Hunter And Warlock Are Choir Boys Compared To Titan

Players around the world are slowly discovering what it means to experience the incredible outer-space adventure of Bungie's latest Destiny Beta. Getting a first hands-on experience over the weekend has left us eagerly anticipating more from the FPS. With Bungie giving gamers more customizable choice than ever before, the entire team have been comparing notes on which character class is truly the ultimate weapon. As the majority choose the Hunter or Warlock as their top favorites, here is why I think the Titan simply is the best of them all.

1) History Of The Titans

In ancient Greek Mythology Titans were a primeval race of mighty deities,  descendants of the all powerful Gaia (Earth and Uranus (Sky). These formidable Demi Gods reigned during the legendary Golden Era. They were immortal giants with super strength and the religious Gods of the Greeks.

The formidable Titans from Greek mythology were Bungie's inspirations for making these rising gods and for this reason makes them the most powerful of all the classes, no argument. The Original Titans in Destiny's massive Universe built the great wall, sacrificing their lives to defend and protect those who seek shelter in their mighty shadows. Just like ancient Greek history, Titans hail from a long line of Super heroes who have forged their name in Destiny from their courage, strength and bravery.

2) The Titans Are The First and Last Line Of Defense  

The Titan class specializes in armor and heavy weaponry and can be distinguished by their heavy, full-body protection gear and glide-back helmets. In addition to their chest, arm and leg armor, the Titans also have a special 5th badge armor, specific only to them. This fifth armor displays their historical lineage, allegiance to the light or dark and achievements. Because of their God-like strength the Titans can wield heavier weapons like Rocket launchers with limited draw-back on speed and mobility.

Titans are reminiscent of characters like Bungie's Master Chief from the globally successful Halo and future soldiers like the indestructible Terminator. They are the most heavily suited warriors of the three classes and their armor is inspired from old-ye medieval days.

3)  Give Titans Your Best Shot, Its Okay They Can Handle It

Gamers who enjoy playing shooters like space marines, will definitely seize the opportunity to play as Titans. Their super ability in subclass is the formidable fist of havoc, a hulk-like ground smash that annihilates nearby enemies. This skill can be upgraded, allowing those who control the Titans to unleash heavy blasts of shockwave energy. When you reach level fifteen you will then gain access to the Titan's other subclass defender ability, which allows you to handle as much enemy attacks as possible.

The defender's super skill is ward of dawn, which enables you to create a barrier protection shield for you and your team members. This ability can also be upgraded allowing those who wield it to increase weapon damage. The defenders melee attack builds an attack absorbing shield around you. Once upgraded, players can use this barrier to their advantage for quick weapon reloads in time for the next Fallen and Hive assault.
