the titan cards seem like nice rewards, but there's just 5 cave trials to go through, and if you can beat those, you can beat the regular game for any of the lords.
Has anyone found a strategic use for titan units that justifies waiting that long spawn time where you can crush a castle at lvl 30 much faster?
I gave it a try with the fire demon. love how it kept the other titans in cave 4 busy, they didn't even touch my army that was methodically shredding the castle. fire demon + athena card = easy win. yeah, the other titans are pretty pointless since fire demon can move forward as it attacks.
The lord of shadow is a powerhouse but it doesn't have an ability worth mentioning. The most dangerous enemy troops are still the enemy ranged units. If you can backup your titan with close catas (magic cannons) that are good for stopping enemy ranged, it is nearly unstoppable, but the catas also come into range of enemy titan this way. You cannot afford the titan or even that catas dying since they take too long to replace.
A great deal of spells can fullfill the roles of the titans. A building spot for titan is just too much to waste as many units are cheap and effective, ranged units often do more damage compared to the titans.
Well, cave4 doesn't need a titan to clear if you are good at retreats. A fire demon can only speed things up.
I still end up using the fire demon at the exclusion of the others, having a dragon titan would've definitely been welcome addition as the titan of titans.
The more I play epic war 3 the less I need to use titans at all. they really feel like an afterthought. Nice to see the titans are more useful in epic war 4, especially since ranged units got rebalanced, but that shield and time stop spell turns anything into a titan anyway.
