    sure latency sucks but it's not impossible... you will get better, just keep trying.

    Those pools are a pain the butt.

    One tip also: don't wait to see other people move. By then they are already actually somewhere else. Move right away no matter what. Even if it interrupts that perfect move or spell.

    You're only options are:

    A. move to North America or Japan.
    B. Start a petition to get SA servers set up.

    I suggest B as it's no cost to you.

    I haven't had the need in this game given that the game is really responsive, but maybe try a premium vpn? like battleping or wtfast, I'm not sure however if that violates ToS in here, might wanna check that out first.

    That sucks man! Hope you could get way better ping than that. Usually ping less than 150 ms are way better to deal with Titan. But recently I learn that it is possible to anticipate even in Titan X, similar like how we deal Titan Hard. It has smaller gap than Hard version, but it's doable.

    The main problem you might have to deal though are actually not landslide not plumes/wotl, but bombs. For some reason, bombs have a bit weird timing, and this is kinda difficult right after heart phase where 3 consecutive Titan moves are executed: twin egi summoned - overlapped bomb cross mode - 5 way landslides. Egi's not that hard to deal as long as lb executed immediately on them (caster LB are the best for these) and dodging landslide are not hard either. But doing those while predicting order of the bomb exploding are kind of difficult, since you might get hit by 1st cross bomb or 2nd one, or worst... both.

    But overall, it wasn't impossible. Just harder. lol

    whats killing you? if its weight of the land, you should be able to live through 1 weight. there is no need to stack with the rest of the group if you are having latency issues. line up a little bit behind them and try and dodge, if you dont you will still live. if its landslide, then you just need to be prepared for those.

    I used my phone for internet, 500+ms . I'm from New Zealand (line gives me about 300ms)
    for plumes you MUST memorise the pattern and move 1-3 seconds before they come up (but do so responsibly, don't run into a place that people use to dodge in case you moved too early and put a plume there).
    for landslide, either do the same as above or play BLM and use Manawall.
    for XX bombs, it is difficult to do it the "proper" way but not impossible. Consider eating a bomb by running onto the diagonal bomb and not moving.
    for row bombs, go to the 3rd row and run sideways (instead of standing still) then up to the 1st row when landslide appears.

    Assuming your ping is that bad (500+), because doing these might get you killed if your ping is good lol.
