In this part of the video, the creator discusses their Titanfall 2 Titan tier list, starting with Ion. They explain that the tier list is based on their personal opinion and focus on the Titans’ primary weapons and abilities rather than Titan or Titanfall kits, which are considered a matter of personal preference. Ion, characterized as a medium weight and medium health Titan, has the Splitter Rifle as its primary weapon—a decent, middle-of-the-road automatic energy rifle. The Trip Wire, which are laser-triggered explosive mines, is deemed ineffective by the creator. In contrast, the Vortex Shield, which blocks and returns incoming fire, is praised as a powerful tool. The creator particularly appreciates Ion’s capability with the Vortex Shield in combat situations.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses the capabilities and ranking of two Titanfall 2 Titans: Ion and Scorch. Ion’s key feature is its laser shot, described as a one-hit kill weapon effective against both pilots and Titans. His ultimate, the laser core, is highly effective and considered one of the best in the game for dealing damage. Different kit options for Ion are evaluated, with “refraction lens” being highlighted as particularly powerful. Despite Ion’s strengths, the reviewer places Ion in the C tier, arguing that while he is decent, he is not exceptional overall.
The focus then shifts to Scorch, characterized by his low mobility and high health, making him a robust tank. Scorch’s primary weapon, the t203 thermite launcher, is a semi-automatic grenade launcher with slow velocity, making accuracy challenging against moving targets. However, it causes significant damage upon impact with Titans and pilots. The thermite launcher is noted as requiring a high skill level to master but is extremely powerful once mastered.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker evaluates various abilities and traps of the Titan “Scorch” in a game. They describe the incendiary trap, which fills an area with ignitable gas, noting it is better than the ion trap but not significantly impactful overall. The thermite shield is highlighted as a strong defensive tool that can burn incoming projectiles and damage nearby enemies, particularly effective against melee attackers like Ronin. The firewall, which creates a directed wall of thermite, can kill pilots instantly and damage Titans substantially. Scorch’s ultimate ability, the flame core, sends a thermite shockwave that is moderate in effectiveness but can instantly kill pilots.
The speaker then reviews Scorch’s kit, including the Wildfire Launcher (increases direct damage and thermite output and is recommended as the best option), Tempered Plating (grants immunity to critical hits and own thermite damage), Inferno Shield (increases thermal shield damage and duration), Fuel for the Fire (reduces firewall cooldown), and Scorched Earth (enhances flame core). Despite the potential, they place Scorch in the B tier because of its high skill requirement but acknowledge that a master of Scorch can achieve S tier performance.
Lastly, they transition to discussing North Star, another Titan with high mobility, low health, and high damage capabilities, starting with its plasma rail gun.
00:09:00
In this segment, the video discusses various features and weapons of the Titan named Northstar. The plasma rail gun is highlighted as a satisfying high-damage weapon, capable of significant damage to both pilots and Titans. Northstar’s VTO hover allows hovering for a short duration to gain strategic vantage points. The tether trap is noted for its ability to lock down enemy Titans and create comedic in-game moments. The cluster missile creates sustained explosions useful against both Titans and pilots. Northstar’s ultimate ability, flight core, involves hovering while deploying powerful missiles. Various kits are also reviewed: the piercing shot allows plasma rounds to hit multiple targets, the enhanced payload makes cluster missile explosions more effective, the twin traps enable firing two tether traps, Viper thrusters increase movement speed during hover and flight core, and enemies are highlighted while zooming in. The video concludes by placing Northstar in the C tier, primarily due to low durability.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, Ronin’s characteristics and abilities are analyzed. Ronin is a high-mobility, low-health, and medium-damage Titan.
1. **Weapons**:
– **Lead Wall**: A projectile shotgun with a wide spread, effective at close range but ineffective beyond 20 to 30 meters.
– **Phase Dash**: A highly overpowered quick directional phase shift that allows Ronin to evade attacks and outmaneuver opponents.
– **Sword Block**: Reduces incoming damage, compensating for Ronin’s low health, and is considered overpowered.
– **Arc Wave**: An electric wall that slows and damages enemies, capable of stunning Titans and instantly killing pilots, making it another powerful tool.
– **Sword Core**: Electrifies Ronin’s broadsword, enhancing attacks and block ability. It is exceptionally powerful, capable of destroying Titans with a few swings.
2. **Kits**:
– **Ricochet Rounds**: Lead wall rounds bounce off surfaces, but it’s generally ineffective for getting kills.
– **Thunderstorm**: Arc Wave gets two charges, adding to its effectiveness.
– **Temporal Anomaly**: Phase Dash is available more frequently, enhancing Ronin’s mobility.
– **Highlander**: Titan kills extend the duration of Sword Core, amplifying its impact.
– **When Doomed**: Allows Ronin to phase out of danger when critically damaged.
Ronin is distinguished by his high mobility and overpowered set of abilities, compensating for his low health, making him a formidable Titan in the game.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the creator explains the rankings of different Titans in the game, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of Ronin and Northstar. The focus is on why Ronin is placed in the S tier, mainly due to his sword block and phase dash abilities, which offset his low health by allowing him to take minimal damage and dominate other Titans. The discussion then shifts to Tone, another Titan, described as a medium health and weight class favorite. Tone’s primary weapon is the 40mm Tracker Cannon, known for its effectiveness against pilots and Titans. The sonar lock ability reveals enemies and aids in targeting by bending projectiles around cover. Tone also has a powerful particle wall for defense and tracking rockets that hone in on locked targets. However, the ult, Salvo Core, is critiqued for its low damage and slow missile velocity. Various Tone kits are reviewed, with the enhanced tracker rounds kit being the favorite due to its superior tracking capability, while other kits like reinforced particle wall and rocket barrage are deemed decent but less effective.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker evaluates two Titans from a game, Tone and Legion. Tone is described as a solid and personal favorite, but rated in the A-tier due to some limitations. The speaker then shifts focus to Legion, a high-health, low-mobility Titan, highlighting its primary weapon, the Predator Cannon, which has a powerful but slow spin-up time. The mode switch feature allows for versatility between close and long-range combat. Legion’s gunshield is praised for its strength and mobility. The power shot is seen as less impactful, but useful for crowd control. The ultimate ability, Smart Core, is deemed extremely powerful, allowing multi-target engagement with infinite ammo. The speaker admits a newfound appreciation for Legion through gameplay experience, noting the satisfying use of Predator Cannon and Smart Core. The Titan’s kits are also discussed, with enhanced ammo capacity, extended Smart Core duration, increased gunshield durability, and improved mobility as key features. The segment concludes with the speaker expressing a preference for the lightweight alloys kit due to Legion’s slow speed.
00:21:00
In this segment, the video discusses the Titan Legion’s abilities and the reasons behind placing it in the A tier on a tier list. The content then shifts focus to Monarch, described as an overpowered medium-health Titan. Monarch’s primary weapon, the XO-16 20mm hitscan automatic weapon, is highlighted for its effectiveness against both Titans and pilots. The “Rearm” ability, allowing cooldown refreshes for various offensive and defensive actions, and the “Energy Siphon” skill, which slows enemies and generates shields, are mentioned as significant capabilities. Monarch’s “Rocket Salvo,” an unguided rocket swarm, is noted for its damage output. Finally, Monarch’s ultimate ability, “Upgrade Core,” is discussed in detail, emphasizing the flexibility and power it offers by recharging shields and providing three upgrade options, including enhanced rounds and missile racks.
00:24:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on evaluating the Monarch Titan’s various upgrades and abilities in Titanfall 2. The speaker discusses several augmentations for Monarch, including Energy Siphon, faster reload and rearm speeds, and intensified electric smoke, and assessing their impact. They highlight the overpowered nature of Monarch’s ultimates, which enhance damage and survivability. The speaker expresses a preference for specific abilities like the rapid rearm and energy thief and ultimately ranks Monarch as an S-tier, highly overpowered Titan. The segment concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their opinions on the tier list and a request for likes and subscriptions.
