Choosing the Titan in Destiny 2
Which Class Should You Pick in Destiny 2?
Titans are your tanks in Destiny 2. Okay, so they’re not as tanky as something you’d find in a more legitimate RPG, but they are good at drawing attention, taking fire, and protecting allies from harm. Their supers are all about becoming elemental-charged juggernauts that make them a nightmare for opponents, especially in PvP. They’re a well-balanced class, though they don’t have the greatest mobility in the game (not that it ever becomes too big of a problem). With great defense and decent healing as well, they make a great option for solo or team play.
The Titan’s class ability in Destiny 2 is a barrier of light. Just think of a mobile cover and you can picture exactly what it is. There are two versions. The short one allows players to duck behind it and instantly reload their weapon. The tall one is perfect for cutting off passageways for enemies.
Another thing to keep in mind when thinking of choosing the Titan in Destiny 2 are its three subclasses.
Sentinel – The Sentinel is the new super defensive class. The Code of the Protector build brings back the Defender’s Ward of Dawn from the first game (an indestructible bubble of light). It also allows you to create an overshield for yourself and nearby allies to make everyone more resilient against damage. Code of the Aggressor focuses a lot more on killing enemies, but does give a Titan perks if they find themselves on the frontlines. In the Trenches charges your super faster if you get kills while surrounded, and killing with your grenade charges your grenade ability (pretty sweet).
Striker – The Striker is more about killing than defending others. Each build (Earthshaker and Juggernaut) provides different perks depending on how you want to play. Want to make the most of your super while also staying on the front lines? Juggernaut is for you. Want to keep enemies away, go the way of the Earthshaker.
Sunbreaker – Finally is the Solar class. This is a great support class as well as one for those taking point. You can lower enemy defenses, control the field with sunspots, or deal massive damage. The hammers still give veteran players the chills whenever you hear them clang.
All in all, all of the subclasses help contribute to that frontline mentality, making the Titan a perfect option for those who don’t want to hang back in Destiny 2.
