All Warrior Ascendancies in Path of Exile 2 (Patch 0.2.0g)

Warriors in Path of Exile 2 have access to three powerful Ascendancies: Titan, Warbringer, and Smith of Kitava. Each specializes in a different fantasy archetype and mechanical focus, offering players a way to personalize their melee journey through Wraeclast.

This guide provides a high-level introduction to each Ascendancy and links to in-depth breakdowns for those looking to dig deeper. Whether you’re smashing enemies with overwhelming force, burning them with flaming weapons, or turning totems and warcries into lethal tools, there’s a Warrior Ascendancy for every style.


Titan: The Colossus of Slam and Endurance

Titan is the definitive choice for Slam builds and high-impact melee attacks. With bonuses like 50% more Armour from Body Armour, 15% more Maximum Life, and Aftershocks on Slam Skills, Titan is a tanky wrecking ball.

Titan thrives in:

  • Ground Slam and Earthquake builds
  • Heavy Stun mechanics
  • Passive tree scaling with Strength and Life

If you like surviving brutal boss hits and retaliating with seismic force, Titan is your go-to.

Warbringer: The Hybrid Strategist

Warbringer turns utility into power. With unique mechanics such as totem-based damage redirection, armor-breaking attacks, and warcry-triggered corpse explosions, it supports some of the most creative and tactical builds in the game.

Warbringer excels with:

  • Totem + Ancestral Spirit synergy
  • Warcry-based AOE nukes
  • Armor Break builds for boss melting

It’s the Ascendancy for players who love complexity and layered mechanics.

Smith of Kitava: The Molten Armory

Introduced in the Dawn of the Hunt expansion, Smith of Kitava offers fire-based offense, chaos mitigation, and weapon-enhancing skills. Many nodes directly empower Normal Body Armour, encouraging players to think outside traditional rare/unique gearing.

Smith of Kitava enables:

  • Fire-conversion melee builds (Boneshatter, Molten Strike)
  • Minion + Manifest Weapon synergies
  • Defensive boosts through armor and resistance stacking

It stands out with creative node interactions, including +75% Fire Resistance, Unleashing Fire Spells on Hit, and unique scaling via Temper Weapon and Manifest Weapon.
