Titanfall 2 Titan Guide: Mastering Ronin

List of goofs:
*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.

[@diablo2punk]

Yesterday I saw a Ronin charge all the way to my team's side in several seconds in LTS. My team closed him in a circle and proceeded to obliterate him in mere moments. Seems the pilot watched this video and got too arrogant.

[@newbtron1026]

I think he thought he was flanking, but what he was really doing is stating a death wish. All I have to say is "whoa there ronin, hold your horses"

[@sneakzy3187]

Zero Cool Same. Amazing tips! THX

[@DrMonty-ng5fo]

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 :)

[@FuhzyLiquids]

He says the phase dash tip in the video

[@FrothyOmen]

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!

[@r_____________________]

I do a termination I'd it's available when someone blows there core on me

[@WindmillPyramid]

FrothyOmen one other thing you forgot (but you've said elsewhere) is that arc wave can take out the Tone particle wall. Thanks! This video is very helpful!

[@SuperFetaCheese]

but also consider this: terminations are sick af

[@diablo2punk]

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.

[@FrothyOmen]

+Mr November Darn, you're right. :(

@@austinclark6385 sword block is BIG and knowing when to run is important. Block your enemies fire when you engage and use electric smoke to corral them. But know when you need to run, like a smart core legion or 2+ titans shooting you.

[@austinclark6385]

@@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

[@liamradeke9475]

@@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

[@skinnymann9932]

Thank you very much for this information.

[@dankerasp47]

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.

Jamie Lee does tone's wall disappear when she uses her core?

[@jamielee2353]

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.

She's incredibly strong but complicated, so I'm hoping you could shed light on her value, especially in competitive play.

[@FrothyOmen]

Northstar is indeed the next TItan guide. It'll be out early next year.

[@MrNeonRox]

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]

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

I've been doing pretty well with it but after watching this i realised I'm playing it all wrong lol😂 With this knowledge i can start using Ronin properly and annoy the hell out of Titan's and stomp pilot's all day long😂 Cheers again great informative vid😁👍

[@FrothyOmen]

Good luck!!!

[@Jack64708]

Frothy Cheers bro😁👍

[@brotrip2254]

I love Ronin, he really does have a great kit, there were 2 times that i went against 3 titans and absolutely obliterated them, you gotta have a good strategy tho, like ronin says, plan and stay focused

[@anthonytedesco4720]

I'm a bit late to making this comment since I watched this video a couple of days ago, but I just want to say thanks Frothy for making yet another great guide video! This video in particular had helped me the most and my Ronin skills have improved tenfold after I used your tactics. Thanks again and I can't wait to see what else you'll be informing us about next! Keep up the great work!

[@FrothyOmen]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I will have something new in the next few days :D

[@SeattleRain]

Brilliant as always. I've been trying to use Ronin recently and this filled in all of the pieces I have been missing.

[@anhilliator1]

If a Ronin's still alive after 30 seconds, RUN.

[@princealivision]

badically,this is a bigger version of : *I NEED HEALING*

[@ZiaGameDev]

My ronin is at generation 29 and to my suprise i actually learned a couple mechanics that i was not aware of(phase dashing to prevent rodio damage, was one i was completely oblivious to). thank you for the very informative video :)

[@ILoveLyda]

Thank you, Frothy! Your insight is always so helpful!

[@thewiseguy6201]

my two favorite titans are ion and ronin is my fav 😊

[@batsukamuro]

The music wasn't Zweihander. Could you confirm? Btw, great channel. I've learned a lot about TF2 from you. Subscription earned.

[@batsukamuro]

Nevermind. This is Rooftop Reservations from Bonus Points' Warmer Winds. You used it on another vid. Awesome track.

[@FrothyOmen]

+batsukamuro music credit is in the description, song is called rooftop reservations

[@batsukamuro]

Yeah. The description says "If there's music in this video, it's probably by Zweihander, check them out here!"

[@FrothyOmen]

Oh. I updated it earlier, I guess I never hit save. My bad.

[@Spiral-Mark]

FrothyOmen You said that sword block blocks in all directions?

[@Tazdeviljacknongaming]

Another great class brought to you by Prof. Frothy at FrothyVersity

[@superheartattack7498]

Thanks so much for this video man! Great as usual. Happy holidays!

[@joshbenitez8639]

am i the only player running ronin with nuke ejection?

[@EIKON_13]

MACK nuke eject and phase reflex is the perfect choice

[@joshbenitez8639]

I use thunderstorm :p

[@Vennnaya]

probably, because unless you're playing against a team of braindead people, they will get away from the explosion in time

[@joshbenitez8639]

I only do it when i know I'm going to die or when i see a scorch or legion

[@filthydaemonspawn1206]

MACK Still not enough, Legions & Scorchs might be slow but you'll just graze them at most. Oh, and of course, if they're running dash core, they will get away scot free.

[@prime_time15]

“Everyone Hayes ronin” But ronin is my favorite..

[@datbludragon9463]

This guide is why I'm good with ronin now, thx frothy

[@benrosenberg9467]

i love that my main is ronin, when u meet a good ronin its literally so nice cause they know all of this already and its just so nice.

[@AHeroAlmost]

So Block, block and more block? Lol Awesome video...I like using Ronin by going in hitting some damage and getting back out and bait the enemy to come towards me. Gonna give your recommendations a good go though I am definitely not blocking enough by the sounds of it

[@FrothyOmen]

Most players don't. You need to get to the point where you're blocking too much and need to start being more aggressive, going in that direction is easy. Trying to ease off on the damage to mix sword block in is an impossible task that will eave you dying quickly.

[@RexusprimeIX]

"Puny human reaction time" Dude, I wish! Any pvp game I play, everyone has fucking god-like reaction time. 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. Why can't there be servers for inhuman-godlike-superplayers and servers for normal, puny, filthy casuals like me?

[@stonethegamer5526]

RexusprimeIX don’t forget that they also know your credit card info and have already bought a tv, a new phone, and a delicious Casey’s pizza by the time you’re dead

[@PastaSauce7]

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

Titanfall 2 has returned time to watch all these guides

[@turntyle]

This is some of your finest work yet, Frothy. It has me pumped to really dig into Ronin and start ironing out some of the flaws in my piloting with it. It's been tempting a lot of times to look at Ronin as a situational or impractical pick compared to alternatives, but after seeing you in action and watching this vid I feel like a lot of people, myself included, haven't been giving this Titan the respect it deserves.

[@FrothyOmen]

+turntyle like I say on stream all the time, Ronin us secret top tier. People just don't realize it yet.

[@samthewizzy]

“Lol what’s skill” -scorch gang

[@vargamarioalexan9853]

I feel like ronin is the "Genji" of this game.

[@cheeto.fingers611]

Thank you frothy, I just started using robin and am planning on playing more with ronin, this video will help me a lot.

[@bobnob4393]

dang this video is so good! I'll definitely be watching all your other Titan videos Kudos.

[@jeefberky9101]

3 extra tips: Highlander is great on Frontier Defense, IF you're below hard mode Nuke Eject is amazing on Frontier Defense where there are countless Titans clumped up (can be coupled with Phase Reflex, but it's usually not needed as you already have sword block, phase dash, or an arc wave or two to stun them) Nuke Eject is a yes if you manage to corner an enemy Titan, though this is rare, even more rare that you'd be in the doomed state in this situation as well

[@mrspoatzog9415]

I was on top of a Ally Titan, jumped off, shot a incoming pilot with the mastiff and my ronin caught me. It was really epic and this explanation sounded better in my head

[@GigaSeadramon]

you didn't mention the invisible nuclear ejection.

[@jamielee2353]

Are you referring to how you can Nuclear Eject during Phase Dash or Phase Reflex? Its not completely invisible as people can still see the bright glare when your Titan is initiating the explosion.

[@GigaSeadramon]

Jamie Lee yes but you can use the phase to still nuke right on top of the enemy titans.

[@TraiIerRedux]

Bradley D'souza he did mention it, he said that its lame

[@powerfulmillionaire2881]

They need to buff the arc wave, it travels too slow.

China Naw.

China no because that would be a little unfair
