Destiny 2 Hunter Mask of Fealty Stasis Build Guide

The Hunter's Withering Blade ability transforms into an absolute powerhouse when paired with the Mask of Fealty Exotic helmet. 🧊💥 This devastating combo lets Guardians flood entire arenas with explosive Stasis Crystals and ricocheting Withering Blades, vaporizing enemy mobs the moment they spawn. Perfect for endgame content with swarming adds, this build turns dodging into a tactical weapon while creating chain reactions of frozen devastation across the battlefield. Simple to play yet incredibly potent, it's become a 2025 meta favorite for clearing high-density encounters like Legendary Shards or Master raids.

❄️ Core Mechanics Breakdown

Mask of Fealty completely revolutionizes the Stasis Hunter's gameplay by enhancing Withering Blade - the Revenant's signature melee attack. Here's the magical synergy:

• Throw blades into crowds → regain melee energy + spawn small Stasis Crystals

• Hit frozen targets/crystals → trigger cascading explosions 💣 launching MORE blades

• Those secondary blades generate MORE crystals → creating infinite destruction loops

This turns single throws into exponential chaos, especially against clustered enemies.

🔄 Ability Synergy Engine

Three components create the build's engine:

1. Gambler's Dodge: Regenerates Withering Blade charge when dodging near foes

2. Winter's Shroud Aspect: Slows enemies during dodges 🌀

3. Threaded Specter Aspect: Creates aggro-drawing clone after dodging (swap to Stylish Executioner if survivability issues arise)

This holy trinity enables constant ability uptime - dodge to reset blades, slow enemies, distract threats, then repeat!

❓FAQ Section

Q: Why prioritize Strength over Discipline?

A: Blades trigger your crystal chain reactions - faster recharge means more explosions!

Q: Can I use non-Stasis weapons?

A: Yes, but Stasis guns synergize with Fragments (e.g., Headstone creates detonatable crystals)

Q: What content is this TOO risky for?

A: Grandmaster Nightfalls with extreme enemy density - positioning becomes critical

Q: How do I handle overload champions?

A: Freeze locks them temporarily - pair with overload mod weapon for stun combos!

Q: Should I run grenade-focused mods?

A: Optional - this build centers on melee/dodge, but Duskfield grenades add control

Q: Any artifact mod synergies?

A: Seasonal Stasis artifact mods (like shard generation or crystal explosions) amplify the build!
