Revision as of 00:27, 30 December 2022

The IceFyre is a Nighthawk-esque Fighter unique to the Blizzard.

Description

The IceFyre is a Fighter found inside the Blizzard with an emphasis on shieldbreaking.

Appearance

The Icefyre has a flat profile with the appearance similar to that of a marine creature,

Advantages

Extremely high shield DPS of 167.
Extremely fast and agile for a fighter with a top speed of 280 and a turn speed of 0.82.
Pairs well with the Blizzard's high hull damage as it makes up for the IceFyre's low hull damage.

Disadvantages

It only has Phasers, making it very ineffective against Hull.
* Can be easily destroyed by AA Ships.

Strategy

This Fighter is best used in a swarm. Attack the enemy with high speed and with its high shield damage, a swarm will bring enemy ships to Hull quickly.
Utilize drifting and hit-and-run tactic to survive as long as possible while dealing the maximum amount of damage.
Focus on shield tanks like the Judgement or Aegis first, as the IceFyre focuses on shredding shields.
Use the ship's high maneuverability to get into the blind spots of larger ships and deal heavy spinal damage.

Version History

6 Small Phasers upsized to 6 Medium Phasers in an unknown version (only revealed in-game).
Acceleration reduced from 70 to 50 in an unknown version (only revealed in-game).
Remodeled in version .75a37.

Trivia

Replaced the Dragonflies that used to be found in the Blizzard.
