A true Ninja is a master of himself and his environment...

gfycat.comWhat I like to do as Ronin is to have my back at an open space area where they can't wallrun, so I can easily slash them with Broadsword.
And as Ion, I tend to set the tripwire mines behind me so that they'll fall on it.
Scorch, I'll ignite a wall nearby and then scratch my back on it to get rid of the rodeing pilot.

I prefer putting my back right up against a wall, and looking up. It's easier to turn and kill them when they are right in front of you. Though, with Ronin, I'll always do the phase dash trick when rodeoed so I don't take any damage.

Do you know the Ronin battery trick? If you are in Phase Dash during the time when your battery is pulled, you don't take damage from the battery being pulled. Then you can just turn around and kill the pilot as they hop off to get a free battery for your full health Ronin.
I don't know why you'd get out of your Titan in this scenario, though, seems like an unnecessary risk. If he managed to kill you, he'd also be able to get an easy kill on your AI Titan. Much better to just turn around in the Titan and kill them after they hop off.

I did read that before, but forgot.

and don't forget, we're turtles!

Honestly, as long as they don't have low profile, (they usually don't) I've learned how to time it so I can spin around and melee them as soon as they pop off.
Works most of the time. I've gotten hate before for it. Fun stuff.

With ronin. Phase shift at the time that you know they'll take the battery. You won't get damaged, so free battery!

If you have good timing with Ronin, getting rodeoed is advantageous

Yeh.

Remember, this also works for Titan executions, so keep that in mind!

I've seen this in combat. I can see the hatch pop open. When that happens, I just grapple back on and pop a grenade down the battery hole. Rinse and repeat.

They can still shoot you.

You have to be pretty far away from your own titan to get a decent shot at the rodeoing pilot. And it's a smaller target.
2
Yeah, I wouldn't pop out unless I was reasonably sure it was going to be one on one.
1
I fully support this, but I gotta admit that sometimes I'm too lazy to get out and kill the pilot. I just wait for the pull and then try to turn and waste the pilot with my Titan.
2
It's partly TF1 habits kicking in and partly cause I want my battery back anyways, so may as well try to surprise him.
In TF1, if you weren't running smoke, then you had to (most of the time) get out and kill the pilot rodeoing.
1
Yeah I'm right there with you, and I should just jump out right away and shoot them off the top, but sometimes I just feel lazy.

For last time, Ronin is not a ninja. Ronin is a samurai.

Or if you have a teammate nearby, crouch and turn to allow them the most advantageous view to rip them a new one.
Doing this makes me happy on so many levels
I have scrubbed so many team mates backs with my sword I need a backscratcher skin for the sword.
Friendly team Ion here. Give me a good view and STOP MOVING and I promise I will turn that rodeoing pilot into red mist for you no matter how far away line of sight goes.

FTFY
I hate when I try to do this and the teammate starts spinning around like a dog chasing it's tail.
