Why pick this

Pick Titan if you want big slam damage and a tough front-line presence.

Core mechanics

  3. Cap elemental resistances as you level.
  4. Add a movement skill to close gaps.
  5. At maps, scale slam damage and area or stun.
  6. Take endurance or guard layers for bosses.

Stats and gear to prioritize

  • A movement skill

Common mistakes

  • Too slow with no movement skill

Practical notes

The Titan is a strength ascendancy built for slam attacks and heavy hits, gaining armor and area bonuses. Build around a slam skill and stack strength for both damage and stamina.

Use his ascendancy to enlarge the area of your slams for clear. He is slow but hits hard, so position to connect fully. A Titan wins by trading speed for overwhelming single hits and built-in toughness.

Respec area higher if packs survive, because the Titan’s enlarged slams are what turn a slow bruiser into a screen clearer.

Frequently asked questions

Is Titan slow?

It hits hard but moves slower than mobile melee. A movement skill is essential.
