Typhon is a Lance Defender with Master McCloud's facial model and increased health. He dishes out quite a bit of damage at once, and the three or so Lance troopers that come up the elevator behind him doesn't help either. The best way to deal with Typhon is to throw a grenade with some sort of elemental grenade mod (Electric is recommended for shield damage, but anything elemental works well), and when his strong shields are gone, hit him with something corrosive. Deploying a Scorpio Turret as a [[Soldier]] is the best way of doing constant damage to him. Alternatively, you can just aim for the head.
