[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]A titan guide for Olympiad!

[RaKo0n]

So this is basically a helpful guide for titans in olympiad. Hoping for a repost on the guide section, this isnt the place for flames although I appreciate any other info people want to let me know that I can add to this. Since it will probably be locked you can contact me if you want to add things.

 

      First off..this isn't a prefrenzy guide. Yes I will tell you how to prefrenzy but this guide is meant to be an all around help for titans in olympiad, and a little bit on how other classes can fight them to make things fair. It also isnt an ultimate win guide, its advice on how I play and what I think newer players should know about how to use a titan in this olympiad. Because of the nature of this server any advice is subject to not matter as much as the server or the game itself changes through updates. And here we go.

 

  In order to play a titan in the olympiad for this guide you will need the following gear

 

1 BTB Staff (Staff of evil spirits with bless the body)

1 Doom heavy set

1 Demon robe set

1 PVP set (Preferably weapon master heavy)

A conversion and health weapon (Big hammer+homunk just scream ownage)

Full boss jewels. This is debatable..but for this guide I will rely on you having a valakas because its an essential part of the strategy.

Icarus Heavy arms and Spitter with focus

 

A note on tats. Depending how you play your titan and how you want to get into skills you can choose to do what you want with your tattoos. If you want to make a carbon copy of my HP and my style in order to math out your prefrenzy and maximize your damage you will need +5 dex and +4 str with -9 con. Doing this makes your HP very low..but very managable. I still think a +con setup might be better for less experienced titans and might be better for certain fights. It's all up to you, but again if you want to follow my HP exactly you will need my tattoos.

 

A note on bars. These are the bars I play with..I will explain them now

 

 

Now my arrangement is a little crazy but this setup works quite well. It allows easy switching between sets and most all of the skills I will need to use in a match. The empty space above OTB is where my valakas goes. I can run through most of my prefrenzy skills quickly and my combat and toggle skills are easily accessible

 

The first 60 seconds, You should have close to 3600 HP with my setup

 

If I am playing with someone watching it will be their job to find out who im fighting..otherwise I will try to find out while im trying to get bless the body. I start the match in this specific gear

 

Demon set+Doom helmet and Doom boots (For faster doom switching)

Homunk Conversion

Valakas unequipped

 

      If I am fighting against something that requires my max HP to be higher I will only take 4 buffs to start, haste/focus/DW/zerk. I will switch to my bless the body staff and proceed to bandage until I have bless the body. If you are -con you will cast faster and regen slower..helping you get into skills. You will need to know your preskill limit. Mine is about 4200. If you go over that you cannot get into skills. If you get close without getting bless the body requip your homunk and switch back to BTB staff to lose the extra HP and try again. Once you get bless the body and you are close to your threshold you will then equip your valakas your doom plate armor and your doom gloves and your health weapon.

      Now you are ready. Use over the body, and then zealot and frenzy/guts (I will get into which one you should use soon) lionheart and braveheart and also battle roar and get out your sword and turn on shots. This way you will be high HP and well able to kill . Now you will smack the manager to regain HP (Only available with zaken and/or Antharas).Its good to requip your heavy armor while you are doing this. When the gate is almost about to open get your last buff from the manager. Windwalk for most fights but might can be better against a titan depending on how he plays. Turn on vicious stance and accuracy and war frenzy if it is needed for this fight. Rush out their and kill

 

In most fights you should not use any combat skills..just normal swings do the trick. Against archers/daggers in UE you should spam all 4 of your combat skills and also in any fight where you aren't sure you will be able to get a swing off. Be ready to switch to your bow if you can not catch someone..your p attack will still be insane

 

 

Strategies against specific classes

 

Against bishop

 

Really this fight just comes down to them not magic critting..be on them the entire celestial time...you will need to kill them right after they lose it. When the match starts you should already be able to hit them.

 

Against Elven elder

 

A good one will immediately prophecy of water you..if they do it too early take it off before the match starts. Remember alt-click to remove buffs. The trick here is to just stay on them the entire time...if they are smart once they remove your over the body and block windwalk you you won't be able to catch them. If this is the case switch to your bow..a frenzied bow crit can be enough to wipe out most of their HP. This is only a last resort as your 2h sword will win you the match easily if they can not kite you

 

Against Tyrants/Gladiators

 

Guts Guts Guts. The trick here is to throw them off by gutsing..they will try to avoid you and slowly wittle your HP..which won't do aynthing for them. Stay with your bow if they kite..or your sword if they don't. Make every second of zealot and over the body count as you might run out of them. Be ready for them to celestial..just back off a little as they still can't do that much damage to you. The fight should not be short...but dont make it last more then guts has or you will lose. Against a tyrants be ready for his zealot/bison when hes low..if hes kiting you your bow should finish him off at that point..otherwise try for crush of doom and demo impact quickly if he is already meleeing you.

 

Against Temple Knights/Pallies

 

Keep in mind...this should be your hardest fight. A good TK/Pally should make you really work for this win. This fight should last 5 or even 6 minutes if you both play it correctly..the thing to note is to not panic after you lose frenzy. You will start it like you start most fights..full on DPS. You want to make the TK/Pally use any of it's UDs or TOL very early to insure you winning later. When frenzy wears off you will still try to get in as much damage as you can. Be ready to run from UD/Vengeance and also be ready to use guts. If you can make the fight last you will be able to frenzy again. The whole point of this fight is to wear the TK down..get off Crush of doom and demo impact as much as possible..try to not let the TK /Pally kite you but if you have no choice use your bow. A second frenzy or guts can win you the match if you utilize them well..frenzy can be more risky if you're kitable but it might win you the match

 

Against Frenzied titans

 

Just use guts..and laugh when you destroy them. Remember to take might instead of windwalk if they are frenzied titans. If they crit a lot you will lose..but this is the best strategy for beating them

 

All other classes

 

Just get in damage quickly..thats just all there is. For OLs get up on them..for necros do the same. Dont let them get off those casts that will limit your ability..your crits will cance them. Most of the times ive tried to be anchored/blockaded I didnt even have to resist..i just crit them and cancelled their cast

 

How to beat a frenzied titan on

 

Elven Elder

 

Get as far as you can..at about 2 seconds left to start give the titan prophecy of water. When the fight starts you will need to land block windwalk right away. Once you've done those 2 things your whole job for the fight will be to run out the titans zealot. If he switches to a bow heal..otherwise you won't have time to heal. If you can land block ww you can kite them...you just have to be smart about it. Once zealot is gone wait off frenzy..and you should have no problem winning the fight

 

Bishop

 

Stay at the back of the arena. Try to get off 1 or 2 nukes before u celestial and then spam nuke. Its your only chance..anything else will probably kill you.

 

Tyrants/Gladiators

 

Against a frenzied Titan

 

This fight shouldnt actually be that hard, just get in ranged damage quickly and defintely do not barrier until the titan is on you. Use your barrier to TSS/Hurricane assault and blaster. Make use of all of those 8 seconds. When the titan comes back in you will need to get off another TSS/Hurricane quickly in order to beast through the HP. You can win this fight

 

Against a guts titan

 

Its unlikely that you will be able to win unless you can purely kite the titan. Rabbit/Sonic move a lot and dont focus so much on damage. Focus on outliving the guts...use barrier in order to keep the distance..not to get in damage. If you can outlast guts..your burst damage can win you the fight

 

TK/Paladin

 

This fight can be pretty simple. No matter what you want to kite the titan. You will probably need to touch of life/UD early to outlast frenzy. Hope for the PVP armor SA to work so the titan will be slowed. The goal here is to just outlast zealot..and kite off frenzy. Then fight normally. If you can still kite him while hes not in skills it would be nice too. Be ready to rekite frenzy/guts since he won't have zealot this time. make the fight last..but make sure you can finish him, it's likely he will beat you on damage

 

And thats is all for now.
