keys to a big titan hit (besides items and boards) are:
- wu kong
- defense debuffer (generic like ramming pulverizer and color specific like jackel et al)
- attack buffer
- strong color heroes with big attack stats (specials don’t matter).
It’s important to have as many defense debuffers leveled as possible so you can always use a strong color debuffer, allowing you to bring more strong color heroes.
#4 means that Little John is significantly better vs blue titans than Caedmon, even though most people agree caed is the better all around hero. Same with Elena or Azlar vs Marjana, etc.
i.e. a team of BT Wu Grimm Sartana and sabina aren’t going to do as much damage to a yellow as BT Wu Tibertus sartana and sabina.
Also Pro Tip - don’t just blindly charge up your heroes with mana potions right at the beginning - look at the board, if there’s not good strong color tile damage, you’re just wasting mana and turns of specials. Let the board develop a bit, get a few stuns, charge heroes with gems, wait for strong color gems. Then charge up and go crazy.
Pro Tip #2 - you only need antidotes for damage over time and blind. All the attack and defense debuff titan specials can be overwritten with banners (turtle, dragon, bear).
Pro Tip #3 - any diamond is a priority to create, even if you don’t have that hero color. Reason being is this is what leads to crazy cascades and damage. Similarly, if you made a diamond and have the option for popping a diamond or making a 2nd diamond, unless the first diamond is your strong color, make the 2nd diamond then pop whichever looks like it has the best chance of organically popping the other diamond.
