Noob question: does the placement of heroes whilst facing a titan matter? Does the middle one protect the flanks, and the flanks protect the wings in an overlapping manner?

Rarely.
No.

For normal titans no. They are attack all special skills.

Some rare titans have special skill, effect mana generation, target and nearby. So placing heroes in the corner protects them from RNG ( see notes ). Spreading out important heroes keeps all from being effected by the target and nearby reduced mana generation ( see notes ).

I use the same placement for normal titans so I do not forget when facing rare titans.

Usually more important in raids or against Season 2 Bosses.

Any of the center 3 heroes have equal chances to be hit by splash attacks. Left corner, left flank and center as targets will all do splash damage to left flank, for instance.

Probability of being hit by a randomly-targeted splash attack:
Corner: 40%
Flank: 60%
Center: 60%

2. Do any of the opponents have specials that attack nearby heroes? If so, try to create a gap between important heroes that could be hit by those opponents.

• Example: Gravemaker hits three adjacent heroes and does extra damage against nature heroes, so if you are bringing two nature heroes against GM, try to put them on opposite sides of the lineup.

@IvyTheTerrible

Let’s say I feel I need to strongly counter something in my opponent’s offense, such that I bring two heroes with a given (similar) skill. This could be two healers, or two dispellers. Separate those heroes, such that they can’t both be simultaneously affected by mana control skills.
