I noticed the other day that a bunch of satyrs actually do pretty well against titans. I think the reason is that since the titans have such monstrosity of pierce armor is not the attack of the satyr that does well but the actual amount javelins that they are able to throw in such a short time since they all count as a pierce attack. I tested all the ranged Myth units against a Titan. I used 5 of the same Myth units on the titan and the Satyr was the 4 best ranged myth units in the game (It actually did better than the manticore!). These are the results
Note: I used no upgrades since you don't always get them during a game. I also used no micro and all five of the units stood around the Titan not next to each other.
Results:
1) Fire giants= took 2,081 hit points away from the titan!
2) Medusa= took 862 hit points
3) Petsuchos= took 780 hit points
4) Satyr= took 485 hit points
5) Lampades= took 479 hit points
6) Manticore= took 447 hit points
7) Troll= took 342 hit points
8) Wadjet= took 235 hit points
9) Mummy= took 199 hit points (very disappointing)
10) Centaur= took 132 hit points
One last thing to note about the Satyr is that it was the third ranged myth unit that survived the longest agianst the Titan right after the Petsuchos and the Fire giants, and since the Satyr's special tech allows them to throw more javelins they do more damege to the titans.
Also In the end game is more easy to have many units than the early game as you have more TCs and a better economy. 4 fire giants take 20pop space, 4 Petsuchos 16pop, 4 Medusas 20pop and 4 Satyrs just 12pop. If you equal the pop for all the units then Satyrs should be closer to the medusa in damage.-G3_
EDIT: Even though flying myth units are ranged I could not test them because I measured how good the myth unit was until they died fighting the Titan. Therefore since the Titan can not attack the myth units directly* I could not test them, but in theory you could kill a Titan with just one Phoenix.
*The titan does affect the flying myth units hit points though but only when they are over or very near the titan while the titan is attacking ground units/buildings.
