Destra Crusader
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Destra Crusaders bring enlightenment to the masses, if not typically in a friendly manner. The Destra‘s design is dominated by four huge plasma cannons which make it more than a match for most enemy frigates and cruisers. The appearance of the Crusaders in the first few battles of the war marked the beginning of the end for the TEC forces. The resulting tales of the survivors created a widespread superstition in the TEC military that the appearance of a Destra on the battlefield signifies bad luck for the TEC.
[edit] Tactics
- The manual says it all. These ship dish out a lot of damage. Build a bunch of them (throw in some Capitals and some Iconus Guardians) and overwhelm your enemies. 'Nuf said.
- Ruthlessness does not deal damage very fast but in a long battle it will start to add up and each ship you attack will have less H/SP after the DOT from Ruthlessness
- Possible Bug: The 'Crusaders Ruthlessness ability does not stack stack with itself. I am not yet familiar enough with the mechanics of this game to know if this is a bug or not.
- As it stands now, the Crusader's Ruthlessness is just about exactly enough to prevent enemy frigates and cruisers from regenerating shields or hit points without outside intervention--a powerful ability indeed when paired with the Advent's multitude of area of effect abilities.
- More importantly, since this ability also affects enemy fighters, this gives your own fighters a crucial and much-needed edge in the fighter war.
