Ambience of the Abbadon

The Abbadon is a rather long and slim dreadnought with many fins jutting out of the ship including 2 Large inverted fins on the back. It has 6 Large Spinal Barrels attached to the front of the ship in a triangular pattern, and these emit flame particles, much like the ones found on the back. It has an almost identical Model to the Azreal, but has orange glowing layers, while the Azreal has blue ones.

The Abbadon shares the same interior as the Azreal and Lucifer, with a black, foggy hallway. At the front, there is a yellow glowing orb with electricity coming out of it, and in front of it there is yellow text that says "LANCER ABBADON ONLINE".

Advantages

• High maneuverability, makes it easier to escape combat situations without taking too much damage.
• Good siege ship, Capable of destroying Starbases with ease.
• Overall high DPS, from both Turrets and Spinals.
• Powerful Spinals.
• High alpha damage, being more than that of the Azreal.
• High health for a Dreadnought.
• Somewhat accurate turrets can hit ships as small as Cruisers.

Disadvantages

• Will be hunted, due to it being a limited ship.
• Unbalanced Shield Health compared to Hull, making it vulnerable against Hull-Breakers.
• Must be facing towards the target to use all weapons.
• Must be good at hitting spinals, as they make up most of the DPS.
• Large Blindspots underneath and on the back of the ship.
• People will know when it is spawned because of its ambiance being able to be heard from 100k studs away.
• Same with the Azreal, players may ask you to despawn your ship because of its loud ambiance.

Strategy

• Do not use this ship alone. If you do so, travel with a heavy escort that you can trust.
• Pay attention and check the Minimap often to make sure you're not about to be ambushed. Your limited status means you must always avoid damage as much as possible.
• Always try to hit your spinals, they account for a large portion of your DPS.
• The Abbadon is decently maneuverable for a Dreadnought, but do not go against opponents who are smaller and faster than you.
• Use the high firepower on this ship to dive and chase down vulnerable or isolated Capital Ships.
• Act as an extra pile of guns and not a flagship. The Abbadon can do tremendous amounts of damage, but being targeted greatly increases your chances of being destroyed.
• Stay away from Hull-Breakers like Hawklight, as your Hull has almost 1.5x the amount of your Shields.
