Activating Your Core
As well as the general attacks and special attacks of your Titan, it also features a core ability. This is essentially an incredibly powerful attack that will make use of whatever their particular unique weapon is. For example, Northstar will jump up into the air and rain down missiles on its enemies, whereas Ronin will electrify its sword and deal huge damage with each strike. While this seems like a no-brainer to activate as soon as you’ve got it, you’ll want to ensure the positives outweigh the negatives.
You see, activating your core makes it more susceptible to enemy fire. This means that if you’re surrounded by enemies, you’ll want to consider what the chances are you’re going to make it out alive. If you’re on low health as it is, you may want to try and get out of the action and find a battery to recharge your Titan with. On the other hand, if you’ve got a full bar of health you’ll be all clear to activate your core and bring enemy Titans to their knees. Always think about how you can make the most of your Titan’s core ability, rather than just activating it straight away.
