How to Counter the Sunbreaker Titan
I have seen many complaints about the Sun breaker titan being "OP" in crucible so I decided to come up with a list of different ways to counter it.
1. Sniper headshot. (High impact only. LDR, Icebreaker, 1000 Yard Stare)
2. Fist of havoc
3. Golden gun
4. Nova Bomb
5. Shadow shot
6. Shotgun melee combo
7. Shotgun with weapons of light and illuminated
8. Two sniper body shots with weapons of light and illuminated
9. Fusion rifle shot with weapons of light and illuminated
10. Peregrine Greaves Shoulder Charge
11. Focus fire/ have multiple people shoot at it
12. Two arc blade swings, 2 showstopper spins, 2-3 razors edge swipes
13. Suppressor grenade
14. 3 shots from Pocket Infinity
15. Dodging hammers/ running away
These are just some of the ways that I have found to deal with Sun breaker titan. There are definitely going to be a lot more ways that people find to counter it as well. It only seems OP because it is new and people don't know how to counter it, but I hope that this guide helps. Please tell of other ways that you have found to counter sun breakers and I will try to update this list.

Fist of havoc[/quote] Situational, must have your super up first. [quote]3. Golden gun[/quote] Doesn't even kill the bitch half the time. [quote]4. Nova Bomb[/quote] Situational, must have got super up first. [quote]5. Shadow shot[/quote] Situational, super must be up first. [quote]6. Shotgun melee combo[/quote] Good luck getting that close and doing both a shotgun and a melee before the Titan hits you with his hammer. [quote]7. Shotgun with weapons of light and illuminated 8. Two sniper body shots with weapons of light and illuminated 9. Fusion rifle shot with weapons of light and illuminated[/quote] Horribly situational because not only do you have to have a Titan use defender in PvP (why would he do that when he as an OP super with a subclass already?) then he has to use weapons of light (again, why?) and then he has to have illuminated, and then there has to be someone to use a fusion rifle (why?), and the Sunbreaker has to be stupid enough to get within a close area of the bubble and then all the fusion/sniper/shotgunner has to register all shots. Good luck with all that falling in place. [quote]10. Peregrine Greaves Shoulder Charge[/quote] Good luck getting close enough [quote]11. Focus fire/ have multiple people shoot at it[/quote] Good luck doing this in regular crucible where people don't use their mics and pull this off without the Sunbreaker killing all of you. [quote]12. Two arc blade swings, 2 showstopper spins, 2-3 razors edge swipes[/quote] Two arc blade swings, 2 sho...... [i]Guardian down[/i] [quote]13. Suppressor grenade[/quote] Again, first you have to find a Titan who is willing to give up an OP super for PvP for a crappy one, then he has to throw the grenade perfect then hope the thing actually works because it's been proven it doesn't work half the time. [quote]14. 3 shots from Pocket Infinity[/quote] Provided the Titan doesn't kill you while you are charging and/or shooting. Believe me, I'm fully aware of the OPenis that is Pocket Infinity. I love the gun. But I wouldn't go up against a bloody Hammer of Sol with it. [quote]15. Dodging hammers/ running away[/quote] Yeah because the hammers move slow enough to dodge them. And if running away is your best option, then we admit we have a problem. [quote]These are just some of the ways that I have found to deal with Sun breaker titan. [/quote] Bullshit. You probably died, ran away, supered him or got a lucky Sniper shot off. The "counters" you listed are either situational or flat out ridiculous, most cannot be performed by the average player.

2 RepliesPeople said the exact same thing about arc blade last year, so I'm sure it'll die down.

...or Invective the bitch when you get close enough.

1 Reply90% of those counters wont work if the titan is actually skilled

Instead of nerfing it, take away the shield, add a substantial agility buff, and put in the shield as an option instead of fleetfire
-
You also forgot jumping

Just f* shoot it. It's not hard and has never failed

14. One burst from my Pocket Infinity

5 RepliesHalf of your "counters" dont counter lol NERF SUNBREAKERS BUNGIE!

5 RepliesEdited by Captain K1utchx: 9/28/2015 4:48:20 AMTheir super is OP but outside of that they don't have a lot going for them lol. Those high impact snipers don't kill a sunbreaker who has a chest piece to increase armor for solar subclasses. I think only the black spindle can at that point. And I think a best golden gun will trade with them if they can get 2 shots off. Maybe blade dancer can take a sunbreaker by surprise but straight up will lose 9 times outta 10

Shoot 'em in the head, rinse and repeat.

The special weapons don't do shit on them I would love to use peregrine greaves but sadly thats year 1 I'll die probably trying this
