(incomplete)
Tips
- No Energy Neutralizer Towers means this mission is Active Tank friendly
- Timed Spawns more often than not seem to aggro secondary teammates and drones
- Consider FoF missiles and setting drones to “Aggressive” for when you are unable to target because of Jammers
- Each pocket’s final spawn of Jammers + Scramblers can trap one in prolonged HEAVY damage
- Pocket 1’s max damage dealing of all ships: 2,418 hp/s (Kin: 72%, Therm: 28%)
- Pocket 2’s max damage dealing of all ships: 2,484 hp/s (Kin: 78%, Therm: 22%)
