Description

The Jack-Al'-Lantern is a recolor of the Jackal. The primary change is that it was recolored to be orange. Its Hull, Top Speed, Turn Speed and Spinals are buffed compared to the regular Jackal, while its Shield is slightly lower, but otherwise it does not differ significantly from its counterpart.

Interior

The interior of the Jack-Al'-Lantern is identical to its counterpart, except that the statues lining the main walkway are replaced with skulls.

Advantages

Disadvantages

  • Requires good Spinal aim.
  • Very expensive for a Battleship.
  • Relatively low Shield health.
  • A limited ship, making those who use it a large target.
  • One of the worst limited ships in the event due to the fact that many other ships above 180 speed can outrun it's spinals, and the Zhen is a clear example.
