'''Stasis''' is an elemental manifestation of the [[Darkness]], in an equivalent manner as [[Arc]], [[Solar]] and [[Void]] are elemental manifestations of the [[Light]]. It is related to cold, and more precisely to the cessation of movement on a macroscopic and atomic level, slowing, detaining, and then shattering. In keeping with the Darkness' connection with thoughts and consciousness, it also embodies the concepts of will and control, and to wield and master it requires someone to exercise ultimate authority over both oneself and others, lest destruction run wild.<ref name = "Explain"/> It is first introduced in the expansion ''[[Beyond Light]]'' as the first of Darkness-based [[subclass]]es.

In [[Shadowkeep]], Eris Morn gained Stasis by communing with the statue in the [[Lunar Pyramid]]. Finally, the [[Exo Stranger]] gained Stasis from the Pyramid on Europa, shortly before the events of [[Beyond Light]].

After the return of the Black Fleet, [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] gained the ability to wield Stasis through the use of a [[Splinter of Darkness]]. With the help of [[Praksis, the Technocrat]] she was able to extend the use of Stasis to other leading members of the [[House of Salvation]]. The Fallen House would go on to experiment with Stasis, culminating in the creation of [[Salvation's Grip]] which was later located by the Drifter and stolen by the Guardian.

In Beyond Light, [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] gained the power of Stasis, first through a Splinter given to them by the Stranger, and then by drawing upon the Darkness within themselves. The Stranger would go on to help them further understand Stasis using Clovis' journal and encouraged them to introduce the power to other Guardians. However, the Vanguard leadership, primarily [[Zavala]], holds ill feelings about Guardians wielding powers that come from that which brought about the Collapse. Though Zavala understood the reasoning of wielding Stasis against Eramis and her forces as "fighting fire with fire", he concluded that Guardians cannot compromise with the Darkness, thereby making it a policy to ban Guardians from using Stasis. Despite this policy proclamation, Guardians continue to learn and wield the power of Stasis in their efforts to save the Solar System from suffering another Collapse.

[[Revenant]] [[Hunter (class)|Hunters]] use Stasis to summon two Stasis kamas thrown in quick succession, known as [[Silence and Squall]]. Silence creates a small area of freezing, and Squall creates a roaming Stasis storm that slows and damages enemies caught inside.

[[Shadebinder]] [[Warlock]]s can manifest a staff out of Stasis to send out barrages of freezing Stasis shards and create shockwaves that shatter all frozen targets. This [[Super]] is known as [[Winter's Wrath]].

*'''Stasis Crystal''' – A crystal of solidified Stasis matter. Upon creation, '''freezes''' nearby combatants and '''slows''' nearby players. Crystals can be destroyed, dealing damage in an area.
**Stasis Crystals come in two sizes: small, around waist height, and large taller than a player. These sizes change the freezing radius and amount of damage dealt on destruction.

Stasis damage is rare among enemies. [[Ultra|Powerful]] [[Fallen]] of the [[House of Salvation]] can use Stasis abilities in the form of Duskfield Grenades, Stasis crystal storms, or with their Ultra Smash. The only ranged Stasis weapon is the [[Stasis Boomer]] wielded by some [[Taken]], while the only melee weapon is the [[Stasis Censer]] used by [[Scorn]] [[Ravager]]s. That said, these abilities have additional effects beyond their elemental damage, being capable of slowing and freezing the player.
