— Description

Ion is an Atlas-based Titan class in Titanfall 2.[1][2] Ion Prime was added in Angel City's Most Wanted.

Overview[]

Ion is a Titan class that is based on the Atlas chassis design. Laser-focused, 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. Ion's primary weapon is a Splitter Rifle. The Ion has an energy bar that recharges slowly, and almost all of her attacks require using this bar (with the exception of un-split Splitter rifle and, if you have Zero-Point Tripwire, then deploying tripwire). Ion has relatively low damage, but its ability to take the place of almost any role on the battlefield makes this a good titan for beginners (hence the reason why it is first on the titan list, and why it is chosen for you at first.

Ion supports seven Warpaints; four vanilla and three DLC. She also supports 30 Nose Arts, 15 of which are DLC and 1 of which is Deluxe Edition-exclusive.

Field Notes[]

Strengths:

  • Can take multiple roles on the battlefield.
  • Vortex shield is very effective for repelling and redirecting most incoming projectiles back at enemy Titans.
  • Laser Shot is very effective for Titan weak points and Pilots.
  • Laser Core is very effective against most Titans and can be used for lane control and enemy suppression.
  • Laser mines are effective for area control and enemy suppresion.

Weaknesses:

  • Primary weapon has relatively low damage output.
  • Running out of energy can be bad in a combat situation.
  • Laser Shot requires pinpoint accuracy.
  • Can become vulnerable using Laser core.

Titanfall: Assault[]

Ion returns in Titanfall: Assault as a crowd-clearing Titan, using the Splitter Rifle to disperse squads of robotics. The Ion has two variants;

Trivia[]

  • With Ion's final Warpaint "Sandstorm" equipped, on Ion's left arm, there are three acronyms that are USA/DOD/AVM. These acronyms most likely stand for "United States of America," "Department of Defense," and "Adaptive Vehicle Make," respectively. Adaptive Vehicle Make was a series of projects overseen by DARPA under the US DOD to address new approaches to vehicle and weapon design.
  • As of December 2016, the Ion is the second most popular Titan within the game.[3]
  • Ion's OS is voiced by Corri English.

Bugs[]

  • The Red Baron warpaint, obtained by having played Battlefield 1 on the same account, will sometimes randomly disappear from your inventory, even if it was equipped. This can be fixed by logging into Battlefield 1 then switching back to Titanfall 2. It can also randomly fix itself after playing a multiplayer match or two.
