Overview
The Titan is a class that possesses tremendous vitality and might. He can deliver powerful slams that can be ancestrally boosted and leave extra aftershocks, and improve his Heavy Stuns by making them easier to apply and dealing more damage to stunned enemies. The Titan can also be built to be very resilient with access to more life and armour. He can also gain extra inventory space from Colossal Capacity, which unlocks the ability to improve the power of his small passive skills from Hulking Form.

Melee Combat
Melee generally refers to one of two things:
- A playstyle defined by a set of skills (usually attacks) performed while either unarmed (meaning to have no weapon equipped), or with a martial weapon, where your character either performs an attack at a target within your strike distance, or performs a slam on the ground to hit all enemies within the slam's area of effect.
- A gem tag denoting skills that use the aforementioned melee playstyle

Terminology
Strike
Strike refers to a subset of melee attacks. Strikes either target a single enemy or all enemies within a swing.
Slam
Slam refers to a subset of melee attacks. Slams affect enemies within a radius and hence always have the AoE tag and are often good for crowd control.
Combo
Combo is a counter that tracks the number of melee strikes landed by the character in the last 8 seconds. Some skills can only be activated by achieving a certain combo count. Final Strike is the final hit of a combo.
