melee energy for each armor charge used. These mods, along with Stacks on Stacks and Invigoration, ensure that melee energy is constantly replenished for maximum Fledged Storm uptime.
Conclusion
While there may be other builds better suited for specific hard content in Destiny 2, Fledged Storm shines as an all-out slaying setup. It excels in normal content and can hold its own in harder activities like raids, dungeons, and solo lost sectors. The combination of high damage, survivability, and the ability to trigger multiple strong bonuses makes Fledged Storm a force to be reckoned with. Don’t sleep on this underrated ability!
