History Characters / Titanfall2

* FacialHorror: Scorch has a habit of trying to burn his enemies in the faces - his standard execution involves what is him literally rubbing his Flame Shield in the enemy's face. His callsign banner shows him doing the same thing, and is aptly named "Facemelter".

* SplashDamage: Arguably the Titan most specialized in this. The Thermite Launcher, the Firewall, and the Flame Core all leave behind thermites that damage anyone who stands on them.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Fire Wall is limited to the ground and cannot bypass high cover (though it can go over anything low enough), and Scorch's primary weapon is a single-round weapon with a long reload time. Combining these with Scorch's overall low mobility and limited weapon range, Pilots and faster Titans, or even infantry, can destroy Scorch if he's caught out of position. Moreover, Scorch is not invulnerable to his own weaponry - He will take area-of-effect thermite damage from the Thermite Launcher and Fire Wall (unless players equip the kit that negates self-inflicted thermite damage).

** Her ordnance "Cluster Missile" creates a sustained mini-explosion on impact with any surface.

* NotTheIntendedUse: The Cluster Missile can be used to take out rodeoing enemy Pilots if Northstar fires one at the wall and then places her back at the blast (which will take out the rodeoing Pilot). This is probably not intended.

* SpectacularSpinning: The magazine of the Plasma Railgun spins while it charges up and becomes more dangerous.
* SplashDamage: Her Cluster Missile deals this, especially if you go for the kit that increases the explosions even further.
* TheStrategist: She gives a lot of advice about how to use her various abilities, such as that Tether Traps can slow the enemies or that Hovering can assist evasion. She does this most frequently when she and her Pilot are outnumbered or when she is taking excessive damage.

* {{BFS}}: Rather than the standard punch, Ronin's melee attack is him taking a swipe at enemies with his Broadsword.

* DifficultButAwesome: Ronin is as fragile as his sister mech Northstar, but where Northstar is meant to be played at range and defensively, Ronin is meant to be played as an aggressive frontliner. His fragility means that getting into a bad situation can be fatal, and his shotgun weapon means that the only way to effectively fight is at super close range. The tradeoff is that Ronin can deal incredible damage with his sword, shotgun, and Arc Wave. As well, he is very difficult to catch thanks to having two dodges and his Phase Shift, meaning Ronin can enter and leave fights at a solid pace and use his 70% damage reduction sword to be tankier than he might seem. Played right, Ronin will be rapidly chunking pieces of your opponents' Titans and take no damage, all while you glide around the battlefield (mostly) untouched.

** LightningBruiser: Ronin's Sword Block reduces incoming damage by a whooping 70% and, more vitally, ''can be used indefinitely''. Thus, a well-played Ronin will have '''far''' higher durability than his HP bars suggest and likely end up as this trope.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Downplayed, as it's just a skin. Ronin Prime's Broadsword is changed to look more like a katana instead of a big cleaver sword, allowing the Titan to live up to its namesake.

* MythicalMotifs: Downplayed, but Ronin does seem to have a ghost motif. One of his nosearts is "Wraith", which, as its name implied, is the image of a ghost. One of his Aegis rank upgrades is called "Ghost in the machine", which enables two charges for Phase Dash. Actually, this motif fits Ronin's sneaky, phase-dashing playstyle pretty well.

* ShockAndAwe: Can create waves of electricity by slashing his Broadsword.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Ronin's standard weapon is the Leadwall shotgun, a powerful close-range weapon.

* SplashDamage: The Arc Wave hits and stuns everybody who's unlucky enough to be in its path.
* SuperMode: His Sword Core temporarily enhances the damage output of his Broadsword, enables faster movement, and reduces the cooldown time of his dashes.
* SwordBeam: The "Arc Wave" ordnance has Ronin create a wave of electricity from where he slashes his Broadsword in a straight line. Getting hit by one (be it a Pilot or Titan) causes damage, while distorting visions and slowing down movement.

* GrenadeLauncher: His primary weapon, also the only way for him to hit airborne targets.

** The Flame Core, on the other hand, incinerates all targets in its wide area-of-effect attack as an out-going wall of fire.
* HavingABlast: The Flame Core is essentially a massive explosion that leaves a trail of thermites behind. Scorch's standard execution involves him pinning the enemy Titan to the ground and apparently filling the latter with so much heat he/she explodes. The execution of Prime Scorch is similar, except with the finishing blow being a Flame Core.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His "Flame Shield" melts all incoming enemy fire, and also damages enemy Pilots and Titans if they come into contact with it. One kit increases the damage dealt by Flame Shield and its duration.

* TheWorfEffect: Despite being capable of taking on groups of soldiers and a couple of Titans in the game's intro single-handedly, the Apex Predators took Lastimosa out not long after they landed on Typhon. In Lastimosa's defense, the Apex Predators aren't a joke and are on a [[AcePilot different level compared to the IMC grunts]], not to mention all their members ganged up on him at once.

* AceCustom: Slone has modified her Ion Titan to repeatedly fire its Laser Core and also utilize Phase Shift, an ability only Ronin Titans have.

* GutturalGrowler: Ronin's AI sounds like he eats gravel for breakfast.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: To some extent. His [[QuickMelee melee attacks]] will send [=IMC=] grunts ''flying'', and even the MechaMooks go down in a couple of hits. It could ''maybe'' be argued that his hits are assisted by the jump kit, but other than that there's little explanation for how he can (almost) hit like a Titan.

* NotSoStoic: Like the other Titan AIs, Northstar is [[TheStoic unemotional]]... except when she's taking damage while doomed. In that situation, she would desperately urge her Pilot to eject, with a clear hint of ''panic'' in her voice (presumably out of concerns for her Pilot's safety). This [[FridgeBrilliance actually makes a lot of sense]] since Northstar, being a [[GlassCannon highly-damaging but fragile Titan]], isn't as capable of protecting her Pilot as the other Titans.

* RatedMForManly: Legion is by far the manliest Titan: He has a deep voice and a [[StoutStrength stout build]], and when outnumbered, his preferred course of action is to ''stay and fight'' (unlike the other Titans, all of whom would recommend defensive or evasive tactics). There is little wonder that Legion's Titan Restaurants banner is "Liquor and Wine".

* AceCustom: Slone's customized Ion Titan can not only use its Laser Core consecutively but can also Phase Shift, an ability only available to Ronin Titans.

* BadassBaritone: His AI has a pretty darn impressive deep voice.

* BadassBaritone: His AI has a very deep, booming voice.

* RatedMForManly: Legion is by far the manliest Titan: He has a [[BadassBaritone deep voice]] and a [[StoutStrength stout build]], and when outnumbered, his preferred course of action is to ''stay and fight'' (unlike the other Titans, all of whom would recommend defensive or evasive tactics). There is little wonder that Legion's Titan Restaurants banner is "Liquor and Wine".

* ContraltoOfDanger: Tone has the deepest voice out of all the female(?) Titans. She was so dangerous that she needed to be {{Nerf}}ed to make the game more balanced.

She also makes a playable appearance in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends''; for tropes about her appearance and lore in that game, [[Characters/ApexLegendsOffense click here]].

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: At first, BT is stoic and all about his mission, but it's clear he grows to like Cooper as they [[FireForgedFriends undergo various ordeals together]]. Exemplified when [[spoiler:BT asks Commander Sarah Briggs to let Cooper remain as his Pilot]].
