In PvE, these Titans are almost unkillable on their own, roving war machines who can shrug off a planetary bombardment before they lunge toward an unlucky victim and sever them from reality. It hasn't been nerfed yet, and with Festival of the Lost now live (meaning it's time to hunt Spectral Pages), the Banner of War Titan build could be your best option for farming the more challenging Legend Haunted Sectors of this event.

Season 22 introduced some terrific new Strand Aspects, with Titans receiving the melee-centric Banner of War. To get Banner of War, you can pay a visit to Nimbus, get the new Veil Containment seasonal mission, and head over to the paracausal MacGuffin to quickly earn your new Aspect. Visit the Pouka Pond afterward, unlock the Aspect, and you're ready to roll.

Once you've got the banner fully charged, you'll be healing from damage at a near-instantaneous rate and for a substantial amount per pulse.
