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 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
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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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
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
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
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 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.
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)
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
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.
each titan has a different playstyle that it is suited for, not everone can use all titans well, but most people can use monarch reguardless of what playstyle works for them, for that reson monarch should be the only titan in S rank in my opinion, I work well with assault or tank based loadouts/playstyles myself, so monarch and legion are my top titans, but I do use all of the titans just to see how well I do with them, interesting video btw🙂
Monarch and Tone have always been my main choices but after making this video I honestly use all of them now. I would say I use Tone the most now and Monarch when my team is losing but your right they all have strengths. They’re all really fun to use. It’s really refreshing actually because for the longest time I literally never touched another Titan besides Monarch and Tone and thank you💪🏼
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
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)
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 👍
@@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💀
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
The low health of the northstar class titan is a non-issue, due to her tether traps acting as both a “You’ve fallen into a high-damage zone where you will lose your titan” and a “gtfo my northstar is low” tool. Cluster missile can be used to deal chip damage on tethered titans to deter them while you charge your shots for high damage. With both the stryders, speed is life. Also arc wave only stuns titans without a shield
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)
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
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
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.
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).
For an instance like that yes but most games especially nowadays is Attrition. I know a lot of people think the Tripwire is good I just personally never thought it was. It’s really only good for a Titan rushing you and even then most skilled Pilots just stop and shoot it lol
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
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 🙃)
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
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
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 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
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
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
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
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 :(

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.
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😴🙏

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.
It seems we both run scorch very differently. I use him as a melee death machine.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
As someone with a G22 Scorch
Wildfire launcher is *not* Scorch’s best kit, it’s not even close.
“I think his ult sucks”
Proceeds to instantly doom a full health Northstar with said ult.
“Wildfire Launcher is the best scorch kit” bro lmfao
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
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.
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
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 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
Best Pun I’ve seen in awhile 😂
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
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
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
Never let bro cook again
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😂😂
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 💪🏼
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
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.
each titan has a different playstyle that it is suited for, not everone can use all titans well, but most people can use monarch reguardless of what playstyle works for them, for that reson monarch should be the only titan in S rank in my opinion, I work well with assault or tank based loadouts/playstyles myself, so monarch and legion are my top titans, but I do use all of the titans just to see how well I do with them, interesting video btw🙂
Monarch and Tone have always been my main choices but after making this video I honestly use all of them now. I would say I use Tone the most now and Monarch when my team is losing but your right they all have strengths. They’re all really fun to use. It’s really refreshing actually because for the longest time I literally never touched another Titan besides Monarch and Tone and thank you💪🏼
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
You misgendering the Titans made me angrier than it should, aka barely angry.
Same, especially my main Northstar
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 😂
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.
13:00 gave buddy all the time in the world to reload 😭😭😭
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 👍
This is the equivalent of who let bro hop on the aux 🙏😭
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💀
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.
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.
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💪🏼
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.
2024 anybody
Here, this game is still great
Of course.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Flame core can actually go through doomed state and crush peoples hopes and dreams
I know it still pisses me off every time 😂
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!
i watched all half of hour and i am not even playing this game but i used to
Jump back in Pilot! 💪🏼
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
Take a shot everytime u hear the word overpowered
I think you’d end up the hospital 😂
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
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.
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.
“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.
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 🧢
Nahh bro running scorch WITHOUT thermal plating is a death wish
As a sweaty ronin main I am happy with his placing
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.
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.
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?
Great video
@@sjadev Thank you 🙏🏼
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
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.
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.
Blud doesn't know how to play scorch 💀💀💀
Facts bro
I don’t think this guy understands how to play Scorch.
I play him more passively unless I’m on Complex
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.
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
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.
The low health of the northstar class titan is a non-issue, due to her tether traps acting as both a “You’ve fallen into a high-damage zone where you will lose your titan” and a “gtfo my northstar is low” tool. Cluster missile can be used to deal chip damage on tethered titans to deter them while you charge your shots for high damage. With both the stryders, speed is life. Also arc wave only stuns titans without a shield
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🫡
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
Bro you've got no idea how happy this makes me.
I've been playing Titanfall for nearly a full decade now!!
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
that titanfall 1 music in the background really brought me back
Titanfall 1 will always have a special place in my heart
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
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.
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.
Isn’t the tripwire really good for dropping on objectives because the radius for the blast is huge and instant kills pilots
For an instance like that yes but most games especially nowadays is Attrition. I know a lot of people think the Tripwire is good I just personally never thought it was. It’s really only good for a Titan rushing you and even then most skilled Pilots just stop and shoot it lol
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
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 🙃)
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
“Doesn’t do a lot of damage”
