Reach the new status of a titan (6)
I believe the answer is:
attain
'reach the new status' is the definition.
'attain' can be an answer for 'reach' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'the new status' bit.
'of a titan' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'a'+'titan'='atitan'
'atitan' is an anagram of 'ATTAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attain that I've seen before include "Reach or gain" , "Reach (age, size etc.)" , "Arrive at, accomplish" , "Reach objective or ambition" , "Reach (a specified age)" .)
