Ion

DAMAGE: HEALTH: MOBILITY:

General Description

Ion is your all-around Titan that is good at almost everything, with the exception of one particular action. Ion is equipped with the Splitter Rifle, which has two different modes: a single-shot mode, which is default and does a medium amount of damage to enemies and the alternate shot, which fires three shots closely grouped together in a horizontal pattern. The second of these uses more energy.

Strategy

Energy is something that is unique to Ion, indicated by a bar on the left-hand side of your HUD. Virtually everything that Ion utilizes uses up energy, and that energy replenishes over time—but it is to keep you from continuously using your abilities. This means you need to plan out what you’re doing and use each power wisely. As Ion’s secondary abilities go, Ion is equipped with a Laser Shot, which is a high-precision laser, and it will do a high amount of damage, but you have to be accurate with it. Ion is equipped with a Trip Wire that can be dropped to block the path of an enemy Titan as they are chasing you. Finally, as a defense mechanism, Ion has the classic Vortex Shield, which can both block attacks and projectiles and launch them back in the direction you are facing.
