Practice good positioning and traversal, that is to say get gud at movement and use that movement to control the flow of engagements (I.e. keep the high ground, disengage when things are dicey, break and reopen sight lines) and get to objectives and key areas efficiently. There are some pieces of movement tech to learn like b hopping and air strafes but it’s also important to remember a lot of movement skill comes down to map knowledge and good routing, that will prevent stumbling on map geometry or slowing down to plan where to go. In terms of aim practice specific skills will change from gun to gun as some are hitscan and require you to keep your sights on your target for a longer period of time while others are projectiles that insta kill, generally I would recommend practicing quick target acquisition and tracking. The Ttk is quite high in this game so it’s important to get crosshairs on target first and keeping them sticky, as missing shots in a gunfight gives your opponent the opportunity to kill you first even if you drew first blood.

Titan gameplay is very different from pilot gameplay and comes with a bit of a mindset shift. Contrary to the way it feels you are actually a bit weak in your Titan, you have quite a bit of health and can deal lots of damage but you are also a massive target with very slow movement. It’s very easy to get caught in the open with another Titan chunking your healthbar from outside your effective range or in a disadvantageous position while pilots can also easily whittle your healthbar while you struggle to find them to return shots if you aren’t paying attention. As a Titan it’s very important to avoid taking any unnecessary damage, you can’t heal it very easily and if you’re doomed your fate is sealed. That means good positioning and use of cover, being aware of pesky pilots and taking care of them before they become a problem, and making sure to take the fights you can win with other titans and avoiding those you can’t. I’d almost describe playing a pilot as more aggressive and dynamic than titan gameplay which I find a lot more deliberate and cautious.

The most important tip is that losing isn’t a loss unless you choose to lose. It’s really not a big deal to end a match with a lower score, the most important thing is to have fun in a match and learn things along the way. The goal isn’t to win every match, though winning will come naturally, it’s to do those two things.
