Titan

In-game Description

"This gentleman pilots a formidable killing machine. It has an ultra fast burst shot and a wide area of effect. Order him to chase infected and enjoy the show."

General Information

The Titan is one of the four specialized and Empire's Infantry Support Mechanic units requiring oil that can be recruited in the Engineering Center, the other 3 being the Thanatos, Lucifer, and Mutant. However before it can be recruited it must be researched in the Foundry first for 6000 gold.

The Titan is a giant clockwork walker armed with two rotating cannons similar to a minigun. Those cannons give the titan the highest rate of fire and highest overall DPS of any unit in the game, and just like Executor towers they deal damage in a medium Area of Effect. Additionally Titans have a very high attack range, out ranging even Snipers who are not garrisoned in towers allowing them to engage targets from a great range.

In addition to the highest fire rate and range Titans have the most health of all units (until mutants were added), high armour value and a great speed. The only downsides they suffer from is their high price, research cost and upkeep and oil requirements.

The Titan serves as the game's ultimate unit. It can act effectively in any role, from defending the colony from swarms, clearing the map from Infected and Villages of Doom and, in a pinch, even plugging gaps in a wall by body blocking with their large collision boxes while a new defensive line is thrown up.

Strategy

  • Titans can hit more infected per shot if you command them to attack the thicker part of the swarm.
  • Titan is the best unit to focus-firing high value targets like Venoms (as long as they are in their range).
  • For the final swarm, having at least one titan in each site of your defense line can help a lot.
  • When fighting Giants, having at least one titan to tank their damage or to kite them is highly recommended.
  • Titan doesn't have venom resistance, so it could be a bad idea to let them tank damage from Venoms.
  • Due to massive size, a large army of titans may struggle to pass narrow passages in your colony.
