Expanded gameplay

The TITANS are here
The main attraction of PA:T are the titular TITAN units. These hulking machines are way more powerful than the ordinary units at the player's disposal.
There are five TITAN units available in the game:
- Atlas is the most powerful of the ground units, possessing enormous amounts of health and damage points;
- Ares unit is slow, but makes up for it with HP and range of fire;
- Helios is the only orbital, excellent at decimating enemies with its range and rate of fire;
- Zeus, an aerial unit, deals a lot of damage at a fast rate, despite having the least HP;
- and the Ragnarok, the stationary TITAN unit, capable of drilling into the planet and damaging its core, bringing certain doom to everything on the surface.
