Titan | Combat Titanfall Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Calling the Titan in to the battlefield is the crowning achievement of how well you have been doing as a Pilot and the patience that you had to show, for the required time to have elapsed. All of that is in the past already - the possibilities of playing as the Titan are innumerable and it also is enjoyable. Below, several hints that will let you fill as if you are indestructible.

Important information (Titanfall, Core Abilities, Armor)

Now you can take a seat and start the bloodbath.

Titanfall - this is the option of calling the Titan into the battlefield. Apart from in the Last Titan Standing mode and using the Burn Cards it is not available since the beginning of the game. To call in your Titan, you need to wait for the countdown of its availability reaches zero. This countdown is in the bottom-right corner of the screen. To speed up the possibility of Titanfall, you need to Kill the enemies and destroy the enemy machines. The time can also be cut short, by using an appropriate card.

Core Abilities - These are abilities which, temporarily, add strength to your Titan. Just like in the case of Titanfall, you need to wait for a certain amount of time, brought to your attention by the icon in the bottom-right corner and a suitable message on your screen, once the countdown reaches zero. These are the available abilities, which depend on the type of the Titan:

Atlas-Damage Core - Increases damage that you deal.

Ogre-Shield Core - Increases the durability of the armor.

Stryder-Dash Core - Allows you to perform dodges for the whole time.

Shield this is the armor of your Titan, after being destroyed, some of its points become vulnerable to fire (they glow red), until it is recharged. The bar that informs you of the status of the shield is above the bar of the general durability of your mech. If the armor is damaged, you should dodge the shots fired at you, or use Vortex Shield, or search out a relatively safe spot.

Titan vs Minions

After you take your seat in the Titan's cockpit, you should not worry too much about the AI-controlled bots. You can easily destroy them and it is even easier to trample them. However, you should make sure that too many Spectres are not aiming at you, at the same time. After all, "nec Hercules contra plures".

Titan vs Pilot

As to the Titan the most potent danger to you are Pilots and the other Titans. Let us focus now on the former. The main weapons against you that the other Pilots are equipped with, are: rodeo, cloak, weapons against Titans and Arc Grenades.

Rodeo

If an enemy Pilot jumps onto the back of your Titan he will be able to deal a lot of damage to you, thanks to shooting at the mech's weak spot. The best way to get him off your back is to use Electric Smoke, which will give him an electric shock and make him dismount your machine. Because most players prefer Vortex Shield, most probably, your only hope are either the other Pilots or you yourself. In such a case, you will have to leave the cockpit of your Titan for a moment and shoot the enemy on your own.

Cloak

The players that use the cloak, become almost completely invisible to you, thanks to which the will, most probably, be trying to get you from behind to attempt rodeo. Sometimes however, the more incautious players use cloak only after you have already noticed them, in order to flee the hot spot. Try then you fire at the position in which you have last seen the enemy and, optionally, the direction in which he moved. There are chances that some of your shots will reach their target. What is good for such situations is the Rocket Salvo.

Anti-Titan Weapon

While your armor is weakened and your weak spots are exposed to fire, you become especially vulnerable to the players who use the Sidewinder. Die to the high rate of fire of this weapon, try to perform dodges and hide behind the Vortex Shield, until your armor regenerates. The other Pilots, who use the Archer Heavy Rocket will always need to lock on you before they fire, which you will be notified of with a suitable message (the Pilot locked message at the bottom of the screen). Thanks to this, you should have sufficiently much time to block the incoming projectile or dodge from it.

Arc Grenades

These grenades are the type of weapon that does not deal considerable damage to your mech, but it will deprive you of your vision and you will not be able to use your abilities, which is why it is better to avoid them, because they make you almost armless for a short period of time.

The most difficult and the most demanding are the fights against the other Titans. Thanks to the powerful weaponry, it is them that can destroy you the fastest. What may prove the key here is using dodges, the shield and melee attacks. You should also remember that you cannot let two Titans flank you at both sides - you can be sure than that they will deal with you faster than Pudzian did with Najman.

Dodges

Performing a dodge will often save you from an enemy salvo. To perform a dodge, you need to press the dodge key and the jump key (by default, it is [SPACE]) and point to a direction. Thanks to this, your Titan will "slide" quickly in the direction that you have chosen and the rockets, and projectiles will whizz by. You need to remember that you cannot perform dodges for the whole time: depending on the selected model (Chassis) there is a limited number of them that you can perform (for the Titan-Atlas it is 2 dodges). Fortunately, they regenerate quite quickly but, always try to start the battle with the full number at your disposal.

Vortex Shield

The correct use of the shield is a key to survival in the battlefield for longer than several moments. The shield allows you to stop projectiles and rockets aimed at you, and send them back towards the enemy afterwards. You need to remember that you cannot use the shield endlessly - as soon as its usability ends, it will turn orange. Use that to your advantage - make the enemy to be the first to use his shield and fire your artillery at him, when it turns orange - activate yours! Thanks to this, you will be able to catch the projectiles fired at you and your enemy will be without his shield, which will not end well for him.

Melee attacks

An important element, which often allows you to win a battle with the enemy Titan is the melee attack. It is important that you cannot block it with the Vortex Shield, thanks, to which, if dealt at the right moment and out of surprise, it will make the opponent lose some of his points. To land such an attack quickly, approach the enemy with Dash, and land a quick blow ([C]). This option is also excellent for the elimination - if the enemy Titan is destroyed and is Doomed a good way to put it out of the misery and eliminate danger, is to use melee attack, which will rip the enemy Pilot off the cockpit. Thanks to this, the enemy machine will be immediately destroyed and the Pilot will be deprived of the option to Eject.

Additionally, you should also remember that the Titan just like the Pilot, may lock on you with its weaponry (e.g. the Slaved Warheads). Just like in the case of the Pilot, you will be notified of that, which will buy you several seconds to react.
