Titanfall 2 Best Titans (Ranked)

 





Titanfall 2 had a massive resurgence of players at the beginning of September 2022, reaching a peak player count of 21,000 at one point, briefly overtaking other Triple A First-Person Shooter behemoths such as ARMA 3, and Battlefield 5. The newfound interest in Titanfall 2 was thanks in part to the Steam Sale, which pushed the price of the game to $4.79. These two factors successfully attracted both new players and dedicated veterans back into the game.
Despite strangely never achieving the mainstream legacy and reputation it deserves, Titanfall 2 has been an FPS underdog since its inception. No other game gives the player the feeling of true mobility and skill expression in a multiplayer arena setting. Wall running while activating your speed boost to catch the enemy pilot around the corner, or executing a cross-map grappling hook to flank multiple pilots with your Spitfire LMG is a satisfaction that no other game can replicate.
As a new player, pilot on pilot combat follows the modern shooter formula of fast Time-To-Kill Call Of Duty formula with all weapons being balanced and viable. Once a certain time has been reached, pilots have the opportunity to call in their titans. These titans are, by design, insanely overpowered to the point where only other titans can kill another titan, and incredibly fun as a result. For new players, choosing 1 of 7 titans all with their own meta kits and loadouts can be an information overload as each titan is distinct to each other, coupled with the many choices of loadout options, some new players may stick only to the default Ion as she is marketed as the beginner titan. In this article, the titans will be ranked by their combat ability. This does not mean that the lowest or highest ranked titans are superior to others; rather, all titans are viable as long as you play to their strengths. Titanfall 2 is ultimately a casual game meant to be played for fun. There is no professional league and only minimal skill-based matchmaking. 7. Scorch
Although she is placed at the bottom of the list, Scorch should never be underestimated, especially in close quarters combat. Scorch’s tankiness and huge burst damage can easily make quick work of any titan or pilot. Armed with a Titan’s version of a flare gun, which functions less as a primary and more as a method to carpet surfaces with thermite. Her ordinance deploys a small wall of fire that travels in the direction Scorch is looking. Similar in design to Caustic’s gas traps in Apex Legends, Scorch’s tactical throws down a barrel of gas, which can be ignited to spread fire in an area by his primary, ordinance, or defensive shield. Which brings us to arguably her best ability: Thermal Shield. When activated, Thermal Shield or commonly known as Heat Shield, will stop and destroy incoming fire as well as deal heavy damage to enemies that come too close. The kits available to Scorch all change her playstyle, and one specifically removes self-damage taken from abilities that most players take: Tempered Plating. Veterans opt for other kits, but I strongly recommend Tempered Plating for new players. Scorch’s biggest weakness is range. She has neither offensive capabilities nor mobility to close the distance ever since her inception, which isn’t a bad thing, it pushes Scorch players to a playstyle of sticking to corners and being an ambush titan in larger maps. For close range maps, Scorch is instantly the number 1 titan, as all of her damage from abilities stacks, making her the titan with the fastest time to kill. Her beefy 5 pools of HP are a great bonus on top. Selecting Overcore or Counter Ready as the pilot kit is a great offensive and defensive choice. What Scorch Excels In Close quarters combat Low ranged abilities and a slow projectile primary weapon pushes Scorch as the premiere dueling titan in close quarters. High burst damage All of her damage over time abilities stack on top of her already high damage numbers. Defensive capabilities With 5 units of HP and a shield that destroys all incoming projectiles, Scorch can easily hold her ground. Titan and pilot killer Burst damage and large area of effect abilities make Scorch the best at killing titans and pilots. Choose Scorch if the maps have many corners, forcing titans to engage in short distance fights. Scorch Full Details: T-203 Grenade Launcher: A single shot projectile that, upon impact, detonates five to nine thermite pools. Great for carpeting areas, harassing titans, detonating traps, not so much for killing pilots.
Firewall: A ground based ability that sends a line of fire that can travel under titans and structures, but not over structures. Good ability to trigger Incendiary Traps. Firewall lasts 5 seconds
Incendiary Trap: Scorch deploys a gas canister that spreads green flammable gas over the surrounding area. This gas can be ignited by abilities such as the Thermite Launcher, Firewall, and Thermal Shield. The canister stays on the ground for 12 seconds until ignited, and when ignited, it lasts 5.2 seconds. It has a 15 second cooldown.
Thermal Shield: Similar to Ion’s Vortex Shield, Scorch creates a shield of fire which vaporizes incoming projectiles and ordinances. Thermal Shield can deal incredible amounts of damage when enemies enter melee range. Unlike Ion’s shield, Thermal Shield has a longer deploy and lowering time.
Flame Core: Scorch creates a giant cone-shaped wave of fire that deals an extremely high amount of damage, about 4,500 damage, which is almost 2 bars of health against a titan.
