    *Sword Core deals 2,200 damage per swing, not 2,000.
    *Arc Wave will insta-kill Tone's Particle Wall and still deal damage to targets behind the wall, whether Tone uses Reinforced Particle Wall or not.

      @@liamradeke9475 does the sword block work on multiple titans and have a 360 radius around ronin? Maybe that's my problem is that I'm thinking I can just go in blazing and try to steam role when I should be more passive n look for a opening

      @@austinclark6385 yes it works 360 and blocks multiple titans damage. Ronin should be somewhat passive and wait for openings. However another good way to play him is to rely on your teammates like Frothy said. Go in and soak up the damage and drop smoke while your teammates deal damage to the enemy

    One thing I didn't note -- It's very important to use terminations to your advantage, and to know when to avoid them. If you're going hard on a group of Titans, here's the idea: If they're looking at you and focusing you, consider performing a termination to become invincible temporarily and give your phase dash a chance to recharge for free. If they aren't looking at you, consider avoiding the termination so you aren't locked into the animation -- continue damaging and killing targets normally!

      In LTS, a termination will be important, most people eject while doomed anyway, might as well just kill the pilot too if they're still in the cockpit. Save yourself the trouble of getting stunned left and right.

  • @dankerasp47
    @dankerasp47 Před 7 lety +464

    Ronin is my most played Titan, and one reason I love him is because of how he ruins Tone. Arc Wave destroys Tone's Particle Wall, Phase Dash removes Tone's Tracking Rockets lock-on, and Tones aren't that powerful in CQC Titan battles, so Ronin is able to constantly dodge Tone's attacks, and strike back with much more power.

      Honestly Ronin North Star and Scorch are my preferred batyles as a Tone and Monarch player. I fight at a lot of distance though so usually ive taken enough health that by the time there close a salvo core or solid rocket barrage and Chaingun can finish than..i do feel like theres a lot of noob ronins just because he looks cool though

  • @DrMonty-ng5fo
    @DrMonty-ng5fo Před rokem +138

    Updates from the future:
    If you crouch at the exact same time as you sword block, the sword block comes out almost TWICE AS FAST. This makes it EVEN BETTER!
    After the first half of your arc wave, you can phase dash to make the second half safe.
    You can use phase dash to prevent the damage from pilot rodeos as they pull out a battery.
    If you dash, then immediately phase dash (almost at the same time), your phasedash will go twice as far.
    During sword core, if you press attack while in the middle of any other animation (for example, you click melee while in the middle of a previous swing), your swing will COMPLETELY WHIFF. Wait until your previous attack/arc wave/sword block finishes before using melee again!
    For more tips, I added them to the wiki, so look there :)

      No, I mean it doesn't immediately get cancelled out if it gets hit by a Core ability. If you try blocking Core abilities with Gunshield, Particle Wall, Vortex Shield or Flame Shield, the skills immediately get overpowered and go on cooldown. Ronin's Sword Block is the only defensive skill that doesn't get cancelled out when getting hit by a Core ability.

    Really well done! I didn't know a lot of this. I would like to add though, as something I've learned, which is really helpful when you are attempting to deal with a high-health low-speed titan (Scorch especially) is that you can reload while phase dashing, which can give you brief invincibility plus a quick few extra shots.

    I use sword block mostly there are many pilots attacking me or facing with a Tone or legion, Yes Ronin is my favorite titan but i rarely counter enemy Titans directly, I always flank to use all of his potential and deal massive damage, especially from behind a bunch of Titans, shock wave is very useful to slow northstars and other 2 dashes titans, and it can eliminate Tone and legion shield, making them panic and help your teammates. I have to admit that now i just realize the anti-battery stolen by phase dashing although my ronin is G11, good tip, good tip!

  • @MrNeonRox
    @MrNeonRox Před 7 lety +5

    Ronin Changes!
    Ok, they're not official, just my recommendations.
    The point of the core abilities is to make you very lethal for the duration of the core. I believe all the cores serve their purpose well, except for the fundamental flaw that Sword Core has. While the damage of the core is acceptable, the doom state interactions are terrible.
    A swing from sword core on a doomed titan will not kill. That is a downgrade from the normal melee! It disables executions and requires another swing, literally doubling your time to kill on doomed titans. Sword Core hinges on its ability to kill doomed titans. Ronin is tied for the lowest base health alongside Northstar, therefore any extra damage he takes while trying to do the second, finishing swing is infinitely more detrimental to Ronin.
    This fundamental flaw also ruins the point of the Highlander perk in many cases. The perk, which allows for longer duration from titan kills, is very powerful, except that many people will steal kills from you during Sword Core. Because it leaves a tiny bit of health, ANY form of damage will steal the kill from you. If Highlander got buffed to give the duration on assists, all would be well, aside from the fact that Sword Core is doing a little too small of damage.
    TLDR: Let Sword Core one hit kill doomed titans; allow Highlander buff on assists.

    • @patrickdsouza398
      @patrickdsouza398 Před 6 lety

      MrNeonRox I agree with the increased damage but the highlander shouldn't work with assists because imagine just hitting an enemy titan two or three times and getting the increased sword core duration. But the damage should definitely be increased to 1HK doomed titans

    When I see an enemy, first I have to process if that is a player or just a background object I mistook for a player. Then I have to see if they are friend or foe. Aaand finally I need to aim at them and shoot. So it takes approximately 1 second before I decide to pull the trigger. Which by that time, I'm usually dead.
    They see 1 pixel of me, and they already know that I'm an enemy, what character I'm playing, what my stats are, my favourite dish is and where I live.
