Nerfing strongholds isn't necessary at this point
What an odd choice to make everyone strong again, allowing people to choose through multiple metas with different artifacts, increasing damage across the board and leaving the most broken builds for other classes untouched, and decide that titans using two exotic slots to block damage better is the line that was too far. Warlocks can clear entire rooms with a single scatter grenade, but a titan blocking with a sword is too far??

1 ReplySeeing a stronghold user just constantly blocking while im getting all the kills and they are providing absolutely no help was annoying im glad its getting tuned down.

30 RepliesStrongholds Getaway artist Lucky pants with uncivil discourse All of these need nerfing. Otherwise you’ll be playing these same builds forever.

PB doubles as an offensive weapon while blocking. Strongholds isn't getting nerfed, PB is.

People don't need to be standing around doing nothing. If you were good enough at the game to be using the praxic blade with strongholds correctly, you'll find something else.

5 RepliesIt's so stupid that it's getting nerfed because people don't know how to use the exotic. It literally lets you block then do damage for free because you're invincible for a second or so. Not only that you could if you had the lightsaber equipped, just deflect damage back at the target.

Agreed.👍

The stronghold nerf makes me think there’s 2 factions of warring devs at Bungie

1 ReplyEdited by SmudgeOnTheLenz: 6/3/2026 8:57:12 PMThey only mentioned Strongholds because they were talking about the Praxic Blade. Otherwise they would not have mentioned it until Thursday with all other armor and ability changes. There are definitely more nerfs coming.

It's a braindead playstyle. It lasted so much longer than it ever should have.

1 ReplyScatter nade is being nerfed too

4 RepliesSadly there are too many Stronghold haters out there, who don't want anyone to be able to use it because they don't enjoy using it. And also a lot of people blame the existence of Stronghold for inexperienced Stronghold users doing nothing but afk blocking, despite the fact that that's entirely a skill issue, and not an issue with Stronghold.

Edited by A Succulent Chinese Meal: 6/2/2026 6:11:13 PMLast I read, Bungie didn’t say anything about potentially nerfing strongholds. If anything, they said they were removing strongholds effects for the praxic blade. In other words, no more infinite deflects.
