First off I wanna say I really appreciate the text on screen, I often screenshot builds like this to try them later. I'm gonna go home and try this after work!
I learned a few things about icefall when I created this build a few seasons ago, and you're missing a trick by not having dynamo on your helmet. Every activation and manual deactivation of glacial guard counts as a separate use of your class ability, which any mod that activates off of class ability usage (dynamo, bomber, outreach, reaper) can double dip. I personally use bomber as well for faster grenades, but you definitely should consider dynamo, as more super energy means more alt-fire mode uptime on agers.
It also activates Permeability on deactivation too! So you can activate and slay out with Agers and then swap to your Permeability weapon and deactivate and continue on slaying with your primary :D
Thanks for this build - I've been using it all day! Scalar Potential is a real stand out pick since Permeability is in the 3rd slot you can go for a damage perk in the 4th column. I went with High Ground instead of Golden Tricorn since I find getting to x2 with stasis abilities to be inconsistent and I have a higher up time on a damage perk that does more than Golden Tricorn x1. The reworked High Ground a while ago where you can build stacks on kills if you aren't elevated. So as you get kills you get stacks of High Ground (if you aren't already elevated) and stacks of stasis surge you are doing 50%+ extra damage with Scalar Potential - truly living up to its name lol! Having Permeability on a weapon with Icefall Mantle is pretty much like having double damage perks! The final weapon I use is a Eager Edge/Cold Steel Slammer for mobility. But honestly I'm activating and deactivating the Mantle most of the time.
Thank you for the build! Icefall Mantle was always an exotic I’ve always wanted to use but never knew how to build it. And with new changes coming next season this is gonna be really dank.
Definitely subbing, been a Behemoth main for the 4 years it's been in the game and you hit the nail on the head all the way through, you even went so far as to not acknowledge shiver strike does damage like any true stasis titan main would. Plus the frost armour upkeep is gonna be easier next season on account of diamond lance slams restoring 2 stacks to yourself and allies in range (and shiver strike will finally do something for once in its lifetime thank god) 10/10 will be returning to icefall mantle for funsies bc of this
Great build! I love the showcases of off meta builds. And as a Titan main, anything other than consecration-knockout has my full attention haha. You got a sub from me dude!
Just saw the changes to Icefall coming in Revenant - hella sad they're removing the surges and moving to Frost Armour only (I'm assuming they're removing the activation/deactivation mechanic) but I'm glad I got to enjoy this build for a week before it will be changed.
It really wouldn’t. Vexcalibur on void Titan would still be the comparative better option, especially when these upcoming buffs to void overshield go through. Using a stasis glaive on this build means you’re foregoing a better stasis slot option, which means you’re missing out on a portion of the damage buff since glaive melee damage is kinetic, therefore only your glaive projectile damage would be buffed by Icefalls. A different case can possibly be made for Winterbite, the stasis heavy glaive, since it’s melee attacks apply slow, thus making it do stasis damage and then presumably benefitting from Icefalls buff, on top of the fact that Winterbite already does impressive melee damage. This would require testing though, as it’s only speculative theory that Winterbites melees would count as stasis damage.
master lost sector is 20 power level delta, while gm is 25 power level delta. So I'd say this build is very run-able in gm, with a bit more caution. If you arent running solo, this is definitely run-able in gm, solo might be hard but possible.

shat about it is nerfed sure no more weapons surges boo hoo theres surges on boot if you really want it and the boost really wasn’t that powerful
I only occasionally play Titan, but this looks great, so I'll have to try out out. Subbed 👍
This build will cook next episode after the mega buff
the reason bungie hasn't given us a stasis glaive in the kinetic slot is that it would make this build a bit broken lol

Thx!
Love the Gameplay!!....now next....Hmmmm....Crest of Alpha Lupi :P
I have a crazy revenant and I know revenant ain’t used much but if you would like to use it for this series you can
Bungie please I ask one thing
Let icefall mantle trigger Dredgens Lash 🙏
Next: Khepri's Horn infinite ignition on Solar Subclass
Comment for support
Come next season, mobility will be higher due to refund on melee whiff.
U cooked
I have a lot of builds you could use, you should add me
it looks nice but idk its its gm nice
master lost sector is 20 power level delta, while gm is 25 power level delta. So I'd say this build is very run-able in gm, with a bit more caution. If you arent running solo, this is definitely run-able in gm, solo might be hard but possible.
