Question Best way to consistently get transcend on titan?
Basically I recently just unlocked most of prismatic titan and my first build idea was to use stasis grenades and the strand melee and consecration and knockout ( I know not very original but I like consecration on solar titan and wanted to spam it) and my super is the arc one because I think it’s funny but my problem is no matter what I do I think it’s the light bar but one of the bars the red one is always almost full compared the the other one and I don’t understand how it works because sometimes the blue one gets energy from the consecration slam but most of the time it goes to the red one and I been tweaking it and I still don’t understand why I can’t get the blue one reliably or should I say obtainably reliably because I discovered because of knock out if I punch people to death I get a little blue guaranteed but I’m pretty sure blue is dark so why doesn’t the grenade or normal strand melee charge it and why does knockout charge it? Did I mix them up could someone please explain how this works or provide a build that I could look at so I could understand mine better because I wanna use transcendence as much as possible since I always wanted something that buffs your character but ain’t a super because I don’t like using supers that much but some are cool like the arc nuke.

Blue is Light. Orange is Dark.
Best way I find to fill the bars using the 'ol Consecration/Knockout build, is by throwing down my Stasis 'nade (preferably freezing some enemies) then using half a Consecration to instant Shatter the crystals. If the enemy that was frozen lives, finish my Consecration slam and cause an ignition. Frozen debuff gives Darkness energy, Initial wave of Consecration gives Light energy, Shatter damage gives Darkness energy, Ignition damage gives Light energy. If you get a kill when you slam or simply reduce an enemy's health to finishing range, you should proc Knockout which adds Arc damage to your melee as well as boosts your melee damage. I recommend Facet of Ruin to increase Shatter and Ignition damage/radius.
If the bars are still not full, use your weapons/Knockout melees to top off. If you were able to hit multiple enemies with the Shatter and Slam, you should be very close to full on both.
Kinetics also give energy to both bars. If you fill up one bar, it gives extra energy to the other side to finish topping it up.
You can also use DoT weapons like Area Denial Grenade Launchers, Thorn, Le Monarch, etc. to spread the damage and get faster gains on a specific side.

Thanks a lot now that you said which is which it makes wayyyy more sense idk why I assumed blue was evil I was thinking like blue is like stasis and red was solar or something also do you know what other facets I should use other then the one you recommended because you do a similar thing to me so I was just wondering your opinion on which facets I should look into

I haven't used this build since it came out in The Final Shape. But if I made a build with it now I'd use:
Super: Bladefury | Melee: Frenzied Blade | Grenade: Glacier Grenade Aspects: Consecration + Knockout
Fragments:
- Facet of Protection for damage resistance when surrounded
- Facet of Purpose using the Strand super, it will give you 5 seconds of Woven Mail which is even more damage resistance
- Facet of Ruin to increase the radius of my Shatters and Ignitions
- Facet of Balance which returns melee energy when getting multikills with Light energy abilities/weapons and grenade energy when getting multikills with Dark energy abilities/weapons.
Weapons: Not too important. But I'd use Monte Carlo for my exotic, or any weapons with Pugilist/Swashbuckler. Along with any weapons to help with Champions you might have problems with like Barriers. (Shatter for Overload, Ignitions for Unstoppable, Prismatic grenade for Unstoppable + Overload)
Armor: Since Consecration no longer scales with melee damage, I'd use Heart of Inmost Light. If you have access to Exotic Class items, anything with Spirit of Inmost Light. My preference is Spirit of Inmost Light + Spirit of Contact to add Jolt to your Consecrations. You can still, of course, use melee damage boosting exotics like Synthoceps/Spirit of Synthoceps or Wormgod's Caress to boost your Knockout damage. But it won't do anything for Consecration.
Artifact: However you like it. But Shieldcrush is a must.
Armor Mods: Since the goal is to spam Consecration, I'd do whatever I could to run 3x Heavy Handed mods on my arms to make sure I can spam orbs with my Ignitions/Knockout kills.
- Helm: 1x Hands-on, Siphon mods of your choice
- Legs: 1x Invigoration, 1x Innervation, 1x Absolution/Better Already
- Class Item: 1x Distribution, 1x Reaper

Use the following:
Monte Carlo exotic auto rifle. Kills have a chance to refund melee charges. A good way to spam consecration.
The following fragments: Grace. This one gives you transcendence like no tomorrow with kinetic weapons and fills both bars.
Devotion. If you’re noticing that the blue one isn’t filling up as fast, this will help speed it up. Your darkness kills will give you light progress. If the blue one is fine, and you’re struggling with the orange one, then use sacrifice instead.
You can use whatever else you want, but those 3 should help you get transcendent faster / more reliably

Use the strand or stasis area grenade launcher. Hit a group of 3 adds with one shot -> Profit
