The Ion is one of six new Titans in Titanfall 2.

Summary

The Ion is an atlas type. Laser-focused, the Ion is all about power. With a central energy system that fuels all of its offensive and defensive abilities, the Ion is an effective, tactical force on The Frontier.

Titanfall 2 producer Drew McCoy stated in an interview with Rolling Stone:

"Ion is all about lasers, precision and resource management. So she's a completely different style of gameplay." Ion wears a shoulder-mounted laser, drops laser-triggered mines and can fire an oversized laser from the center of her chest."

Abilities

Image Name Type Description
Lasershot Laser Shot Ordnance Shoulder-mounted, this lethal beam cuts through anything in its way.
Tripwire Tripwire Tactical Laser triggered explosive mines.
Vortex shield Vortex Shield Defensive Absorb incoming fire and redirect it back at the enemy.
Laser core Laser Core Core A deadly oversized laser beam fired from the chest of the Ion and capable of stopping anything it its path.

Tips and Strategy

  • Ion is powerful, but can be taken down relatively quickly compared to Titans like Scorch. Negate this small negative with the Tripwire to restrict Titan movements.
  • The Ion's splitter rifle is relatively weak but the laser shot is much more powerful especially if you can score a critical hit.
  • Try to use the laser core in open spaces on cover less titans as it does massive damage even at large distances.
  • Keep enemies at a medium distance as Ion has a relatively large range compared to other titans only bested by the North Watch.
  • The Vortex Shield is going to be the chief method of extending your survival. Use your dash to avoid heavy arms, and the shield to negate small arms from other Titans.
  • Not many people will spot the tripwire and they will be a great defence against Ronins.
  • All of your weapons run off the same energy supply so use it conservatively.
  • You have 4 bars of hp so be medium cautious.
  • Block all big attacks with your vortex shield like a tone's missiles or a legions power shot and definitely a north watch's fully charged plasma rifle blasts.

Trivia

Ion and Vanguard Class Titans are the only two chassis' with a Vortex Shield ability, albeit the shield was a popular option in the first Titanfall.
