Atlas Reactor: Titus
One defining feature of Titus is his dash. His dash's range is the longest of all freelancers, in a straight-line. In a non-linear path, Asana's and/or Celeste's can easily surpass Titus's dash's range. It's a useful ability to get away from enemies.
To get much value out of it, however, you (as a Titus player), should dash and hit enemy(ies) which will then reduce the ability's CD by 2 i.e. half it. That's significant. To help him survive better in case enemies anticipate the dash towards them, I like to take the healing mod. In fact, I use the "Holy trinity" build (not my term):
(read this wiki for details on abilities and mods)
(1) Overhead Slam: Battlefield Triage (2 loadout points)
Healing mod. If you prefer a more damage-focused build (then you better hope your support can help you), then Power Hitter is a good choice
(2) Berserker Charge: Harvest (2 loadout points)
Healing mod.
(3) Thundering Road: Rallying Cry (2 loadout points)
Healing mod.
(4) Dirty Fighting: Flurry of Daggers (2 loadout points)
This is a great mod if you have allies who can consistently trigger the explosion. Reduction in CD is great because this ability is a Prep phase ability and so can be used to reveal enemy who plans to dash and/or be invisible.
I used to equip Rapid Follow-Up, which is a good mod if you intend to make sure that at least you'll be around to trigger the explosion next turn.
(5) Deathblow: Battle Rage (2 loadout points)
Choice of mod is due to leftover points. So it's this or Executioner. I don't like the latter because it's too conditional and at times can make players predictable. Nix has a similiar mod too and often such Nix player will wait for the condition to trigger before using its ultimate ability.
One thing I learn about Battle Rage is that, except for knockbacks, it seems that it's the last Blast phase action to be executed. This means that Titus can be hurt by enemies first and thus lowering his hp and increasing damage from Deathblow.
Below is a recent gameplay that shows the power of healing mods :)
