Once the Ankylon is in range of the enemy fleet, Disruption Matrix and Inspire and Impair must be used as an opening move to gain initiative. One way to best use the Ankylon is to let it lead in front, with the accompanying fleet in a considerable safe distance behind it (not too close yet not too far). Therefore, one must keep in mind that the Ankylon was not meant to provide invincibility and infallible static defense, but rather to assist a fleet that is constantly adjusting itself in the face of battle, whether in position or tactics. It is often a common mistake made by players to clump the fleet and the Ankylon together, spam a barrage of Disruption Matrix, Group Shield and Inspire and Impair, then let the Ankylon and the fleet just sit and shoot without any afterthought.įor example, if pitted against the TEC Rebel's Ragnarov Titan, the immense AOE damage of Explosive Shot or Scattershot skill can decimate a group of smaller frigates gathered around the Ankylon even if they are engulfed in Group Shield. The most significant drawback to this, is that it also exposes the fleet to the enemy's own AoE. The Ankylon, being the epitome of the TEC Loyalist philosophy of isolation and entrenchment, excels in unparalleled defense and fleet assistance.īecause of the Area-of-Effect nature of all except one ( Furious Defense) of the Ankylon's skills, It is very effective if accompanied by a large fleet kept within the range of effect.
Thus, it is a good strategy to place it right in the middle of an enemy fleet to inflict maximum damage and ensure that its Area-of-Effect abilities will have their greatest effect. Its weapons layout is different from the other Titans: it is the only one of them to be focused on broadside combat and also has equally powerful fore and aft batteries-it is capable of truly omnidirectional combat. It can extend its shields around other ships, disable enemy abilities, reduce allies' ability cooldown timers and extend enemy ability cooldowns all while giving and taking a severe beating. The Ankylon is a massive tank and buff machine capable of defending an entire gravity well. The Ankylon Titan is the TEC Loyalist's Titan added in the Rebellion stand-alone expansion. A mighty warship that specializes in supporting friendly fleets with many defensive abilities.
