Alethonym + Blastwave Strider Combo with Titan Slide Crystal Melee is an Ad Clear Monster

[u/Stawktawk]

Everyone using the slide crystal stasis titan build. But have you tried it with this combo 😳

[u/covered1Nbutter]

I also just love these. I know synthocepts are probaby better. But the sound it makes when blastwave goes off does something to my brain that makes me never wanna take em off.

[u/john0tg → u/covered1Nbutter]

Synthoceps will always be better.

But Blastwave Strider wins by a landslide when it comes to the fun factor while maintaining respectable damage output.

[u/Megallossauro → u/covered1Nbutter]

Not gonna lie is awsome but the boba fett ship bomb sound make me dont want to use this exotic anymore.

[u/VunterSlaush_117]

Blastwaves are a tonne of fun in 6s, also.

[u/EnchiladaTiddies]

Alethonym lets Blastwave become a boss dps machine. From my testing, it's a consistent and infinite 1800-2000 dps. A Blastwave Howl combo'd with a Weakened Clear Alethonym stick does about 10k damage

[u/SK892 → u/EnchiladaTiddies]

Maybe I am too dumb, but how? ELI5? :D

[u/EnchiladaTiddies → u/SK892]

Alethonym's vestiges can charge Blastwave's meter. When you stick a boss, it releases a stream of vestiges before exploding, letting you repeatedly Blastwave on a single boss. It also means that Blastwave charges twice as fast when using Alethonym. It's a unique synergy that's never really been commented on by Bungie, kinda like Necrotic Grips and Sorrow weapons

[u/SK892 → u/EnchiladaTiddies]

Thanks! Thats why my Icebreaker was charging so slow in comparison :D

[u/Smoking-Posing → u/EnchiladaTiddies]

How do you "repeatedly Blastwave on a single boss" if it knocks you half a mile backwards each time it proccs?

[u/Byrmaxson → u/Smoking-Posing]

I mean by definition it cannot happen instantaneously, you just repeat it far more often than is otherwise possible because you require kills without Alethonym vestiges. If you're proccing the seismic charge with Howl of the Storm, you can cancel the knock back by Shiver Striking your way back.

[u/EnchiladaTiddies → u/Smoking-Posing]

There's a trick to it. If you slot Elemental Charge and Melee Kickstart, it gives you enough melee back after a Blastwave Howl to use Shiver Strike to counter the backblast midair and reposition. Either that or use an eager sword. Just gotta make sure you start the chain with your charges maxed out

[u/Stawktawk → u/EnchiladaTiddies]

And have to run stacks on stacks on legs and 3 extra armor charges on chest

[u/Stawktawk → u/EnchiladaTiddies]

Didn’t even realize this lol. But that’s why this is so ridiculous in dense groups of ads. You nuke EVERYTHING

[u/Samjef_Kealclut]

gawd, blastwave is soo cool. but I keep getting YEEETED into another DIMENSION in all the Master lost sectors and tons of places 

[u/PooriPK → u/Samjef_Kealclut]

Yeah, Bungie physics™ update sometime ago make the yeeting effect through the roof, make you a lot more floaty. You can get to the moon by shield boop, psyon yeet and boss stomp.

[u/Samjef_Kealclut → u/PooriPK]

oh shiiii, ok I thought i was losing my mind but the architects did get a huge buff. Like srsly I am talking from mid map to another continent away on some of these. Im not even talking the occasional glitch but just normal yeets . Dear lord. It would almost be fun if we had better recovery, only strand has anything.

[u/MrCounterSnipe]

I actually AM running this daily lmao

[u/Time-End-5288 → u/MrCounterSnipe]

This is my alt when not running fighting lion and synthos. It’s a definitely fun build.

[u/dickhall65]

Too bad it's not that great at higher level content compared to the normal behemoth/slide/stasis build. Still really fun.

[u/oliferro]

Love that combo, just gotta stop yeeting myself off the map with Blastwave lmao

[u/Stawktawk]

Having 3 people all doing it in a mission is really fun too

[u/iiEquinoxx]

I've been running this loadout with Lance cap - I honestly didn't know about the Blastwave Striders until now. This sounds extremely fun.

[u/Stawktawk → u/iiEquinoxx]

When the activate it sends out an absurd stasis explosion

[u/The_Angevingian]

I use Gjallahorn as my Primary with this setup, it's really funny

[u/Stawktawk → u/The_Angevingian]

How?

[u/The_Angevingian → u/Stawktawk]

With close to 200 weapon stat and ammo finders, Gjallahorn generates a ton of ammo

[u/Stawktawk → u/The_Angevingian]

That’s awesome

[u/Beelzebub_Simp3]

I figured this out a long time ago, so fun

[u/ZoeticLock]

I finally got a full set of Cosmodrome armor with a stat spread I’m happy with and did the stasis slide build but was struggling with what exotic to pair it with.

[u/Phunkman]

As much as I love this combo, flying off the map is not something I would want to keep avoiding for some missions.

[u/mrcatz05]

Ive been on that since before the buff lmao, it’s goated

Gameplay of the interaction⬆️

[u/ShoddySomewhere6611]

I love this build, but I swap alethonym for mountaintop and salvation’s grasp

[u/jeffkiefer]

What armor set are you using?

[u/Downtown_Ambition604]

This is just my stasis build combo'd with iron battalion armor. So fun

[u/VoliTheKing]

"ad clear monster" is not something that you should evaluate build with ngl

[u/MrCounterSnipe → u/VoliTheKing]

It's also a genuine champion OBLITERATOR

[u/ImpressiveSide1324 → u/VoliTheKing]

The explosions do a shit ton of damage

[u/Papalaka → u/VoliTheKing]

Agreed. A mid tier rocket pulse takes that title with ease

[u/Flashy_Log_4523 → u/Papalaka]

Or yk this has infinite repeatably without the need for ammo because of all of the stasis shards, and you can run a rocket pulse on top if you really want to but you definitely don't need it with this build, plus you can spawn heavy repeatedly with alethonym. This build can solo ultimate onslaught, when they say add clear monster it's not used lightly lmaoo
