Tips For Playing

Tone is typically considered either the strongest titan or second strongest titan (nothing is more terrifying than an upgraded Monarch). It is especially attrocious due to the relatively low skill floor; you can be an utter menace simply by firing 3 rifle shots then your rockets, rinse and repeat. Even worse, your core is the most powerful; able to obliterate titans from across the map, even ones who are out of sight.

Your shoulder rockets are your main source of damage. After acquiring 3 partial-locks, aim the rockets upward before firing; they'll track toward the locked target, and it's much harder for enemies to dodge rockets coming from the sky. If not upward, fire them to the side of a target (so they'll arc around cover) or backwards (so they arc upward), but never fire them directly at the target, as they then become very easy to dodge or shield-block.

Similarly, always fire your core upward, not to toward your target. The core's rockets will follow your crosshair, so use that to arc them toward your target from above. You can also use this to make trick shots to hit enemy titans you can't directly see. If, after firing your core, the target you had planned to hit with it is eliminated, you can keep your rockets in the air for quite a few seconds by moving your crosshair so they never settle on a target, allowing you to find an alternate victim.

Reinforced Particle Shield is stupid effective, and easily the best class-specific Kit. The others are fun though and you should try them out.

Tips for Fighting

Tone rockets are terrifying and chew up your healthbar like almost nothing else. Do everything you can to avoid them. Don't worry yourself with avoiding or blocking rifle shots, just the rockets. Save your dash[es] for when the rockets are headed at you. Count the number of times they hit you with their rifle so you know when they have a lock. If the Tone player is new to Tone, they'll likely fall into a pattern, either firing their rockets as soon as they have 3 locks, or after a consistent delay, which makes dodging them much easier.

If the Tone begins using its core, and fires the rockets directly at you, it's an inexperienced Tone player and you can just dodge them. Assuming the Tone is competent, however, first try and obliterate the Tone before it finishes firing the rockets off. Even if you're not the target of the Tone's core, focus your fire on it, as stopping a Tone from using its core is a public good. If you're not successful in this endeavour, save your dash[es] and track the rockets, trying to dash out of the way right as they start to strike you. While this is more situational, you can also try to find a doomed titan to execute, to take advantage of the invincibility-frames that provides. If all else fails, hop out of your titan and at least keep the Tone from getting both a titan and pilot kill.

If you're an Ion, your primary goal when fighting Tone is tricking it into firing its tracker rockets into your shield, only for you to send them right back at it. If Scorch, use that shield to block the tracker rockets and nothing else. If Northstar, stay far away; Tone's rifle shots travel slowly and can be dodged without too much difficulty. If Ronin, never take a volley of tracker-rockets without being in sword-block mode.
