How To Be A Defender in PvP 101

1. Your bubble is your best friend. It can be a place of safety and refuge, or it can be a shotgun slaughter house. Or it can be a big "USE YOUR SUPER HERE" sign to the opposing team. 2. Armor of Light is the best PvP bonus to have. It enables you to take two swipes from a Bladedancer(which is good because their hit detection is already broken hehe) 2-3 shotgun blasts, and one suncharge. However, suncharge will knock your ass right out of the bubble. 3. The best weapon to have while inside the bubble is a high impact shotgun. (Conspiracy Theory, Matador, Party Crasher) or any fast firing, automatic shotgun. The only two I recommend however are the Fourth Horseman and Invective. The reason shotguns are the best is because when people enter your bubble, you want to dispose of them as quickly as possible, you may be stronger, but you are not invincible. And plus, a blast from a high impact shotgun followed by a melee is enough to kill someone in their super. 4. There are things a bubble cannot withstand. A nova bomb, a Fist of Havoc, 2 Golden Gun shots, 3 hammers, Landfall, the constant zapping of a Stormcaller, and 3 Shadowshots followed by a smoke and a grenade.(We'll talk tethers again.) Even though these destroy the bubble, they do [i]not[/i] destroy you. You can survive FoH if you're close enough to the opposite side of where he's rushing in. A nova bomb destroys it(however, if they're using shatter, it kills you and the Bubble. I don't see why though.) Golden Gun.. Either use a Suppressor Grenade or hope he misses that third shot. Stormtrance? There isn't a counter besides Suppressor Grenade. But you have to use it before gets anywhere near the bubble. Otherwise, he wins. 5. Tethers. Easily the most useless super to use against a bubble. If the Nightstalker runs in and uses his tethers, it will literally [b][i][u]have no effect.[/u][/i][/b] They will not damage you, at all. The only thing it will do is slow you down, but you should still be able to shotgun his face off mid animation. However, if they're smart, they will run in the bubble and use a wombo combo and try to melee you. So always be on your toes, make sure they don't get time to do this, it has a good chance to actually kill you. 6. An Armor of Light Titan with Raze Lighter or Dark Drinker in his bubble is almost unstoppable. Do not engage unless you are a golden gunner or Striker Titan or voidwalker with a super. But even then, they'll probably still kill you. 7. If you run Defender, make sure your gunskill and Grenade skill are good. Defender has absolutely [b][i][u]no neutral game.[/u][/i][/b] All of its perks either effect the bubble or Force Barrier, but not the Titan himself. So get practicing on how to use these things to your best ability. 8. Know when to pop your bubble. It can be offensively, or defensively. Need to rez a teammate? Run over and pop your bubble. Enemy team going for heavy? Pop your bubble on it, they have to get through you, now. That's about it. Feel free to add tips of your own.
