Storm nades I guess
#Titan struggling to melt Primeval in freelance gambit

I'm slaying out just fine with arc grenade spam and making wells everywhere, or spamming sol invictus with hammers, but getting the primeval down before it enters a new invuln phase is really difficult.

You can’t dodge it
You can partially do
hot prism
Yea but it has to be a instant of damage
knotty cedar
could you explain the immune phases, then? Because with invasions returning health and such, I've often lost matches to invuln phases despite our team spawning the primeval first by a fair margin.
tribal summit
Okay basically you see the three bars on it’s healthbar right
knotty cedar
yup
tribal summit
Once those are passed it becomes invulnerable and spawns new escorts
It’s like how caretaker in vow works
knotty cedar
m'kay, and if it heals even just a little bit and recovers one of those black lines, that adds an invuln phase?
tribal summit
You have maybe like a second or two, also similarly to caretaker, until it becomes invuln
knotty cedar
okay, thanks, I hate it
tribal summit
m'kay, and if it heals even just a little bit and recovers one of those black li...
No, it’s whenever you deplete a third of its healthbar or whenever too much time passes
Those bars are indicators
Killing an enemy guardian heals it by like 1/6 iirc
knotty cedar
oh, okay, so if it heals from an invasion, the next invulnerability will trigger after another 1/3rd of its health, regardless of if that lines up with a black line on the healthbar or not
tribal summit
Exactly what I was typing out lmao
knotty cedar
m'kay, thanks
tribal summit
Not sure if that’s exactly the case but that’s what my impression of it is
knotty cedar
time to pull out freakin' Riven solo cheese strats I guess
tribal summit
The main trick I’d recommend is to wait until right after they get it’s second chunk of health down, then to invade
You never wanna invade unless their primeval is damaged significantly, and assuming you can get 2 or even 3 kills you can set them back a ton
Sadly this is freelance so I can’t make any garuntees that your teammates will know this
knotty cedar
Knowing this myself will at least help, thanks a bunch 👍
tribal summit
Yup
Further reccomendations include xenophage for invading and hoil for general adclear purposes
Aside from that, just get gud lmao

list of burst options I'm considering:
wormgod caress + roaring flames hammer throw
that one-two-punch + void shield bash strat I heard vague rumors about
synthoceps + consecration
if not, I'll just stick to good ol' HOIL storm nades and git gud
tribal summit
One two punch shieldbash is weird and super specific with the timing
Or so I’ve heard
next hinge
Shieldbash wormgods will not work
If you really wanna melt, this is the strat my team used to get to top 1k in gambit
3 or 4 thundercrash titans, 4 is hyper optimal and not very necessary,
All 3 of them need the storm nade build with hoil and cuirass ready to go
Use hoil storm nades throughout the match but then once you reach primeval 4x, you're gonna wanna switch to cuirass, tractor the boss, and then all tcrashes must hit the boss at the same time

its not
slate cedar
Shieldbash wormgods will not work
yea it does
next hinge
yea it does
It's pretty hard to pull off tbh
Especially if your solo, most ads in mid are dead
It could work but it's a bit hard
slate cedar
if ur solo there are other things i would be more worried about
every class in the game has a consistent ability damage cycle now
next hinge
titans are>
knotty cedar

What would you worry more about, then? So far my priority is murdering stuff fast to gen motes and wells for everyone, as well as erasing blockers asap.
slate cedar
ignore ur teammates
