Was this video created before or after the nerf?

*How to master Tone:* 1. On the main menu, select “Titan”. 2. Click Tone. 3. Enter a game. 4. Profit.

I seriously expected a 1min video.

I just picked this game up for a whole $10. The best cheap game find ever.

Shoot shoot shoot Rockets Shoot shoot shoot Rockets Shoot shoot shoot Rockets SALVO CORE repeat

I love it when the enemies are in a conga line. I can lock all of them at once and the guy in the front is practically free core'd.

I feel people's problem with Tone isn't that she's necessarily overpowered; she's just easy to use. As with a lot of games, most of the complaints I see for Tone are less her actually being a problem and more people not wanting to adapt or learn new strategies. I won't pretend she's not extremely powerful, but playing as Tone almost exclusively it's sort of baffling what people don't do when fighting me. So many people just pretend the rockets aren't even a thing and try tanking them. And then I'll fight people who do know what to do, and it makes Tone feel a lot weaker. Still good, but not broken as many would lead you to believe, and fighting these sorts of people actually requires you to think a little more (such as timing when to shoot your rockets or properly curving them around cover).

How to play Tone: Shoot, shoot, shoot, lock-on missile, then Salvo Core.

How to master tone: select "Tone" as you titan👍

do you even have to make a guide on this one

"If you insist upon not taking the great wall of china as you're titan kit" is the ultimate sentence

FrothyOmen - The best Titanfall 2 KZfaqr ever.

Here's a strategy I've adopted when it comes to keeping my Titan alive longer. Run with Emergency Battery and use Arc Grenades and Low Profile, then let the enemy call in his Titan, and take its battery. If you didn't have your Titan fully ready to drop, you certainly would now. Then you get your Titan, a free battery, and a spare one when your shield goes down. My Tone would last so long, I would only lose my Titan nearing the end of the match.

You cant play tone bc tone plays you

I know Overcore is really good but goddamn I am definitely too attached to my 2nd dash... I have to have _all_ of the speed

The best guide video I've ever seen for any game, PERIOD. Great video Frothy you just got a new subscriber. Keep it up you have me very good information and taught me how to use Tone much more effectively. THANK YOU.

Just recently bought this game for practicing Apex Legends and now I find myself having more fun with Titanfall 2

This video: *exists* Any sane person: **NO**

Hey frothy, with the particle wall damage thing, I think that every titan defensive ability just has a multiplier that causes it to fall extremely fast to cores. For example, ion's vortex shield loses power immediately when hit with a salvo core, same with scorch's thermal shield. I think it's purposely done by the devs so that cores can't just be completely negated by defensive abilities.

Ok, I've been one of the biggest supporters of the Tone nerf, and now that it has happened I hope that it will allow the pilots who main Tone to continue to be amazing. I hate the thought of a Titan or gun being made into a nerf launcher when it only needed a minor change. If you put the time into a Titan and master it you should be allowed to beat the shit out of the kid who only plays every once and a while. TOO WRAP UP, I hope this nerf separates the ones who put in effort with the Tone and the ones who just spammed the hell out of the missile launcher. ❤A Legion pilot.

Sounded like a relationship guide for a second lol "get to know her, play with her, be with her"

As a tone main, I get hated a lot. I feel that tone is hated because of the fact that her 40 mm is pretty broken, and the salvo core as well.however Tone is very easy to counter from my perspective, Ronin, And Scorch I find most effective as a counter. Even though I Main Tone, I hate the splash damage on the 40 mm, it’s a tracking weapon, and it’s shouldn’t be that good. I like tone because it all nails down to one thing: Getting locks. I always like the idea of getting a lock on SOMTHING before firing or shooting it. Ion is also a good counter. I also use tone at medium range and not try to be one of those people that hunt down pilots and titans using sonar lock. I get a lot of hate when I play as tone in the game chat. They should nerf the salvo core as well, it feels dirty when I deal that amount of damage. But I like using Salvo core on groups of titans, so I can deal splash damage to each titan. I love tone because of the lock on gimmick, not that I get kills with her. I also love the executions, they look really cool in my opinion. But I think they should nerf Tones splash damage on the 40 mm, and nerf the salvo core so that it deals less damage on impact. Either way, Tone is my favorite titan still. Cant change my mind.

Always like the content you present, and the manner in which you do so. I am still fairly new to Titanfall 2, and would really like to see a presentation on the RODEO action (basic mechanics, usage, hints, tactics, vs. opposition, support for team, etc. - in other words, a complete picture of it). Thanks again for all that you do for the Titanfall community!

As someone who mains tone, this guide is really gonna help me hone in her potential. Thanks frothy! P.s. To anyone thinking im a scrub for saying that, plz take note that I'd kick anyone's ass with all the other titans just as well as with tone. Have a good day! 😊😊😊😊

Great guide. It's useful to point out that when trying to be efficient with tracking rockets, more rockets are fired for each lock so if you have one titan at 3 and one or two others at 2 locks it's sometimes worth it to get more locks in that tracking rocket burst rather than immediately launching.

I Loved your mastering Titans series. Before the videos all I would do is play tone. Now I main ronin and gave fun playing all the other titans as well thanks to you +FrothyOmen. I can't wait to see what other videos you make. Keep up the good work fella!!

I feel as tone was a Titan that lacked a bit of skill to use, but now that the nerf patch came I really feel like this will really show who uses skill for this Titan based on how easily you kill them -Love an ION pilot

Getting back into Titanfall again after it first released. Good information on here. Awesome video!

Frothy I never knew when another Tone has his particle wall up you can splash damage I've never seen anyone do that Thank You so much!!

Well right now I can`t run tone anyway in public play since the whole eemy team ususally consists of tone hunting ronins :/

As an option to play tone against tone is to wait while enemy tone drops wall. Then dash forward behind his wall and punch him. Then drop your wall. In this way you obtain one wall in front of you and one behind.

Thank you for this guide man Im playing this now in 2022 and it still fun to me both multiplayer and frontier defense

Maybe it’s just me, but I think Tone is balanced currently (in 2020). Ronin is my go-to when I see consistent Tone players, and I become their Kryptonite as soon as I see them. Just use sword block and phase dash and then throw an arc wave in, goes straight through their shield and bust them up with the Leadwall.

ya know, as a tone main, i LOVE burst loader. it's really fun instantly puncturing three bullets into a titan at the same time as one, followed by tracking rockets. admittedly, it really does suck against pilots.

Cores do significant bonus damage to defensive abilities in order to make them harder to counter. This allows you to disable both flame and vortex shield.

"Know your enemy" is the best advice. I love Tone, but I forced myself to play all the Titans to regen to know how they work. It's a lot of fun and I learned that Northstar is beststar.

Don't know if this is crazy or not... but, I think Scorch should have two shots in his launcher and maybe and kit for 3 or something. This will make him a better minion killer and better against other titans. The devs should play with and test the damage output to make sure nothings op. And maybe mess with the cooldown times for his other abilities. As for ronin he needs a few more shots in his primary as well. Similarly, balance the damage output too. Maybe slightly more health. His blocks, arc wave, and mobility are already great. And some kind of buff for northstar for her minion killing output, maybe a sharper reticle, and slightly more health but, not a much a ronins since she has awesome damage output from long ranges. I dont think it would be too difficult to bring the other titans up to par against tone and maybe ion. As for the game, I think it will be amazing by the end of its life cycle even if it has low player count and I have great hopes for titanfall 3. That is where they really need to show us everything they've learned. Step up the graphics, have more map variety, separate maps for pilots versus pilots.. (still have titan mode maps as well in the playlist), more titans, more weapons, more abilities, bring back old maps again (angel city was incredible the first time i played it), and last but not least get more customization into the game. Thats what keeps the cod players goin back for more. And, a few more things I cant think of right now. But anyways, Titanfall really will be something very special one day... I know it. ***Like this so frothy and the devs see this if you agree and reply with opinions.

If I'm playing Northstar and a Tone throws up a particle wall, I just shoot my cluster missile at it. People seem to forget that it still does damage when you're standing next to it so I've managed to deal tons of damage to tone. As for the post update? Tone is interesting. The smaller 40mm hit box was definitely noticeable as I seemed to miss a lot of my shots when taking on pilots, but I quickly adjusted. The sonar cooldown time seems WAY too long in my opinion and the Salvo Core...I didn't notice much of a difference to be honest. I took an Ion from full health to doomed with my salvo core yesterday so... Overall Tone seems to be okay. Just my opinion.

This video helped me so much in the couple years that I’ve been playing. Thank you so much!

I have been struggling with Tone and now with this video I think I have a much better idea of how to play Tone. Thanks as always a great job.

Tone is the smart pistol of titans

as a tone main I would say an effective counter to Tone is Ronin. at least until they fix Ronin's sword block

I know a lot of people are saying this guide is useless because Tone is brain-dead, but this guide helped me understand footsies with her Particle Shield, and it helped me understand how to use her. Thank you!

Really appreciate your work. You take a craftsman like approach to these guides. They are always comprehensive and entertaining. I am subscribing as I write this and look forward to your future content!!!

To your point about laser core dropping particle wall, I've noticed that with other abilities too. For instance, if you try and block shots from a Legion's Smart Core with an Ion or Scorch shield, the shield drops way faster than normal. I'm assuming this is intentional on Respawn's part, all the defensive abilities seem to suffer from this. Legion's gun shield is a possible exception - maybe this is just post patch but last night I felt like I could block almost all of a Salvo Core with that. it's possible my opponent just missed, but this happened more than once, so I'm not sure.

You forgot that Ronin's Arc Wave also one-shots the particle wall.

I’ve currently a 57regen on this game and your tips for pilots/titans have shown me things I would never have thought of doing. I look forward to using these tips.

This 4 year old video still gets me excited to play tone on titanfall 2

17:32 Hey, it's the speedrun guy!!!

Heres a fact you didn't know about rocket solo: You can shoot the salvo up in the sky and where ever your pointing your gun the rockets will follow.

This is my favorite guide series for any fps game

As a Tone main I can say that Pulse Blade Echo is the best Tone kit because it allows you to play mind games with your enemies.Since a lot of players have learnt to counter Tone by counting locks, your opponent is completely unprepared for the extra lock that you somehow conjured out of nowhere. My tactic is: Sonar Blade, 40 mm, Particle Wall, Rockets. You can repeat this a second time, but I wouldent count on it. Follow this up with a Salvo Core, (Which you have earned via Battery Back Up and Overcore) to finish the first titan off and to heavily damage the Ronin who is definately in your face and spamming his sword. Pop electric smoke and rinse and repeat.

After 3 years it's sad to see people still hating on tone like she's the most broken titan ever when honestly monarch is wayyy more toxic. Tone can be a bit of a nuisance but has easy counterplay. STOP HATING ON TONE. She really isn't that bad anymore. I honestly would rather fight a team of tones than a team of monarchs.

A 24 minute guide to master Tone? DaFuck? 😂✋

This is why I love ronin because he is fast and can get behind people with there campfire and marshmallows camping like a baby

The punching wall tip was extremely useful. Thanks.

No......... NNNNOOOOOOOOOO! We do not need this!!!!!! We don't need to be told how to cancer!!!!! Frothy why!!!!!

How to use tone: R2 R2 R2 R2 R1 Rinse and repeat

Frothy if your there I love your i stared watching your vids a week after titanfall 2 came out and I watched almost all of them your the best titanfall 2 you tuner with stat testing I just wachted the tone vid it was great

Tone is a great glass tank, which is pretty much how I play every shooter so I love her to bits

I love the 40mm cannon. Imo the best Titan primary weapon

One more thing after live fire I played and I found a enemy team with two legions two tones and a North Star and the tone put up like tone kit particle wall while legion did damage and reloading before it went down and after the particle wall went Down legion used shield and did damage and then dashed behind cover and reloaded and the enemy team did this twice a round with a North Star snipping frothy pls explain how to counter this ion legion maybe scorch with load out I don't know

Lots of people don't realize, but using sonar lock when you can't get shots on the enemy is great I.E. if a titan is running or has a shield ability up, hide and fire your sonar for a "free" lock

As a Tone main, words of advice for new tone players: -Scorch and Ronin are your worst nightmare -Kill Monarch AT ALL COSTS -Try to get an unusual angle on enemy titans, peek over a building, across the map through 8 gaps, hit those locks, look up, fire, they will not expect it -if you have a salvo core and a scorch is charging you, pop a smoke, dash backwards, let it rip. Even if you're doomed you'll at least drop him to quarter health. -Never, EVER, EVER PUSH A NORTHSTAR, That boy has a flight core and a tether with your name on it. -If you got enemies cluttered up, pop a wall, use your pulse, fire your 40 mil, profit, if they get close, pop a smoke and use the punch strat in the video

Quick question Frothy, since you talked about using the strategy of footies with people approaching your partial wall (and using electric smoke with that), would you consider the extra smoke perk as a potential strategy? Just thinking about options here.

OK, wow that technique of standing behind your wall and punching is ridiculously good. Especially if you drop electric smoke at the same time. I wasn’t convinced, but I got two kills in the same game with it just now so had to come back just to comment

Auto loader is great for SNIPER TONE! Since northstar is basically a counter to tone's particle shield; autoloader can assist you in "sniping" back! It changes the gameplay slightly, but like the other kits for every Titan, it changes the game in a fun new way!

have a good day :D

Mastering Tone In whole my live it was one of the best jokes

Thanks for the series FrothyOmen, really helped me get used to the mechanics of Titanfall coming off of other shooters

Making a guide on how to use tone is equivalent to making a guide on how to push a button

tone guide: don't fire tracking rockets into ion's shield tone guide over

So what role is Tone supposed to play? I've genned her, and I still don't know. She's bulky with decent mobility and burst damage. Bulky sniper, is that even a role? If anything Tone seems like a support class to me, but she was given damage to carry games by herself.

Another fantastic guide man, keep it up!

i highly recommend over core for tone, i m a tone nerd which my tone is already G9 and the rest of my titans have no higher than lv6, the reason recommend over core is because tone's biggest advantage or highest dps weapon is his core, why not take maximum advantage to others? also use ur pulse more, is a really good ability for both offense and defense

So I know the Particle Wall is great, but why don't I see Tones using that AND physical cover right behind it to protect their poking? Last time I checked Particle Walls can be destroyed and actual Walls can't :] (Real life walls can though, obligatory trump comment armor~)

I saw that comment someone made. jesus christ people get butthurt. also, "don't run warpfall" quality reply

You know, I was expecting more of a rant-y video. I think this was actually pretty fair. Good vid frothy ;)

I thought I new Tone really well, yet your videos are always informative and interesting!

Step One: Hate literally everything Step Two: Eat babies Step Three: Decide to play Tone because you like to make people cry

I don't think you give burst loader enough credit. I've found a lot of players getting smarter about peeking/playing footsie against Tones (which can be a nightmare to deal with depending on map) and against pilots who keep peeking shots. Burst loader lets me get an advantage on their next "peek" (helped by seeing when they peek with Sonar shot). It changes both pilots and Titans from feeling they can outplay/outmaneuver Tone by weaving in/out of walls/cover - they think they can peek me for damage while only taking one 40mm, but instead they eat all 3 and now I have a full lock. This will help even more against Pilots when 40mm projectile size is nerfed.

Fantastic guide frothy, you knocked it out of the park with this one

Your videos are awesome! I play on PS4 and I have learned so much of meta and tactics about this game just from your videos. Especially these mastering themed videos have made me respect every titan and I have now played everyone of them at least on g2 level. Thx so much Frothy!

Tone is the only titan I can insta kill when they spawn and not feel bad about it

For some reason arc wave is able to destroy the particle wall in one hit

I have been watching your videos for the past hour or so, and I can't even pay attention because of your gameplay. Papa bless

I loved the guide! Tone and Ion are my favorite overall Titans, with Scorch being my personal individual pick for fun times. Dammit, and you posted this video just as I'm finishing my Witcher 3 "good" run (for the good ending) and almost finishing one of the expansions. I was not officially planning a return, but I guess this video is a sign I should return to Titanfall 2 these days, soon. Thanks much, Frothy! People like you keep my love for this great game (and FPS in general) alive! P.S. I really should look into your live stream schedules. I've watched one or two, but got there more coincidentally than on purpose.

Glad you aren't reinforcing the ridiculous tone circlejerk, regardless of how anyone feels about tone, the only thing more annoying is the people who complain nonstop about tone

Tone is my all time favorite titan

As an Ion main, Tone is one of my favorites to fight against for the fun factor. My favorite thing about Titanfall 2 multiplayer is the rivalries and interplay created between titans and Ion VS Tone is my absolute favorite.

Step 1: fire your gun Step 2: if the enemy retaliates, use shield (optional) Step 3: use rockets And that concludes tone

I hate how everybody says tone is so is op, I can easily take them out as Ronin, hell I managed to take on 3 tones as Ronin with no back up because they all fucking died, but yet I shredded the fuck out of them and the three had stotic black or stotic dark (I forgot what's it called) so they were good at tone (the cancer squad) all you have to is just separate them from there team (it's really easy to do as Ronin or Scorch)

When you have a g5 tone, but still watch these.

As an Ion pilot, oftentimes if I see a Tone lay down her particle wall, I just wait it out. Hide out around a corner. Half the time when I peek back out the Tone is half-way towards me running out in the open, with the particle wall still running behind it.

Frothy, An excellent Guide as always. There's no better analysis in Titanfall 2 than those that come from FrothyOmen. I'd like to see your new analysis on the updated Titan status post patch. I'm curious to see If the Northstar core has indeed risen to greatness.

I'd love to get a Sidewinder pro, please do a guide on it

Good one frothy... 😂

tbh i think tone would be balanced if they did one of 3 things - 1: reduce the 40mm clip from 12 to 10 or 9 to make spamming it more risky, 2: make partial locks have a short (say 5 sec) time limit after which a double lock goes down to a single, and a single is lost completely, or 3: make particle wall's cooldown 3-5 sec longer. any one of these would make it about right imo, but beyond that would be too much

after Tf2 came back ive been getting these videos recommended again

Anyone who plays tone needs to learn another titan that requires more skill
