How do I kill the Eradica titan? HELP!

Its a cheat. You are playing Vicious.

Yes i am playing vicious! No wonder everything that come out is level 7 or above. Thanks for clarification! Now the million dollar question, how to kill that titan?

Bombers mostly. Having a Kol or two for damage soaks and some Dunovs (shield repairs) and Hoshikos (hull repair) in support is nice as well. Marzas have more forward firepower then Kols so they help as well. And keep the frigate counts low (send them around attack the enemies rear areas) as they only feed the titans XP and make them stronger.

The Eradica has an ability that allows it to 'absorb' one of its frigates to heal itself.  This makes the Eradica very hard to kill when it is accompanied by its fleet.

Try this - set a trap for the AI Advent fleet with a starbase rigged to blow with Override Safety Protocol (2 levels).  When the fleet comes in range, set it off to kill all the enemy frigates.  Then hit the Eradica hard with bombers - you'll want around 100 squads.  It is also possible to do this with 100+ LRMs, but you have to make sure they are spread out all around the Eradica so that Chastic Burst can't quickly take them down.

BTW, Override Safety Protocol will take out your bombers and ships too so make sure they are out of range when you set it off.

From what I've seen for the higher level AI's, they always buy their capital ships level up to level 4.  I haven't seen them cheat beyond the extra resources and free techs they get.  My guess is that they took out a couple of pirate raids (and lots of militia) to get up to level 7 on you.

The ideal composition would be a Level 8+ Ragnarov Titan with maxed out Snipe and Overcharge, backed by hundreds of carriers with pure bombers.  You need those hundreds of bomber-carriers to win - if you don't have them, build starbases with maxed hull and Safety Override (to kill the support fleet once they're nearing death) to slow it down until you get them.  Once you fight it, remember that it gets increasing cooldown reduction as its hull enters the red, then it gets 4 minutes of invulnerability before it dies, so you'll want to retreat all non-carrier units a bit before it falls below 25% hull.

In the meantime, figure out where his Titan foundry is, and make sure to kill it before it can rebuild another.  If you can micro Timed Explosives on a large pack of your scouts, that might be the best solution.

Please explain the last 4 minutes thing to me? I just reloaded and tried having a go, I managed to somehow damage it to 1500 hp and no shield it will not die after that. It keeps going up to 3k hp and would not explode.

A problem is when I see the AI's titan coming, I have around 6-7 cap ship and 1 titan + small support fleet(few cielo and 20+ repair bots). My titan is level 3 and his level 2. But the fight always ends with him being 6-7 level and me still on level 4 only. Should I switch the 6-7 cap ship to light carriers?I usually go for, 4 marza, 1 sova, 1 dunov, 1 akan.

I will try that, I love to fill my ships with bombers, however the advent can fill even more fighters/bombers than me. Which I find is a big problem as it forces me to get anti strike craft ships.

That's the beauty of Override Safety Protocol (aka the Big Red Button) - it kills strikecraft too.  If you can time this right, there won't be any frigates or strikecraft left in the enemy fleet.

Kill all progens first then go for other caps finaly ff eradica. Don't stay still let him chase you around your defences. If eradica is low level few dunovs with anti am ability will be enough are great against advent vicious ai. 

Don't destroy your sb + defences. Instead of red button get yourself docking boons for faster am regeneration and repair.  Vicious ais has a lot of cheats one of those is faster build times. So whatever you kill he will rebuild very fast unless you can take out his factory planets.

Advent heavily depends on am reserves and denying that is your priority. Use mostly capital ships and carrier fleet with cielo that have 2nd ability unlocked.

Higher level AIs can buy beyond level 4 (unfair up to lvl 5, cruel up to lvl 6, vicious up to lvl 7)....

I really have nothing good to add. I just think its a waste of time to even speak these dayz since im going through this phase of depression. [sigh] listen to everyone here about the eradica because they can offer more than i can but for now just lower the difficulty down a notch or two. 

Interesting - I hadn't seen them do it before (but then I'm mostly playing Unfair/Cruel).  This good to know.

Thanks for the advice guys, I was able to kill that monster titan 4 times to win the game. However, solely because I tried my hardest to keep my titan level above that advent titan. Although, I am sure the AI cheated again because he was level 9 by the end of the game.

Following suggestion made by everyone here, I was able to contain the titan and the supporting fleet till the AI titan reach level 6. After that it becomes a damn hard job. The advent titan have ability to deal mass damage to my capital ship. I have 8 supporting my titan, after some funny sound from the advent titan, all my capital ships were left with half hp. Not to mention that it also takes out 20-30 of my repair bots and garde frigate and light carriers as well! So the area damage dealt by it is extremely high. And after level 6 and above, the last 3k hp is nightmare and it will turn blue after killing it, where I must hide for a few minutes before coming back.

I just need to  try figure out how to counter that titan if my titans level is lower and how to keep my losses down when I fight against the titan.

Thanks again everyone, many nice advice here.

Titans come back at the level they died at. The AI isn't cheating for that. They only get extra levels on capitalships.

The Eradica can destroy fleets of frigates easily with Chastic burst. Your only good option for dealing with it is to have several mid-high level dunovs using EMP on it to ensure it runs out of antimatter eventually. As long as it can use its abilities you will take heavy loses.

Once it dies and "turns blue", run the heck away, its going to die, so go back and heal. At higher levels it takes longer to rebuild at least, so try and go on the offensive as soon as you've killed it.

Dunovs with am drain if tec. Turrets with passive regeneration if vasari and radiance with am bomb if advent. Higher the level of titan more of those type capital ships you need. Unless you are vasari

Kortuls with disruptive strikes should be your main counter, since relying on turrets can only be used on the defensive. Even though turrets can be better than Kortuls, Kortuls are certainly better than Radiances and perhaps even the Dunov.

He is playing ai.....

Im having the same issues as you do which I wrote about here:

Stop linking to your post in every goddamn thread please, thank you.

Egg nano + Kortul with disruptive Strikes

100 corvettes ......

If its level 6. Now than unyielding will can trigger while it gets damaged you certainly do need a lot more antimatter drainage power. The ability cooldown increase will still help a lot though. Still, I have to agree with Greg that the corvette approach is best for the Eradica. Antimatter drainage is probably superior on the Ragnarov, and one the Vasari since I guess they missed the memo that Corvettes counter titans.

You still are going to need a titan AoE (or lvl 6 marza) to clear the enemy flak...if you are TL or AL, good luck doing that quickly...

Theres no end to Goa's stories because even when you kill the eradica at its low levels he then still has to somehow bring up unyielding will which is way up the experience tree.

If your facing a level 6 eradica then rage quit
