Got any tips for ion, its my favorite titan, but im not very good at staying alive very long and i also am not very good with her core. If any one has tips pls let me know.
I run overcore and zero point tripwire, its the best in my opinion, as you said, energy management.
Ion would be so OP if it didn’t have to conserve energy. It does lots of damage and the shield is amazing against Tones and Legions. I always forget to use the laser trap but it’s very useful to drop and retreat to recharge energy. Try and hit titan weak spots with the precision laser. And if you don’t aim the gun so it doesn’t do a split shot it doesn’t take energy. Hope this helps you understand the basics of how best to use Ion
You have a vortex shield. Use it. Conserve your energy. If an enemy legion is on you, use your vortex shield to grab all his bullets. Wait for his shield to go down and release your shield. Legion players tend to be reckless. Patience is key with ion.
I run turbo engine and zero point trip wire. I like being mobile with ion because I'm pretty much a swiss army knife with that titan.
Spam those mines nonstop and you'll get kills you were not expecting. Also no reason not to use them and if you practice using them they can be pretty much a grenade that takes a bar and a half of health I think. The extra damage is always nice.
Now most people will tell you to concentrate on laser shot but you need to be sparing with that because if you rely on that pretty much any titan will mess you up.
If you see a tone rush them with your vortex shield when they get their missile salvo. Throw a mine behind them and use ADS. You'll crank out a lot more damage than laser shot. Little tip. If you throw back tones missile salvo, the particle wall will be destroyed immediately.
Legion and monarch you pretty much stay at mid range. Throw a mine out just in case they get any bright ideas. Alternate between vortex shield and your hipfire weapon. Use laser shot when you are near cover and aim for the cockpit.
North star you either laser shot or you full on rush them depending on range. Once you get them in close range just go ham with ADS and throw down those mines.
Going against another ion is a little tough but not a major issue. Try to stay at mid range and get a laser shot in every now and then. I say that because you dont want to run out of energy spamming laser shots because they can block those if you are too predictable.
Ronin I'll be honest I have the most trouble with in close quarters. But I have learned that if you punch them before they can swing their sword, you'll send them back. Do that to keep them away and use your mines and electric smoke to give them a friendly reminder that you like having your personal space.
Scorch... just poke him with laser shot and keep your distance. You can also throw their gas canisters back at them. And once again throw a mine down and use electric smoke. Papa scorch will run out of steam eventually.
Sorry for the wall of text btw.
Some tips I'd like to throw in as well is if your target is facing you, aim for their cockpit with laser shot for those crits. The detection radius for mines are very generous so throw them down as often as possible. ADS if the enemy is in close to mid range. If you are fighting a legion with gun shield active, catch their bullets and aim for their feet. Vortex shield if you want to rush someone. You can cancel laser shot by punching. Laser shot DOES NOT deal more damage the longer you hold down the button so use the time to adjust your aim. Also aiming downsight will consume energy so be careful of that.
If there's a friendly legion you can catch his bullets then throw them at an enemy.
And if you ever play frontier defense switch to entangled energy. Anytime you aim downsight with your splitter rifle it will give you pretty much unlimited energy as long as the ai titans are facing you.
He's my favorite too
Try to catch as much as possible with your energy shield and fire it back
Uhhh keep a medium distance of enemies and good cover and then we you got your core get closer to them or just kill them from affair
