The new damage mitigation concept introduced in Destiny 2 is called Frost Armor. It utilizes Stasis shards to provide damage resistance to players. By collecting Stasis shards, players can gain increased resilience and take reduced damage from enemies.
Two new Stasis fragments were introduced in Destiny 2's Season of the Splicer. These fragments can be purchased from Elsie Bray on Europa and are not automatically added to your inventory3. Here are their specific functions:
Whisper of Chill – Stasis weapon kills have the chance to spawn a Stasis shard. This fragment directly addresses requests for buffing shard generation, making it easier with a Stasis weapon, which is likely already part of your Stasis build. It is the only fragment capable of generating Stasis shards by itself.
Whisper of Reversal – While you have Frost Armor, melee damage slows your target. This fragment is more niche but can freeze enemies through repeated punching. There are also other fragments or aspects that utilize slow as a proc for various effects.
These new fragments aim to enhance the customization and effectiveness of your Stasis subclass, providing players with more tools to utilize in their builds.
Players can purchase the new Stasis fragments in Destiny 2 from Elsie Bray, also known as the Exo Stranger6. She is located in the south of Europa. It is important to note that players need to buy these fragments for each class they have, as they will not be automatically added to their inventory.
