Avenger/FAQ

Vengeance Command Field

 * Q: Does the fleet have to be in the command field for the fleet to receive the vengeance?


 * A: The "command field" is essentially the combat area, similar to Highlanders and Grimshines. So you don't need to be near it to gain the bonuses.
 * Q: Does it also increase reload of the ships?
 * A: No. It applies defense, damage, and speed buffs, not reload ones.
 * Q:What is the Max % of resistance, speed and damage does the fleet receive?
 * A: 20% at max.
 * Q: Does the % of bonuses go up in equal percentage to the damage taken?
 * A: Yes; 0% Resistance at 100% HP ---> 20% Resistance at 0% HP. So essentially 19.99% at 1 HP.
 * Q: Does each ship get a collective boost?
 * A: All Ships in the fleet receive the Vengeance effect as your total Fleet Health goes down. The bonus is not applied to each ship individually.
 * Q: What resistances does it give?
 * A: All (Ballistic, Penetrative, Concussive, Explosive, Radioactive), up to 20%.
 * Q: Does avenger ability trigger resonance battery ability?
 * A: No, as it has no real "field" it emits.
 * Q: Does the buff on the fleet continue if the Avenger dies?
 * A: Negative.
 * Q: Does the buff carry over to the next battle?
 * A: Yes. Essentially, the buffs lasts until the ship dies and as long as the Avenger lives.

Speed Matching

 * Q: How fast does it go?
 * A: The Avengers base combat speed is 16, plus any engine upgrades. It’s ability to match the slowest ship in a fleet does not mean it can speed up beyond its own combat speed. If you have slower ships the Avenger will slow down to keep pace with them. If all your ships are faster than the Avenger, the Avenger will fall behind.
 * Q: Are Nighthawks included in this?
 * A: But of course.
 * Q: Does that mean it doesn't need an engine special?
 * A: If you need the Avenger to go faster than its base speed it will need an engine upgrade.
 * Q: Does it slow all the ships in a fleet?
 * A: No, it only matches the slowest one, no matter what speed it is.
 * Q: Does it match turn speed as well?
 * A: Nope.
 * Q: Do specials that slow down ships, like Heavy Plating, affect the Avenger?
 * A: They do, as it does not speed up to match the slowest ship's speed; it only slows down to do so.
