Like every RPG,Destinyhas a tank class. They’re called Titans; they serve as both the primary assaulters and defenders of the game’s classes. Although their skillset may serve polar opposite play styles, their brute force serves them well on the battlefield while simultaneously helping to defend their allies.

However, despite how well constructed the class andDestinyas a whole might be, there are still a few inconsistencies that do not make sense upon closer analysis, from the way their class is constructed to even the lore surrounding these mighty Titans. Here are some inconsistencies surrounding Titans that might require another inspection.
10Why Can’t Titans Use Blink?
Perhaps there is an explanation somewherewithin Destiny’s extensive loreas to why Titans can’t blink, but it seems strange that Titans would lack this ability. Sure they can execute a nifty shoulder charge that can destroy many enemies with ease, but this only leads to the theory that they could potentially learn the ability in the first place. Titans already have some of the best jumping mechanics in the game, with their jump even reaching some of the farthest distances. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to learn that Titans would be able to learn this new way to move around the battlefield.
9Why Is The Code Of The Devastator Just A Bigger Hammer?
With Titans being the first of the guardian class to come about after the collapse, you would think that they would have more time to iron out their skillset. With legendary Titans suchas Lord Saladinwielding flaming axes, it was disappointing to find that the Code of the Devastator skill tree introduced in Forsaken only offered a bigger hammer or maul instead of an alternative design. Although, it is suggested in the lore of the game that Lord Saladin’s ability to wield a flaming ax is unique to his Titan training. Despite this, it would have still have made sense if guardians could have learned this new ax form instead of the flaming two-handed hammer we were given.
8Code Of The Missile Skill Tree Is Just Fist Of Havoc 2.0
WithDestiny 2being a sequel,you would think the game would build upon itself in meaningful ways instead of starting from scratch, but as we know, Bungie chose the latter. Thankfully, when it came to the Arc Subclass for the Titans, it got a noticeable upgrade from being a one-time use to being a roaming force to be reckoned with.

Surprisingly though, when Bungie introduced a third skill tree to each subclass in the Forsaken expansion, players were greeted to a skill tree that turned Fist of Havoc into itsDestiny 1counterpart, with an added flair. Although it turned your Titan into a guided missile of pure arc energy, it seemed rather unfortunate that the original version of Fist of Havoc had to go away instead of being reintroduced with added effects.
7Why Are Titans The Only Class Without A Dodge?
Unless theDestiny 1exotic Twilight Garrison returns, Titans are the only subclass without some sort of dodge in-game. While Hunters have a literal dodge mapped to their class-ability,Warlocks also havetheir blink ability instead of their traditional jumping mechanic they were they teleport a short distance away. Even in the hands of a new player, this can be utilized as a pretty handy dodge mechanic. Considering that Titans are built for fighting, players would think that this type of class would have more mobility.
6Why Are Titan Marks Limited To The Waist?
Withhow important cosmetics and gear are to theDestiny franchise, it’s surprising that Titan marks have been exclusive to the waist. With how bold and bombastic some of the Titan’s exotic gear can be, it’s surprising that no legendary marks have deviated from the traditional format. It wouldn’t clash too much with the Titan’s design aesthetic if potentially a sash was introduced.
5How Did Titans Win The First Guardian Games?
Despite Hunters being the class with the highest player count, Titans were the class that proved victorious during the first-ever Guardian Games. Unlike others on this list, if you look a little bit closer to player statistics and data, this event makes a lot more sense on close analysis.

For starters, although Hunters are the more popular class, Titans have higher counts in PvE which is where most medals to earn points were earned. Once they gained traction the first couple of days, it was only a matter of time before their landslide of a victory.
4Why Don’t Titans Have An Ahamkara Armor Piece?
Destinyis a game known for its gear and loot, otherwise, it wouldn’t be known as a looter-shooter. With some of thecoolest pieces of gear having aesthetics that match either enemy racesor other themes in-game, one of the most notable themes by far is the Ahamkara armor pieces featured for the Warlock and Hunter classes. Although the lore suggests that Titan’s were disinterested in hunting the Ahamkara altogether, that is hard to believe given the power and status that came with slaying one of the wish-granting dragons.
3Why Are There So Many Titans In The Tower?
Upon arriving at the Tower,Destiny 2’s social space, players would see a disproportionate amount of leadership swaying in Favor of the Titans. Now if you’re the class, this wouldn’t be a bad thing, but to the other two classes, you might have a few questions. In the Tower, Titans run Trails, Strikes, Crucible, and Iron Banner, but the average player may not know why they do this. That’s because, in Destiny’s lore, Titans were some first order of light-bearers that became what we know as Guardians.
2Why Didn’t Defender Titans Have A Shield To Begin With?
Now it would be understandable if the Titan’s Sentinel class was a top to bottom redesign of its void subclass. However, unlike the Warlocks Dawnblade class that has no prior connections to it’sDestiny1’s solar subclass Radiance, the Titan’s void subclass still contains the exact same ability that was featured inDestiny 1, the Titan’s Ward of Dawn. This begs the question of why a game so deep with lore would overlook the fact that Void Titans didn’t have this ability, to begin with, but instead randomly learned the new ability between the events ofDestiny 1and2.
1Why Doesn’t Towering Barricade Let You Shoot From The Side?
The Titan’s Class-Specific ability may be extremely useful in a firefight, but it has one glaring design flaw that can’t be overlooked. That is the fact that despite one version of the subclass letting you shoot behind a knee-high barricade, you have to crouch to utilize it. The second ability doesn’t let you shoot around the barricade at all but rather acts as an impenetrable wall. Now, this may have been done for balancing issues, but it doesn’t make sense why Titans, who are built for battle, can’t learn to lean to the side of the force field in order to utilize cover while being able to engage their target.
