Northstar

DAMAGE: HEALTH: MOBILITY:

General Description

Northstar is the specialist Titan that focuses on taking out the key Titan in any given situation. When an opposing team has that one Titan that is perfect for the map and the game mode, and has a great Pilot on the controls, you call in Northstar to take him or her out. Northstar has a long-range Plasma Railgun, which has the ability to charge itself for a more powerful shot. Another powerful feature Northstar contains is the capability of flight, which can give any Pilot a view of the land. This, by itself, is a powerful ability, but Northstar Titans are also able to fire over obstacles that no other Titan can.

Strategy

The main strategy for Northstar is to find your angle and treat your Titan like you would your sniper rifle: it is a weapon and it takes a little bit more thought than when you’re equipped with an assault rifle. When you are running around with an assault rifle, you might be more worried about where the enemies are and how you can surprise them. Whereas, when you’re acting as a sniper, you have to be the one who preys on your target and sometimes waits for them to find you and your crosshairs. Since Northstar is equipped with the Stryder chassis, attacking the enemy head-on is never a good idea. Take your time, learn the battlefield, and move carefully, but learn how to use your Tether Traps in order to keep attacking enemy Titans off of your back.
