Titanfall 2 - New Titan Kits for Each Titan! DLC 

I feel like Scorched Earth is less about denying space and more about finishing off people that the initial burst didn't kill. Scorch's thermite deals a shit-ton of damage, and if you're stuck in the middle of the Flame Core's thermite (which I assume will cover a VERY wide area) they're gonna have a hard time getting out of there without dying.

Not to mention Scorched Earth also shuts down the lane for yourself

He said using the highlander kit with the doom phase kit is a good idea. Frothy, you need to get some rest, you can't use two kits at one time.

I feel like the Tf2 community needs to be more positive.

TIMESTAMPS 0:38 - ION 3:30 - SCORCH 7:27 - NORTHSTAR 8:56 - TONE 10:35 - LEGION You're welcome.

scorch is going to be cancer in Angel city as, if the previous map is anything to go by it will be very enclosed so maybe scorched earth will get some love after all.

I think these are all ok, but I can't believe Northstar's is (IMO) the worst. . . . Her kit choices are by far the worst already. Here's my suggestion that is way superior: A kit that makes it so your tether trap bursts into electric smoke when activated, blinding and damaging the enemy Titan.

yah just make tone even more OP GREAT IDEA

shoot da woop firing mah laser :^)

I wish the Northstar kit was more like vtol hover height is adjustable with the thumb stick or mouse wheel

That rifle mod for Ion turns it into an auto shotgun, thats 500% - the DMG penalty compared to 300% - the DMG penalty you also cover a larger area hitting Critical spots and catching pilots, i'd use it on close quarters maps. Scorch's core covers a massive area it lets him shutdown entire lanes and keep snipers and brawlers off of him. Northstars new scope might highlight cloaked targets (probably not) Tone greatly increases damage potential turning her DMR into a BR or carbine even without her missiles with Legion think about it like a GL two grenades sounds pretty good, but if the sneaky ronin gets in close you could knock him away with two blasts of the power shot Ronins doom-phase could easily be used to double his phased duration, and it helps him escape. he is a ninja after all having a failsafe for when you get surrounded is indispensable. Ninja vanish! it also lets him ignore things like tones missiles, Ions laser core, Smart-core and so on...

Personally, sounds like Tone, Legion, and Ion got the best kits again. The Northstar one might be good if it highlights all pilots as well.

Great info and review. I learned a lot about how to play these guys more effectively. Thanks,

To be honest, if each hit adds a lock for Tone, that might have really big balancing issues

Scorch should have gotten a flame dash . Short dash that leaves a line of fire

I think that the 5 way split is for players who have trouble with larger targets like legion or scorch, when it's hard to dodge the shots, and then build damage and unleash laser core. Scorch's kit is designed to use a core, build damage on people who dodged it, and get even more charge after spending it. Also, to use it to screw over lasering ions. Northstar's kit seems to be used to poke titans with exposed backs around corners, playing a mosquito and a support. Tone kit is a love letter to ranged players, and supports, also those who want essentially a more durable ronin. Legion kit seems to be for power shot snipers(they exist). Ronin kit seems to be for those "holy shit nope nope nope I'm out" players. There's my analysis.

i love all your videos man, thanks for the info and such

that legion kit sounds pretty op to me. since the chare shots when aimed/timed right can get animate titans health bars along with their shields

Very good video, subscribed. Glad someone loves Titanfall 2

Forget about the kits, I've just learned A LOT, about how I should be playing my Titans. I've been messing up real bad. Thanks for the info man!

Legion's pwoershot (closerange) is excellent for taking out pilots, and longe range its great for peaking and putting out some damage while your shield is on cooldown. I might take the Hidden compartment perk on Legion on maps like Eden where i find myself firing long range powershots down a lane frequently, but will probably keep my buffed shield on for other maps.

hidden compartment seems cool if youre closeup bursting with the spread shot , but otherwise i dont think its on par or better with the smart core time increase which is basically not worrying about aiming/reloading for another additional 20% duration

I play ion different , the 5 split is a big part of my play style. it comes in handy when you flank or come behind a titan. It also deals good damage when you have to hit head on

Managed to catch part of your stream today. Didn't say thanks for the content... so, thanks for the content! This game deserves it.

As a Scorch player in Attrition, scorched earth is gonna be epic. I get my ult so often (several times within 10 seconds of getting in my titan) and scorched earth will probably turn it from doing a lot of damage to titans in a large area to effectively destroying every single titan in that area. That said, taking it will mean sacrificing inferno shield, which is what allowed me to get those 10 second flame cores, so I'll have to be a bit more careful with my flame shield and wait to build up ult charge before charging in.

FrothyOmen I feel like people would be really interested to see a video on a Cane build for the Scorch titan (ie fire hazard paint with here kitty kitty nose art and stock weapon paint). I mean I dont see how this would be useful, but it still would be cool to see other boss paints added to some of the other titans that dont have them

Quick question. Better flame shield or tempered plating?

Does the burst from tone also triggers the lock-on for each hit?

As soon as you say "series of brand new titan kits" Siri decided to open. Even Siri likes Titanfall.

So hype! I cant wait to check these out :D

The second Flame Core in the Complex Clip - hngggggggggg

Beter ultimate for this flame titan ( i have forgot a name ) cudl be usefull when enemy titan have more than 50 % of armor ( higher chance for ultimate kill ). Sory for translation errors if i did some.

i feel like you almost nailed the tone one, but personally i would use tone more because i seem to get my titan too early or too far from the enemy team that i could actually store up the 3 shots and do massive amounts of damage in the first few seconds than play duck duck goose like you were saying. also with the Legion one, the powershot isnt just for the long range encounter, it is the spread on the close combat version of the chain gun which i find to be useful in a pinch. it does a crap ton of damage to titans when you use the spread. not to mention its just one bullet. so having two is helpful in situations when you get overwhelmed by AIs or just in over your head in a titan vs titan fight. i feel like there was more to this than just thinking about the Meta game. and i know you know that each player has a different way of playing. i personally am more offensive, i challenge 3 legions in a ronin.do i get my ass handed to me? yeah but its what i like doing. when i play scorch i prefer to do damage, so im never going to pick the shield or the firewall buff over anything else. yes i know those still do damage but its very situational and i dont like that. heck, i kill titans as a pilot without rodeoing and using my own titan. is it more dangerous? yeah, but i find it awesome to do something as glass cannon and succeed that play how other people thing i should play. to me the Meta game doesnt matter. what matter is what i like to do and i dont like when people say this is what everyone uses or should use. thats just an unjust comment and im not bashing you for it by no means, but its just something i hate. i like playing the game as i see fit and i dont like being generalized when i dont even fit the generization im being put in

Legion's extra charge shot is perfect for more burst damage. It's not easy to finish Titans off as Legion, particularly at range.

hey frothy, cool video the new dlc looks cool, but I was wondering on your opinon(or theory if you have one), do you think we may get new titans for each chassis in future dlc? Do you think that fully customizable titans will be added eventually as a late game option/specific game modes? thanks

As somebody who will always use legion as their go to main titan I have to say that the new kit will be interesting. I always use bulwark so that I have insane lane push but the power shot is so strong right now. Especially if you get a flank on the enemy team. I'll have to see how it plays out but I might consider using it in a few games over bulwark

Do you think tha arc grenades should hack specters (and/or stalkers)? Nobody really hacks them and doesn't quite realize how helpful it could be to take out enemy A I and not worry about it

sorchs core does huge damage as is,but u wont one shot a legion wit it generally.the earth allows for a a good get in fire get out,and more damage for core also tone is great as peaking if played right,every 3 shots i get a lock,peak and blast once than lock on rinse and repeat.

i LOVE using the short range power shot to splatter enemy pilots, so I'll definitely be giving hidden compartment a try. also, it'll be useful for shoving away pesky Ronins

Are they adding a prime ion or prime scorch in the dlc?I just heard that rumor

Could you do a video talking about the generic titan kits like Turbo Engine and Nuke Eject? I like Tones new kit, it seems like the thing you want for solo carrying pub games because it's more safe burst, like Ion. I am eager to try Ion's, I hope it fires in a star shape/pentagon.

what's so awesome about this game is that every titan is awesome and has its own characteristics that can be in full effect if used properly.

I remember you saying that all damage is tank by titans from flame core, what I mean is that no damage is done to the doom state. Maybe scorched earth will be useful for dooming titans then killing them.

I feel like the 3 burst on Tone's ability to instantly gain a rocket salvo is gonna give him a huge edge if he gets the first drop on em

I totally agree with Scorch, shield is still a better pick. Definitely want to know more about how the splitter works, but now that I've played so much ION I never find myself using it unless, like you said, a titan is doomed and I don't have a laser shot. Legion's new kit is definitely dependent on play style. I personally don't mind getting in the short to medium distance fights, as long as it's not an ION, a dual shotgun blast can really do some damage there. Great Vid!

About Scorch i wonder how wide it's gonna be. Cause if you can cover an entire lane with thermite and assuming it's gonna have the same dmg and duration like the incendiary trap, it could potentially do more dmg than the original flame core. Still its gonna be more situational but boy is it gonna be fun to do! :P

The scorched earth perk will be able to deal insane amounts of damage to many titans at a time, and makes sure that enemy Titans can't really escape.

Hi there. Excellent video. Liked it a lot. I also play similar games and like them. Yours seems a little bit different though. Anyways, keep it up. Thanks a lot!

about tone I think my income so that three shot charge I believe you instead of increase damage will be allowing the player to get his lock on on the first shot if landed after all it takes three shots from Town's gone to acquire lock on

I like these kits despite i will not use most of the them. I think these kits fill out some gaps in player titan habits. Like people who rely on legion's powershot are now catered for. On console i do find that i use ion's split beam to kill pilots too often, so that new 5 split sounds interesting for me. also by having a kit focused to an ability it encourages players to focus on that ability and learn it. Then you can progress to other ability kits and gain whole titan mastery. "when you are the master pilot you need no titan kits" Lastimosa.

I like to see BT/Vanguard-class Titan with the icon Titan chaingun added in somewhere down the line.

I don't think Scorched Earth is about control. I think it will be about killing enemy titans outright with your ultimate. Normal flame wall already does a lot of damage. If they can't move forward or back up to get out of the wake, then they're dead.

scorched earth is ridiculous when there are other options that deal 10% more damage then scorched earth, and no the ground dose not stay on fire like we all thought

Ronin's new kit + nuclear ejection is awesome in a way, I used it so much and killed so many titans in amped hardpoint

So, with Phase reflex do you lose your phase dash? Or is it a separate movement?

I know i'm going to use the new scorch ability. scorch was my least used titan and i decided to start using it about a week ago, and now i'm getting 2 cores per titan. New scorch will allow me to roflstomp those 2 or 3 titan groups that rush me in hallways. core, then as soon as it's gone, double napalm and firewall, and the whole time i'm just holding them back with flame shield. EDIT: Northstar threat scope should allow for picking off those pesky pilots when they peek out to hit you with an archer. FUCKIN A! i'm pumped about the tone, but i don't know when i'll ever swap it for improved particle wall.

Random question but does Legion's power shot lock during smart core?

I wish you could customize Titan executions like you could with pilots, I wonder if they're working on that

A RU-vidr that actually knows how to use Ion amazing. The way you were playing Ion is why she is OP well at least on console

and north stars new kit would be good with popping a smoke and basically use it like a thermal

does the powershot go for legions shotgun burst in close range mode? cause if it does rip ronin players

Phase Reflex with Nuclear Ejection is awesome!!! Besides, you're pretty much immune to execution and deaths while inside a ronin while using it!

Do These instainstall on ps4?

I think Scorched Earth is better than you think. If an opponent is at full health and they're hit with Flame Core, thats a lot of damage regardless, but now there is still a field of death under them, meaning they're quite likely to take more damage.

Yo Froth, I'd love to get a 30 minute vid (or more detailed vid) of you ranting about what Scorch is lacking and what you would give him (or other Titans) if you were a developer.

sounds like this update isn't going to do much for the titans besides tone being able to peak shots and shoot rockets from cover like Northstar as said in the video.

Can you play the campaign offline on pc?

I need them to show Flight Core some love, and actually give me a kit worth using (aside from the extra blast radius for cluster missiles). Hell, give me two charges for clusters, or a faster charge rate for my railgun, maybe a slower charge decay whenever I come out of ADS. Anything other than highlighting enemies. Like, I'm fighting 50ft tall robots. I can see 'em just fine.

I feel for tone burst loser is not the way but if it gives 3 locks instead of 1 then it should be pretty good but if it gives 1 lock from the 3 shots it will be almost useless

FrothyOmen. I love your videos as always. You are very strategically inclined. What is your favorite titan in the new game? Ronin is my go to most of the time.

For legion, power shot is good and I use CQCB Power Shot all of the time but I don't think my legion would survive in the Close Quarter Combat I always play him in if I didn't use Bulwark (Double Gun Shield health). On top of this, in a Legion vs Legion battle, if one has bulwark and the other doesn't, the one with bulwark always wins as it will tank the other damage twice as much as the enemy's non-bulwark gun shield

oh look...Tones getting even more good kit options...wooooow

one thing, 3way split is does huge damage if you use it right so consider 5way should be close quarter+pilot killer i guess, and people keep saying tone is op op op, because its easy to use, but if you master all ion's ability its equally op if you know what i mean, like you mastered scorch you see what it can do in the right situation, but i think ion is jack of all traits but master all in the hands of the ones who know how to fully utilize it, good defense ability that counter high damage attacks, mines slow others down and get rid of bunch of minions too, laser that does ridiculous dps even rivals northstar form afar, and split fire hits like shotgun in close quarter. not to mention the all powerful laser core... so i say its the people whos using it that matters not the machine itself, same with all other titans. oh and the reason why i focus oh using ion is to out-maneuver other titans with their weakness

What about the mention of an in-game shop?

The only thing I want for Ronin is the ability of fucking executing people while on sword core. It's so frustrating when you doom them and then they have time to eject because your sword doesn't one shot them. But this phase reflex looks pretty nice, I will definitely play around with it.

I think the scorch one is a big hit or miss. when everyone in the game has their titans and there is a big titan brawl you can run around the map and if you can get behind 2 to 4 titans, which I have done a few times I attrition at least, you can just blow all your abilities and as long as the fire wall damage, the canister damage and the new core fire damage all stack on top of each other I feel like it could be worth it. Given you and your team mates can keep them locked down

As for Tones new kit, isn't that going to make her a very slow moving target for no real benefit? I mean sure if she's behind her wall its fine but I always play tone like an atlas/stryder 40mm and zoom and unzoom very fast to keep movement speed up. For scorch they should have given us two firewalls. Now that would make me think twice about taking the enhanced shield on Scorch. Or maybe, three barrel bombs, now that would be disgusting...

Maybe instead of scorched earth, maybe Respawn could add a perk where Scorch’s flame core has infinite range and more damage

I can see scorched earth being really useful for dos against npc titans in bounty hunt

Frothyomen I remember you it's Kowkiller363 damn It's good to have another Titanfall the first was great the second even better

Ion gets a full auto Wookie Bowcaster, Scorch gets the complete opposite of a Mei Ultimate, Tone gets a homing cannon, NorthStar gets the Widow's sight "lite"version, Legion gets 2 "Lucky Shots", and Ronin becomes an interdimensional sponge when doomed.

Scorched earth is only gonna be good for when your the last titan standing in last titan standing. It would allow you to retreat without pressure

I thought that doom phase shift would insta kill someone if you come out of phase shift into them instead of it killing you it would probably be op af though if you master it

I wanted to know what is your ronin kit since I've noticed that you removed the third dash

I thought a good way to balance ion would be to lower the damage laser shot does to titans but keeping it a one shot kill against pilots. Instead of a straight up nerf to ions damage you could make it so ads splitter rifle did more or equal damage to what ions laser shot currently does now. Essentially removing ion's peeking capabilities without nerfing her damage. Atleast thats what I thought until they came out with ion's new titan kit. RIP

I really like tone but I would like to be a scotch main. Any tips?

I don't know, I feel like Ronin and Northstar got shafted on this, maybe it's because they're my favorites

I main legion. That's a solid boost. The power shot is great at short range to push back Ronin. If I can do that twice...even better. Damage prob evens out with losing the 20-40 bullets.

hey what console u play on?

Am I crazy or is there a new Titan too ? (not necessarily for this DLC, but for a next one maybe ?) Because on the picture that looks like a new titan, or a new design for Ion..

opinions are definitely slanted towards LTS mode though, most of the people I know play Attrition and BH and a lot of the other perks seem fine there.

One time I actually executed a toning using phase reflex and like both of us disappeared and I popped up out of nowhere

I'm intrigued about burst fire (tone)

The Tone buff will basically let her get an insta lock, if she lands the shots. Again, 3 hit to a lock

Personally I would love NorthStar to get the Quad-rocket weapon as a primary, it suits its ultimate ability

Reflection Lens makes your splinter rifles damage INSANE, you absolutely SHRED titans

Two things I want 1) some sort of multi team pilots verses pilots 2) this might he a stretch but dynamic maps, I want my titan to fall and make a crator, when a titan gets executed,leave the shell there it would look amazing

I kind of disagree with what you said for tones new kit.... first off I'm a tone main and have MANY hours on tone.... I think I have her at gen 9 or 8... anyway, I normally run the kit that gives you 2 extra rockets because normally your particle wall blocks enough damage to give you time to harass, and the dps from 8 rockets is just so strong, but Imagine being able to get 3 tracks with 1 trigger pull.... that is basically fitting 6 seconds worth of dps (3 shots from the tracker cannon and one shot of the standard 6 rocket volley) into something like 3 seconds (ideal 1 trigger pull and 6 rocket volley).... I'm super excited to try this out I can't wait for this new dlc also

Great, give Tone a 3 shot burst so he can lock on with his ordinance even faster. As if he wasn't OP as fuck to begin with. They need to nerf tone pretty hard. Worst part of the game IMO.
