The Thermal Shield, commonly referred to as Heat Shield by the Scorch, is a Titan Defensive Ability that appears in Titanfall 2.[1] It is used by the Scorch-class Titan. A similar shield, used for offensive purposes, is used by the Thermal Scorch in Titanfall: Assault.
When used, Scorch will use his hand to create a shield out of fire, similar to the Vortex Shield. It will stop incoming fire, and will damage enemies that get too close. It does a lot of damage, killing Pilots almost instantly, and does a lot of damage against Titans.
Strategies
- Trap an enemy into a corner with Thermal Shield, then deploy Incendiary Traps (this can be done while still using Thermal Shield) and light it on fire, dealing massive damage and probably destroying the titan.
- Use it to kill pilots that have grappled onto you.
- Activating the shield can be used to cancel the reload of the T-203 Thermite Launcher.
- When a pilot is rodeoing you, back up against a wall, look straight up and turn on your thermal shield after a couple of seconds. When the pilot is forced off you, they should land in your heat shield, killing them almost instantly.
Trivia
- There is a visual glitch where Scorch will have his hand out, but there will be no flames.
- When damaging a titan, there will be a screeching sound that is like metal melting.
- Despite the ability's name being Thermal Shield, Scorch never addresses it as such.
