How to counter Alecto

No element beats Alecto, so blunt Fate's Judgment with Attack cuts, shields and healing.

Mairi - Abyss Curse cuts the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds, and Alecto is only immune to debuffs while Fate's Judgment is active.
Avalon - Forest Embrace puts a 1,831,968 shield on every ally, soaking most of the 2,570,370 a full 5-hit Fate's Judgment deals to one target.
Hyperion - Frigid Healing restores 1,733,546 to the ally with the least health, undoing much of the damage from Alecto's 5-hit dive.

How to counter Amon

Darkness and Elarite titans beat Amon, and Amon's huge Attack draws skills that target the top hitter.

Alecto - Alecto carries 213,000 Extra Damage to Light Titans, and Fate's Judgment dives the enemy with the highest Attack, where Amon's 1,008,472 ranks second only to Keros.
Mort - Dark beats Light, and Shadow Rampage curses the enemy with the highest Physical Attack, draining 1,548,204 Health from that target for 8.0 seconds.
Keros - Dark beats Light, and Keros outguns Amon at 1,084,853 Physical Attack against 1,008,472, with only 8,658,401 Health on Amon's side.
Umbra - Dark beats Light, Shadow Bond boosts Extra Attack against Light Titans, and Child of Darkness drains 50% Energy from nearby enemies.

How to counter Angus

Fire beats Earth, and Fire titans bring gear built to punish Earth targets.

Moloch - Fire beats Earth, his gear packs 405,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans, and Crushing Blow stuns the nearest enemies for 5.0 seconds.
Araji - Fire beats Earth, and Incinerating Ray pours 955,763 damage per second into the nearest enemy for 7.0 seconds, backed by 405,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans.
Vulcan - Fire beats Earth, and Erupting Rage drops a 2,446,929 cannon shot on the nearest enemy with 255,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans on top.
Ignis - Fire beats Earth, and Ignis stacks 250,500 Extra Defense from Earth Titans against the roots, while Burning Blood gives every ally 482,817 extra Attack for 6.0 seconds.

How to counter Araji

Water titans finish Araji's low Health fast, and Attack cuts or damage immunity blunt Incinerating Ray.

Mairi - Abyss Curse cuts the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds, longer than the 7.0-second Incinerating Ray, which depends on Attack. Water beats Fire too.
Nova - Water beats Fire, Araji has the lowest Health of all 27 at 7,923,803, and Nova's gear and Primordial Skin bring 823,195 Extra Damage to Fire Titans.
Sigurd - Water beats Fire, Sigurd carries 501,970 Extra Defense from Fire Titans, and Icy Aegis makes him immune to any damage for 5.0 seconds.
Brustar - Wormhole absorbs all incoming damage for 3.6 seconds and hits the attacker back for 1,389,029, a nasty surprise for a titan with 7,923,803 Health.

How to counter Asherona

Water titans beat Asherona and shrug off the steady burn of Child of Flame.

Tydus - Water beats Fire, Deep Current grants allied Water titans Extra Damage against Fire Titans, and his crown adds 255,000 more.
Mairi - Abyss Curse cuts the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds, and Water beats Fire.
Hyperion - Water beats Fire, and one Frigid Healing restores 1,733,546 to the ally with the least health, dwarfing a 169,907 tick of Child of Flame.
Sigurd - Water beats Fire, and Sigurd stacks 501,970 Extra Defense from Fire Titans from his crown and Primordial Skin.

How to counter Avalon

Fire titans with big hits break through Forest Embrace.

Vulcan - Fire beats Earth, and Erupting Rage hits for 2,446,929, enough to pop a 1,831,968Forest Embrace shield and still push 614,961 through.
Araji - Fire beats Earth, and Incinerating Ray deals 955,763 a second for 7.0 seconds, chewing through any single shield.
Moloch - Fire beats Earth, and Moloch's 405,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans backs a Crushing Blow that stuns the nearest enemies for 5.0 seconds.
Ignis - Fire beats Earth, and Burning Blood adds 482,817 Attack to all allies for 6.0 seconds, helping a Fire team out-damage the shields.

How to counter Brustar

Bring Light or Elarite titans, and have healing or an Attack cut ready for the damage Wormhole sends back.

Orm - Orm's gear carries 213,000 Extra Damage to Light and Darkness Titans and 270,600 Extra Defense from them, a clean edge over a Dark tank.
Iyari - Light beats Dark, and Beacon of Life restores 463,045 HP a second for 5.0 seconds to allied Light titans, more than the 1,389,029 that Wormhole sends back.
Lumira - Light beats Dark, and Eternal Sunshine gives allied Light titans a bonus to Extra Attack against Dark Titans.
Mairi - Wormhole returns 200% ATK to the attacker, so Abyss Curse cutting the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds shrinks that payback along with his basic hits.

How to counter Eden

Fire titans beat Eden, and stun protection trims Subterranean Prison.

Araji - Fire beats Earth, and Araji's 405,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans pairs with Herald of Flame, which speeds up allies by 30%.
Moloch - Fire beats Earth, and Moloch's gear holds 405,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans and 100,500 Extra Defense from them.
Asherona - Fire beats Earth, Blazing Blessing grants allied Fire titans Extra Damage against Earth Titans, and Child of Flame burns opponents around it over the center of the enemy team.
Solaris - Invoke Light grants a Light Particle to all allied Light Titans and the ally with the lowest health percentage, protecting them from the 2-second stun after Subterranean Prison. Solaris also has 213,000 Extra Damage to Earth Titans.

How to counter Hyperion

Earth titans beat Hyperion, and a big shield soaks most of Frost Needles.

Eden - Earth beats Water, and Eden carries 255,000 Extra Damage to Water Titans and 250,500 Extra Defense from them.
Avalon - Earth beats Water, and the 1,831,968Forest Embrace shield absorbs most of the 2,600,319 that Frost Needles deals at full strength.

Angus - Earth beats Water, and Anger of the Earth hits the whole opposing team, so Hyperion's 9,511,233 Health takes damage wherever Hyperion is placed.

How to counter Ignis

Water titans and Attack cuts undo Burning Blood.

Mairi - Abyss Curse cuts the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds, outlasting the 6.0-second Burning Blood buff. Water beats Fire too.

Hyperion - Water beats Fire, Hyperion's crown adds 255,000 Extra Damage to Fire Titans, and Frost Needles hits for up to 2,600,319.

How to counter Iyari

Darkness titans that drain or block Energy, plus Elarite gear, keep Beacon of Life from carrying the fight.

Tenebris - Dark beats Light, and a target hit by Touch of the Abyss cannot restore energy, so the 100 Energy a second from Beacon of Life does nothing for that target.
Umbra - Dark beats Light, and Child of Darkness drains 50% Energy from nearby enemies before passing it to the allied titan with the highest current Energy.
Alecto - Fate's Judgment dives the enemy with the highest Attack, and Iyari's 926,089 can fit the bill. Alecto has 213,000 Extra Damage to Light Titans too.
Orm - Orm's gear stacks 270,600 Extra Defense and 213,000 Extra Damage against Light and Darkness Titans.

How to counter Keros

Keros has the highest Physical Attack of all, so skills that hunt the top hitter land right on Keros.

Alecto - Fate's Judgment dashes behind the enemy with the highest Attack, and Keros tops the roster at 1,084,853. Alecto's gear adds 213,000 Extra Damage to Darkness Titans.
Mort - Shadow Rampage curses the enemy with the highest Physical Attack, siphoning 1,548,204 Health and 193,525 Physical Attack from Keros for 8.0 seconds.
Lumira - Light beats Dark, and with 5 Light titans alive, Eternal Sunshine makes allied Light titans stun the enemy with the highest Physical Attack for 4.0 seconds upon using their first ability. That is Keros.
Mairi - Abyss Curse cuts the Attack of all enemies by 40% for 8.0 seconds, and the 1,952,734 of Essence Burnout depends on Attack.

How to counter Lumira

Darkness titans that drain or block Energy break Lumira's engine, and Elarite gear helps.

Umbra - Dark beats Light, and Child of Darkness drains 50% Energy from nearby enemies, while Shadow Bond boosts Extra Attack against Light Titans.
Tenebris - Dark beats Light, and a titan cursed by Touch of the Abyss cannot restore energy, so the Energy that Child of Light hands out does not help that titan.
Alecto - No element beats Alecto, and her gear carries 213,000 Extra Damage to Light and Darkness Titans plus 120,600 Extra Defense from them.
Orm - No element beats Orm, and Orm's gear stacks 213,000 Extra Damage to Light and Darkness Titans and 270,600 Extra Defense from them.

How to counter Mairi

Earth titans hold the elemental edge over Mairi and bring gear built for Water targets.

Verdoc - Earth beats Water, and Verdoc's gear holds 405,000 Extra Damage to Water Titans, with Earth's Call adding more for allied Earth titans.
Angus - Earth beats Water, his crown and Primordial Skin add 673,195 Extra Damage to Water Titans, and Anger of the Earth hits everyone on the opposing team.
Eden - Earth beats Water, Subterranean Prison pulls a random enemy underground for 6.0 seconds and stuns that enemy for 2 more, and Eden carries 255,000 Extra Damage to Water Titans.
Sylva - Earth beats Water, and Sylva's gear gives 250,500 Extra Defense from Water Titans against Mairi's 689,745 basic hits.

How to counter Moloch

Water titans hit Moloch hardest, and stun protection takes the sting out of Crushing Blow.

Nova - Water beats Fire, and Nova's weapon, crown and Primordial Skin pile up 823,195 Extra Damage to Fire Titans.
Sigurd - Water beats Fire, and Sigurd carries 501,970 Extra Defense from Fire Titans. While Icy Aegis is up he is immune to any damage for 5.0 seconds, so the 1,297,015 damage of Crushing Blow cannot hurt him in that window.
Tydus - Water beats Fire, and Child of Water steals Health every second from the enemy with the most of it. Moloch's 14,565,746 Health makes Moloch a likely target.
Solaris - Invoke Light grants a Light Particle to all allied Light Titans and the ally with the lowest health percentage for 8.0 seconds, and the Particle protects them from the stun effect of Crushing Blow. Solaris also has 213,000 Extra Damage to Fire Titans.

How to counter Mort

Light and Elarite titans beat Mort, and healing refunds what Shadow Rampage drains.

Iyari - Light beats Dark, and Beacon of Life restores 463,045 HP a second to allied Light titans for 5.0 seconds, more than refunding the 1,548,204 Health that Shadow Rampage siphons.
Orm - Orm's gear targets Light and Darkness Titans with 213,000 Extra Damage and 270,600 Extra Defense, so Mort's hits land softer.
Lumira - Light beats Dark, and Eternal Sunshine adds a bonus to Extra Attack against Dark Titans for allied Light titans.

Angus - Earth beats Water, and Anger of the Earth hits everyone on the opposing team for 2,350,464 over 8.0 seconds, so Nova is hit wherever she stands.
Eden - Earth beats Water, and Burden of Creation lands 2,709,003 on enemies next to the impact, a big bite out of Nova's thin Health pool.
Sylva - Earth beats Water, and Sylva's weapon and crown hold 250,500 Extra Defense from Water Titans against Nova's 739,190 basic hits.
Solaris - Invoke Light grants a Light Particle to all allied Light Titans and the ally with the lowest health percentage for 8.0 seconds, protecting them from the 4-second stun of North Wind. Solaris also has 213,000 Extra Damage to Water Titans.

How to counter Orm

No element beats Orm, so shield and heal the titan in the center, which takes Devastating Link's stored damage when the effect ends.

Avalon - Forest Embrace shields every ally for 1,831,968, so the titan in the center that Devastating Link binds has a buffer when the stored damage lands.
Hyperion - Frigid Healing restores 1,733,546 to the ally with the least health, patching up whoever is lowest after Devastating Link's payback.

How to counter Sigurd

Bring Earth titans and keep the damage flowing past the 5 seconds of Icy Aegis.

Angus - Anger of the Earth ticks for 8.0 seconds, outlasting the 5-second Icy Aegis, and his crown and Primordial Skin add 673,195 Extra Damage to Water Titans.

Sylva - Earth beats Water, and Emerald Storm fires 6 arrows of 461,148 each, backed by 255,000 Extra Damage to Water Titans once the shield drops.

Light titans that hand out Energy undo Tenebris's drain, and Elarite gear hits Darkness hard.

Iyari - Light beats Dark, and Beacon of Life restores 100 Energy and 463,045 HP a second, refunding the 200 Energy that Eternal Sacrifice takes.
