Battle of Titans Guide

This is a guide to Battle of Titans, made with the intention of informing newer players about how the game works and such.

## Guide

### What are Titans?

Titans are the mechs you equip in your hangar and go to battle with. They can be of different classes and take up a number of spaces (1-3 depending on class) in your hangar.

### What do Titans do?

Titans are what the game revolves around. You use them to battle one another . They have various abilities, with some being able to jump, sprint or crawl on walls. They may also have resistance to certain damage types.

### Titan Classification:

There are the light Titans (Little Shon, Mite and Bully) which take up 1 hangar space each, and are usually faster but more lightly armed/armored.

There are also medium Titans (M.A.O, Ravager, Nelly, and Cormorant), which take up 2 hangar spaces each. They have balanced amounts of speed, armor and firepower.

Finally, there is the heavy Titan, Tirpitz. It takes up 3 hangar spaces and has relatively high firepower and great durability, but poor speed.

### What are the best Titans?

Depending on the style a player prefers B.o.T offers a wide range of possibilities. Currently there are three types of Titans. Light, Medium and Heavy. Light bot offer a few roles such as scout, sabotaging, flanking and disrupting the enemy Titans. As for the medium Titans the main role would be fighting but depending on to weapon set up it can vary from a brawler to a mid range support bot to a long range sniper. Each bot has its strengths and weaknesses.

### What are Weapons?

Weapons are items that you mount on your Titan(s), used for attacking and destroying enemy Titans.

### Weapon Classification:

There are light weapons (Mangler, Tormentor and Sting), which are usually mounted on faster Titans and are better suited to closer ranges.

And there are medium weapons (Hammer, Sarisa and Vulcan), which are usually more powerful with a longer range.

Finally there are heavy weapons (Inquisitor) which is a long ranged heavy damaging weapon

(maybe discuss damage types here?)

### What are the best Weapons?

Hammers and Tormentors are not used often. Other than that, everything is fairly balanced.

**close range < 200m**

- Vulcan: lots of damage, fairly quickly (reload time ~5sec). Like a shotgun; loses effectiveness over distance very quickly.

- Mangler: great for shooting the weapons off Titans.

**Medium range 150 - 360+**

- Sarisa: lots of damage, up to 1000m. Slow reload 20 sec, or 1 rocket about every 3 seconds.

- Hammer: reliable amount of damage, with 5 sec reload.

- Sting: fair amount of damage (although unable to focus fire), and homing. Good for firing while under cover, or from odd angles.

**Long range** < **500m**

note: usually doesn't happen, except for occasional Cormorant that flies to high, or careful medium/heavy titans

- Javelin: extra damage, so who is to complain?

- Onager: mortar. Long range fire is best. The closer the enemy is, the longer the 💣 fells.

- Sarisa, long range fire

- Inquisitor, long range fire

### What are Backpacks?

Backpacks are weapons that are singly mounted on each Titan, which provide them with some kind of assistive ability to help them in combat.

### Backpack Classification:

The backpacks Titans can mount is dependent on the Titan's class. Light Titans can mount light backpacks, mediums can mount mediums and so on.

rumors: the new ***heavy*** titan Ilya muromets has a medium backpack

### What are the best Backpacks?

Light, only Fulgar (stun). Beacon does very little damage, and has terrible accuracy. Stun is basically the purpose of Light Titans

Medium, only Javelin is currently available as f2p. Just extra damage up to 600m

Onager, fires a tad like Beacon. takes a while for the rounds to hit, so use on slow moving targets. Might be able to hit directly with an upside down Nelly. (Needs Verification)

### What is a Meta?

Meta=Most Effective Tactics Allowed, which is basically a Titan with the most field-dominating weapons, such as the Inquisitor-Sarisa Tirpitz in lower leagues.

### What is the current Meta of Battle of Titans?

One meta(T1), underused, is a Nelly equipped with the following stuff. Used correctly, can tear though absolutely any titan in a 1v1, when everything is T2 it can take out titans with a single burst(firing until you have to reload the magazine).

Titan:

* Armor
	+ 1x heavy AFPS armor
	+ 1x heavy HEAT armor
	+ 1x heavy armor

* Core
	+ 2x System Hardening

* Mangler

Also, the 3x Vulcan MAO is really good too

	2. (Alternative): 1x weapon armor, rest with feeding gear
* Javelin
	1. all feeding gear upgrades

### **Upgrading Tips:**

Upgrading things is one way to do so, and the most reliable.

However, if you want to save money, wait until the shop gives you that item.

### Light Titans Strategy:

Annoying the hell out of ANY heavy or medium titans (except for cormorant) xD

Attempt to stun and shoot the weapons off any of the above.

If using Mite, climb all over your opponents to disrupt their aiming, especially against Tirpitz.

Little Shon, zig zag (or use cover) to close in on your target (don't fight groups), and then circle your target.

Don't use Beacon. Does so little damage, and accuracy is terrible.

Different maps require different strategies. In desert, the buildings in the center provide excellent cover to everything but missiles, if a medium or heavy bot without said weapons enters, use hit-and-hide tactics, the buildings are, in some places, wide enough for a small titan(little shon, preferably) to walk through while being narrow enough an enemy can only fire 1 weapon through the gap. On the snowy map, light titans can use the crashed spaceship for cover, but in most places they must rely on stealth as cover is not plentiful.

### Medium Titans Strategy:

Cormorant flanker/brawler: Cormorants are about as tanky as a M.A.O., and can easily get in close to use Vulcans, however require a lot of finesse in order to minimize damage taken while flying Against Light Titans, try flying up, and then dropping to use your medium weapons, and repeat. Try not to get stunned.

Nelly with full Stings are decent all rounded campers. peek, fire, and get back to cover. Try not to let anything to close to you (even fellow Nelly's. they might try to crawl all over you to be annoying), while keeping the enemy in range, 360m.

When 1v1 a medium or heavy (except Nelly), focus your shots on the enemies main weapons, especially if you have Hammers or Sarisas equipped. Still possible with Vulcans, but a bit more difficult.

### Heavy Titans Strategy:

Sniping, try not to enter close range combat. Light Titans will give absolute hell, unless their players don't play well, and even medium titans can beat a Tirpitz if they get close enough to shoot your weapons off

flag protection (spawn on top enemy)

### Cornershooting:

Don't do that... in battle of titans. In War Robots you can!

### Flanking:

Jump from the sky with spiders and surprise attacks with vulcan MAO, use cormorants speed to get behind the enemy (try not to be spotted).

### Combat Roles:

Flag capping

Anti tirpitz (light + manglers + stun)

flankers?

Scouts (mostly for capture the flag mode ~not actual name plz change)
