- "The first Titans built the Wall, and gave their lives to defend it. Now, you stand in the same high place, steadfast and sure, protecting all who shelter in your shadow. You hail from a long line of heroes, forged from strength and sacrifice. Our enemies may be deadly and merciless, but so are you."
- — Class Description
The Titan is a class of Guardian. They are equipped with suits of powered armor that boost their strength and endurance. Titans utilize their strength and skill with firearms to kill their enemies.
The Wall surrounding the Last City was built by the first Titans, who also perished defending it.[1]
Abilities
All Guardians have certain abilities, some of which are granted by the Traveler, others which may appear more mundane in nature. Thus far, all Guardians have demonstrated some form of high-damage ability (Warlocks/Nova Bomb, Hunters/Golden Gun, Titans/Fists of Havoc), as well as a "grenade-type" ability whose effects vary by class. Additionally, both the Warlock and the Titan are confirmed to have double-jump abilities. The Warlock's ability, "Glide", has only been named and confirmed in writing:[2], while the Titan's double-jump ability has been demonstrated during gameplay[3]. While it is likely that, in the interests of balanced gameplay, the Hunter has a similar double-jump ability, to-date it remains unconfirmed. What has been confirmed is that these abilities can be upgraded over time.[4], that they can be used in competetive PvP, and that the abilities demonstrated thus far merely "scratch the surface" of what will be available.[5]
The Titan has 3 known special abilities.
- Fists of Havoc: One of the powers of the Titans is an electric area-of-effect ground punch.[3]
- Another ability witnessed during gameplay is a grenade. (The type and effects of this grenade are currently unknown as it was thrown toward a point behind the POV of the Warlock, with the sound of the explosion being somewhat muffled by the developers' commentary)[3]
- Yet another ability witnessed during gameplay is a double-jump. This ability is used while the Titan is in mid-air, increasing their jump height and distance with a quick burst of thrust.[3]
Trivia
- The armor worn by the Titans are similar in overall design to the MJOLNIR powered armor worn by SPARTAN supersoldiers in the Halo series.
- The T-shaped visors of some Titan helmets are reminiscent of the Corinthian-style helmets used by the ancient Greeks including, among others, the Spartans. They also bear a resemblance to Mandalorian helmets from the Star Wars franchise.
- In the Halo universe, "Titan" was one of the names considered by Catherine Halsey for the Spartan-II Program.
