Stasis: Difference between revisions

'''Stasis''' is an elemental manifestation of the [[Darkness]] alongside [[Strand]]. It is related to cold and the concept of the reduction of entropy, and more precisely to the ending 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.

[[Behemoth]] [[Titan (class)|Titans]] can use Stasis to summon a Stasis gauntlet that can be slammed into the ground to create a large area of freezing Stasis crystals known as '''[[Glacial Quake]]'''.

[[Revenant (subclass)|Revenant]] [[Hunter]]s use Stasis to summon two Stasis kamas thrown in quick succession, known as '''[[Silence and Squall]]'''. Silence creates a small area of freezing, and Squall creates a roaming Stasis storm that slows and damages enemies caught inside.

[[Shadebinder]] [[Warlock]]s can manifest a staff out of Stasis to send out barrages of freezing Stasis shards and create shockwaves that shatter all frozen targets. This [[Super]] is known as '''[[Winter's Wrath]]'''.

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. The [[The Dread|Dread]]'s Omen [[Subjugator]]s and [[Attendant]] [[Psion]]s are able to use a variety of Stasis attacks. That said, all Stasis attacks usually have additional effects beyond their elemental damage, being capable of '''slowing''' and '''freezing''' the player.
