Titan Solar Build: Phoenix Cradle

Now that we have the actual perk lists from the Monument of Triumph artifacts, we can build the ultimate synergy loops for both variants of the Solar Titan (Sunspots).

A massive synergy exists with Implement of Curiosity via Elemental Benevolence ("Granting allies an elemental buff gives class ability energy"). Because your Shieldburst aspect grants scorching rounds to teammates, deploying your Rally Barricade gives you an immediate chunk of your class ability back.

⚔️ v1: The Vex Mythoclast Engine (Using Implement of Curiosity)

This artifact setup is custom-built for Vex Mythoclast. It triggers a cascade of auto-refreshing buffs, Scorch projectiles, and infinite grenades.

🔄 The Gameplay Loop

1. The Kickoff (Buff & Refund): Drop your Rally Barricade near your team. Shieldburst instantly grants your allies scorching rounds. Because you gave them a Solar buff, Elemental Benevolence grants you immediate Class ability energy, and Phoenix Cradle spawns a free Sunspot at your feet.
2. The Auto-Radiant Trigger: Step into your Sunspot to gain double-duration Sol Invictus and Restoration. Pivot to your targets with Vex Mythoclast; rapid precision hits trigger Fever and Chill, making you instantly Radiant.
3. The Grenade & Weapon Surge: Now that you are Radiant, Shieldcrush kicks your Healing Grenade recharge rate into overdrive. Defeating combatants prompts Elemental Coalescence to drop Solar Firesprites, which instantly trigger Elemental Overdrive to grant Vex and your Heavy weapon an extra Solar damage multiplier.
4. The Stasis-Solar Melt Combo: For high-health targets, pop them with your top-slot Stasis Special weapon to apply a Stasis debuff. Thanks to Cauterized Darkness, they now take drastically increased damage from all Solar sources. Swap to Vex or your Solar Heavy to delete them, extending the lifespan of your Sunspot with sustained weapon damage.
