Theres a brand-new Stasis Field capability, which wants to come from a grenade. The Stasis Field is a giant winter storm taking in a location. Based on the trailer, targets inside the field appear to freeze over time, and possibly take damage. When enemies freeze, they appear totally not able to move. Harmful enemies with particular moves appears to “shatter” them, dealing extra damage and causing a surge in the area.
The Shadebinder Warlock wields a staff of ice and appears to have 2 main capabilities: a freeze attack and a shatter attack. (This is a common theme for Stasis.) We see the Warlock fire a bolt of ice at a group of Vex, and then utilize some type of burst ability to shatter them into 1,000 pieces.
At Gamescoms Opening Night Light, Bungie revealed another look at Stasis, the upcoming new powers in Destiny 2: Beyond Light. The brand-new trailer provided us an appearance at a few brand-new capabilities, along with the names for the brand-new subclasses. A current upgrade on Bungies site previews more of the brand-new features, and reveal dates for each Stasis subclass.
We also see the Warlock toss a Stasis Field throughout a Crucible match. The field slows the Hunter inside, the Warlock blasts them with their Super to freeze them immediately, and swaps to a sniper rifle. The sniper then appears to shatter the frozen Hunter in a single shot, despite the Warlock just going for the body.

In the B-roll for this Super (called Glacial Quake), the Titan runs around smashing the ground and freezing close-by enemies. The alternate attack sees the Titan punch a target with their frozen fist, shattering any enemies they hit.
We then see another Stasis Field grenade– this time from a Hunter– which arrive at a group of Crucible enemies. The enemies eliminate one of the Hunters allies, however they appear to freeze after standing in the Stasis Field for too long. The Hunter then uses their melee override glaive toss, bouncing it off a wall and into the opponents, shattering them both.
The Revenant Hunter appears to work extremely likewise to the Blade Barrage capability– as seen in some B-roll from Bungie, where the video game describes the Super as Silence and Squall. The Hunter jumps into the air with their two axes, hurls one and then the other into a crowd, and the group takes off into frozen portions of ice. In the trailer, the explosion appears to leave behind an ice tornado, which freezes a nearby Minotaur.

The rest of the trailer reveals some stylish moves, some of which weve seen before. We see the Hunter stabbing their ice axe into the ground, shattering nearby enemies, and Titans moving into frozen foes to shatter them. We also get a new appearance at a Warlock perk, which immediately freezes neighboring opponents when the Warlock casts their Rift.
With the Stasis powers coming explicitly from The Darkness, it appears theyre incapable of producing Light energy. Well likely discover more about this when Bungie introduces Beyond Light, and we discover how Guardians obtain these brand-new Darkness powers.
In among the final shots, we see a Titan freeze a group of Crucible opponents and then a Warlock diving in to shatter them. This verifies that Stasis capabilities play off of one another, providing players reward to run more than one at a time.
Bungie will even more reveal the subclasses over the next 2 weeks, with a new class every couple of days:
Theres a brand-new Stasis Field capability, which looks to come from a grenade. Well likely find out more about this when Bungie introduces Beyond Light, and we find out how Guardians get these brand-new Darkness powers.
