'''Stasis''' is an elemental manifestation of the [[Darkness]], in an equivalent manner as [[Arc]], [[Solar]] and [[Void]] are elemental manifestations of the [[Light]]. It is related to cold, and more precisely to the cessation of movement on a macroscopic and atomic level, slowing, detaining, and then shattering. In keeping with the Darkness' connection with thoughts and consciousness, it also embodies the concepts of will and control, and to wield and master it requires someone to exercise ultimate authority over both oneself and others, lest destruction run wild.<ref name = "Explain"/> It is first introduced in the expansion ''[[Beyond Light]]'' as the first of Darkness-based [[subclass]]es.

Stasis damage is rare among enemies. [[Ultra|Powerful]] [[Fallen]] of the [[House of Salvation]] can use Stasis abilities in the form of Duskfield and Coldsnap Grenades, ranged '''freezing''' Stasis Blasts, or waves of '''Stasis crystals'''. The only common ranged Stasis weapon is the [[Stasis Boomer]] wielded by some [[Taken]], while the only common melee weapon is the [[Stasis Censer]] used by [[Scorn]] [[Ravager]]s. That said, these attacks always have additional effects beyond their elemental damage, being capable of '''slowing''' and '''freezing''' the player. [[Subjugator]]s are able to use Stasis attack that '''slows''' and '''freezes''' targets
