Arena of Blood is a perfect setup for Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter, allowing Elder Titan to land both spells on multiple enemies trapped inside. The combo can devastate clustered targets, especially with Astral Spirit and Natural Order amplifying the damage. Together, Elder Titan and Mars create a powerful teamfight combo that punishes grouped-up enemies
Elder Titan and Vengeful Spirit form a strong lane duo with high control and burst potential. Natural Order and Wave of Terror both reduce enemy defenses, greatly amplifying their damage output. With reliable disables and armor reduction, they can dominate many lane matchups and secure early kills
Ion Shell and Surge perfectly complement Elder Titan’s early aggression, enabling him to chase down targets and maximize the damage bonus from Astral Spirit during the laning phase. Vacuum sets up a reliable Echo Stomp, and when followed by Earth Splitter, this combo can almost guarantee kills on anyone caught in it.
Astral Spirit and Echo Stomp provide a strong setup for Dawnbreaker to chase and land her combo early in the game. This duo is very tanky and can play aggressively thanks to their combined burst of magical and physical damage
Astral Spirit and Echo Stomp serve as excellent follow-ups for Axe after he blinks in and uses Berserker's Call. During the laning stage, Battle Hunger helps Elder Titan chase down slowed targets and amplify damage with Astral Spirit, making the duo a strong threat early on
Astral Spirit and Echo Stomp provide a strong setup for Duel during the laning stage. Later in the game, Earth Splitter serves as a powerful follow-up, helping secure kills and ensuring the success of the Duel
Faceless Void’s Chronosphere sets up perfect Earth Splitter timings. Elder Titan stays on the outside and channels Echo Stomp safely. Natural Order makes Void’s physical burst more effective inside Chrono. Their synergy results in deadly teamfight control and burst.
Invoker provides crowd control with Tornado and disables that let Titan land Echo Stomp. Cold Snap and Meteor combo well with Astral Spirit damage. Elder Titan gives vision and setup that Invoker needs to hit spells. Together they bring strong teamfight and global presence.
Magnus’s Reverse Polarity clumps enemies for Earth Splitter to land at full strength. Empower increases Elder Titan’s right-click potential with Astral Spirit. Both heroes control space and punish grouped enemies. They force fights where Titan’s aura has full impact.
Phoenix’s Supernova baits enemies into clumping, where Elder Titan can land Earth Splitter. Echo Stomp zones enemies from the egg and stops channeled disables. Astral Spirit adds bonus damage for Phoenix’s damage over time spells. They thrive in chaotic teamfights with sustained AoE control.
...core items [7.39c]
A core
Boots of Speed upgrade for HP sustain and movement speed which also boosts your Astral Spirit mobility. You can consider
Phase Boots instead if you have a good start.

Boots of Bearing later in the game.
An early to mid game item to buff one of your cores against physical damage while boosting their attack speed and mobility. Can also be cast on yourself to gain a physical damage barrier.
A defensive item that lets you or a teammate become invisible and get out of trouble. Also helps defend against magical damage with the barrier.
An upgrade for
Tranquil Boots to momentarily become unslowable in teamfights with the boots active while chasing or kiting enemy heroes. Using the active before casting Astral Spirit gives it a massive movement speed increase.

Meepo and his clones tend to clump together, allowing Astral Spirit to hit multiple targets and grant Elder Titan massive bonus damage. Combined with Echo Stomp for reliable AoE control and Earth Splitter for high burst damage based on max HP, Elder Titan becomes a serious threat in teamfights and a powerful deterrent to Meepo’s aggression
Elder Titan trades well with Slark in lane thanks to Astral Spirit’s bonus damage. Later, Echo Stomp can control Slark even during Shadow Dance, making Elder Titan a consistent threat throughout the game.
Astral Spirit lets Elder Titan pressure Tidehunter in lane despite Kraken Shell, as the bonus damage can overwhelm him. Later, Earth Splitter deals massive damage due to Tide’s high max HP, making Elder Titan a strong threat even in teamfights.
Tinker is a slippery hero who hides in trees during fights to spam spells. Astral Spirit can reveal and hit him even in fog, setting up Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter for an easy kill.
Natural Order and Astral Spirit work well together to pressure Terrorblade, cutting through his high armor and neutralizing his defenses. In teamfights, Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter can control both him and his illusions, making Elder Titan a strong counter throughout the game
Beastmaster relies heavily on his summoned units to pressure lanes and deal damage. Astral Spirit allows Elder Titan to hit all of Beastmaster’s units, granting him high bonus damage and enabling strong trades in lane. In teamfights, Echo Stomp can control both Beastmaster and his summons, disrupting his initiation and giving your team an opening to burst him down before he can fully commit
Elder Titan’s Natural Order weakens Mars’s tankiness by removing his base armor during Arena of Blood. Echo Stomp delays Mars’s follow-up combo and buys time for disengagement. Earth Splitter punishes enemies grouped inside the Arena. Mars finds it hard to finish kills through Titan’s crowd control and damage.
Elder Titan’s Earth Splitter deals percentage-based damage that Abaddon struggles to prevent. Echo Stomp can disable him post-Borrowed Time if timed well. Natural Order reduces Abaddon’s ability to front line. Titan’s utility matches Abaddon’s sustain and outpaces him in teamfights.
Natural Order removes both the Druid’s and Spirit Bear’s base armor, making them vulnerable. Echo Stomp disables the bear’s aggression and splits fights. Earth Splitter punishes the low mobility of both hero and bear. Titan neutralizes the push and survivability Lone Druid offers.
Elder Titan reduces Underlord’s innate tankiness with Natural Order. Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter disrupt his teamfight control from Pit of Malice and Firestorm. Titan’s Spirit scouting helps prevent surprise Dark Rift saves. Underlord can’t withstand long fights against Titan’s aura.

Puck is very elusive and difficult to control with Echo Stomp. Landing Earth Splitter is nearly impossible unless Puck is already disabled before the cast
Vengeful Spirit can save allies caught in Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter with Nether Swap. Magic Missile provides strong early control on Elder Titan, preventing him from chasing with Astral Spirit’s buff. Additionally, she can cancel the channel of Echo Stomp, making her a solid counter to Elder Titan.
Ursa can trade effectively with Elder Titan early in lane due to Fury Swipes, and has the potential to chase and kill him. Enrage grants significant status resistance and damage reduction, enabling Ursa to either escape Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter combos or mitigate much of their damage
Shadow Demon can use Disruption to save allies caught by Elder Titan’s Echo Stomp. His Shadow Poison effectively harasses and kills Elder Titan in lane, as Elder Titan struggles to hit Shadow Demon—who can safely halt his aggression while stacking more poison thanks to Disruption
Shadow Shaman can harass Elder Titan in lane with his spells and keep him controlled for a long time using Shackles or Hex, preventing him from landing hits and dealing damage even with the Astral Spirit buff. These disables can also interrupt the channel of Echo Stomp.
Enchantress can harass Elder Titan in lane with Impetus. Additionally, Enchant provides her a dispel against Astral Spirit’s buff, completely negating Elder Titan’s bonus damage and further countering him
Lycan’s high mobility and summon pressure ignore Elder Titan’s AoE control. His units dodge Echo Stomp easily and force Titan into poor positioning. Natural Order has little effect on his summons. Titan gets overrun before he can charge up damage.
Naga Siren’s illusions are too numerous for Elder Titan to focus effectively. Song of the Siren resets after Earth Splitter setups, wasting his combo. Her illusions waste Astral Spirit hits, limiting his damage output. Titan’s abilities are inefficient against illusion-heavy heroes.
Dark Seer forces Elder Titan to fight in clustered zones where Vacuum into Wall destroys him. Illusions benefit from his own aura and Spirit damage. Titan’s stomp is often interrupted by Vacuum and Ion Shell poke. He can’t zone Dark Seer’s team effectively.
Troll Warlord wins prolonged fights, which Elder Titan prefers, but outperforms him in that context. Battle Trance prevents Troll from dying to Earth Splitter. Titan has no hard disables to stop Troll from sustaining. Troll out-scales Titan in most scenarios.
