Ion
Ion has the advantage of familiarity over its peers. Feeling very similar to the Atlas class of the original game, Ion carries a Splitter Rifle that unloads a powerful laser beam, and a Laser Shot which can deal an even heavier blow. Much like the Legion Titan, Ion is effective both up close and from a distance thanks to the impressive range of its powerful laser-based weapons.
To help you pick off stray Titans, its tactical Tripwire ability also deals damage through laser-triggered explosive mines. Perfect for those moments when an enemy Titan is in pursuit after you. In order to keep you out of the way of damage, too, Ion dons a Vortex Shield capable of absorbing incoming fire and returning it back to the sender. Particularly useful when it’s a neck and neck battle to the death.
Rounding off Ion’s arsenal of abilities is its Laser Core, capable of stopping anything in its path in the form of a giant oversized Laser beam fired from its chest. While it does make it far more susceptible to damage, unleashing this from a distance onto a group of enemy Titans will greatly hinder their offensive capabilities.
