Tips and Tricks
- The temptation with
Titanic Block is to hold up the shield until the enemy hits it, and then launch into an attack combo of your own, but this block needs to be used just like a
Precision Dodge or thought of similarly to
Cold Snap. Try to time the block so that it occurs right when an enemy is about to hit. This will earn your bonus time for “Titanic Rampart” and, if you counter with
afterwards, “Titanic Payback.” In fact, this is where most of your bonus time should be coming from. You can also earn additional bonus time by countering with
Raging Fists.
- Use powerful moves like
Upheaval and
Earthen Fury more often than you would for other Eikonic Abilities. Their cooldowns are quick.
- This is a fight where certain accessories like
Berserker Ring can be problematic. Attacks that you can dodge to trigger the ring are attacks that you should be blocking with
Titanic Block. You don’t have to unequip it necessarily, but it’s something worth noting about your playstyle if you’re having trouble earning time bonuses.
