As you said, it's personal preference. In reality, any Titan can be S tier when you master them. A well piloted Northstar is an absolutely terrifying menace.
@@ninjainpyjama8119as a Scorch main i have to fisagree with you because i usually Decimate entire Teams witz my Titan tho i also have to admit if your unlucky or fuck up shit is gonna go south wich is why you gotta play smart with Scorch
As a scorch main, I gotta say - inferno shield is a must have. You have no time for mid range fights where you stand and aim, you always move to the enemy and apply pressure. As long as they have time to gather their mind, you're losing the fight
Also re:Scorch, the gas traps are meant for locking down chokepoints and cutting off retreats. Simply place one behind the Titan you're about to fight, charge them with inferno shield, and watch their health bar melt
@@Chazinthius you do though; standing in the fire does nothing to stop Northstar from sniping you, another scorch from roasting you, or frankly any other titan from using any of their numerous ranged attacks to put you down. Plus, inferno shield isn't just a stronger shield - honestly I use it offensively way more often than I use it to block shots because it absolutely melts enemy titans
@@luke_of_astora I know. But I can melt faces anyway. Can you stand in your own flames? You still have critical points and can’t stand in your own flames without repercussions.
As an Ion main, I can tell your not too familiar with it. Zero-point trip wire is arguably the best ability. It allows you to use your energy to block with your Magnetic Shield while still damaging rushing titans such as Ronin with spamming trip wires. Really the magnetic shield just shreds titans like Ronin, Monarch, and especially Legion. I will say if you aren't going Zero-Point Trip Wire, then the Refactor Lenses is decent. Just depends how you want to use your energy. Ion might be the easiest titan to play, but by far the hardest to master with your resource management and timing with your shield blocks.
I use the thing that makes your vortex shield better. I can master my energy pretty good so just going up against a monarch and watching them run away as i shred them is hilarious. I also notcied the execution is the same thing Slone did to BT so it is pretty funny executing him
The thing with is that an experienced player can counter them so easily. With the trips on ronin you can just phase pass or hell on other titans just disengage and look for a better fight later. Her laser shot is generally a good ability that I think in the hands of good ion mains can be devastating. Her vortex shield absolutely destroys newer players and as you said especially Ronins legions. However as someone who's maind both legion and Ronin extensively, a legion can simply just not shoot and try to wait out some of the cool down before popping sheild and spray during the last half since with good timing most bullets fired back will be eaten by the shield leaving an ion mostly defenseless, with ronin its a simple as closing the gap as his sword deals damage through vortex. I do think ion is a great character who is of course effective in a good players hands. A good ion will be able to out play a ronin trying to close gap or even a legion trying to bait out vortex shield timings. Which I think is a great thing it's this level of depth to titans where knowing how every abilities work and where your titan lacks creates an environment where newer players still enjoy the wailing on things with a giant robot and can even find success and the experienced players can create this game of cat and mouse trying to widdle down the other. It's what makes titanfall so great for me you have this marriage of fast paced moment to moment gameplay of a pilot where quick reactions and good movement are required for survival while titans are this game of either destroy every small thing in your path or a game of equals trying to bring down this giant death mech. Just really impressive respawn was able to make both work so perfectly.
@@Oceanic620 That’s if an enemy runs into it. I almost NEVER run into one. I see it and shoot 2 bullets at it and it’s gone. You say controversial to who you? Remember this is my personal list:) I’ve been playing this game since the Beta
this tierlist really shows you how playstyle affects preferences. He plays ion aggressively, and plays scorch at long range for axample and you can see that in his preferences
this is possibly the best take I've seen in the comments, i play ronin a lot you can tell he like to play ronin as fast as possible, with little to no regard for his own life rushing in and spamming things as much as possible. you can also tell in his description of the titan he's played against some really good ronins but hasn't actuality learned to get good at ronin himself, like how hes calling sword block op when he only uses it when cornered and his ability on cooldown. ive sunk way more time than id like to admit into ronin and i still have more to learn but id say the first step is to slow down a lot and learn to weave together dodges and combos.
An amazing point, this just shows how our preferences are vastly different, or similar. As well as showing what kind of play style he uses, it can help us understand his POV before judging
I agree, however I think he just straight up does not know what the heck he's doing with scorch. He constantly was backing away down long hallways, actively putting himself at an incredible disadvantage. Scorch is a close range titan that can shred through enemies with flame shield. I'd even argue it's the best defensive in the game. Also, because he thinks he's a sniper, he gets no value out of the mid to close range flame traps that have the ability to put enemies in near hopeless positions. He's all about close quarters and area control, something this guy does not quite grasp. Also flame core does an incredible amount of damage and can kill titans with 2 bars of health left including doomsday. I hate to hate, but this placement seems like a skill issue. As a scorch main, I can get top three pretty often.
Also he's running wildfire launcher which is one of the worst kits. The nade is for igniting traps and taking out pilots, and the damage and duration buff of inferno shield is a must have.
Semi-auto refers to the action of a weapon, not the capacity. There are some semi-automatic singleshot rifles that exist IRL. That being said, we don't know exactly what kind of action the thermite launcher uses unless it's written in an art book somewhere.
@@DPRK_Best_Korea the thermite launcher would be a breach loading single shot. Semi auto specifically refers to the capability to automatically loading a new cartridge using the energy of the previously fired round to cycle the weapon. Tone has a semi auto weapon. North start had a semi auto weapon.
As a Northstar main her health isn't an issue if we put in the practice and know how to use to her. The best way to play Northstar is to stay away from everyone and keep moving while looking for opportunities to deal damage. Since you're normally away at the other end of the map heath isn't too big of an issue unless you get cornered. You should also make sure to have other titans with you to support you if needed.
@@Somerandofurry If you're crouching with gun shield people are just going to run away, and you're slower than a snail in molasses in that state so you can't chase them. Hidden Compartment is the best kit since it's a straight up damage increase when you use them both and the cooldown time isn't increased for each individual shot. You will get more damage out of two power shots than you will out of 20 extra rounds in long range mode.
As a Northstar main her cluster missile has to be the best anti pilot in the game. Not only can you shoot it at a pilot trying to hide in a building, but if you run out electric smoke are being rodeoed just shoot it at the nearest wall and turn around.
I hate to say this but technically its ronin if you know what you're doing you can phase b4 they take your battery turn around melee and it does no damage and free bat and core
@@Idontgiveafinnuck technically phase shift is a defensive ability, since its primarily used to evade other titans, also it dosent kill the pilot instantly, and you can survive it if you dont hop off.
@@sternwardbossfunctionally, it doesn’t work as a tripwire but more as a pilot killing proximity mine. It has a huge vertical activation and blast radius.
I think you should try using the electric smoke a bit more and as an offensive ability at that. The stronger smoke upgrade for Monarch can be devastating, especially if you run the Titan kit that gives you more smoke charges. Smoke is also amazing for Ronin, as smoke bombing your enemies can help you confuse them, damage them and outmaneuver them even more!
@@sternwardbossi concur, the amount of rushing Ronins I’ve wrecked using one then backing up and using another while still shooting. They rush thru and by the time they get out of the second one they’re doomed and already in your face for the battery steal
@@sternwardboss maelstrom is the best 2nd upgrade monarch kit because what u can do is run up to a titan or come behind a titan pop maelstrom stun them so they sit in it longer while shooting them and easy bat.
Personally, they’re all S tiers to me. Each Titan offers me soemthing different and I enjoy playing them all. Ion is a cool, balanced option. Scorch can push hard and back up it’s pushes with force. North Star is deadly when used carefully (I personally like using the extra dash ability to get out of bad situations). Ronin is a fun skirmisher, its nice to get in and out of fights, dealing loads of up close damage. Tone is probably my second favorite, cause pinging like 4 back to back missile salvos is so much fun. Legion is always useful, and does scary damage. And finally, my all time favorite, monarch. It just feels like the ultimate Titan, like I can’t be beat when I’m using it. All in all, they’re all wonderful
I am a Titanfall 2 veteran, I have been playing since 2017 and each of my Titans are at least generation 4. Here some corrections I feel I should point out. Someone's already said this but Ion's tripwire is very good. High damage and the blast radius on this thing is actually fucking ginormous, I am continually shocked at how high up it will kill wall-running pilots. There are only two viable Scorch kits: Inferno Shield and Tempered Plating. Yeah the extra damage Wildfire Launcher gives is nice when you hit your shots but the two aforementioned kits are just so important you're actively screwing yourself by not taking one of them. You NEED the extra duration on Thermal Shield or be able to play more aggressive by going into your own fire. Also fun fact, a full Inferno Shield will kill a Legion from full HP, so if you get close enough to him he's just fucked. Northstar's Hover actively screws you over a lot of the time. Exposing yourself like that while having the lowest HP in the game is very bad, Flight Core is much in the same boat. The Nuke Eject + Tether Trap combo is funny, but is extremely situational because you want to be as far away from enemies as possible so it's kind of counterintuitive. Also Threat Optics is useless because you don't have trouble seeing everyone anyway because all the maps are very well lit and it doesn't expose cloaked pilots iirc. The only two kits you're running most of the time on Ronin are Thunderstorm and Temporal Anomaly. Highlander is useless because you can't afford to be an aggressive frontline with Ronin when his health is that low. Trading damage one for one while playing him is a VERY bad idea, which I can attest to from years of Ronin maining. The duration extend very rarely kicks in, let alone actually makes an impact. Phase Reflex is fine but missing out on two Arc Waves AND more Phase Dashes really hurts. Salvo Core is arguably the best in the game. Yeah it can be inconsistent at times but being able to guide them behind cover and past defensive capabilities is something no other core can do. Pulse Echo is very underrated because you can fire it and get a lock much easier behind an evasive Titan hiding behind cover that you can't hit too easily to fire your rockets. Rocket Barrage is useless in comparison to that. Legion's Gun Shield sounds good on paper until you realize that he's not actually fully covered. His foot and shoulder remain exposed so he can still be damaged by things like Laser Shot, Plasma Railgun, and 40mm Tracker Cannon splash damage. Not the worst defense but there's way better. Light-Weight Alloys is actually his worst kit, the movement speed doesn't get improved by jack shit in all honesty and the others are just really good. Hidden Compartment is by far the best imo because you get two Power Shots for a straight up damage increase. It doesn't increase rate of fire like you said, but instead is either a shotgun blast or a mini Plasma Railgun blast only for the cost of one/two bullets. Monarch's missiles are meh. They go all over the fucking place and can be really inconsistent with their accuracy, being basically useless past midrange. Energy Transfer is dogshit because if you choose to give allies shield you give up the only semblance of self defense you have to give someone a shield that's only 10% of maximum shield capacity. Energy Field is also useless because if you hit more than one enemy you don't get shields for every one of them. You absolutely need to use Superior Chassis because it gives you 15,000 HP, which is the highest in the game. Even more than Legion and Scorch who have 12,500 HP. Shield Amplifier is again, useless because the shield you already get is so low the improvement means literally nothing. If you read all of this you're a real one. You're clearly new to the game but it's always nice to see new players and I just wanna help out as much as I can so they can have as much fun as I do.
As someone who has also played the game since like 2016, I absolutely second this, I’ve played a long time with every titan, weapon, pilot and lethal, my main is Northstar. The ion part for the kit advice, the kit that increases his vortex damage output is good until you start playing against smarter players who know how to counter it, but the free tripwire is the best, with the energy return on crits coming in after it, especially if you want more laser shots. The advice for Scorch id absolutely spot on as well, those are the only two I use after trial and error with the rest, though on rare occasions when I find myself against more pilots than titans, I give it the enhanced auto titan kit and wildfire launcher or tempered plating, because scorch auto-aim is amazing, but he often walks into his own fire. Scorched earth is mostly useless because the fire extinguishes about as fast as his launchers thermite, which is pretty fast. Fuel for the fire isn’t all that great because firewall honestly plays the small part in terms of damage, I primarily use it to ignite the gas traps behind the enemy at the start of the fight, my shield and launcher do the rest. As this method brings consistent results, it does pretty much go back to what he said, inferno shield, or tempered plating. Over core is typically the best kit 1 for him, because he already builds his core pretty fast, counter ready makes life more difficult for you if you use it at the wrong time, because electric smoke puts out thermite. Nuclear ejection isn’t that great outside of frontier defense, because any player with some experience can’t away nearly every time, although the fact that they have to move away may safe you when you eject, it’s not worth it’s not worth the loss of an extra 20% on your core. This goes for every titan. Also, as much as I love Northstar, she is a liability during hover and core without viper thrusters. The enhanced payload can be better against pilots since it had a larger area, but it makes the damage less focused against titans, so you need to take that into account. With twin traps, both will catch as close to the same time, and both will break at about the same time too, not too useful, except for in frontier defense, once you get the exploding traps upgrade. Be careful, the exploding tether traps WILL kill you as a pilot. I learned that the hard way. Piercing shot Is incredibly situational, so you will get less use out of it. Threat optics can see through electric smoke, so it can pair well with the extra smoke kit, but honestly, still not that great, you want as much speed as possible with the Strider titans (ronin and northstar) which is why with both of them I always use turbo engine to get three dashes. To quickly switch positions and get away from titans that pushing forward use viper thrusters and turbo engine. If you are aiming down sights as you start hovering, you will move slower until you stop aiming, so wait to charge your railgun until right after you press the button, and you will move at about sprint speed while being able to aim. It seems that if you used dash and then hover immediately after, you move even faster. With ronin, all of what he daid is also correct, NEVER use highlander, outside of frontier defense that is. If you are in frontier defense, once you get all of the upgrades, you can stay in sword core without dying just about the entire wave, if you are careful of nuke titans. Ricochet rounds is also incredibly useless, the travel range and damage isn’t even reset after bounce, never use this one either. Phase reflex can be good, but it doesn’t save you from getting crushed by titan falls or reapers spawning, while stealth auto eject does. Be wary of stealth auto eject because your jump jets are very visible and you are east to shoot still without the low profile pilot kit equipped, and pilots can usually still see you pretty well while cloaked. Temporal anomaly is good, but i find thunderstorm to be the most effective because i can stun enemies i catch off guard, so they turn slower while i shoot them, then stun them again and phase behind them, then shoot them more. One mistake i see many ronin make that makes them lose is they keep spamming the sword after the shotgun is empty. The shotgun does WAY more damage, much faster, never do that. The only exception is if another ronin refuses to lower sword block, because it doesn’t not reduce melee damage from any titan. Also, sword block does reduce damage from everything else, including scorched thermite, electric smoke, and nuclear ejections. It doesn’t work against sword core swings, because that’s still melee. It reduces all non melee damage by 75%, so with full health you absolutely will survive nuclear ejections if for some reason you can’t get away. Also if you are phasing, you should almost always hold up sword block, because if you unexpectedly phase out into an enemy titan, you will instantly die other wise. It is extremely important to learn when to use ronin’s sword block. With tone, to be honest i slightly disagree with him here. All of his kits can be good, but burst loader and enhanced shield are at the bottom because some Titans can counter it quickly and you can walk through it still. With burst loader the regular speed of firing one shot at a time is reduced. Pulse echo IS really good for the reason he said, but I feel that rocket barrage is at least close, because with it your tracking rockets can fully takeout a doomed titan, and just do more damage in general, this is important, since the rockets are toned only real source of damage. However, when dealing with groups of titans pulse echo is absolutely the best kit for tone, since it adds to the lock on for all within range. One more, very important tip for tone i learned, any Titans hit by the splash damage of tones gun still get the lock on. Using this, ive still locked onto tone behind shields, ions using vortex shields, and scorches using theirs, just aim at their feet or at the ground or wall closest to them, and you will still get the lock, even without pulse. Every he said about legion, plus this, yes his shield can definitely be shot around.
I was fighting a legion as ion just the other day and he thought his gun shield would save him from all of the bullets i was catching from him, until i took off over an entire health bar by aiming his bullets back at his feet. However, you can somewhat move his shield with your gun to block damage from some sources. I was able to block a decent amount of damage from a flight core this way. That’s all I really have to add. By the way, legion is the absolute worst auto titan for fighting pilots, (just a reminder, scorch and ronin are best at that). Monarch survival of the fittest sounds good, but unless you have a team of pilots bringing you batteries, it’s not much help. However, if you decide to use battery back up for your pilot boost, you can grt out of your titan and use your boost as soon as possible, then get back in before you touch the ground. This is faster if you are using phase embark. Shield amplifier is stupid, it adds almost nothing. Rapid rearm is good for stunning and getting shield more often, but energy thief is just about always better because you earn every core faster, and get that battery on executions. But DO NOT chase a titan for a battery for too long. I see so many titans, especially monarch, lose way more health than they would’ve gained and even lose the fight when i was doomed because i was able to keep distance and damage them. Arc round is always the best option, because is takes away scorched thermal shield faster, ions shield, and to my understanding, also drains ions energy that all of it’s abilities use when you hit them. It also increases ammo capacity, which is important. Maelstrom is great against rodeoing pilots, and does way better damage against titans, which is great against aggressive ronins, scorches burning you with their shield, or any titan trying real hard to execute you. Rearm and reload is generally a better choice here though. Both missile upgrades suck because regular ones can be dodged fairly easily by titans, and you can do more consistent damage against titans with your gun. Don’t even use the missiles unless they are extremely low health and your gun is empty, or you are trying to get a pilot. The lockon missiles be avoided by using cover or vortex, thermal, or particle shields, and it tells them when you are locking on, plus you cant shoot your gun until you fire them. Remember these are not the rockets from BT’s titan, they won’t lock onto pilots, grunts, or spectres. Just use the accelerator upgrade for your gun, or the heath upgrade, like he said, your make health become higher than every other titans. While it does give you some extra health it will not take you out of doomed state, though it will refill your doomed health and shield.
Oh yeah, and with scorch you should just about always aim at a titans feet, it will cause the thermite to hit them more if they are moving forward or standing still.
Legion's dual power shot absolutely MELTS enemies. You are 100% underrating how powerful the powershot is. I've killed full health titans while I'm in doomed state because I used the dual powershot.
The powershots were awesome b4 the nerf now meh. I use light alloy much more offensive and much better I used to use bulwark but legions shield is useless you can shoot his shoulders and it bypasses the shield.
@@sternwardboss yeah it's always been super clutch for me, like if I'm going down I can always take some juicy HP with me. just be careful with Ions cuz they can reflect it all right back at you
@@Idontgiveafinnuck It got nerfed???? Must've been absolutely insane. I still think it's pretty good, especially as an opener to a fight-as long as it isn't an ion reflecting it, that's my only gripe about the build.
As a tone main imo the reinforced particle wall is her best kit. The wall gives you more time to hit titans for lock on’s without relying on critical hits for those additional lock on’s. Her salvo core is her main damage dealer and when used in conjunction with her lock on rockets can kill a full health ronin when used correctly. Btw tone is a girl. Other than that nice tier list! It’s nice to see fresh opinions on a newly revived game!
I’ll give it another try! and I know Tone’s a girl I’ve just always referred to all of them as men. Changing my ways though to get less heat in future videos lol
I have to disagree with that the 2 extra rockets are the best do to the fact that when you lock onto a titan you can arch your rockets in a way so for example someone is behind a building and there's an opening on the right then look to the right and fire your rockets and and they'll curve thats why they lock on. Another thing you did mention is with her core they are guided missiles so where you're aiming is where they going so look up in the sky use core and look at an enemy and they follow that.
@@Idontgiveafinnuck2 more rockets are good, but the particle wall kit buffs her shield so much it's broken. In competitive play especially, it's better to use because surviving damage is more important than dealing it if you wanna get as much value from your titan life.
Scorch main here, if you’re brave enough to main scorch, I highly recommend using the inferno shield kit. Since you mobility is so low you absolutely need the extended time and damage. Plus if you are playing him on one his better maps such as complex or boom town, you can get in close to your enemies and absolutely destroy them with your shield. If executed correctly, a scorch can completed kill a full health legion if he keeps his upgraded inferno shield in their face long enough. Tempered plating is good too, but it’s not worth using most of the time because the inferno shield is so powerful. Lastly, using the faster dash + inferno shield upgraded kit is what I’d recommend for scorch, because the upgraded inferno shield is a must, and can charge your flame core almost instantly if you get close enough.
As a G100 Scorch main I consider other Scorches without tempered plating "free lunch". Two gas traps plus the thermal shield do way more damage than just the upgraded inferno shield. Tempered plating also lets you be more aggressive by being able to push through your own flames.
@@spitfire3975Not having a critical location is also a massive benefit. I play a lot of Ion and Northstar, missing out on that bonus damage makes Scorch and Monarchs that run their armor upgrades way more difficult to kill
3 things. 1:Tone is extremely powerful on PC because you can lock on with your salvo core and then flick the missiles over a building, meaning you have cover but the enemy titan is about to get hit by a hailstorm. Also he can basically aimbot pilots with the tracker cannon. 2: Legion’s power shot ability is actually incredible, what it really is is a sniper/shotgun depending on the mode, and it does insane damage if the damage hits. It also is amazing for blasting pilots and only consumes 1 ammunition. 3: Monarch’s Maelstrom ability can actually be insane if you run the Counter Ready Titan kit, because you can drop like 3 smokes at the same time, and they will all stack damage and be boosted by Maelstrom, it’s and incredible close range health melter.
I want to correct you a little bit about tone and legion. Salvo rockets are flying wherever your crosshair is pointed at, so you can just shoot all your salvo rosckets in the air by looking up and than put your crosshair down on enemy titan. In most cases all your rockets will hit and completely anihilate the enemy titan. And legions powershot does not increases the rate of fire but shoots 1 very powerfull shot. In long range mode it`s kinda like plasma rail gun and in close range it fires more like a shotgun and both are dealing huge burst dmg
@@celestialcolosseum meet legion says absolutely nothing about increasing rate of fire. But even if it is indeed increases in the description it is much easier to understand like a single projectile or a single shotgun shot (am pretty sure it actually is for the engine of the game). I have never read the descriptions of his abilities but i can see clearly with my eyes that when i press q predator cannon stops firing, deals huge dmg in a second(if powershot increases fire rate would be more logical to do this dmg overtime), and then keeps firing normally. Also you can actually see projectile that you fire with powershot in long range mode
@@celestialcolosseumThat's not what it does, but honestly Legions gun physically makes no sense at all so it's gonna be very confusing. The close range mode power shot charges up for a brief moment before shooting a shotgun blast of bullets all at the same time, pushing titans backwards and doing a burst of damage instantly. Long range mode power shot charges up for brief moment before shooting a single high damage bullet, similar to Northstars gun but that's a projectile and Legions is a hit scan.
I will also say as a legion man that the power shot does not only speed up the rotation by a slight bit it's firing a group of bullets at once and it only costs a couple of bullets in your clip and it does a good amount of damage especially if you hit a weak point. Now if legion could have all his kits just like in frontier defense he would be unstoppable unless you had the whole squad of enemy Titans on him
Ion's zero point tripwire is extremely good. My advice as an Ion main is use it always in close range. I recommend equipping the titan kit that gives two electric smoke charges. I find the most success by roaming until you see a titan, laser shot and regular fire splitter rifle while approaching it, remember to use vortex shield and return fire, then electric smoke when extremely close range and tripwire, backtrack to close-mid range while using laser shot, tripwire, regular splitter rifle fire, and the titan should be dead or doomed. Remember to hit critical hits and to use your dash wisely, especially when in close range to leave space for tripwire and laser shot. The second electric smoke charge is useful for escape from close range back to mid range, where Ion excels. This is just my personal playstyle, I recommend experimenting with her until you find what works best for you.
Northstar is S tier hands down. Keep enemies at range with effective evasive options and keep them in place with tethers, kill pilots with cluster missile, and destroy titan healthbars with charged attacks and critical hits. Some close range maps are more difficult for northstar, but on the whole she is one of the most oppresive titans that only needs simple aiming and situational awareness to make a massive threat on the field.
Even then it’s not to difficult to play her at close range if you know what you’re doing. If you know how to play any of the titans well, then you can fit them into places you’d think they wouldn’t be good in. Excluding scorch at long range of course.
Saying she's on the same tier as Monarch is wild lmao. She's not abke to handle herseld in every situation like Monarch which makes the latter S tier, Northstar's worst nightmare is a Ronin/Legion who know what they're doing and Tone literally just existing. Not having any way to block damage outright and the lowest HP in the game doesn't help either.
Gotta enjoy seeing my Trusty Ronin on the S tier. Another cool fact in case no one has mentioned is if you get rodeo and time the phase dash you can get an extra battery from the enemy pilot, you basically take no damage from that rodeo. Also, Ion can be OP in the right hands it can be aggressive
As a northstar main and someone who has played and regenerated all of the titans at least once, on paper, yeah this tier list is accurate but in game it isn’t really. Ronin’s sword block doesn’t deflect that much damage and you will still be shredded by a legion even while using it so it’s not really something to rely on. Ronin is a hit and run titan but that’s not to say his sword block is useless because it does still reduce damage. And if you master northstar, her heath doesn’t matter because you will know how to play her effectively however this kinda applies to all the titans. Best advice is to just play the titans and get better. Unhelpful I know but when the titans have unique skills and a lot at that along with various play styles, that’s the only good way to master them in my opinion
Tip from a scorch main: the trap is incredibly useful in sectioning off the map. See a ronin dashing past you? Trap off flanking routes. Outnumbered and need to fall back? Or are enemies pushing too hard? Place a trap in front of you. Just generally really good at preventing enemies from being where you don’t want them to be, and coaxing them out of position. Hope this helps use the full map control suite scorch has to offer! :) Happy hunting!
7:30 I personally love tempered plating mostly because you can get up in titans faces and pop a gas canister and ignite it with the thermal shield doing a ton of damage
I can understand your preference to useing cluster missles but if you want a more agressive/evasive northstar viper thrusters help alot as i have found myself to be vulnerable when in the air due to how slow she is when using hover
I always you Viper thrusters, seeing the speed then switching to a different kit and seeing the slowness really effects what I feel while flying as Northstar. I only change the kit to the double tether traps if I play frontier defense
As a scorch main I personally use the thermal shield kit. More defense is always good for a titan with low mobility and if you can get in people’s faces with it then it’s some of the highest dps on titans in the game
As a g14 Northstartar don’t sleep on her viper thrusters they are super good especially if you want that core to be the most effective because most guys run when they see a flying northstar that close and viper thrusters gives you the ability to chase further more a well timed core after using hover will place you high enough that titans can’t really defend themselves against the core up close
salvo core is very good. it is IMPOSSIBLE to miss his rockets bc they are crosshair guided. you can even send it into the sky and do a mini artilllery barrage on the nearby titan
Each type of titan falls (pun intended) into 3 types depending on their speed/health, Ogre class(scorch and legion) are the more tanky and slower titans, Atlas class (Ion, Tone and Monarch(I will get to it)) are the mid range at both speed and health, and finally Strider class (Ronin and Northstar) are the squishy but fast titans that are the hardest to master *technically Monarch is Vanguard class but in states he’s a Atlas class
As a G10 Monarch, i definitely recommend using the missle salvo, electric smoke, and health upgrades. I found that Monarch's biggest weakness is that surviving is necessary to get going. With these three perks, you are basically unapproachable. Electric smokes and upgraded missles are insane in close range So you can both defend yourself AND jump other players, particularly ronin and scorch, who would usually dominate. It also helps with getting battery executions. As for the max health upgrade, yes, the chain gun is good, but at range you can not compete with the damage northstar, tone, or legion provide. Also, the other titans (besides northstar rip) all have a shield to defend themselves. Monarch requires usually getting into a gun fight to get shields which means you are usually just netting 0 on health, so the extra health and no crits help increase survival.
Ion's tripwires plus the zero point kit make them pretty good. The mines aren't actually tripwire, and instead operate as proximity mines. I can't tell you how many times I've plopped some mines in a crowded doorway and gotten a double or triple pilot kill. Another good strategy is to pop an electric smoke and place the mines inside, so any titan that's chasing you to try and execute you has to tank a lot of damage to get to you
For legion, light alloy is almost objective the worst kit for him, while hidden compartment may sound but because its damage reduction, it doesn't matter two shots can get any titan to almost one shot
Not for me. I’ve used all and them and that one is my favorite. My biggest issue with him is his mobility so anything to help speed him up is what I go with.
@@sternwardboss And that's your preference but overall it's better to run Hidden compartment since 15% damage decrease is outdone by the fact that you get two charges of it which makes your burst damage incredibly high and you can push back enemies a good distance
one thing I forgot to add is that Legion's powershot is his most useful ability in any fight close range knocks back while long range it's explosive rounds
I love the Titanfall games. Put well over 1000 hours into TF1 and played TF2 a ton when it came out. I moved on not long after the Monarch’s Reign dlc and haven’t played it in a few years. Recently got back into it and love that the game is back and doing well. Ion was my main Titan and I got pretty good with it, totally fine with it being B tier and in the middle lol. Not instantly targeted like a Monarch or Ronin when ppl see them drop in lol
As a Scorch main. The thermite trap isn't really good for a *trap* , its best use is for extra damage. If you can corner an enemy titan, throw down your traps and firewall, then burn them with your heat shield. You'll always delete a titan's entire health bar in seconds. And if you melee when they are at a sliver of health, you'll always get a free termination since by the time your fist hits the enemy, the fire damage from your traps and firewall already got them to doomed state. But that strategy only works effectively with Tempered Plating because you'll be burning with your enemy while fighting them. So i disagree with the titan kit choice but i see where you are coming from with your opinion. overall decent tier list and while i disagree with a few placements, i understand/respect your opinions. (Also if you're seeing this by any chance, sorry for the long rant. Im just extremely passionate about the game)
@@sternwardboss1. Misgendering ion(huge sin it’s my girl💀) 2.not explaining the energy system for ion(you really did ion dirty).ion has a energy system which is stupid but important to her gameplay. Most of her ability’s use the energy on the left of her screen while your in her(sus), and you need energy and cooldawon to use her ability’s 3. Referring the size classes as medium, large instead of atlas and orgre And I’m literally 4 mins into the vid💀
i love seeing new titanfall2 vids and all but its kinda apparent that you havent really spent enough time on all the titans figuring out their kits and how to utilize them. ion is honestly an s teir titan she just has harder mechanics to master then most the other titans. great video tho!
The THERMITE LAUNCHER is the BEST SCORCH KIT?! My guy, you can kill a legion with a single flame shield use from full health!! WTF are you doing with these titans?! Trap an enemy titan between your incendiary traps, ignite them with the fire wall then torch them with your flame shield. They can do absolutely nothing about it unless they’re a strider class (Northstar can fly over the pit of death, and ronin can phase through you). I’ve aced a whole damn team with this before in LTS, Scorch is a monster in close quarters. Why are you prioritizing his oversized flare gun?
While I'm not going to say that these takes are wrong... I am going to say that you should probably redo this video in the future. Your editing is quite good for such a small channel and it would be nice if you gave some more refined opinions once you got some more seat time in each titans. I'd reccomend waiting until you get all titans to G1.0 as by that time you can get more familiar with each titan's quirks, strengths etc. I think it was most evident that you lacked proper seat time when you kept calling Ronin OP and Ion's traps trash. Overall however good video, unrefined takes 👍
Monarch is really only a significant threat once it gets at least half way to core 2 and is a monster once you let it get to core 3. That being said it is the softest titan in the game defensively so as long as you push it aggressively early on it isn’t really a huge threat to anything other than north star and ronin.
Hey Sternward! First of all i'd like to say , amazing video quality +1sub from me. Altough i'd like to give some constructive criticism, i think theres some misconceptions about titan abilities and titan kits (mostly titan abilities) but all in all it was a really enjoyable video. I hope this doesn’t sound rude or offensive in any way. All in all great video quality!
I am a ronin main, and i can say with a fair amount of confidence that ronin is the hardest titan to use correctly. I have practiced with ronin for 7 years and one strategy I have found that is most effective with him is to focus on one titan at a time, and you have to channel some napoleonic energy, (charge, charge, and charge again) And even if you die, if you have a team of titans behind you, you have just sowed chaos in the enemy titan lines and have given your team a chance to destroy them all! (Also, phychopathic laughter is required when you activate sword core)
Great video overall but I have to disagree on Northstar. She's at least A-tier overall, S-tier in titan brawl, and hard carries in last titan standing. Northsar's main strength is dealing unanswered damage by playing around cover with the railgun. In titan brawl she'll regularly match/beat Ronin and Scorch's total damage with 2-3 deaths instead of 5-7. However, playing too passively and camping is a mistake with Northstar. Take advantage of her movement to flank, peek from unexpected angles, and pressure opponents. In LTS I often push aggressively with a Ronin player and hold the last corner while they engage. In my experience maining Northstar her main weakness is dropping too early when there are no enemy titans, and taking significant damage from pilots. Like Monarch it's often best to wait before calling her in. With backup battery I often can doom the enemy's first titan and have flight core ready with full health.
As a scorch main I tend to use the tempered plating more than wildfire launcher since it allows more aggressive gameplay, and an aggressive Scorch can at least kill a Titan or two, the block on crits is an added bonus though, which just makes Scorch more tanky and tough.
Hello, Ronin main here. Um…yes. His kit is very strong in the right hands. None of it is overpowered. Arc wave is by far the strongest ability he has and it compensates for the lackluster damage of his weapon (also it knocks out any defensive ability or any titan instantly, which is a little broken). Phase dash is good, but against skilled players who know Robin’s tricks it can very easily get you killed (try to dash through an enemy and they dash with you, you explode when you phase back on). Sword block can even block the damage from a nuke eject, but I would still say it’s not as good as Tone’s particle wall simply because it’s too active. You can’t do anything while holding it aside from recharge dashes and abilities so it’s more for when you’re disengaging. Sword core is cool but it SUCKS. The infinite dashes is awesome and the potential damage is insane, but anyone with ears is going to know you’re coming and by the time you have said core, you’re likely close to doomed and are more likely to be executed than actually do much damage. Edit: also, Northstar kicks his ass. Why the hell did you stick the strongest titan in the game in C tier?
Thunderstorm is tied with temporal anomaly for his strongest kit (unless you’re in frontier defense, then it goes to highlander easily since you can quite literally remain in your sword core for the entire round). Temporal anomaly is much better for survival, thunderstorm is necessary for dealing any significant damage.
I think tones rocket salvo got the short end of the stick. It can be curved around anything if used with sonar pulses you can pull off some amazing take downs
Alright mate you’re so bloody close, legion is heaps stronger than ya think. His power shot changes depending on what mode you’re in, close range grants a shotgun sneeze that will shave an entire health segment and decimate pilots from stupid range, while the long range power shot is equivalent to a northstar sniper shot. Legion is the perfect titan to harass ronins who get in your face, and northstars who constantly run from you, hes a menace at all ranges. Legions krytonite is Ion, DO NOT shoot his damn shield.
Oh man, Tone's Salvo Core doesn't do a lot of damage. Bruh, I had to chuckle at that. Best strategy you can do with her core is aim straight up, fire all the missiles from behind cover and then move out and aim at anything you want to obliterate. If you time it right you can get the 3 tracker locks to fire a tracking missile barage just as your Salvo Core is hitting from above or behind. The real, "No where to run. No where to hide." Tone is definitely best girl and Scorch and Legion are my S tiers as well.
Personally I don’t think having a titan under G2, or at least to where you have all the kits, gives you any right to rank them. Kits play a lot when I comes to how you use a titan and advising to use the weakest or mid-est of them is just setting new players up to fail. Here’s what I use for my titans: Ion: Grand Cannon - longer core, more damage against out of position titans Scorch: Inferno shield - more damage to close range titans and longer use for stopping damage Northstar: Viper thrusters - faster when I use my core and hover so less down time for other titans to shred me Ronin: Thunderstorm - two arch waves, twice the stunning and slowing so more of a hit and run play style Tone: Rocket barrage - more rockets means more damage and more core charge Legion: Hidden compartment - two power shots for more damage and more pilot kills if using close range mode Monarch: Energy thief - do I need to explain why I use this? Faster core build up, battery on execution and it fits with her play style.
One thing to note with Tone is that you can guide the missles in your core attack. Yes, they're slower, but if the enemy titan moves, you can direct them toward it.
With the Thermite launcher I made a mistake. I was thinking of the Triple threat upgrade in Frontier defense and the 40mm tracker is technically a grenade launcher. It’s a 40mm high explosive round.
As a legion main, the best kit is Hidden compartment, it allows you to push aggressive titans back, and lets you just blast away pilots easily when in close range mode… which you should basically never switch out of.
Legion pilot here... the powershot is a monster of an ability. Crit spots will remove a bar of health on any titan, at close range mode it'll erase a pilot from existence. Also the powershot is all the barrels firing at once.
very entertaining vid, but i wont lie these are some of the craziest takes theres no way at all youre above gen 6 you right about monarch though easily the strongest titan in the game by a mile
@@justinarnold4552 I love Northstar but it’s hard for me to play her strengths all the time which is hang back and find angles. I like to be a bit aggressive. Not Ronin and Scorch aggressive but aggressive.
Giving some tips as an G26 Monarch My kits are: Turbo Engine, and Energy thief With my upgrades being Arc Rounds, Maelstrom, and XO-16 Accelerator Monarch is incredibly weak on base drop. Her strength lies in her cores, so when you play monarch, you are playing for survival and longevity. Using energy thief is great because it builds your core faster, and the battery execution is just a bonus. Also remember that rearm is your best friend. Rearm not only refreshes your tactical abilities but ALSO your dashes. Its why I choose turbo engine, as when used effectively you have 4 dashes in your pocket. Good for easy maneuver, entry, dodges, and escape. When using rocket salvo, in my personal experience it is the best pilot exterminator. For titans, aim near their feet, even if you don't directly hit them, the splash damage will. This is especially great when dealing with something like a legion with his gun shield up. And then for energy siphon, if you're not in a fight, *farm literally everything*. Reapers, Spectres, Dropships, Grunts. They ALL will give you shield. It is also a very good way to engage and disengage other titans, due to the fact that it will slow down and visually impair them. As for the cores, Arc Rounds and XO-16 Accelerator are my top picks because its your main device for damage output. If able to reach that third core you become a force to be reckoned with. One mag dump on a beefy boy like a legion will melt their shield almost drop their health in half. For the other upgrades, specifically the missile ones, they aren't bad, but you will do more consistent damage with your main gun than with the missiles. And it's already strong enough to quickly take out any pilot it hits. Maelstrom on the other hand, it absolutely melts anything and everything that dares to step into it. It is an amazing deterrent for people chasing you, but when learned to use electric smoke offensively it becomes one of your best damage dealers. One thing to remember with electric smoke, the damage stacks on how many you deploy. This is also helped by energy thief because the more cores you get = the more smokes. (My personal favorite way to use it, is during endgame if the enemy evac dropship is close enough to the ground, is to deploy all my electric smokes at once and watch the health bar drain to zero in a matter of seconds.)
What about missile racks? I like the DPS it provides and helps with her poor Burst DPS, I agree with mealstrom because the smoke is super busted if you get up close, personally I really like superior Chassis because of Beeg health, and the Possibility’s for Titan 1v1s is insane, you get melt 3 titans in 40 seconds but what is your take?
Missile racks is good, I personally just focus into the chain gun because its her main damage dealer But the one thing with monarch is that she’s very versatile for different play styles, there are few upgrades I’d consider “bad” so it’s all up to the player
I know but for some reason I still always miss 😂. I like to just shoot it directly at them. I’ve been practicing with it though because it’s definitely a skill issue lol
@@sternwardboss I feel you. I try to save it for when I get good positioning and catch somebody from behind. When I do, I just blast them directly with it. It's pretty nuts. I main legion, mostly.
As a Scorch main i must say i was surprised of the ranking of infernal shield. It turns the defensive into an offensive defense and has the potention to melt down an ogre titan with full health and shields to nothing. I never used wildfire launcher and since im starting to main other titans itll take some time until i try it out
My list in ranking Tone Ronin Northstar Ion Monarch Legion Scorch Explanations: Tone is just too good all around Ronin is the best when you master him Northstar does so much damage and has the Joestar Family's secret technique to keep sniping from a distance Ion is well rounded, can launch attacks strong back, and stop charging enemies with beefy trip mines Monarch is great when fully upgraded but just that, it's hard to upgrade them, and both before and after they're upgraded all it takes is a good scorch core or another titan to knock monarch out. However very good mid distance shooter and staying that way with energy zap Legion is great damage dealer, but vulnerable due to mobility and shield weak point, especially if someone gets behind him Scorch is a fantastic damage dealer in the right situations, but being a close range Ogre class can make it difficult to close distance especially in large maps where he can just be sniped. However, if he gets behind the enemy team without them knowing it's over for them as he will set them all ablaze form behind, get his core in seconds, and smash them. However, any titan can beat any other titan, and while this is a ranking it doesn't really mean much because they're all great, work great, and all beat each other. The only exception is if its 6vs6 titan battle and one entire team is Northstars or tones because they will win but become gay in the process because that is the second most gay thing you can do besides spitfire and A-wall every game (If you do this I hate you and I hope you get titan rushed)
For me, I have way too much time in scorch and the best play style I have for him is area denial, and flanking. For scorch you really want to get behind the enemies. Pick up the mobile kit it is the best kit for scorch undeniably (in my opinion). The one thing scorch needs is speed and having that extra dash cool down time allows you to close the gap much faster and secure kills. I also play with tempered plating allows you to do so much burst by increasing your survivability, as well as negating all damage from your attacks/traps. Another cool thing is if you are in a map with low ceilings and a pilot rodeos you shoot the ceiling, then look forward. It kills them instantly.
Ion tripwire almost does almost a full bar of damage and can be free with the kit. Its AOE is outrageously huge and is a menace to any smaller enemies in the general vicinity due to the huge trigger-box and AOE. It even one-shots groups of stalkers. Tempered plating is a HUGE deal for PvP scorch. Crit-immunity is great. The ability to combo your fire on the ground with your flame shield is plain evil. You deal stupid damage without consequence if you get a good flank. For frontier defense, the wildfire launcher is the GOAT. Northstar is the second most pilot dependent titan after ronin. Good tactical positioning with northstar is just OP. I would rank Northstar A tier above Ion and Scorch. I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm guessing you're a Monarch main because you called ronin the most annoying, or you haven't played much. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only problem with ronin is sword block. Rework it and it would be perfect. Sword core isn't OP because it is FULLY COUNTERABLE BY EVERY TITAN IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE!!! 40mm grenades bending through space to hit the titan is not a thing, you must be new, not a monarch main. The ticks from sonar and from hitting the 40mm cannon are equal except you don't need line of sight for the sonar to work. Tone's core doesn't do the most damage, but is super is easy to hit. You can miss and try again if you need to. Tone is easy to play, but lack potential. I would say same tier as Ion, but not as good as ion. Legion is, by far, the most misunderstood titan in the game. Long range mode doubles your ammo consumption while only dealing the same damage per shot (you only get half a mag). It is more accurate, but you should use close range as much as possible to keep the lead flying at your enemies. The power shots are very simple. They shoot one bullet which deals lots of damage. The short range one hits a big area and has knock-back. The long range one is precise and can deal critical damage. It does similar damage to northstar's railgun. Legion is actually a great counter to northstar due to the gun shield and this power shot. Gun shield is one of my least favorite shields. It blocks a lot of damage, but only lasts a tiny amount of time. Bulwark is almost useless for this reason. You almost never have your shield destroyed with or without it. You caught on to this: legion's smart core is your primary objective. Smart core doesn't allow for extra DPS, it just makes every bullet hit. The other great thing is that it shuts down nearby pilots trying to damage you while you are distracted by another titan. The most common kit used with legion is hidden compartment. Alloys is a quality of life thing. Sensor array is just fun. The sleeper pick is extended ammo. With extended ammo, you can get your core without reloading. Open with a power shot, keep shooting, power shot again and boom: infinite ammo time. They never see it coming. You are basically the final boss the campaign was missing. I think legion is equal to northstar. I hate monarch, but only because of energy thief and arc rounds. Oh, I was right, you are a monarch main AND you lack experience. I've played this game for too long... I must defend the true best titan weapon: the predator cannon. It is everything legion does, so immediate GOAT gun. I refuse to give monarch tips. But, pro tip, SHOOT EVERY MONARCH YOU SEE. They expect you to run away. Legion is a great counter due to high burst and sustained damage and being tanky. Killing monarchs needs to be a priority because it is just broken. Okay, I'll talk about monarch. The only good kits are energy thief and the faster rearm one. Only really use the rearm on if you are doing a missile build, otherwise, 10% faster core is already insane for energy thief along with the opportunity to steal a BAR AND A HALF of health from any titan. Not to mention you can have FOUR dashes as monarch. Energy transfer is weak AF, missile racks are fun but are paper ball compared to extended ammo that deals more damage on average. All yellow upgrades are great and up to personal choice, but the reload speed is cancerous for gun builds. Multi target missiles is actually trash because you have to wait for several locks and the damage increase is nothing compared to the chaingun upgrade. Superior chassis is also a game-ruiner. No one will ever read this comment, but it was fun anyways.
I just read the whole thing lol. My response would take too long lol. Thanks for the tips 💪🏼 In the process of making an updated Titan tier list video as we speak. Won’t be done for a couple months but going to go into a lot more detail and I have a lot more time with each Titan. Hopefully my next one will be better 💪🏼
Tone... Tone is *by far* the most annoying titan in game... The 40mm is an ABSOLUTE MENACE to pilots... especially when you dont know how to outmaneuver it... it took me 3 years to learn that. Also... that particle wall is absolutely toxic in titan 1v1s (unless im in my northstar 🙃)
The gun shield is overpowered? Did you forget that you can’t run, melee, or do anything but shoot while it is active? Or the fact that all they have to do is shoot your shoulders (weak points btw) or shoot your feet to deal damage around it (Northstars are particularly good at this)? Or that it doesn’t block melee damage so a scorch can just melt you by shoving his flame shield into your face while you can do nothing since your gun can’t shoot through said shield? Or that a ronin can just swipe it away with a single arc wave?
And the power shot is the best ability he has. One push of a button and you blow an entire health bar off an enemy titan or disintegrate any pilots you were looking at. Hidden compartment is by far his strongest kit, 15% damage loss per shot for a collective increase of 70% is a very good trade off. You can kill a strider titan in half a magazine with this ability, or an atlas with one full one.
As for Smart Core, yes. It is by far the strongest core in the game. He’s even the only titan who warns the enemy team that his core activates because it’s that powerful.
Northstar main here I use the viper thrusters because they are a jack of all trade. If I want to keep my distance or run away that helps me a lot, and also if I want to rush an enemy titan, allowing me to have the same speed in vtol than on the ground, but I can ads and charge the gun, and the thrusters make the core fly faster than running so on top of doing lots of damage, you can't escape me or get too close if I'm the other way around. And the thrusters help me as well to brain the facing titan, paired with electric smoke I make them lose track of me, turning behind a corner and then get back right on their head while they are trying to get closer. Also I use the bonus dash to add even more mobility and allowing me to improve further my ambush playstyle. I use the double traps in FD, I look vertically as they spread on launch, making them spread even more as they travel more distance, and by turning myself perpendicular to the corridor/lane I'm in that makes 2 traps in one, helping to slow down these nuke titans on the way on top of the electric traps.
I'm a bit more of a camper. I run threat optics with the extra electric smoke. Made a tone and legion leave me alone on homefront because I was hitting them, and they weren't hitting me much.
Love how he calls all the titans “he” when Tone, Ion, Monarch, and NorthStar have female voices while Scorch, Ronin, and Legion have the male voices XD
When you’re playing with scorch you have to not think of him as beefy zoning titan, you think of him as beefy ronin with zoning capabilities minus phase dash
Figured i'd make a comment on the two titans I use the most this is not to be rude just a general clearing up of certain things. So for Scorch wildfire launcher isn't typically used when there's 2 options that are just better the first being inferno shield, Inferno shield kit is used due to Scorch's thermal shield be able to do incredible amounts of damage at close range while also eating projectiles for a longer time combined with a gas trap you can do absolutely insane damage the other one which is more for survivability or if you don't want to worry about self damage is tempered plating, you get rid of your weakpoints so you can't get critted by anything and you don't have to worry about stepping in your fire at all. The other Titan is Legion, uh just gonna say straight up that light weight alloy is terrible when Hidden compartment exists as far as I know almost everyone who plays legion me included use Hidden compartment because of how good power shot is. Power shot isn't a rate of fire increase it's a short windup then a burst of bullets for incredible damage the close range version doing knockback and the long range version doing explosive shots, Hidden Compartment is so good because you can spam the ability up close to essentially get a Titan to very low hp the 15% damage decrease is simply not comparable to the upsides you get of having 2 charges of power shot. Like I said at the beginning this isn't meant to be rude or hurtful it's simply meant as a clearing up of things and what is considered to be good or used by those players me included.
I main Tone. Arguably, the Salvo core is the best. As long as the enemy titan is close, the Salvo will home onto the enemy. The biggest problem with it is that if a Ronin sneaks up behind you, it will decimate you if you do not have turbo engine titan kit on, (which gives Ion, Tone, Northstar and Ronin an extra boost, while giving Scorch and Legion a considerably lower boost cooldown).
I main Tone, and the core is the best, most OP aspect she has. It follows where you are looking, you can shoot the core in the air, look at a titan, and it will track to them. It burst Ronin and Northstar from 100 to fully dead, and pretty much 100 to doomed everyone else. Best core in the game imo. Also, reinforced particle wall is by far the best. Unless you use a core, u ain't breking that wall, its stupid how good it is, even I think it deserves a nerf. Its so broken, i use any other one besides that to cut on the toxicity and out of respect for others. Kill it, its way too good.
I play a lot of tone, i use the 3 shot burst, i am fully aware it isnt the best, id argue it better than the second sonar pulse but what its great at doing is when you know a titan is either coming out from cover or rounding a corner, if you land all three the damage is devastating and you can imidatly follow up with a rocket barrage
as a silly little northstar main, i like to use threat optics because i can put up an electric smoke as cover while i snipe through it, while the enemies basically have to guess (and usually they guess wrong) as to where i may be. the tether trap nuke eject is also rather silly
Don't know if anyone has said but as an ex-titanfall 2 player, ronin also has a way to insta kill a titan using his phase dash and block, pop ur phase dash and attempt to stand where the other titan is standing and hold ur block, this insta kills the other titan
Tripwire is pretty good ability so that kit is one of the better ones for ion. Scorch’s best thing is his flame shield so that makes it even better. Ronin is really strong but only if you are good so he is nowhere near as op as suggested, genuinely ronin is F Tier if you aren’t a really good with him. Tone is ok but really easy to counter if you play it right, his primary damage is the rockets so you can dodge or block them fairly easy with most titans so again not as strong as suggested. The things said about legion are just wrong, legions best but us his power shot at close range so please please please just use hidden compartment because it is the best one, the gun shield is bad you can still hit him when he has it up and alright I’ll give it to him smart core is a decent ability 😂, just note that light weight alloys basically does nothing so don’t bother. Monarch, the energy siphon is useful sometimes but I wouldn’t say it’s op, don’t bother with any first core than arc rounds, maelstrom is better than said but defo go for rearm and reload, don’t use multi lock missiles, it’s a toss up between XO-16 accelerator or superior chassis, whatever your preference is.
You should of mentioned the aguis rank upgrades (hope I spelled it right) they are really op especially legion and monarch’s as monarch gets a 2nd tier one upgrade when spawned and legion get all of his kits
I left out a lot of things on purpose just to make it easy to understand and not 45 mins long. I’ll make another tier list video next year a bit more in depth
I can't figure if respawn just doesn't feel our interest or what. But I have been waiting for years for a Titanfall 3 as have we all. The Titanfall Universe is unique and interesting. MW and battlefield franchises just don't do it for me. Nothing about apex excites me either. It's the Titans people interested in these games want.
if you want to be good at ion, you don't want to use the ADS on the splitter rifle, and instead only spend energy on laser shot and vortex shield, and zero point tripwire gives you another move to just spam in case of a ronin/monarch
Northstar is S tier. Which stands for Sky tier. 😂 Northstar has a small healthpool for a reason. A Northstar with more health would be broken tho. That range and poke from the plasma. The anti pilot hiding inside & the anti infantry usage of clusters. And the trap can make even close range titans like ronin and scorch think twice about rushing you. The hover may not be that good as you're very vulnerable in the air but it gives you more options to poke using different rent angles at least. Her ult isn't great against a single target especially considering how game changing the other titans ukts can be. but it gives you a lot of aoe so you can actually deal with bunch up targets. She has a Very flexible kit.
Pretty much any titan is a menace in the right hands. It’s so well balanced there’s really no right or wrong answer of who is best as each one has their strengths and weaknesses and can each be effective when used by the right person. Me personally, I really don’t like northstar but I know people who can dominate with it. It really isn’t a case of which is better, but which one you prefer.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
As you said, it's personal preference. In reality, any Titan can be S tier when you master them. A well piloted Northstar is an absolutely terrifying menace.
Very true
Not Scorsh btw
Yes I can attest to this. I personally hate Northstar. But I have been absolutely destroyed by a G6+ Northstar main. Folded like a lawn chair.
1 brrrt, 1 doomed titan! My motto at least
@@ninjainpyjama8119as a Scorch main i have to fisagree with you because i usually Decimate entire Teams witz my Titan tho i also have to admit if your unlucky or fuck up shit is gonna go south wich is why you gotta play smart with Scorch
As a scorch main, I gotta say - inferno shield is a must have. You have no time for mid range fights where you stand and aim, you always move to the enemy and apply pressure. As long as they have time to gather their mind, you're losing the fight
Also re:Scorch, the gas traps are meant for locking down chokepoints and cutting off retreats. Simply place one behind the Titan you're about to fight, charge them with inferno shield, and watch their health bar melt
Tempered plating is much better imo. You don’t need a stronger shield if you can stand in multiple pools of enemy melting fire
@@Chazinthius you do though; standing in the fire does nothing to stop Northstar from sniping you, another scorch from roasting you, or frankly any other titan from using any of their numerous ranged attacks to put you down. Plus, inferno shield isn't just a stronger shield - honestly I use it offensively way more often than I use it to block shots because it absolutely melts enemy titans
@@luke_of_astora I know. But I can melt faces anyway. Can you stand in your own flames? You still have critical points and can’t stand in your own flames without repercussions.
@@Chazinthius why would I need to stand in my own flames? If you position your traps well, there's no reason you should ever be taking self damage
As an Ion main, I can tell your not too familiar with it. Zero-point trip wire is arguably the best ability. It allows you to use your energy to block with your Magnetic Shield while still damaging rushing titans such as Ronin with spamming trip wires. Really the magnetic shield just shreds titans like Ronin, Monarch, and especially Legion. I will say if you aren't going Zero-Point Trip Wire, then the Refactor Lenses is decent. Just depends how you want to use your energy. Ion might be the easiest titan to play, but by far the hardest to master with your resource management and timing with your shield blocks.
Ya Ion is definitely my least used Titan so thanks for tips! 💪🏼
I use the thing that makes your vortex shield better. I can master my energy pretty good so just going up against a monarch and watching them run away as i shred them is hilarious. I also notcied the execution is the same thing Slone did to BT so it is pretty funny executing him
The thing with is that an experienced player can counter them so easily. With the trips on ronin you can just phase pass or hell on other titans just disengage and look for a better fight later. Her laser shot is generally a good ability that I think in the hands of good ion mains can be devastating. Her vortex shield absolutely destroys newer players and as you said especially Ronins legions. However as someone who's maind both legion and Ronin extensively, a legion can simply just not shoot and try to wait out some of the cool down before popping sheild and spray during the last half since with good timing most bullets fired back will be eaten by the shield leaving an ion mostly defenseless, with ronin its a simple as closing the gap as his sword deals damage through vortex. I do think ion is a great character who is of course effective in a good players hands. A good ion will be able to out play a ronin trying to close gap or even a legion trying to bait out vortex shield timings. Which I think is a great thing it's this level of depth to titans where knowing how every abilities work and where your titan lacks creates an environment where newer players still enjoy the wailing on things with a giant robot and can even find success and the experienced players can create this game of cat and mouse trying to widdle down the other. It's what makes titanfall so great for me you have this marriage of fast paced moment to moment gameplay of a pilot where quick reactions and good movement are required for survival while titans are this game of either destroy every small thing in your path or a game of equals trying to bring down this giant death mech. Just really impressive respawn was able to make both work so perfectly.
@@sternwardbosstripwire does some crazy good damage you just gotta place it close to enemies!
Also you have very controversial kit preferences lol.
@@Oceanic620 That’s if an enemy runs into it. I almost NEVER run into one. I see it and shoot 2 bullets at it and it’s gone. You say controversial to who you? Remember this is my personal list:) I’ve been playing this game since the Beta
this tierlist really shows you how playstyle affects preferences. He plays ion aggressively, and plays scorch at long range for axample and you can see that in his preferences
this is possibly the best take I've seen in the comments, i play ronin a lot you can tell he like to play ronin as fast as possible, with little to no regard for his own life rushing in and spamming things as much as possible. you can also tell in his description of the titan he's played against some really good ronins but hasn't actuality learned to get good at ronin himself, like how hes calling sword block op when he only uses it when cornered and his ability on cooldown. ive sunk way more time than id like to admit into ronin and i still have more to learn but id say the first step is to slow down a lot and learn to weave together dodges and combos.
An amazing point, this just shows how our preferences are vastly different, or similar. As well as showing what kind of play style he uses, it can help us understand his POV before judging
I agree, however I think he just straight up does not know what the heck he's doing with scorch. He constantly was backing away down long hallways, actively putting himself at an incredible disadvantage. Scorch is a close range titan that can shred through enemies with flame shield. I'd even argue it's the best defensive in the game. Also, because he thinks he's a sniper, he gets no value out of the mid to close range flame traps that have the ability to put enemies in near hopeless positions. He's all about close quarters and area control, something this guy does not quite grasp. Also flame core does an incredible amount of damage and can kill titans with 2 bars of health left including doomsday. I hate to hate, but this placement seems like a skill issue. As a scorch main, I can get top three pretty often.
Also he's running wildfire launcher which is one of the worst kits. The nade is for igniting traps and taking out pilots, and the damage and duration buff of inferno shield is a must have.
Scorch’s launcher isn’t semi auto. It’s single shot. Semi auto involves loading a new round on its own. Tone has a semi auto rifle.
Lvling up scorch does turn the launcher semi auto. Eventually at max lvl you can fire 3 times before reloading.
@@lecturnzunknown2499that's only in frontier defense in any other mode you can't do that
Aegis upgrades@@lecturnzunknown2499
Semi-auto refers to the action of a weapon, not the capacity. There are some semi-automatic singleshot rifles that exist IRL. That being said, we don't know exactly what kind of action the thermite launcher uses unless it's written in an art book somewhere.
@@DPRK_Best_Korea the thermite launcher would be a breach loading single shot. Semi auto specifically refers to the capability to automatically loading a new cartridge using the energy of the previously fired round to cycle the weapon.
Tone has a semi auto weapon. North start had a semi auto weapon.
As a Northstar main her health isn't an issue if we put in the practice and know how to use to her. The best way to play Northstar is to stay away from everyone and keep moving while looking for opportunities to deal damage. Since you're normally away at the other end of the map heath isn't too big of an issue unless you get cornered. You should also make sure to have other titans with you to support you if needed.
As a legion main the power shot is the strongest part of his kit
Nah, those extra 20 rounds count in long fire mode. If you crouch with gun shield it basically covers you and very annoying if you have bulwark.
@@Somerandofurry If you're crouching with gun shield people are just going to run away, and you're slower than a snail in molasses in that state so you can't chase them. Hidden Compartment is the best kit since it's a straight up damage increase when you use them both and the cooldown time isn't increased for each individual shot. You will get more damage out of two power shots than you will out of 20 extra rounds in long range mode.
Fr
Not the smart core? 😂
@@the_supern0va238yep, that's why I run hidden compartment.
As a Northstar main her cluster missile has to be the best anti pilot in the game. Not only can you shoot it at a pilot trying to hide in a building, but if you run out electric smoke are being rodeoed just shoot it at the nearest wall and turn around.
I like the Anti rodeo idea with the cluster missiles🤔 Thanks for the tips!
I hate to say this but technically its ronin if you know what you're doing you can phase b4 they take your battery turn around melee and it does no damage and free bat and core
@@Idontgiveafinnuck technically phase shift is a defensive ability, since its primarily used to evade other titans, also it dosent kill the pilot instantly, and you can survive it if you dont hop off.
@@Jayven45 its a 50/50 chance but the point i was getting at is u still get a free bat from the pilot. Phase dash back melee and you'll get'em
Not just great for pilots, but drop a tether and use a cluster for massive damage that no titan can defend against
Tripwire is arguably the best anti-pilot trap in the game. It’s like an incendiary trap on crack, the blast radius is insane.
I literally never run into them. Easy to spot and easy to destroy. Useless to me personally.
@@sternwardboss Yeah, I get ya. I get quite a bit of use out of it, but it’s rarely as an actual tripmine.
there good to combine with electric smoke on ronin's or anyone who just charges into it. @@sternwardboss
Can confirm the range is insane learned it the hard way as a pilot
@@sternwardbossfunctionally, it doesn’t work as a tripwire but more as a pilot killing proximity mine. It has a huge vertical activation and blast radius.

@@ACookie3994no joke, I was thinking the same thing.
Actually pissed me off and I don’t even play ion
And wildfire on scotch like what?
I think you should try using the electric smoke a bit more and as an offensive ability at that. The stronger smoke upgrade for Monarch can be devastating, especially if you run the Titan kit that gives you more smoke charges. Smoke is also amazing for Ronin, as smoke bombing your enemies can help you confuse them, damage them and outmaneuver them even more!
I’ll consider because nothing is more annoying to me than a Ronin in my face lol thank you.
@@sternwardboss it can be a good Ronin repellent
@@sternwardbossi concur, the amount of rushing Ronins I’ve wrecked using one then backing up and using another while still shooting. They rush thru and by the time they get out of the second one they’re doomed and already in your face for the battery steal
Okay you guys are selling me now lol thank you 💪🏼
@@sternwardboss maelstrom is the best 2nd upgrade monarch kit because what u can do is run up to a titan or come behind a titan pop maelstrom stun them so they sit in it longer while shooting them and easy bat.
Personally, they’re all S tiers to me. Each Titan offers me soemthing different and I enjoy playing them all. Ion is a cool, balanced option. Scorch can push hard and back up it’s pushes with force. North Star is deadly when used carefully (I personally like using the extra dash ability to get out of bad situations). Ronin is a fun skirmisher, its nice to get in and out of fights, dealing loads of up close damage. Tone is probably my second favorite, cause pinging like 4 back to back missile salvos is so much fun. Legion is always useful, and does scary damage. And finally, my all time favorite, monarch. It just feels like the ultimate Titan, like I can’t be beat when I’m using it. All in all, they’re all wonderful
absolute W take
I hunt monarchs as scorch😴🙏
Fair take
Scorch is the most lethal titan in the hands of someone who is good imo. His dps outclasses all other titans if its setup correctly.
Just lovely making an oven of a stacked fire damage
@@emmettblackburn8809the fire from the traps don’t stack :(
His trap wall primary and shield do tho
His core can skip doom phase
@@tayty1238 trust me I’m very aware
“I think his ult sucks”
Proceeds to instantly doom a full health Northstar with said ult.
I am a Titanfall 2 veteran, I have been playing since 2017 and each of my Titans are at least generation 4. Here some corrections I feel I should point out.
Someone's already said this but Ion's tripwire is very good. High damage and the blast radius on this thing is actually fucking ginormous, I am continually shocked at how high up it will kill wall-running pilots.
There are only two viable Scorch kits: Inferno Shield and Tempered Plating. Yeah the extra damage Wildfire Launcher gives is nice when you hit your shots but the two aforementioned kits are just so important you're actively screwing yourself by not taking one of them. You NEED the extra duration on Thermal Shield or be able to play more aggressive by going into your own fire. Also fun fact, a full Inferno Shield will kill a Legion from full HP, so if you get close enough to him he's just fucked.
Northstar's Hover actively screws you over a lot of the time. Exposing yourself like that while having the lowest HP in the game is very bad, Flight Core is much in the same boat. The Nuke Eject + Tether Trap combo is funny, but is extremely situational because you want to be as far away from enemies as possible so it's kind of counterintuitive. Also Threat Optics is useless because you don't have trouble seeing everyone anyway because all the maps are very well lit and it doesn't expose cloaked pilots iirc.
The only two kits you're running most of the time on Ronin are Thunderstorm and Temporal Anomaly. Highlander is useless because you can't afford to be an aggressive frontline with Ronin when his health is that low. Trading damage one for one while playing him is a VERY bad idea, which I can attest to from years of Ronin maining. The duration extend very rarely kicks in, let alone actually makes an impact. Phase Reflex is fine but missing out on two Arc Waves AND more Phase Dashes really hurts.
Salvo Core is arguably the best in the game. Yeah it can be inconsistent at times but being able to guide them behind cover and past defensive capabilities is something no other core can do. Pulse Echo is very underrated because you can fire it and get a lock much easier behind an evasive Titan hiding behind cover that you can't hit too easily to fire your rockets. Rocket Barrage is useless in comparison to that.
Legion's Gun Shield sounds good on paper until you realize that he's not actually fully covered. His foot and shoulder remain exposed so he can still be damaged by things like Laser Shot, Plasma Railgun, and 40mm Tracker Cannon splash damage. Not the worst defense but there's way better. Light-Weight Alloys is actually his worst kit, the movement speed doesn't get improved by jack shit in all honesty and the others are just really good. Hidden Compartment is by far the best imo because you get two Power Shots for a straight up damage increase. It doesn't increase rate of fire like you said, but instead is either a shotgun blast or a mini Plasma Railgun blast only for the cost of one/two bullets.
Monarch's missiles are meh. They go all over the fucking place and can be really inconsistent with their accuracy, being basically useless past midrange. Energy Transfer is dogshit because if you choose to give allies shield you give up the only semblance of self defense you have to give someone a shield that's only 10% of maximum shield capacity. Energy Field is also useless because if you hit more than one enemy you don't get shields for every one of them. You absolutely need to use Superior Chassis because it gives you 15,000 HP, which is the highest in the game. Even more than Legion and Scorch who have 12,500 HP. Shield Amplifier is again, useless because the shield you already get is so low the improvement means literally nothing.
If you read all of this you're a real one. You're clearly new to the game but it's always nice to see new players and I just wanna help out as much as I can so they can have as much fun as I do.
As someone who has also played the game since like 2016, I absolutely second this, I’ve played a long time with every titan, weapon, pilot and lethal, my main is Northstar. The ion part for the kit advice, the kit that increases his vortex damage output is good until you start playing against smarter players who know how to counter it, but the free tripwire is the best, with the energy return on crits coming in after it, especially if you want more laser shots.
The advice for Scorch id absolutely spot on as well, those are the only two I use after trial and error with the rest, though on rare occasions when I find myself against more pilots than titans, I give it the enhanced auto titan kit and wildfire launcher or tempered plating, because scorch auto-aim is amazing, but he often walks into his own fire. Scorched earth is mostly useless because the fire extinguishes about as fast as his launchers thermite, which is pretty fast. Fuel for the fire isn’t all that great because firewall honestly plays the small part in terms of damage, I primarily use it to ignite the gas traps behind the enemy at the start of the fight, my shield and launcher do the rest. As this method brings consistent results, it does pretty much go back to what he said, inferno shield, or tempered plating. Over core is typically the best kit 1 for him, because he already builds his core pretty fast, counter ready makes life more difficult for you if you use it at the wrong time, because electric smoke puts out thermite. Nuclear ejection isn’t that great outside of frontier defense, because any player with some experience can’t away nearly every time, although the fact that they have to move away may safe you when you eject, it’s not worth it’s not worth the loss of an extra 20% on your core. This goes for every titan.
Also, as much as I love Northstar, she is a liability during hover and core without viper thrusters. The enhanced payload can be better against pilots since it had a larger area, but it makes the damage less focused against titans, so you need to take that into account. With twin traps, both will catch as close to the same time, and both will break at about the same time too, not too useful, except for in frontier defense, once you get the exploding traps upgrade. Be careful, the exploding tether traps WILL kill you as a pilot. I learned that the hard way. Piercing shot Is incredibly situational, so you will get less use out of it. Threat optics can see through electric smoke, so it can pair well with the extra smoke kit, but honestly, still not that great, you want as much speed as possible with the Strider titans (ronin and northstar) which is why with both of them I always use turbo engine to get three dashes.
To quickly switch positions and get away from titans that pushing forward use viper thrusters and turbo engine. If you are aiming down sights as you start hovering, you will move slower until you stop aiming, so wait to charge your railgun until right after you press the button, and you will move at about sprint speed while being able to aim. It seems that if you used dash and then hover immediately after, you move even faster.
With ronin, all of what he daid is also correct, NEVER use highlander, outside of frontier defense that is. If you are in frontier defense, once you get all of the upgrades, you can stay in sword core without dying just about the entire wave, if you are careful of nuke titans. Ricochet rounds is also incredibly useless, the travel range and damage isn’t even reset after bounce, never use this one either. Phase reflex can be good, but it doesn’t save you from getting crushed by titan falls or reapers spawning, while stealth auto eject does. Be wary of stealth auto eject because your jump jets are very visible and you are east to shoot still without the low profile pilot kit equipped, and pilots can usually still see you pretty well while cloaked. Temporal anomaly is good, but i find thunderstorm to be the most effective because i can stun enemies i catch off guard, so they turn slower while i shoot them, then stun them again and phase behind them, then shoot them more. One mistake i see many ronin make that makes them lose is they keep spamming the sword after the shotgun is empty. The shotgun does WAY more damage, much faster, never do that. The only exception is if another ronin refuses to lower sword block, because it doesn’t not reduce melee damage from any titan. Also, sword block does reduce damage from everything else, including scorched thermite, electric smoke, and nuclear ejections. It doesn’t work against sword core swings, because that’s still melee. It reduces all non melee damage by 75%, so with full health you absolutely will survive nuclear ejections if for some reason you can’t get away. Also if you are phasing, you should almost always hold up sword block, because if you unexpectedly phase out into an enemy titan, you will instantly die other wise. It is extremely important to learn when to use ronin’s sword block.
With tone, to be honest i slightly disagree with him here. All of his kits can be good, but burst loader and enhanced shield are at the bottom because some Titans can counter it quickly and you can walk through it still. With burst loader the regular speed of firing one shot at a time is reduced. Pulse echo IS really good for the reason he said, but I feel that rocket barrage is at least close, because with it your tracking rockets can fully takeout a doomed titan, and just do more damage in general, this is important, since the rockets are toned only real source of damage. However, when dealing with groups of titans pulse echo is absolutely the best kit for tone, since it adds to the lock on for all within range. One more, very important tip for tone i learned, any Titans hit by the splash damage of tones gun still get the lock on. Using this, ive still locked onto tone behind shields, ions using vortex shields, and scorches using theirs, just aim at their feet or at the ground or wall closest to them, and you will still get the lock, even without pulse. Every he said about legion, plus this, yes his shield can definitely be shot around.
I was fighting a legion as ion just the other day and he thought his gun shield would save him from all of the bullets i was catching from him, until i took off over an entire health bar by aiming his bullets back at his feet. However, you can somewhat move his shield with your gun to block damage from some sources. I was able to block a decent amount of damage from a flight core this way. That’s all I really have to add. By the way, legion is the absolute worst auto titan for fighting pilots, (just a reminder, scorch and ronin are best at that).
Monarch survival of the fittest sounds good, but unless you have a team of pilots bringing you batteries, it’s not much help. However, if you decide to use battery back up for your pilot boost, you can grt out of your titan and use your boost as soon as possible, then get back in before you touch the ground. This is faster if you are using phase embark. Shield amplifier is stupid, it adds almost nothing. Rapid rearm is good for stunning and getting shield more often, but energy thief is just about always better because you earn every core faster, and get that battery on executions. But DO NOT chase a titan for a battery for too long. I see so many titans, especially monarch, lose way more health than they would’ve gained and even lose the fight when i was doomed because i was able to keep distance and damage them. Arc round is always the best option, because is takes away scorched thermal shield faster, ions shield, and to my understanding, also drains ions energy that all of it’s abilities use when you hit them. It also increases ammo capacity, which is important. Maelstrom is great against rodeoing pilots, and does way better damage against titans, which is great against aggressive ronins, scorches burning you with their shield, or any titan trying real hard to execute you. Rearm and reload is generally a better choice here though. Both missile upgrades suck because regular ones can be dodged fairly easily by titans, and you can do more consistent damage against titans with your gun. Don’t even use the missiles unless they are extremely low health and your gun is empty, or you are trying to get a pilot. The lockon missiles be avoided by using cover or vortex, thermal, or particle shields, and it tells them when you are locking on, plus you cant shoot your gun until you fire them. Remember these are not the rockets from BT’s titan, they won’t lock onto pilots, grunts, or spectres. Just use the accelerator upgrade for your gun, or the heath upgrade, like he said, your make health become higher than every other titans. While it does give you some extra health it will not take you out of doomed state, though it will refill your doomed health and shield.
I hope I am also able to help anyone who sees this.
Oh yeah, and with scorch you should just about always aim at a titans feet, it will cause the thermite to hit them more if they are moving forward or standing still.
Legion's dual power shot absolutely MELTS enemies. You are 100% underrating how powerful the powershot is. I've killed full health titans while I'm in doomed state because I used the dual powershot.
I’ll try it again💪🏼 It’s gunna be hard to give up Light Weight Alloys though.
The powershots were awesome b4 the nerf now meh. I use light alloy much more offensive and much better I used to use bulwark but legions shield is useless you can shoot his shoulders and it bypasses the shield.
@@sternwardboss the power shot deletes a full bar of a titan's health. Also YOU USE THE WILDFIRE LAUNCHER KIT!?!? AND LIGHT WEIGHT ALLOWS!?!?!
@@sternwardboss yeah it's always been super clutch for me, like if I'm going down I can always take some juicy HP with me. just be careful with Ions cuz they can reflect it all right back at you
@@Idontgiveafinnuck It got nerfed???? Must've been absolutely insane. I still think it's pretty good, especially as an opener to a fight-as long as it isn't an ion reflecting it, that's my only gripe about the build.
As a tone main imo the reinforced particle wall is her best kit. The wall gives you more time to hit titans for lock on’s without relying on critical hits for those additional lock on’s. Her salvo core is her main damage dealer and when used in conjunction with her lock on rockets can kill a full health ronin when used correctly. Btw tone is a girl. Other than that nice tier list! It’s nice to see fresh opinions on a newly revived game!
I’ll give it another try! and I know Tone’s a girl I’ve just always referred to all of them as men. Changing my ways though to get less heat in future videos lol
Btw tone is a robotic voice only heard by the pilot, clearly not a girl.
@@jordanp4987 ion, northstar, and tone are girls.
I have to disagree with that the 2 extra rockets are the best do to the fact that when you lock onto a titan you can arch your rockets in a way so for example someone is behind a building and there's an opening on the right then look to the right and fire your rockets and and they'll curve thats why they lock on. Another thing you did mention is with her core they are guided missiles so where you're aiming is where they going so look up in the sky use core and look at an enemy and they follow that.
@@Idontgiveafinnuck2 more rockets are good, but the particle wall kit buffs her shield so much it's broken. In competitive play especially, it's better to use because surviving damage is more important than dealing it if you wanna get as much value from your titan life.
It seems we both run scorch very differently. I use him as a melee death machine.
Scorch main here, if you’re brave enough to main scorch, I highly recommend using the inferno shield kit. Since you mobility is so low you absolutely need the extended time and damage. Plus if you are playing him on one his better maps such as complex or boom town, you can get in close to your enemies and absolutely destroy them with your shield. If executed correctly, a scorch can completed kill a full health legion if he keeps his upgraded inferno shield in their face long enough. Tempered plating is good too, but it’s not worth using most of the time because the inferno shield is so powerful. Lastly, using the faster dash + inferno shield upgraded kit is what I’d recommend for scorch, because the upgraded inferno shield is a must, and can charge your flame core almost instantly if you get close enough.
I deal you scorches by slow walking backwords
Thanks for the tips! 💪🏼 I’ll try it again because I mainly use Scorch on Complex and Ronins are always driving me nuts 😂
As a G100 Scorch main I consider other Scorches without tempered plating "free lunch". Two gas traps plus the thermal shield do way more damage than just the upgraded inferno shield. Tempered plating also lets you be more aggressive by being able to push through your own flames.
@@spitfire3975Not having a critical location is also a massive benefit. I play a lot of Ion and Northstar, missing out on that bonus damage makes Scorch and Monarchs that run their armor upgrades way more difficult to kill
3 things. 1:Tone is extremely powerful on PC because you can lock on with your salvo core and then flick the missiles over a building, meaning you have cover but the enemy titan is about to get hit by a hailstorm. Also he can basically aimbot pilots with the tracker cannon. 2: Legion’s power shot ability is actually incredible, what it really is is a sniper/shotgun depending on the mode, and it does insane damage if the damage hits. It also is amazing for blasting pilots and only consumes 1 ammunition. 3: Monarch’s Maelstrom ability can actually be insane if you run the Counter Ready Titan kit, because you can drop like 3 smokes at the same time, and they will all stack damage and be boosted by Maelstrom, it’s and incredible close range health melter.
I want to correct you a little bit about tone and legion. Salvo rockets are flying wherever your crosshair is pointed at, so you can just shoot all your salvo rosckets in the air by looking up and than put your crosshair down on enemy titan. In most cases all your rockets will hit and completely anihilate the enemy titan. And legions powershot does not increases the rate of fire but shoots 1 very powerfull shot. In long range mode it`s kinda like plasma rail gun and in close range it fires more like a shotgun and both are dealing huge burst dmg
The first part I know. The second part? Cleared some things up. Thanks Pilot💪🏼
It's not a single shot, watch the legion's introduction video, it shows that it increases the firerate immensely for very short.
@@celestialcolosseum meet legion says absolutely nothing about increasing rate of fire. But even if it is indeed increases in the description it is much easier to understand like a single projectile or a single shotgun shot (am pretty sure it actually is for the engine of the game). I have never read the descriptions of his abilities but i can see clearly with my eyes that when i press q predator cannon stops firing, deals huge dmg in a second(if powershot increases fire rate would be more logical to do this dmg overtime), and then keeps firing normally. Also you can actually see projectile that you fire with powershot in long range mode
@@celestialcolosseumThat's not what it does, but honestly Legions gun physically makes no sense at all so it's gonna be very confusing.
The close range mode power shot charges up for a brief moment before shooting a shotgun blast of bullets all at the same time, pushing titans backwards and doing a burst of damage instantly.
Long range mode power shot charges up for brief moment before shooting a single high damage bullet, similar to Northstars gun but that's a projectile and Legions is a hit scan.
@@sternwardbossIf you already knew Salvo Core has tracking, why would you ever say that it's easy to miss 99% of your shots with it? idk man...
I will also say as a legion man that the power shot does not only speed up the rotation by a slight bit it's firing a group of bullets at once and it only costs a couple of bullets in your clip and it does a good amount of damage especially if you hit a weak point. Now if legion could have all his kits just like in frontier defense he would be unstoppable unless you had the whole squad of enemy Titans on him
Ion's zero point tripwire is extremely good. My advice as an Ion main is use it always in close range. I recommend equipping the titan kit that gives two electric smoke charges. I find the most success by roaming until you see a titan, laser shot and regular fire splitter rifle while approaching it, remember to use vortex shield and return fire, then electric smoke when extremely close range and tripwire, backtrack to close-mid range while using laser shot, tripwire, regular splitter rifle fire, and the titan should be dead or doomed. Remember to hit critical hits and to use your dash wisely, especially when in close range to leave space for tripwire and laser shot. The second electric smoke charge is useful for escape from close range back to mid range, where Ion excels. This is just my personal playstyle, I recommend experimenting with her until you find what works best for you.
Northstar is S tier hands down. Keep enemies at range with effective evasive options and keep them in place with tethers, kill pilots with cluster missile, and destroy titan healthbars with charged attacks and critical hits. Some close range maps are more difficult for northstar, but on the whole she is one of the most oppresive titans that only needs simple aiming and situational awareness to make a massive threat on the field.
Even then it’s not to difficult to play her at close range if you know what you’re doing. If you know how to play any of the titans well, then you can fit them into places you’d think they wouldn’t be good in. Excluding scorch at long range of course.
Saying she's on the same tier as Monarch is wild lmao. She's not abke to handle herseld in every situation like Monarch which makes the latter S tier, Northstar's worst nightmare is a Ronin/Legion who know what they're doing and Tone literally just existing. Not having any way to block damage outright and the lowest HP in the game doesn't help either.
Gotta enjoy seeing my Trusty Ronin on the S tier. Another cool fact in case no one has mentioned is if you get rodeo and time the phase dash you can get an extra battery from the enemy pilot, you basically take no damage from that rodeo. Also, Ion can be OP in the right hands it can be aggressive
As someone with a G22 Scorch
Wildfire launcher is *not* Scorch’s best kit, it’s not even close.
As a northstar main and someone who has played and regenerated all of the titans at least once, on paper, yeah this tier list is accurate but in game it isn’t really. Ronin’s sword block doesn’t deflect that much damage and you will still be shredded by a legion even while using it so it’s not really something to rely on. Ronin is a hit and run titan but that’s not to say his sword block is useless because it does still reduce damage. And if you master northstar, her heath doesn’t matter because you will know how to play her effectively however this kinda applies to all the titans. Best advice is to just play the titans and get better. Unhelpful I know but when the titans have unique skills and a lot at that along with various play styles, that’s the only good way to master them in my opinion
I get it for the Ronin thing, but the sword deflects 70% of damage, and with sword core, it deflects 90% damage
Tip from a scorch main: the trap is incredibly useful in sectioning off the map.
See a ronin dashing past you? Trap off flanking routes.
Outnumbered and need to fall back? Or are enemies pushing too hard? Place a trap in front of you.
Just generally really good at preventing enemies from being where you don’t want them to be, and coaxing them out of position.
Hope this helps use the full map control suite scorch has to offer! :)
Happy hunting!
Also good at dooming yourself and nuclear ejecting to destroy the escape ship
7:30 I personally love tempered plating mostly because you can get up in titans faces and pop a gas canister and ignite it with the thermal shield doing a ton of damage
Tempered plating is ESSENTIAL.
Removing weak point is also amazing against titans like monarch or legion
As a Ronin Main - I love Spamming Arc Wave and Phase Wave to get up close to titans with Sword Core.
Deadass. I would use Thunderstorm or Phase Reflex
I already can tell you would destroy me even if you’re doomed and I’m a full health Ion 😂
@@sternwardboss deadass. This is the reason leadwell is not good
I can understand your preference to useing cluster missles but if you want a more agressive/evasive northstar viper thrusters help alot as i have found myself to be vulnerable when in the air due to how slow she is when using hover
I always you Viper thrusters, seeing the speed then switching to a different kit and seeing the slowness really effects what I feel while flying as Northstar. I only change the kit to the double tether traps if I play frontier defense
As a scorch main I personally use the thermal shield kit. More defense is always good for a titan with low mobility and if you can get in people’s faces with it then it’s some of the highest dps on titans in the game
As a g14 Northstartar don’t sleep on her viper thrusters they are super good especially if you want that core to be the most effective because most guys run when they see a flying northstar that close and viper thrusters gives you the ability to chase further more a well timed core after using hover will place you high enough that titans can’t really defend themselves against the core up close
salvo core is very good. it is IMPOSSIBLE to miss his rockets bc they are crosshair guided. you can even send it into the sky and do a mini artilllery barrage on the nearby titan
“Wildfire Launcher is the best scorch kit” bro lmfao
Each type of titan falls (pun intended) into 3 types depending on their speed/health, Ogre class(scorch and legion) are the more tanky and slower titans, Atlas class (Ion, Tone and Monarch(I will get to it)) are the mid range at both speed and health, and finally Strider class (Ronin and Northstar) are the squishy but fast titans that are the hardest to master
*technically Monarch is Vanguard class but in states he’s a Atlas class
Best Pun I’ve seen in awhile 😂
As a G10 Monarch, i definitely recommend using the missle salvo, electric smoke, and health upgrades. I found that Monarch's biggest weakness is that surviving is necessary to get going. With these three perks, you are basically unapproachable. Electric smokes and upgraded missles are insane in close range So you can both defend yourself AND jump other players, particularly ronin and scorch, who would usually dominate. It also helps with getting battery executions. As for the max health upgrade, yes, the chain gun is good, but at range you can not compete with the damage northstar, tone, or legion provide. Also, the other titans (besides northstar rip) all have a shield to defend themselves. Monarch requires usually getting into a gun fight to get shields which means you are usually just netting 0 on health, so the extra health and no crits help increase survival.
Thanks for the tips 💪🏼
Bros a g10 monarch player😂😂
Ion's tripwires plus the zero point kit make them pretty good. The mines aren't actually tripwire, and instead operate as proximity mines. I can't tell you how many times I've plopped some mines in a crowded doorway and gotten a double or triple pilot kill. Another good strategy is to pop an electric smoke and place the mines inside, so any titan that's chasing you to try and execute you has to tank a lot of damage to get to you
For legion, light alloy is almost objective the worst kit for him, while hidden compartment may sound but because its damage reduction, it doesn't matter two shots can get any titan to almost one shot
Not for me. I’ve used all and them and that one is my favorite. My biggest issue with him is his mobility so anything to help speed him up is what I go with.
@@sternwardboss And that's your preference but overall it's better to run Hidden compartment since 15% damage decrease is outdone by the fact that you get two charges of it which makes your burst damage incredibly high and you can push back enemies a good distance
one thing I forgot to add is that Legion's powershot is his most useful ability in any fight close range knocks back while long range it's explosive rounds
I love the Titanfall games. Put well over 1000 hours into TF1 and played TF2 a ton when it came out. I moved on not long after the Monarch’s Reign dlc and haven’t played it in a few years. Recently got back into it and love that the game is back and doing well. Ion was my main Titan and I got pretty good with it, totally fine with it being B tier and in the middle lol. Not instantly targeted like a Monarch or Ronin when ppl see them drop in lol
you forgot to mention that you can lock onto enemys with the salvo core on tone, you can get the tracking effect on his core.
TIL
Excuse me, you can what now? How did I never realize this? Thank you for telling me!
@@Ace_2O2 salvo rockets are flying wherever your crosshair pointed at
@@vana3896 i know that, i just didn’t know the lock on worked with that.
@@Ace_2O2The lock on doesn't do anything for tone's core. I think the original commenter is confused. The rockets only follow your crosshair.
As a Scorch main. The thermite trap isn't really good for a *trap* , its best use is for extra damage. If you can corner an enemy titan, throw down your traps and firewall, then burn them with your heat shield. You'll always delete a titan's entire health bar in seconds. And if you melee when they are at a sliver of health, you'll always get a free termination since by the time your fist hits the enemy, the fire damage from your traps and firewall already got them to doomed state. But that strategy only works effectively with Tempered Plating because you'll be burning with your enemy while fighting them. So i disagree with the titan kit choice but i see where you are coming from with your opinion. overall decent tier list and while i disagree with a few placements, i understand/respect your opinions. (Also if you're seeing this by any chance, sorry for the long rant. Im just extremely passionate about the game)
Thanks for the tips 💪🏼
Ima just presume this is a bait video cause yikes
Yeah you can tell he’s not too familiar with how the titans work.
Like I said in the video it’s my list.
Some of them like Ion still confuse me a bit but what else did I miss?
@@sternwardboss1. Misgendering ion(huge sin it’s my girl💀)
2.not explaining the energy system for ion(you really did ion dirty).ion has a energy system which is stupid but important to her gameplay. Most of her ability’s use the energy on the left of her screen while your in her(sus), and you need energy and cooldawon to use her ability’s
3. Referring the size classes as medium, large instead of atlas and orgre
And I’m literally 4 mins into the vid💀
i love seeing new titanfall2 vids and all but its kinda apparent that you havent really spent enough time on all the titans figuring out their kits and how to utilize them. ion is honestly an s teir titan she just has harder mechanics to master then most the other titans. great video tho!
You misgendering the Titans made me angrier than it should, aka barely angry.
Same, especially my main Northstar
The THERMITE LAUNCHER is the BEST SCORCH KIT?! My guy, you can kill a legion with a single flame shield use from full health!! WTF are you doing with these titans?!
Trap an enemy titan between your incendiary traps, ignite them with the fire wall then torch them with your flame shield. They can do absolutely nothing about it unless they’re a strider class (Northstar can fly over the pit of death, and ronin can phase through you). I’ve aced a whole damn team with this before in LTS, Scorch is a monster in close quarters. Why are you prioritizing his oversized flare gun?
While I'm not going to say that these takes are wrong... I am going to say that you should probably redo this video in the future. Your editing is quite good for such a small channel and it would be nice if you gave some more refined opinions once you got some more seat time in each titans. I'd reccomend waiting until you get all titans to G1.0 as by that time you can get more familiar with each titan's quirks, strengths etc. I think it was most evident that you lacked proper seat time when you kept calling Ronin OP and Ion's traps trash. Overall however good video, unrefined takes 👍
Monarch is really only a significant threat once it gets at least half way to core 2 and is a monster once you let it get to core 3. That being said it is the softest titan in the game defensively so as long as you push it aggressively early on it isn’t really a huge threat to anything other than north star and ronin.
Hey Sternward!
First of all i'd like to say , amazing video quality +1sub from me.
Altough i'd like to give some constructive criticism, i think theres some misconceptions about titan abilities and titan kits (mostly titan abilities) but all in all it was a really enjoyable video.
I hope this doesn’t sound rude or offensive in any way.
All in all great video quality!
Thank you! And you’re not being rude. I’m always down for some constructive criticism.
I am a ronin main, and i can say with a fair amount of confidence that ronin is the hardest titan to use correctly. I have practiced with ronin for 7 years and one strategy I have found that is most effective with him is to focus on one titan at a time, and you have to channel some napoleonic energy, (charge, charge, and charge again)
And even if you die, if you have a team of titans behind you, you have just sowed chaos in the enemy titan lines and have given your team a chance to destroy them all!
(Also, phychopathic laughter is required when you activate sword core)
Thanks for the tips💪🏼 That last sentence is a must 😂
Great video overall but I have to disagree on Northstar. She's at least A-tier overall, S-tier in titan brawl, and hard carries in last titan standing.
Northsar's main strength is dealing unanswered damage by playing around cover with the railgun. In titan brawl she'll regularly match/beat Ronin and Scorch's total damage with 2-3 deaths instead of 5-7. However, playing too passively and camping is a mistake with Northstar. Take advantage of her movement to flank, peek from unexpected angles, and pressure opponents. In LTS I often push aggressively with a Ronin player and hold the last corner while they engage.
In my experience maining Northstar her main weakness is dropping too early when there are no enemy titans, and taking significant damage from pilots. Like Monarch it's often best to wait before calling her in. With backup battery I often can doom the enemy's first titan and have flight core ready with full health.
I’ve been playing her more recently so thanks for the tips💪🏼
As a scorch main I tend to use the tempered plating more than wildfire launcher since it allows more aggressive gameplay, and an aggressive Scorch can at least kill a Titan or two, the block on crits is an added bonus though, which just makes Scorch more tanky and tough.
2024 anybody
Here, this game is still great
Of course.
Great video
@@sjadev Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello, Ronin main here. Um…yes. His kit is very strong in the right hands. None of it is overpowered. Arc wave is by far the strongest ability he has and it compensates for the lackluster damage of his weapon (also it knocks out any defensive ability or any titan instantly, which is a little broken). Phase dash is good, but against skilled players who know Robin’s tricks it can very easily get you killed (try to dash through an enemy and they dash with you, you explode when you phase back on). Sword block can even block the damage from a nuke eject, but I would still say it’s not as good as Tone’s particle wall simply because it’s too active. You can’t do anything while holding it aside from recharge dashes and abilities so it’s more for when you’re disengaging.
Sword core is cool but it SUCKS. The infinite dashes is awesome and the potential damage is insane, but anyone with ears is going to know you’re coming and by the time you have said core, you’re likely close to doomed and are more likely to be executed than actually do much damage.
Edit: also, Northstar kicks his ass. Why the hell did you stick the strongest titan in the game in C tier?
Thunderstorm is tied with temporal anomaly for his strongest kit (unless you’re in frontier defense, then it goes to highlander easily since you can quite literally remain in your sword core for the entire round). Temporal anomaly is much better for survival, thunderstorm is necessary for dealing any significant damage.
Aaaaand monarch is easily more popular than we are. Despite the fact that everyone also hates fighting her.
I think tones rocket salvo got the short end of the stick. It can be curved around anything if used with sonar pulses you can pull off some amazing take downs
@@timhc1303 Ya I did forget to mention that. That’s on me
Alright mate you’re so bloody close, legion is heaps stronger than ya think. His power shot changes depending on what mode you’re in, close range grants a shotgun sneeze that will shave an entire health segment and decimate pilots from stupid range, while the long range power shot is equivalent to a northstar sniper shot. Legion is the perfect titan to harass ronins who get in your face, and northstars who constantly run from you, hes a menace at all ranges. Legions krytonite is Ion, DO NOT shoot his damn shield.
Oh man, Tone's Salvo Core doesn't do a lot of damage. Bruh, I had to chuckle at that. Best strategy you can do with her core is aim straight up, fire all the missiles from behind cover and then move out and aim at anything you want to obliterate. If you time it right you can get the 3 tracker locks to fire a tracking missile barage just as your Salvo Core is hitting from above or behind. The real, "No where to run. No where to hide." Tone is definitely best girl and Scorch and Legion are my S tiers as well.
Personally I don’t think having a titan under G2, or at least to where you have all the kits, gives you any right to rank them. Kits play a lot when I comes to how you use a titan and advising to use the weakest or mid-est of them is just setting new players up to fail.
Here’s what I use for my titans:
Ion: Grand Cannon - longer core, more damage against out of position titans
Scorch: Inferno shield - more damage to close range titans and longer use for stopping damage
Northstar: Viper thrusters - faster when I use my core and hover so less down time for other titans to shred me
Ronin: Thunderstorm - two arch waves, twice the stunning and slowing so more of a hit and run play style
Tone: Rocket barrage - more rockets means more damage and more core charge
Legion: Hidden compartment - two power shots for more damage and more pilot kills if using close range mode
Monarch: Energy thief - do I need to explain why I use this? Faster core build up, battery on execution and it fits with her play style.
It’s a new account and thanks for the tips 💪🏼
@@sternwardbossCap 🧢
One thing to note with Tone is that you can guide the missles in your core attack. Yes, they're slower, but if the enemy titan moves, you can direct them toward it.
Ya I forgot to mention that… I usually like to save it and Launch it right in their faces though 😂
@@sternwardboss I mean, there _is_ very little more terrifying than finding yourself face-to-face with a Tone firing a Salvo core.
That is what made you believe the core ability is bad. Youre using it incorrectly... @@sternwardboss
“Thermite launcher is semi-auto”
“40mm Trackers Rifle is a grenade launcher”
I don’t think this dude knows what a gun is
With the Thermite launcher I made a mistake. I was thinking of the Triple threat upgrade in Frontier defense and the 40mm tracker is technically a grenade launcher. It’s a 40mm high explosive round.
As a legion main, the best kit is Hidden compartment, it allows you to push aggressive titans back, and lets you just blast away pilots easily when in close range mode… which you should basically never switch out of.
Legion pilot here... the powershot is a monster of an ability. Crit spots will remove a bar of health on any titan, at close range mode it'll erase a pilot from existence. Also the powershot is all the barrels firing at once.
very entertaining vid, but i wont lie these are some of the craziest takes theres no way at all youre above gen 6
you right about monarch though easily the strongest titan in the game by a mile
Never let bro cook again
i watched all half of hour and i am not even playing this game but i used to
Jump back in Pilot! 💪🏼
NorthStar is my favourite but I do prefer C as well because of its low health
@@justinarnold4552 I love Northstar but it’s hard for me to play her strengths all the time which is hang back and find angles. I like to be a bit aggressive. Not Ronin and Scorch aggressive but aggressive.
Giving some tips as an G26 Monarch
My kits are: Turbo Engine, and Energy thief
With my upgrades being Arc Rounds, Maelstrom, and XO-16 Accelerator
Monarch is incredibly weak on base drop. Her strength lies in her cores, so when you play monarch, you are playing for survival and longevity.
Using energy thief is great because it builds your core faster, and the battery execution is just a bonus. Also remember that rearm is your best friend. Rearm not only refreshes your tactical abilities but ALSO your dashes. Its why I choose turbo engine, as when used effectively you have 4 dashes in your pocket. Good for easy maneuver, entry, dodges, and escape.
When using rocket salvo, in my personal experience it is the best pilot exterminator. For titans, aim near their feet, even if you don't directly hit them, the splash damage will. This is especially great when dealing with something like a legion with his gun shield up.
And then for energy siphon, if you're not in a fight, *farm literally everything*. Reapers, Spectres, Dropships, Grunts. They ALL will give you shield.
It is also a very good way to engage and disengage other titans, due to the fact that it will slow down and visually impair them.
As for the cores, Arc Rounds and XO-16 Accelerator are my top picks because its your main device for damage output. If able to reach that third core you become a force to be reckoned with. One mag dump on a beefy boy like a legion will melt their shield almost drop their health in half.
For the other upgrades, specifically the missile ones, they aren't bad, but you will do more consistent damage with your main gun than with the missiles. And it's already strong enough to quickly take out any pilot it hits.
Maelstrom on the other hand, it absolutely melts anything and everything that dares to step into it. It is an amazing deterrent for people chasing you, but when learned to use electric smoke offensively it becomes one of your best damage dealers. One thing to remember with electric smoke, the damage stacks on how many you deploy. This is also helped by energy thief because the more cores you get = the more smokes.
(My personal favorite way to use it, is during endgame if the enemy evac dropship is close enough to the ground, is to deploy all my electric smokes at once and watch the health bar drain to zero in a matter of seconds.)
What about missile racks? I like the DPS it provides and helps with her poor Burst DPS, I agree with mealstrom because the smoke is super busted if you get up close, personally I really like superior Chassis because of Beeg health, and the Possibility’s for Titan 1v1s is insane, you get melt 3 titans in 40 seconds but what is your take?
Missile racks is good, I personally just focus into the chain gun because its her main damage dealer
But the one thing with monarch is that she’s very versatile for different play styles, there are few upgrades I’d consider “bad” so it’s all up to the player
@@collinnkingg yeah that’s why I enjoy her
You are definitely using salvo core wrong. Ahoot it into the air and aim at enemy titan, then just let it rain down on them. Its amazing.
I know but for some reason I still always miss 😂. I like to just shoot it directly at them. I’ve been practicing with it though because it’s definitely a skill issue lol
@@sternwardboss I feel you. I try to save it for when I get good positioning and catch somebody from behind. When I do, I just blast them directly with it. It's pretty nuts. I main legion, mostly.
As a Scorch main i must say i was surprised of the ranking of infernal shield. It turns the defensive into an offensive defense and has the potention to melt down an ogre titan with full health and shields to nothing. I never used wildfire launcher and since im starting to main other titans itll take some time until i try it out
This is the equivalent of who let bro hop on the aux 🙏😭
My list in ranking
Tone
Ronin
Northstar
Ion
Monarch
Legion
Scorch
Explanations:
Tone is just too good all around
Ronin is the best when you master him
Northstar does so much damage and has the Joestar Family's secret technique to keep sniping from a distance
Ion is well rounded, can launch attacks strong back, and stop charging enemies with beefy trip mines
Monarch is great when fully upgraded but just that, it's hard to upgrade them, and both before and after they're upgraded all it takes is a good scorch core or
another titan to knock monarch out. However very good mid distance shooter and staying that way with energy zap
Legion is great damage dealer, but vulnerable due to mobility and shield weak point, especially if someone gets behind him
Scorch is a fantastic damage dealer in the right situations, but being a close range Ogre class can make it difficult to close distance especially in large maps where he can just be sniped. However, if he gets behind the enemy team without them knowing it's over for them as he will set them all ablaze form behind, get his core in seconds, and smash them.
However, any titan can beat any other titan, and while this is a ranking it doesn't really mean much because they're all great, work great, and all beat each other. The only exception is if its 6vs6 titan battle and one entire team is Northstars or tones because they will win but become gay in the process because that is the second most gay thing you can do besides spitfire and A-wall every game (If you do this I hate you and I hope you get titan rushed)
Solid List🫡
As a sweaty ronin main I am happy with his placing
For me, I have way too much time in scorch and the best play style I have for him is area denial, and flanking.
For scorch you really want to get behind the enemies.
Pick up the mobile kit it is the best kit for scorch undeniably (in my opinion). The one thing scorch needs is speed and having that extra dash cool down time allows you to close the gap much faster and secure kills. I also play with tempered plating allows you to do so much burst by increasing your survivability, as well as negating all damage from your attacks/traps.
Another cool thing is if you are in a map with low ceilings and a pilot rodeos you shoot the ceiling, then look forward. It kills them instantly.
Ion tripwire almost does almost a full bar of damage and can be free with the kit. Its AOE is outrageously huge and is a menace to any smaller enemies in the general vicinity due to the huge trigger-box and AOE. It even one-shots groups of stalkers.
Tempered plating is a HUGE deal for PvP scorch. Crit-immunity is great. The ability to combo your fire on the ground with your flame shield is plain evil. You deal stupid damage without consequence if you get a good flank. For frontier defense, the wildfire launcher is the GOAT.
Northstar is the second most pilot dependent titan after ronin. Good tactical positioning with northstar is just OP. I would rank Northstar A tier above Ion and Scorch.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm guessing you're a Monarch main because you called ronin the most annoying, or you haven't played much. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only problem with ronin is sword block. Rework it and it would be perfect. Sword core isn't OP because it is FULLY COUNTERABLE BY EVERY TITAN IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!
40mm grenades bending through space to hit the titan is not a thing, you must be new, not a monarch main. The ticks from sonar and from hitting the 40mm cannon are equal except you don't need line of sight for the sonar to work. Tone's core doesn't do the most damage, but is super is easy to hit. You can miss and try again if you need to. Tone is easy to play, but lack potential. I would say same tier as Ion, but not as good as ion.
Legion is, by far, the most misunderstood titan in the game. Long range mode doubles your ammo consumption while only dealing the same damage per shot (you only get half a mag). It is more accurate, but you should use close range as much as possible to keep the lead flying at your enemies.
The power shots are very simple. They shoot one bullet which deals lots of damage. The short range one hits a big area and has knock-back. The long range one is precise and can deal critical damage. It does similar damage to northstar's railgun. Legion is actually a great counter to northstar due to the gun shield and this power shot.
Gun shield is one of my least favorite shields. It blocks a lot of damage, but only lasts a tiny amount of time. Bulwark is almost useless for this reason. You almost never have your shield destroyed with or without it.
You caught on to this: legion's smart core is your primary objective. Smart core doesn't allow for extra DPS, it just makes every bullet hit. The other great thing is that it shuts down nearby pilots trying to damage you while you are distracted by another titan.
The most common kit used with legion is hidden compartment. Alloys is a quality of life thing. Sensor array is just fun. The sleeper pick is extended ammo. With extended ammo, you can get your core without reloading. Open with a power shot, keep shooting, power shot again and boom: infinite ammo time. They never see it coming. You are basically the final boss the campaign was missing. I think legion is equal to northstar.
I hate monarch, but only because of energy thief and arc rounds. Oh, I was right, you are a monarch main AND you lack experience. I've played this game for too long...
I must defend the true best titan weapon: the predator cannon. It is everything legion does, so immediate GOAT gun.
I refuse to give monarch tips. But, pro tip, SHOOT EVERY MONARCH YOU SEE. They expect you to run away. Legion is a great counter due to high burst and sustained damage and being tanky. Killing monarchs needs to be a priority because it is just broken.
Okay, I'll talk about monarch. The only good kits are energy thief and the faster rearm one. Only really use the rearm on if you are doing a missile build, otherwise, 10% faster core is already insane for energy thief along with the opportunity to steal a BAR AND A HALF of health from any titan. Not to mention you can have FOUR dashes as monarch. Energy transfer is weak AF, missile racks are fun but are paper ball compared to extended ammo that deals more damage on average. All yellow upgrades are great and up to personal choice, but the reload speed is cancerous for gun builds. Multi target missiles is actually trash because you have to wait for several locks and the damage increase is nothing compared to the chaingun upgrade. Superior chassis is also a game-ruiner.
No one will ever read this comment, but it was fun anyways.
I just read the whole thing lol. My response would take too long lol. Thanks for the tips 💪🏼 In the process of making an updated Titan tier list video as we speak. Won’t be done for a couple months but going to go into a lot more detail and I have a lot more time with each Titan. Hopefully my next one will be better 💪🏼
@@sternwardboss That sounds like fun.
Tone... Tone is *by far* the most annoying titan in game... The 40mm is an ABSOLUTE MENACE to pilots... especially when you dont know how to outmaneuver it... it took me 3 years to learn that. Also... that particle wall is absolutely toxic in titan 1v1s (unless im in my northstar 🙃)
Flame core can actually go through doomed state and crush peoples hopes and dreams
I know it still pisses me off every time 😂
The gun shield is overpowered? Did you forget that you can’t run, melee, or do anything but shoot while it is active? Or the fact that all they have to do is shoot your shoulders (weak points btw) or shoot your feet to deal damage around it (Northstars are particularly good at this)? Or that it doesn’t block melee damage so a scorch can just melt you by shoving his flame shield into your face while you can do nothing since your gun can’t shoot through said shield? Or that a ronin can just swipe it away with a single arc wave?
And the power shot is the best ability he has. One push of a button and you blow an entire health bar off an enemy titan or disintegrate any pilots you were looking at. Hidden compartment is by far his strongest kit, 15% damage loss per shot for a collective increase of 70% is a very good trade off. You can kill a strider titan in half a magazine with this ability, or an atlas with one full one.
As for Smart Core, yes. It is by far the strongest core in the game. He’s even the only titan who warns the enemy team that his core activates because it’s that powerful.
Northstar main here
I use the viper thrusters because they are a jack of all trade. If I want to keep my distance or run away that helps me a lot, and also if I want to rush an enemy titan, allowing me to have the same speed in vtol than on the ground, but I can ads and charge the gun, and the thrusters make the core fly faster than running so on top of doing lots of damage, you can't escape me or get too close if I'm the other way around.
And the thrusters help me as well to brain the facing titan, paired with electric smoke I make them lose track of me, turning behind a corner and then get back right on their head while they are trying to get closer. Also I use the bonus dash to add even more mobility and allowing me to improve further my ambush playstyle.
I use the double traps in FD, I look vertically as they spread on launch, making them spread even more as they travel more distance, and by turning myself perpendicular to the corridor/lane I'm in that makes 2 traps in one, helping to slow down these nuke titans on the way on top of the electric traps.
I'm a bit more of a camper. I run threat optics with the extra electric smoke. Made a tone and legion leave me alone on homefront because I was hitting them, and they weren't hitting me much.
Bro you've got no idea how happy this makes me.
I've been playing Titanfall for nearly a full decade now!!
Love how he calls all the titans “he” when Tone, Ion, Monarch, and NorthStar have female voices while Scorch, Ronin, and Legion have the male voices XD
Ya ya I know… Been referring to them as men for years. Changing my ways though
Take a shot everytime u hear the word overpowered
I think you’d end up the hospital 😂
As someone who has over 200 days played this tier list was interesting.
We’ll that’s a lot nicer way of putting it than most comments lol
@@sternwardboss it interests me to see how and what people think about each titan lol. What I like you might not like and vice-versa.
When you’re playing with scorch you have to not think of him as beefy zoning titan, you think of him as beefy ronin with zoning capabilities minus phase dash
Figured i'd make a comment on the two titans I use the most this is not to be rude just a general clearing up of certain things.
So for Scorch wildfire launcher isn't typically used when there's 2 options that are just better the first being inferno shield, Inferno shield kit is used due to Scorch's thermal shield be able to do incredible amounts of damage at close range while also eating projectiles for a longer time combined with a gas trap you can do absolutely insane damage the other one which is more for survivability or if you don't want to worry about self damage is tempered plating, you get rid of your weakpoints so you can't get critted by anything and you don't have to worry about stepping in your fire at all. The other Titan is Legion, uh just gonna say straight up that light weight alloy is terrible when Hidden compartment exists as far as I know almost everyone who plays legion me included use Hidden compartment because of how good power shot is. Power shot isn't a rate of fire increase it's a short windup then a burst of bullets for incredible damage the close range version doing knockback and the long range version doing explosive shots, Hidden Compartment is so good because you can spam the ability up close to essentially get a Titan to very low hp the 15% damage decrease is simply not comparable to the upsides you get of having 2 charges of power shot. Like I said at the beginning this isn't meant to be rude or hurtful it's simply meant as a clearing up of things and what is considered to be good or used by those players me included.
I don’t think this guy understands how to play Scorch.
I play him more passively unless I’m on Complex
I main Tone. Arguably, the Salvo core is the best. As long as the enemy titan is close, the Salvo will home onto the enemy. The biggest problem with it is that if a Ronin sneaks up behind you, it will decimate you if you do not have turbo engine titan kit on, (which gives Ion, Tone, Northstar and Ronin an extra boost, while giving Scorch and Legion a considerably lower boost cooldown).
So i also agree with the A tier rating.
I main Tone, and the core is the best, most OP aspect she has. It follows where you are looking, you can shoot the core in the air, look at a titan, and it will track to them. It burst Ronin and Northstar from 100 to fully dead, and pretty much 100 to doomed everyone else. Best core in the game imo. Also, reinforced particle wall is by far the best. Unless you use a core, u ain't breking that wall, its stupid how good it is, even I think it deserves a nerf. Its so broken, i use any other one besides that to cut on the toxicity and out of respect for others. Kill it, its way too good.
Nahh bro running scorch WITHOUT thermal plating is a death wish
I play a lot of tone, i use the 3 shot burst, i am fully aware it isnt the best, id argue it better than the second sonar pulse but what its great at doing is when you know a titan is either coming out from cover or rounding a corner, if you land all three the damage is devastating and you can imidatly follow up with a rocket barrage
5:18 not semi auto, honestly idk what it’s called, actually… it’s called breach loaded(looked up how the martini Henry is loaded)
Ya I got that wrong. I was thinking of the FD version when I was making the video I guess lol
as a silly little northstar main, i like to use threat optics because i can put up an electric smoke as cover while i snipe through it, while the enemies basically have to guess (and usually they guess wrong) as to where i may be. the tether trap nuke eject is also rather silly
🤔 I’ve actually never thought of that! I’ll give it a shot.
Don't know if anyone has said but as an ex-titanfall 2 player, ronin also has a way to insta kill a titan using his phase dash and block, pop ur phase dash and attempt to stand where the other titan is standing and hold ur block, this insta kills the other titan
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ANY SCORCH KIT OTHER THAN INFERNO SHIELD
I know he did say it’s his list man but seriously some of the things just said are objectively wrong
Tripwire is pretty good ability so that kit is one of the better ones for ion. Scorch’s best thing is his flame shield so that makes it even better. Ronin is really strong but only if you are good so he is nowhere near as op as suggested, genuinely ronin is F Tier if you aren’t a really good with him. Tone is ok but really easy to counter if you play it right, his primary damage is the rockets so you can dodge or block them fairly easy with most titans so again not as strong as suggested. The things said about legion are just wrong, legions best but us his power shot at close range so please please please just use hidden compartment because it is the best one, the gun shield is bad you can still hit him when he has it up and alright I’ll give it to him smart core is a decent ability 😂, just note that light weight alloys basically does nothing so don’t bother. Monarch, the energy siphon is useful sometimes but I wouldn’t say it’s op, don’t bother with any first core than arc rounds, maelstrom is better than said but defo go for rearm and reload, don’t use multi lock missiles, it’s a toss up between XO-16 accelerator or superior chassis, whatever your preference is.
Nah
You should of mentioned the aguis rank upgrades (hope I spelled it right) they are really op especially legion and monarch’s as monarch gets a 2nd tier one upgrade when spawned and legion get all of his kits
I left out a lot of things on purpose just to make it easy to understand and not 45 mins long. I’ll make another tier list video next year a bit more in depth
I can't figure if respawn just doesn't feel our interest or what. But I have been waiting for years for a Titanfall 3 as have we all. The Titanfall Universe is unique and interesting. MW and battlefield franchises just don't do it for me. Nothing about apex excites me either. It's the Titans people interested in these games want.
I think after Apex fails we’ll get TF3
if you want to be good at ion, you don't want to use the ADS on the splitter rifle, and instead only spend energy on laser shot and vortex shield, and zero point tripwire gives you another move to just spam in case of a ronin/monarch
I know it drains energy but I like the zoom. Been playing her the past couple nights and trying my best not to💪🏼
@@sternwardboss you can use the laser to zoom, and if you won't hit anything you can cancel it with a melee
Northstar is S tier. Which stands for Sky tier. 😂 Northstar has a small healthpool for a reason. A Northstar with more health would be broken tho.
That range and poke from the plasma. The anti pilot hiding inside & the anti infantry usage of clusters. And the trap can make even close range titans like ronin and scorch think twice about rushing you.
The hover may not be that good as you're very vulnerable in the air but it gives you more options to poke using different rent angles at least.
Her ult isn't great against a single target especially considering how game changing the other titans ukts can be. but it gives you a lot of aoe so you can actually deal with bunch up targets.
She has a Very flexible kit.
Dope video man! Make more titanfall videos
Thank you! And will do💪🏼
Pretty much any titan is a menace in the right hands. It’s so well balanced there’s really no right or wrong answer of who is best as each one has their strengths and weaknesses and can each be effective when used by the right person. Me personally, I really don’t like northstar but I know people who can dominate with it. It really isn’t a case of which is better, but which one you prefer.
