Destiny 2 is seeing a free content update with Into the Light. Central to this update is Onslaught mode, which will be the source of the Brave weapon series. With the new Onslaught game mode, this activity will test your PvE build to the limit as you square off against multiple hordes of adds, majors, Champions, and bosses. The objective in Onslaught is to defend the ADU from enemy attacks, with 50 waves of Fallen, Hive, Taken, and other enemy factions. We will highlight powerful builds for the Titan class that can make Legendary difficulty a breeze.
Solar / Pyrogale Gauntlets
Utilizing the Consecration melee ability, this Solar build can clear out lanes while dealing Scorch, feeding mire ability energy to your grenades and melee. The idea for this build is to deal Scorch to enemies, which will drop Firesprites for you and give you the ability to regain energy. This build uses Consecration, which leaves behind a fire cyclone thanks to Pyrogale Gauntlets.

Stasis / Hoarfrost Z
With enemy waves coming from specific lanes, locking down an area with Stasis crystals helps stem the flow of enemies coming your way. Hoarfrost Z’s perk replaces the Barricade ability with a wall of crystals, which can freeze enemies in place. Breaking crystals are a must for this build since they provide extra ability energy, thanks to the Tectonic Harvest Aspect. Locking up lanes has never been made easier than with this build.
