Behemoth

From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki

Titan Behemoth casting Glacial Quake
Particle or planet, it all shatters with enough force.

The Behemoth is a Stasis-based Titan subclass featured in the Beyond Light expansion in Destiny 2.

Overview

Emphasizing high offense and high defense, Titan Behemoths use the Darkness to primarily create solid Stasis crystals from the ground where they slam. In combat, the Behemoth can use their Stasis abilities defensively – such as creating crystalline walls to block enemies and gunfire – or offensively, by using crystals to freeze enemies. With their Super, the Titan gains an armor of frozen Darkness and becomes an unstoppable wrecking machine temporarily, able to jump higher, faster, and farther; all while blasting enemies with greatly increased melee attacks and high damage mitigation. They can also use an additional melee uppercut to spawn Stasis crystals and can even create Diamond Lances to freeze their enemies with.[1]

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."
The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

The ground ruptured and sizzled as Scorch Cannons and Wire Rifles pummeled my cover from all directions. Fallen war cries echoed through their endless ranks; despair grew within me, but with it came a whisper. An offer. I closed my eyes and accepted.

The cold embraced me, dimming the sounds of battle into reverberant echoes, thin and distant. I flexed my gauntlets and felt the roar of glaciers grinding against the bones of the world.

I crashed my fists into the earth and frozen obelisks erupted, encasing Dregs and Vandals into helpless effigies. I gazed through the crystals enveloping my enemies, and in the myriad refractions, I saw their fear. I felt their desperate will to escape my grip, and in the moment before release, I shattered it.

Abilities

Behemoth subclass background

Super

  • Glacial Quake: Summon a Stasis gauntlet. While your super is active:
    • Slam your gauntlet down to create a shockwave that freezes targets and sends out Stasis crystals to freeze additional ones.
    • Super charge your Shiver strike for bonus damage. Sprint through Stasis crystals or frozen targets to shatter them instantly

Grenades

  • Glacier Grenade: A grenade that creates walls out of Stasis crystals to block damage and freeze targets; these walls can be shattered for damage.
  • Duskfield Grenade: A grenade that shatters on impact, leaving behind a field that slows targets and freezes those who do not leave the volume.
  • Coldsnap Grenade: A grenade that freezes on impact and sends another seeker to find and freeze targets.

Melee

  • Shiver Strike: Hold input to leap through the air. Releasing unleashes a powerful dash attack that knocks targets back, slowing and damaging them.

Movement

  • Catapult Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air with a strong initial burst of momentum.
  • High Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air to greater heights.
  • Strafe Lift: Jump while airborne to activate Lift and launch into the air with strong directional control.

Class Abilities

  • Towering Barricade: Create a large barrier that can be used to reinforce a position with cover from enemy fire.
  • Rally Barricade: Create a small barrier that you can peek over while aiming down sights and that increases reload speed for your equipped when you stand behind it.

Aspects

  • Cryoclasm (An ageless consciousness, crystallized, contained within a single moment. The imprisoned shatter at your approach.): Enables a longer and more powerful slide. Sliding into Stasis crystals or frozen targets shatters them and any nearby frozen targets. Fragment Slots (2)
  • Tectonic Harvest (A Petrified grip, grasping for something once held but now lost. Your hands create power from nothing.): Shattering a Stasis crystal creates a Stasis shard. This shard grants melee energy when picked up by you or your allies. Fragment Slots (2)
  • Howl of the Storm (The wicked talons of a war beast, frozen in a perpetual lunge. The creature is gone; all that remains is the violent momentum. You leap with feral force and the air itself echoes your rage.): While sliding, activate your charged melee ability to launch a wave of Stasis energy forward that freezes targets and creates Stasis crystals. Fragment Slots (2)
  • Diamond Lance (A weapon of Vex origin frozen at the moment before it lets its ordnance fly—like an arm, spear in hand, forever paused at the apex of its throw. It is the embodiment of action forever postponed, desperate to be unleashed.): Shatter or defeat targets with Stasis abilities to create a Stasis Lance. [Shoot] : Throw the lance to freeze targets on impact. [Melee] : Slam the lance to the ground to freeze targets in a small area. Fragment Slots (3)

  • Whisper of Torment: You gain grenade energy each time you take damage from targets.
