Phase shouldnt be used as an escape, it should be used as a reposition. If you take major damage from an enemy behind you, then you can pop phase shift, run backwards for a bit and then kill the enemy in the back while they’re wondering why you havent appeared yet. They never expect it
It’s funny how the holo pilot ability is significantly more useful than Mirages decoys in Apex legends, despite the decoys being basically the same mechanic but with more things added to it
I think it would be super fun and more usefull if the Holo made the Pilot look like a grunt (with a few telltale sighns that its a pilot, like a fuzzy face and the jumpkit sticking out).
Apex is slower, less chaotic, passive, and has longer ttk All of this makes Mirage's holo sort of lose some of rhe ideal scenarios to use his kit except close quarters ult
@@EmmetTheSeali love this comment 😂😂 Like ppl be saying that Apex is fast but Fortnite is not? You got players cranking 90s at light speeds and Apex is fast paced? No BR is fast. BR is a shit genre that should not even be on the market nowadays. Although the recent Mirage buffs do change this comparison in the favor of my boy himself.
Yeah I just noticed that and checked mods and saw that midair executions is a mod sadly, Would be kinda odd to use an a wall mid air or curb stomping someone on air
I like Grapple for weird micromovements and big slingshots with double jump. Best peice of advice is just don't let yourself go in a straight line when being pulled. For that reason, I don't grapple without my double jump super often. I can understand why some people don't like it, as it takes a lot to learn and is a lot slower to start up than stim.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The speed you can get from double jumping during grappling is one of the main reasons I use it, plus it’s good for getting into cheeky spots for flanks or ambushes. One little tip for other grapple pilots, shoot your grapple where your titan lands just as it’s about to land. Makes embarking so much quicker if you need to get into a fight fast.
Yea I love using it for weird micro movements, the uptime is really good when you only use short grapples. The best part about using grapple though, is snagging a pilot ejecting from their titan
As a pulse main, I tend to use the ability in tandem with my radar. The idea is to see where a group of enemies lie, and then be able to see each individual enemy in that specific location with the pulse blade. Also, there are a surprising amount of people that don't use map hack when in the game. It also compliments my electric smoke so I could throw that down and see where my enemies are through it.
A boost you can activate like amped weapons or explosive ticks where when you activate map hack, all enemies on the map are revealed for a little bit@@juhumamamam3768
For me grapple is my favourite ability to use when in a 1v1 situation because when used for short grapples, the grapple essentially becomes a dash ability so you can Neo circles around the enemy team. Also slingshotting is just superior sorry not sorry
I'm a Pulse Blade main who isn't good enough to consistently get kills with the blade itself, and I use it simply for the awareness it provides. Being able to see how many pilots are in the area and where they are allows you to get an advantageous position with ease. Whether it be just waiting around the corner and firing at them the instant they appear, or sneaking your way to an angle they're not expecting and gun them down while they're looking elsewhere. Also, I'm blind as a bat. Even with Titanfall generously highlighting enemy pilots, I still struggle to see and track them. Being able to just throw down the pulse blade and look at the radar makes things easier for me.
I just love grapple, makes the game into a military shooter version of attack on titan and its just the most fun ability imo. Dunno about its effectiveness but in titanfall im all about what feels the most fun to use
actually a wall is a B since it's a misunderstood class, u should play it as ppl doesn't expect u will be using it, as example: u could use it when there's sweaty players with cars or smgs or shotguns that are just being annoying, grab a wall and once u engage them just deploy ur shield in their face and they will not be able to kill u, just run or outmanuver you. other situation is that if u r being engage deploy ur shield and u will win the fight. a a wall is great in those situations when the enemy forces are just too sweaty and u need a tactical advantage. at least i use it like that and works a bunch so :p. besides i use to counter tryhards and kraber nerds so yea, good gadget.
Yeah I use to main the a wall pilot and use him like a gigachad without camping at the top of the map with a spitfire. I would pop it for 1v1s and if the enemy did a lot of damage to me I would drop it and kill them. It’s a pocket uno reverse card if used right.
I’d prbly say C more than a B, while all those points I do agree the shield cool-down is so long, the throwing animation is a little bit too slow, and some floors just deny it from being used
If you want to, you can place an a wall about Titan height and shoot ronins shots through it (I’m pretty sure it’s one of the only Titan weapons that can be amped and by the largest amount)
I feel like A-Wall can be amazing if you just use it for hit and run or keepimg yourself safe whne turning a corner, or just quickly blitzing enemies. You just got jumped by one or multiple enemy pilots and NEED to kill them quick? Slap down A-Wall and turn them into a red paste, then hit the dash to wherever you gotta be so badly. Don't feel confident approaching a certain sightline? Slap down A-Wall and slide behind it to see if its safe, then proceed as needed. Need to deal big damage to an enemy titan fast? Slap A-Wall in a doorway and laser down the titan with a charge rifle. Its so much more than a camping tool and I wish more people understood that.
For me grapple is high A - low S. You can reach speeds like with stim or grav star but more often plus you can access many more places (to spitfire camp on high ground for example)
You take grenades with Cloak, it lets you get maximum of 3 kills before your cloak goes out and it's bloody amazing. It's a combo made in heaven. It's definitely not JUST a titan-terror. Of course you need to be wall-running and position yourself properly cuz the cloak's still visible for the most parts but when you're above enemies cooking up a grenade while cloaked, it's usually not an issue.
Personally I like to use a-wall with the smr. The speed and ease with which it melts titans is disgusting and it activates my neurones. Then again, I just like the smr in general.
I unironically use phase to give titans ptsd. it’s funny to see a titan, shoot em with an mgl while up close, phase right before they melee or shoot, and then reposition and use holo pilot nova boost until they rethink every phase pilot is a holo nova boost
As a Cloak Pilot main, I use that one skill that hides your jump kit’s boost fire from titans. (Please forgive me for forgetting the specifics of it) It makes you pretty much unseeable, and therefore leaves you feeling some nice accomplishment due to now having hundreds of titan kills. I think the Cloak gives up it’s potential to join in on the pilot tactical cat fight in order to take on titans, it’s definitely got pros and cons cause of that. BUT, for sure a great pilot class to use in Frontier Defense, especially when doing nuke rodeos.
I know this is a fairly old video by now, but as a cloak main I can definitely agree with the placement you gave it, it just lacks heavily for pilot vs. pilot combat, so it’s best used if you have the skill to balance out that lack of power
A-wall is so funny to watch make people mad, I just run around with a g2 and a wall, place it down, and watch these dudes run straight at me, before they get melee'd and scream in chat about how "broken" A-wall is. sure, it's annoying if your camping, but if you're just going to run straight at the person it's kinda your fault for dying.
It baffles me when I get engaged, go around a corner and pop one and they fall for it. I’ll peek out and do it again, and when the holo goes out I pop out as well. Something so simple yet ive never had a failure with it some how. I also use the three decoys and sometimes when I’m running up on a titan i’ll just pop all 5 and absolutely fuck around with the titan lol.
@@EmmetTheSeal 2 Simple Steps. 1. Hate your life. 2. Spend hundreds of hours straight using stim and then swap to pulse blade to get used to no speed boost, then get addicted to the pulse blade.
@@EmmetTheSeal The pleasure of getting a direct hit, which for someone with aim like mine, is damn near impossible. That and seeing people through walls without having to get off dice roll.
@@EmmetTheSealI use pulse blade and main it. Its simple. I usually main it with things like alternator and wallhang to be able to quickly sit to a spot, throw a blade, notice the enemies, and get to them. Its also an instant kill, and helps for your teammates too. Its really underestimated. Also if my ability is down, my resolve is to get near a titan or other teammates and go from there
Im a grapple main… its hard to use if you dont play smart… using your grapple to get tactical advantage in shootouts and unexpected movement (ei. Using a friendly titan to swing around behind a enemy titan) Is a good way to play. Camera manipulation is a factor to determine how far you swing,where you land, how fast to go.
I like the versatility of the grapple. Not only can I go across half the map in seconds, I can easily mount titans, get a nice sniper perch without having to do stairs or wall run parkour, and it’s overall just satisfying to use even when I don’t have to
I find your placemet of phase quite interesting. While yes, it is a pretty good panic button and can cause surprises similar to a unseen cloak pilot, dealing with your average pub phase pilot has been rather simple in my experience. Just check where their particles point when phasing, and ready your grenade or weapon on their expected exit point. Since phase always has the same time duration and unless they do a fancy nade-boost, they will almost always exit out of it at the same distance. Also, this was a very fun video to watch :D
i use the a-wall exclusively to guarantee a longer range one shot kill with a mastiff or EPG, I don't use it often and i dont camp when I do, also helps when using anti-tank. I do agree with the placement, however
I feel like pulse blade gets more hate than its deserved. Sure, you can have wall hack, but when you can pull off a clip on someone from using a simple ability AND marking enemies near? It’s about as useful as the radar ping on the ballistic shield from COD ghosts. It’s really good and I don’t see many people other than yours truly playing it anymore
This may be controversial but I kinda like A-Wall. The way I use A-Wall is very different to how he describes it. Instead I play like normal and if I’m caught in close quarters I throw it down and delete the enemy. Also if I see and enemy titan I throw it down for a lil cover and a lil extra damage then when they notice me I just dip outta there. Don’t get me wrong, it is a max of B tier because it INCENTIVIZES hiding in a corner, but more so because you can’t cancel it. I use it like I use Ronin, hit hard, get out fast, but it just stills there for 10 seconds after I’m gone. Because of that it’s getting a B tier in my book. (Btw I normally use the R-99 with it so you can’t touch me with that Spitfire hate)
Holo main here, yeah I kinda don't ever use abilities like Grapple, Stim, or Phase-- They're good and I respect a good pilot with them but like there's just something so fun about misdirecting a titan while whittling away at their health around cover and coming up with a new strategy to confuse them every turn. Stacking Novas and having a total of 12 pilots all fall to the ground after a titan eject is extremely fun.
I used pulse dagger in the beginning but switched to the holo pilot. The piolet has a greater functionality if used properly. That and it's great when an enemy pilot kills a hologram only to be killed by the real deal
Having good pilot fundamentals and playing invis with satchels is how ive been playing the game from the start. Cloaker with alternator and an amped mgl for bullying titans hasnt stopped working for me.
low b tier is a bit criminal for grapple, kinda making your point of how you'll get executed for the grapple ranking lmao but going at actually 100 kph while tapstrafing w/ wallkicks literally makes you unkillable with the speed. Nice video tho was entertaining to see a perspective of another player
I'm a grapple main and for me it's an ectara degree of freedom whilst being able to go fast it's more useful when you get use to it, and pulse is just bragging rights if you kill someone in the air at mach 7 on a drive by
Me personally grapple is S tier although ive had a bunch of practice cause pathfinder is one of my favourite characters so take as you will but i think its versatility makes it s tier. Instant height, repositioning or even running away
i know this is a good game, and I've seen gameplay, but i am both lucky and unlucky for being born in 2009. i have no clue what the story is about, and i can easily go blind and enjoy it, but with it in its state, it makes me sad that i won't get to experience it in its prime
I used to use grapple but now i use stim and phase more because they are better for getting away and with stim you can use it in conjunction with gravity star to get some insane speed which is good for bounty hunt on homestead etc etc.
I just like having the "get out of death free card." But you would be suprised it takes an eternity to activate. And yes frags are my primary weapon. 😂
Grapple is better than stim, you can reach the same speed but you also can have vertical mobility with grapple, grappling a titan automatically embarks/climbs to it you can also grapple to other pilots. It is a must have in the map Rise since you need to go up to touch the corridors The only downside is the long cooldown but that could be negated with gun mods.
Full honesty I started out never using holo pilot only using him to get his execution but then I stuck with him and I actually pulled a few high speed bamboozles and now he’s my main pilot💀
I definitely wouldn't say that stim is the most popular pilot across the board. It's definitely the most popular pilot for new players but seasoned players often go for the grapple. The speeds you can reach with a double jump sling shot is ridiculous. Plus there are tons of micro movements you can make with a grappling hook.
Phase and stim most used are usually use fees after seeing this tells me a lot I get his papa steam and get out of there off of the same thing with phase
PHASE IF YOU CATCH THEIR SHIFT YOU KNOW WERE THEY WILL POP OUT AND THE TIME PLUS YOU CAN FAST HEAL OR LOW PRO WITH GRAPPLE MORE EFFECTIVELY THANNOT AND FLY BEHIND ENEMY LINES WAY FASTER AND HIGHER THEN OTHER PIOLTS
Phase is my main and I always use it to counter an ambush, being able to SHIFT the odds into your favor is really powerfull, this includes when your about to be hit by a granade, titan explosion, etc...
Quote of the day " I mean who dosen't love hard scoping with the spitfire at the highest point of the map, beaming down enemies when they can't shoot you back." "Oh GeE yOuR cOcK iS sO mAsSiVe, I cAn SeE iT fRoM hErE!"
ngl pulse blade makes the game more fast paces than grapple or stim for me around halfway through a game it feels like theres only a few pilits left without titans, so throwing a pulse blade into areas they might/should be saves way more time than even using a stim or grapple to check the areas
I have a playstyle i call loki i mostly like to melee and execute and holopilot is godly for corners. Just run a corner send a holo and hide behind the wall. They run past and you get an execution. Especially with the "get to the point" finisher it is quick and uses a dagger ..... like loki.
I think A wall being F tier is a little harsh, but as an A wall (I hate the spitfire btw and prefer the double take or kraber) main it is undeniable that at first glance it seems best to just camp in one location the whole game, but where it really shines is as a bullet sponge! just pop it down if you're losing a fight and bam! turn the fight around instantly, in hindsight that sounds very annoying to fight but oh well, just don't camp and say A wall is bad or I will find you.
To be fair to a-wall rooftop control is crucial and setting up in a building to sneak an anti-titan barrage on a wounded titan and killing them before they can eject, is difficult but satisfying
All these people over here saying grapple is an A or even S tier ability, and I’m over being like “Nah, this guy was being nice with his ranking”. For me, grapple is a high C tier at best. You’ve already mentioned that it sucks in an engagement, but it also hinders your movement. It promotes ignoring half the map for the sake moving just as fast as a guy that actually knows the movement system. I understand its beginner friendly, easy access to fast movement and all that, but it reinforces the idea that you don’t need to know the movement to be fast. And on top of all of this, you don’t have to improve much with grapple. Once you know when to jump and how to move your camera, you’ll just go fast. At least with stim you have to know some moment mechanics in order to be faster than someone air strafing after a wall kick. To sum it all up, grapple promotes that idea that you can just ignore that complex movement in TF|2, and is generally less skillful than other pilot classes (yes, even A-wall). P.S.: This speaking out of clear competitiveness. If you enjoy grapple casually or just enjoy cosplaying as spider man, that’s fine. I ain’t here to dog on your parade. Fun is fun no matter what language you speak. But I’m tired of people reinforcing the idea that grapple is god’s gift to titanfall when it really isn’t. And I will die on this hill if I have to. Other than that, go have fun out there pilots.
Summed it up pretty good :3 I have played a lot more grapple recent, and it’s good for a faster game, but despite that I don’t win more I just am averagely faster which if you want go for jt
I use phase for several reasons. Phase is My combat reload My reposition tool My free movement cover My confusion tool My op as fuck avoid all damage. Tatics: in small corridors I throw down smoke, run back through it and appear behind the pilot chasing me. With the satchels being allowed to place them down, phase and then blow them makes would be suicide kills mostly free, my personal main use is nuke titan under an overhang, "oh shit, I'm gonna nuke myself" just phase just before it goes off and suddenly you've taken everyone with you and now you have a clear area to reposition.
I like to wait until I already have my titan ready before I steal one. I tell my titan to drop right next to the enemy, hop on and if all goes well you hop off with the battery right into your dome shield as it hits the ground. If you're really lucky it'll fall right on him.
@@InMaTeofDeath I use it to charge a titan super fast. Stealing a battery gets you like 20-30% titan charge and if you give your ally a battery its like 40%. And then i just use extra battery boost for my own titan when i dont have a battery.
Phase shouldnt be used as an escape, it should be used as a reposition. If you take major damage from an enemy behind you, then you can pop phase shift, run backwards for a bit and then kill the enemy in the back while they’re wondering why you havent appeared yet. They never expect it
Good point, phase rn is my fav on north star serves cos in a lot of the servers you can use it as a jump it’s rly cool
Thats how i use it

I use grapple a lot because when you use it correctly you go very fast and very fast=very good
This may be controversial but I kinda like A-Wall. The way I use A-Wall is very different to how he describes it. Instead I play like normal and if I’m caught in close quarters I throw it down and delete the enemy. Also if I see and enemy titan I throw it down for a lil cover and a lil extra damage then when they notice me I just dip outta there.
Don’t get me wrong, it is a max of B tier because it INCENTIVIZES hiding in a corner, but more so because you can’t cancel it. I use it like I use Ronin, hit hard, get out fast, but it just stills there for 10 seconds after I’m gone. Because of that it’s getting a B tier in my book.
(Btw I normally use the R-99 with it so you can’t touch me with that Spitfire hate)
Holo main here, yeah I kinda don't ever use abilities like Grapple, Stim, or Phase-- They're good and I respect a good pilot with them but like there's just something so fun about misdirecting a titan while whittling away at their health around cover and coming up with a new strategy to confuse them every turn. Stacking Novas and having a total of 12 pilots all fall to the ground after a titan eject is extremely fun.
I used pulse dagger in the beginning but switched to the holo pilot. The piolet has a greater functionality if used properly. That and it's great when an enemy pilot kills a hologram only to be killed by the real deal
Holo Pilot is hands down the best pilot😎
a legendary opinion
You dropped this 👑
@@RowanMakesMemes nice username 👑
As a phase main I can say with %100 certainty it does not deserve s tier.
2:00 We Krabber mains barely hit anything, and whenever we hit something, it's exactly a hollow pilot
Thanks for the laugh, a laugh with tears
Having good pilot fundamentals and playing invis with satchels is how ive been playing the game from the start. Cloaker with alternator and an amped mgl for bullying titans hasnt stopped working for me.
I have got an idea
The Survey the IDB has conducted reveals that Grapple is by far the most played Pilot class
Who on earth is IDB
Ok pulse may be bad but trolling with gravity star+sonar kill is so fun
I mostly use a-wall for anti-titan warfare, but once I'm done or need to reposition, I don't hesitate to leave the wall behind
The biggest advantage of grapple pilot is that it has the coolest helmet(imo) and it is the helmet which is used in the game's campaign.
Lowkey I just play the coolest looking character in games 💀
low b tier is a bit criminal for grapple, kinda making your point of how you'll get executed for the grapple ranking lmao but going at actually 100 kph while tapstrafing w/ wallkicks literally makes you unkillable with the speed. Nice video tho was entertaining to see a perspective of another player

I'm a grapple main and for me it's an ectara degree of freedom whilst being able to go fast it's more useful when you get use to it, and pulse is just bragging rights if you kill someone in the air at mach 7 on a drive by
Me personally grapple is S tier although ive had a bunch of practice cause pathfinder is one of my favourite characters so take as you will but i think its versatility makes it s tier. Instant height, repositioning or even running away
like the amount of times u executed midair is like more than 3
NICE JOB!!!
:3
8:05 this is the coolest f’ing finisher I’ve ever seen like the way bro had the ark star there to just… just 🤌🏽
Glad to see people enjoying the game again and having personal preferences / opinions
3:09 that mid air execution was clean 😂
i know this is a good game, and I've seen gameplay, but i am both lucky and unlucky for being born in 2009.
i have no clue what the story is about, and i can easily go blind and enjoy it, but with it in its state, it makes me sad that i won't get to experience it in its prime
I used to use grapple but now i use stim and phase more because they are better for getting away and with stim you can use it in conjunction with gravity star to get some insane speed which is good for bounty hunt on homestead etc etc.
Dont have to get away if you kill the enemy.
Grapple is by far the best your able to get heaps of speed right off the start and if you mess something up like a wallrun then you can just fix it
bro do you like any of the tacticals the game has? gd you only spoke well of holopilot and slightly phase
Okay I have changed my mind slightly it’s just that I think they don’t tickle my brain that makes me feel like I truly deserved a kill
As a holo main, I picked him as a beginner because he looked cool, stayed with him because he's awesome to play even though he is not all that useful.
Okay them on Northstar it gives you a power trip
Grapple is a gift from Gods of speed to us earthbound mortals. I will die on this swing.
I hate when I know it’s a hologram but my brain still makes me shoot it anyway
Once you use stim for a long time, you can’t use any other pilot because you’re so used to the GAS GAS GAS
I just like having the "get out of death free card." But you would be suprised it takes an eternity to activate. And yes frags are my primary weapon. 😂
3:08 can we talk about how good that air hit was ?
Grapple is better than stim, you can reach the same speed but you also can have vertical mobility with grapple, grappling a titan automatically embarks/climbs to it you can also grapple to other pilots. It is a must have in the map Rise since you need to go up to touch the corridors
The only downside is the long cooldown but that could be negated with gun mods.
I feel crippled without grapple
Full honesty I started out never using holo pilot only using him to get his execution but then I stuck with him and I actually pulled a few high speed bamboozles and now he’s my main pilot💀
Yaaaaaah, phase!
Yea they get it ^^^
Love the EPG
I definitely wouldn't say that stim is the most popular pilot across the board. It's definitely the most popular pilot for new players but seasoned players often go for the grapple. The speeds you can reach with a double jump sling shot is ridiculous. Plus there are tons of micro movements you can make with a grappling hook.
Uber based Holo main
I was just running around holo mastif today was beautiful
OMG VAFFLEBOLE APPEARED IN A VID, my fav dude on titanfall
Was it a player in game?
@@EmmetTheSeal Yes, you killed him lmfao
Never forget vafflebole, may they rest in peace
as a stim pilot, i am not ranked so that means im either the best or the worst
Holo pilot also looks the coolest
Phase and stim most used are usually use fees after seeing this tells me a lot I get his papa steam and get out of there off of the same thing with phase
PHASE IF YOU CATCH THEIR SHIFT YOU KNOW WERE THEY WILL POP OUT AND THE TIME
PLUS YOU CAN FAST HEAL OR LOW PRO WITH GRAPPLE MORE EFFECTIVELY THANNOT AND FLY BEHIND ENEMY LINES WAY FASTER AND HIGHER THEN OTHER PIOLTS
Phase is my main and I always use it to counter an ambush, being able to SHIFT the odds into your favor is really powerfull, this includes when your about to be hit by a granade, titan explosion, etc...
Quote of the day " I mean who dosen't love hard scoping with the spitfire at the highest point of the map, beaming down enemies when they can't shoot you back."
"Oh GeE yOuR cOcK iS sO mAsSiVe, I cAn SeE iT fRoM hErE!"
as a a wall main i agree i use the mozambeak and the a wall its fun if you dont camp i usallly use it with the charge hack charge rifle to kill titans
I forgot why i play holopilot until now
i like to mess with people of course, who wouldn't wanna mess with people.
Well, when you encounter me, and I GRAPPLE away without dieing by you, then you'll wish you'd haven't gone against me, haha!!! 😂
ngl pulse blade makes the game more fast paces than grapple or stim for me
around halfway through a game it feels like theres only a few pilits left without titans, so throwing a pulse blade into areas they might/should be saves way more time than even using a stim or grapple to check the areas
I have a playstyle i call loki i mostly like to melee and execute and holopilot is godly for corners. Just run a corner send a holo and hide behind the wall. They run past and you get an execution. Especially with the "get to the point" finisher it is quick and uses a dagger ..... like loki.
I think A wall being F tier is a little harsh,
but as an A wall (I hate the spitfire btw and prefer the double take or kraber) main
it is undeniable that at first glance it seems best to just camp in one location the whole game,
but where it really shines is as a bullet sponge! just pop it down if you're losing a fight and bam! turn the fight around instantly,
in hindsight that sounds very annoying to fight but oh well, just don't camp and say A wall is bad or I will find you.
To be fair to a-wall rooftop control is crucial and setting up in a building to sneak an anti-titan barrage on a wounded titan and killing them before they can eject, is difficult but satisfying
To be fair to cloaking, it does still give 100% camo to pilots. Its very strong in heated battlefields and long distances.
i use grapple only to get into windows on some maps, or go around walls and smack pilots unexpectadly
personally i play pulse, not cuz of the blade, just cuz of how cool the helmet looks
i swear if holo pilot is in f im unsubscribing
You will not be disappointed
@@EmmetTheSeal this video has activated my holographic neurons, that was very cash money of you
All these people over here saying grapple is an A or even S tier ability, and I’m over being like “Nah, this guy was being nice with his ranking”. For me, grapple is a high C tier at best. You’ve already mentioned that it sucks in an engagement, but it also hinders your movement. It promotes ignoring half the map for the sake moving just as fast as a guy that actually knows the movement system. I understand its beginner friendly, easy access to fast movement and all that, but it reinforces the idea that you don’t need to know the movement to be fast. And on top of all of this, you don’t have to improve much with grapple. Once you know when to jump and how to move your camera, you’ll just go fast. At least with stim you have to know some moment mechanics in order to be faster than someone air strafing after a wall kick. To sum it all up, grapple promotes that idea that you can just ignore that complex movement in TF|2, and is generally less skillful than other pilot classes (yes, even A-wall).
P.S.:
This speaking out of clear competitiveness. If you enjoy grapple casually or just enjoy cosplaying as spider man, that’s fine. I ain’t here to dog on your parade. Fun is fun no matter what language you speak. But I’m tired of people reinforcing the idea that grapple is god’s gift to titanfall when it really isn’t. And I will die on this hill if I have to. Other than that, go have fun out there pilots.
Summed it up pretty good :3
I have played a lot more grapple recent, and it’s good for a faster game, but despite that I don’t win more I just am averagely faster which if you want go for jt
I use phase for several reasons. Phase is
My combat reload
My reposition tool
My free movement cover
My confusion tool
My op as fuck avoid all damage.
Tatics: in small corridors I throw down smoke, run back through it and appear behind the pilot chasing me. With the satchels being allowed to place them down, phase and then blow them makes would be suicide kills mostly free, my personal main use is nuke titan under an overhang, "oh shit, I'm gonna nuke myself" just phase just before it goes off and suddenly you've taken everyone with you and now you have a clear area to reposition.
I mostly use grapple & stim, but im starting to dabble with holopilot & phase shift abit more.
5:55 you offended like 30% of the community
If you use holo correctly it will result in the funniest kills imaginable
as some one who uses a wall I've never thought of using it that way I've always used it for anti titan
I would put cloak in S tier since its so easy to spawn a titan when using it. Rodeo, get the battery, do some damage and you get a titan.
I like to wait until I already have my titan ready before I steal one. I tell my titan to drop right next to the enemy, hop on and if all goes well you hop off with the battery right into your dome shield as it hits the ground. If you're really lucky it'll fall right on him.
@@InMaTeofDeath I use it to charge a titan super fast. Stealing a battery gets you like 20-30% titan charge and if you give your ally a battery its like 40%. And then i just use extra battery boost for my own titan when i dont have a battery.
3:09 Holy SHIT that was sick
Welp. I think we just might be back.
A-Wall isn't entirely useless, it's good for titan work in frontier defense if you SOMEHOW don't have your titan nearby
Stim gives me a goddamn power trip (or speed trip) and I love it so much for how quick I can go
