1vs1 [[Ship]] Battles: Battles are automatic (auto-chess style), meaning your [[Ships]] will take turns attacking based on where they’re positioned in your lineup. Strategy is in your setup, not in manually controlling the [[Ships]].

- All-Missile Strategy: If you want straightforward armor-piercing power, go for a fleet full of missile [[Ships]] to punch straight through defenses.
<b><u>All-Missile Strategy</u></b>
 
If you want straightforward armor-piercing power, go for a fleet full of Missile [[Ships]] to punch straight through defenses.
 
<b><u>Mixed Strategy with Projectile and Corrosive</u></b>
 
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).
 
<b><u>Positioning Matters</u></b>
 
[[Ships]] attack in order from left to right. Place your strongest damage-dealers on the left so they attack first. For mixed fleets, put Projectile [[Ships]] ahead of Corrosive ones. This way, you can break enemy shields before hitting armor harder with Corrosive [[Ship]].
 
=Advanced Tips: Modes and Strategies=
 
==Defeat the Horde Mode==
 
<b><u>Healing Ships</u></b>
 
[[Ships]] like Shield Battery and Bulwark are essential in Horde mode. They provide healing to armor and shields at the start of each round, helping you last longer.
 
<b><u>Instant Kill Abilities</u></b>
 
Some abilities let you 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.
 
The Hyperlance [[Ship]] has a powerful ability to take down a ship instantly. It’s especially useful in weekly tournaments when Nullify isn’t available.
 
==Expedition Mode==


<b>Sneak Mode:</b> If your goal is to survive longer and avoid enemies, choose Sneak mode, which lowers the chance of engaging enemies or bandits. Ideal for players aiming to be the last one standing.
- 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).


<b>Aggressive Mode:</b> For those wanting more action or looking to collect [[Ship Components]], Aggressive mode increases the chance of encountering enemies and bandits.
- Positioning: [[Ships]] attack from left to right. Place your strongest attackers on the left so they attack first.


=Final Tips for New Players=
==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.


<b>Experiment with Fleets:</b> Try different combinations of [[Ship]] types, weapons, and positions. You might find a strategy that fits your style better than standard setups.
- 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.


<b>Learn the Modes:</b> Each mode has different objectives, so adapt your fleet and strategies to match. For example, you’ll want healing [[Ships]] in [[Defeat the Horde]], while [[Expedition]] may require a more survival-focused setup.
===Expedition Mode===
- Sneak mode: Avoid enemies and survive longer.


<b>Practice Positioning:</b> Positioning can make or break a battle! Start with your strongest [[Ships]] on the left and work from there.
- Aggressive Mode – Increases the chance of encountering enemies and bandits to collect [[Ship Components]]


Now you’re ready to dive into the galaxy and command your fleet to victory! Good luck, Commander!
==Summary==
Build balanced fleets, understand weapon types, and use smart positioning. Experiment with different [[Ships]] to find your winning strategy.
