| [[gameplay:classes:titan|Titans]] are big monsters with a lot of hit points. They're slow moving targets, generally not very strong. They will always move to an [[places:outpost|outpost]], with the intent of destroying that outpost's walls. Multiple people can fight Titans simultaneously, and they'll get a req reward for doing so. | [[gameplay:classes:titans|Titans]] are big monsters with a lot of hit points.

| Very well. But before that, you need to know a few things about Titan behaviour. Now, Titans spawn at the edges of the map, and work their way towards an outpost of their choosing. Should a Titan get killed right as it appears, the next Titan will spawn with a little more health. While their default health is 1Mhp, if people are too quick to kill them, their health can quickly balloon to well over 10Mhp; a formidable opponent for any Titan hunter! Ideally, people would wait for the Titan to walk a few clicks inshore, then kill them, but you run the risk of having someone else take the beast out from under you while you wait. A good guideline is that you can probably take out the titans that are less the 2Mhp, but ones larger then this should probably be let onto the island at least 2 or 3 clicks. (Excepting those spawning near and heading towards [[places:outpost:newpittsburgh|New Pittsburgh]] and [[places:outpost:cybercity404|CyberCity404]]. For the outpost's sake, take those beasts down!) | Very well. But before that, you need to know a few things about Titan behaviour.

| Any race can fight Titans. The most popular are Jokers((create)) because they can have days with tremendous attack bonuses, dirt cheap travel((create)) and in-combat healing. An obvious choice, though you risk a bad day with twice the stamina((create)) cost, and only 10% of your normal attack and defense; those days are not Titan fighting days.\\ | Any class can fight Titans.

| So, you killed a few Titans and want to kill Titans for a living? Very well. You'll likely want to choose a different attack strategy though. Actually getting all the buffs can be quite time consuming. Consider doing less damage, but more hits. It requires you to have a good deal of stamina, and fairly cheap attack costs. Shape your character over multiple DKs.\\ | So, you killed a few Titans and want to kill Titans for a living? Very well. You'll likely want to choose a different attack strategy though.

| The Joker race seems to be best for this, since on a good day your attack stamina can be less then 0.01%, which can let you fight practically all newday. They can also heal during combat, which comes in handy. Of course, this is a technique best applied if you can do a considerable amount of damage as well, so let's take a look at how to accomplish that first. The best thing you can do is get yourself a good weapon. There are a good number of choices, depending on your level. The Elephant Gun could, theoretically, do 500,000 damage over it's useful lifetime, but the initial cost can be quite prohibitive and takes a lot of DKs to unlock. If you can afford this, it is the easiest way to start doing a good amount of direct damage to Titans right off the bat. | The Joker class seems to be best for this, since on a good day your attack stamina can be less then 0.01%, which can let you fight practically all newday.
