How's everyone feeling about the Titan classes so far?
Here's my thoughts:
Ion - Decent all-rounder. Can melt enemies with its zoomed in shots and pick off pilots pretty well. Really good at shredding dumb enemies that keep firing without realizing your shield is going to throw everything back at them, but outclassed by situational titans in most situations
Scorch - Great damage but really clunky. If you miss a shot and haven't already set the enemy's angle of attack aflame, you're probably going to get destroyed badly. Decent at anti-pilot.
Northstar - Really good if you're backed up by a friendly titan or two. Awful if engaging solo and not great at anti-pilot combat since you need to snipe fast, small targets (or land a good cluster missile). Even the ability to tether enemy titans down is hit-or-miss and flying does pretty much nothing for dissengaging since it's not fast enough to avoid anything.
Ronin - Absolutely awful at most non-1v1 situations, but really fun to play. Most engagements are border-suicidal flurries of phase-dashing, shotgunning and swinging a sword frantically hoping the enemy dies before you do, if you haven't been half-killed by the time you make it close enough to do any damage. Even when you do win, you usually get by almost destroyed. It really shines in ambush situations when you flank an enemy titan that is engaging a friendly titan since you can destroy them incredibly quickly, but it takes a lot of effort to make work.
Tone - Borderline overpowered, especially in 1v1. The deployable shield, the missile barrage, the ability to gain lock on through sonar, the decent mobility and the solid main gun makes it so you can get through a lot of 1v1 conflicts almost unscathed if you play it right. I've engaged plenty of annoying tones that deploy a shield and barrage me until it's destroyed or run out, then boost away until it's back up. Irritating to deal with.
Legion - A really solid titan with awful mobility. It's a one-trick pony that can be circumvented by things like a skillfully played Ronin or Northstar, but in a gun-off, it's probably going to come out the winner against all things except maybe a Tone, especially because of that turret-shield.
Note that I'm talking about my experience on PS4. Maybe Northstar is a lot better on the PC thanks to the better aiming.
My go-to for now are a mix of Ion, Northstar, Ronin and Tone based on my mood and how much I want to win. Looking to lock it down to 2 or 3 maximum, but they're all pretty fun except Legion which is too clunky for me
