== Advantages ==
*Very high damage output with its advanced [[Turrets]] and [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinals]] for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]].
* Massive damage output of an Astonishing 300 Shield DPS, and 233 Hull DPS, more than most Dreadnoughts!
* Fast and flat, allowing for easier dodging and reduced damage when Drifting.

* Powerful [[Spinals]]
* Large Cargo Hold for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]]
* Insanely fast for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]], having a top speed of 185.
*Speed, Maneuverability, and Firepower all make up for the Helios' lack of hull integrity.

*Weak against, and capable of being easily destroyed by shield shredding targets.

*Requires an alternate form of drifting(known as "vertical drifting") to effectively drift; which may make you an easier target to hit for an opposing pilot with decent [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinal]] aim.
 
*When the '''Helios''' is not in rotation, you cannot get it again after you lose it until the next rotation.
== Disadvantages ==
*Expensive cost and [[:Category:Advanced Ship|Advanced]] classification makes for a high priority target.
* Very weak and mediocre [[Hull]].
==Strategy==
* Can be killed easily by a coordinated gamma team meaning you suck and should try on a baby sized version; "Zhen".

* Low Health for a [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]].
* Shut the hell up about line of sight, its los is decent and manoeuvrability and speed backs everything else up
*Not as good as the [[Imperator]], another [[:Category:Advanced Ship|Advanced Battleship]], due to drifting being heavily nerfed.
OMG , it beats the imperator if not piloted by a gamma, you probabaly lost it drifting is still acceptable at 50% and could kite.

Description

The Helios is a very fast and hard-hitting Battleship.

Interior

There is a teleport pad, which teleports you to a black room with a pilot's chair which is essentially a nice looking chair in a box.

Advantages

  • Very high damage output with its advanced Turrets and Spinals for a Battleship.
  • Fast and flat, allowing for easier dodging and reduced damage when Drifting.
  • Insanely fast for a Battleship, having a top speed of 200.
  • Large Cargo Hold for a Battleship
  • Speed, Maneuverability, and Firepower all make up for the Helios' lack of hull integrity.

Disadvantages

  • Very weak Hull.
  • Weak against, and capable of being easily destroyed by shield shredding targets.
  • Requires an alternate form of drifting(known as "vertical drifting") to effectively drift; which may make you an easier target to hit for an opposing pilot with decent Spinal aim.
  • When the Helios is not in rotation, you cannot get it again after you lose it until the next rotation.
  • Expensive cost and Advanced classification makes for a high priority target.

Strategy

  • Use your high mobility to out maneuver most Ships and obliterate Dreadnoughts and Battleships with ease.
  • Drift to minimize the damage you receive.
  • Don't attack large fleets that can shoot accurately enough to counter your speed.

  • Avoid Shield Breakers such as the Zeus, as they will break your Shields and destroy you easily.

  • Show off to your friends that you have one of the most powerful PvP Ships.
