Destroyer

Destroyer

Overview

The Destroyer is a heavy capital ship with 2,000 base attack — double that of the Battleship. It is one of the strongest individual combat ships and fills the role of fleet muscle. Often used as the backbone of late-game battle fleets.

Tips

Hard Counter to Battlecruisers?

No — BCs have RF×5 against Destroyers. Destroyers are better used to absorb fire alongside ships the BCs can't rapid-fire against.

Late-Game Fleet Core

When combined with Reapers and Battlecruisers, Destroyers form a durable, high-damage fleet core for experienced players.

High Deuterium Cost

At 1,000 deut/hour fuel burn per ship, large Destroyer fleets are expensive to operate. Make sure your Deuterium Synthesizer income can sustain your fleet movements.

Good Cargo

2,000 cargo per Destroyer makes them practical raiding ships despite their combat focus.
