What's the revision about?
In Destiny 2: Beyond Light a new element was introduced to the game: Stasis. Unlike the other three elements, which are manifestations of the Light, Stasis is a manifestation of Darkness and it's the opposite of Solar.
Solar Light focuses on controlling bosons and the emission of energy. Its properties result in the increase of entropy in a system.
Stasis does the opposite. It takes away energy and as a result reduces the entropy in a system. (Though this oversimplifies things.)
On the surface Stasis merely creates crystalline structures and freezes things. This would seem like heat and ice manipulation, but it’s explicitly not ice.
I believe that Stasis creates perfect crystals. LettuceDifferent5104 explains this well in two reddit posts. Since they do not provide links for all of the lore pieces, I will do so in this revision.
Where are the scans?
Stasis isn’t ice.
Negentropy is an attribute of the Darkness. (These describe the Sword Logic and the Bomb Logic. The Sword Logic is a power of Darkness. These are just two examples to back up Lettuce's claims.)
Clarity defies Noether’s Theorem. (Clovis Bray’s analysis can be trusted as he’s the most / second most intelligent human in the setting.)
Clarity is not always symmetrical. It violates time reversibility.
Why do we exist? How did that original low-entropy state come to be?
Any other evidence?
Extra evidence:
- Stasis can flash freeze nearly anything. Frozen things can easily be shattered into countless pieces, even by just sliding into them.
- The shattering of combatants is referred to as disintegration.
- Even individual particles can be shattered.
- And again, it’s not ice.
So what's being changed?
* So Stasis users get Quantum Manipulation, Energy Manipulation and Absolute Zero. They would also get Power Nullification as Stasis can shut off movement abilities.
“Slow will shut off combatants’ movement abilities and slow their movement.” - Update notes
* The only page that gets stasis abilities currently is the Warlock.
* This also means characters get a new resistance. Every in-game combatant can break out of and survive being frozen by Stasis if they’re left alone. Bosses can’t be frozen in their entirety and they can’t be shattered. And some characters are just completely immune to Stasis.
As such everyone gets a Resistance to Absolute Zero. If people think it should only be a Limited Resistance for non-bosses and non-immune characters that’s fine too. Bosses and immune characters get a full resistance for sure.
* The Warlock needs a “Stasis Subclasses” key. They also have some extra abilities besides the core powers of Stasis.
“Unleash a powerful shockwave that shatters nearby frozen targets.”
- Vibration Manipulation
“A grenade that freezes on impact and sends another seeker to find and freeze targets.”
“Shattering a frozen target spawns seekers that track and freeze other nearby targets.”
- Homing Attack
TL;DR?
In conclusion:
- The core abilities of Stasis are Quantum Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Absolute Zero and Power Nullification.
- Warlock gets a “Stasis Subclasses” key with the following abilities: Quantum Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Absolute Zero, Power Nullification, Vibration Manipulation and Homing attack.
- Everyone gets Resistance/Limited Resistance to Absolute Zero.
- Bosses and characters with immunity get a full/better Resistance to Absolute Zero.
