Ship Battle Guide

Overview

This guide helps players understand how to build fleets, choose weapons, and win in Ship Battles in Outlaw Troopers.

Players command a fleet of Ships in 1v1 auto-chess style combat. The goal is to build the right fleet, position them wisely, and use their abilities effectively to outsmart your enemies.

Choosing Weapons

There are three types of weapons:

- Projectile: Hits shields first, then armor.

- Missile: Skips shields, hitting armor directly. Useful for fast armor damage.

- Corrosive: Deals less damage to shields but more to armor. Best used after shields are down.

Building Your Fleet

- Each battle requires 6 Ships to start. Most Ships take up 1 slot, but Ships from the Titan Galaxy take up 2 slots.

- Ships can be stacked to level up in Seasonal Ship Battles.

- Mix different weapon types and rarities to find your best combination.

- Epic, legendary and limited Ships have unique abilities that add a new layer of strategy. Some might have slightly less armor or shield but compensate with powerful, one-of-a-kind abilities.

Basic Strategies

- All-Missile Strategy: If you want straightforward armor-piercing power, go for a fleet full of missile Ships to punch straight through defenses.

- Mixed fleet with Projectile and Corrosive: This setup works well for balanced damage. Try 4 Projectile and 2 Corrosive, or split 3 and 3. For best results, place Projectile Ships first (to break shields) and Corrosive Ships after (to maximize damage to armor).

- Positioning: Ships attack from left to right. Place your strongest attackers on the left so they attack first.

Tips for Other Modes

Defeat the Horde Mode

- Use healing Ships like Bulwark or Shield Battery to survive longer. They provide healing to armor and shields at the start of each wave, helping you last longer.

- Instant-kill abilities like Nullify or Hyperlance Ship to take out an enemy ship right away. Nullify can instantly destroy the leftmost enemy Ship before battle. Its cost is incremental therefore it's better to save it for boss waves that look tough to beat.

Expedition Mode

- Sneak mode: Avoid enemies and survive longer.

- Aggressive Mode: Increases the chance of encountering enemies and bandits to collect Ship Components

Summary

Build balanced fleets, understand weapon types, and use smart positioning. Experiment with different Ships to find your winning strategy.
