Any hints on playing Titan and Juggernaut?
With Titan I have trouble keeping up with the speed of the other characters.
With Juggernaut I have a tough time getting in Shotgun range.
So far I use both only in certain occasions, e.g. Juggernaut for the holo-wall to play goalie in blitzball. But really like the rocket launcher and would main Titan if I could get around the map faster.
Some Titan tips:
- use right click (or left trigger) to manually detonate rockets, the splash radius is pretty big and you can use this to get damage on pesky airborne enemies
- direct hit rockets do 225 damage, highest burst in the game, but the movement speed on them is slow which makes them dodge-able by high mobility enemies. practice predicting where the squishies will go to next, if you can clip them with a direct hit it's gg.
- exiting the spawn door for the first time will regenerate your health, you can use this to rocket jump out of the spawn door for no health cost. combo it into a leap or another rocket jump if you "gotta go fast"
- the crisper is incredibly effective against wraith and assassin at close to medium range. it also chains lightning to nearby enemies so it's great for group fights on objectives. try to take advantage of the fact that it regenerates ammo if you release the trigger, because the reload on it is painfully slow.
- the neutron mine will slow down enemies so that you can hit them with rockets. it sticks to any surface and you can have a few of them out at once, so use it liberally. it's super effective! against wraith because when he cant jump he's hosed.
- don't use titan ult when enemies are already shooting you, because they'll likely burst you down before you can do anything. try popping it early when you think there's about to be a critical fight, the damage output is ridiculous

Some Juggernaut tips
- try to armor up as soon as you start taking damage as the mitigation begins instantly.
- the key to Juggs is managing your fuel, as you need it for both your tank stats and your mobility. try to conserve fuel as much as possible so you can tank up around objectives and critical skirmishes.
- use the shield wall to block incoming rockets, stuff blitzball carriers in front of the goal, deny harrier/enforcer/gunslinger ults, and to trap your teammates into hilariously bad positions
- the "two-piece" shotgun->knife combo is your bread and butter up close. it will burst squishies easily. if you want to get fancy you can three-piece with a shotgun->knife->kick.
- your sprint ability will do a ground slam if you trigger it from the air, dealing aoe damage on impact. try using it to stomp on enemy faces.
