 ==Description==
-The '''Lazarus''' is a '''[[Ships|Ship]]''' with an astounding [[Shields|Shield]] health and a very balanced firepower. While not being one of the most maneuverable '''[[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]''', it can still inflict a great deal of damage to ships of the same size or bigger thanks to its powerful [[Spinal Weaponry|Spinal Phasers]] and [[Turrets|Kinetic turrets]]. Due to the lack of [[Hull]], it can be heavily countered by Shieldbreakers.

Due to the lack of [[Hull]], it can be heavily countered by shield-breakers.
 ==Interior==
-The interior of the '''Lazarus''' is very odd; the ship is entered through a teleporter located at the far tip. The interior is just a seat with the word "Interior" in front of it. The cockpit itself is located in a bulge beneath the ship that makes the camera view awkward.
+The interior of the '''Lazarus''' is a small, very dark room containing only the pilot's seat and teleporter, and is entered via the teleporter on the back tip of the ship.
 == Advantages==
-*Overall high DPS towards both [[Shields|Shield]] and [[Hull]], focusing mainly torward the former.
+*Overall high DPS towards both [[Shields|Shield]] and [[Hull]], focusing mainly toward the former.
 *Triple [[Turrets]] have a fast fire rate, making it a little easier to fight smaller ships.
 *Can easily shred [[:Category:Battleship|Battleships]], other [[Dreadnoughts]], Carriers, and even Bosses with low support.
-*Very high shield health
+*Very high shield health, great for countering hull-breakers such as [[Ridgebreaker]] and [[Avalon]].
-*Spinals fire from one point and all at once, making it easy to hit all the phaser shots.
+*[[Spinal Weaponry|Spinals]] fire from one point and all at once, making it easy to hit all the individual shots.
-*Can 1v1 a Punisher if it is unguarded.
+*Can solo a Punisher if it is unguarded.
-*Can even hit small ships if you go 500-300 studs away from them, and go below them to open fire from all turrets.
+*Can even hit small ships if you get within 300-500 studs of them and maneuver below them to open fire from all turrets.
-*If you can use your spinals, especially against bosses,
+*Great DPS if you can use your [[Spinal Weaponry|spinals]], especially against easier-to-hit bosses.
 == Disadvantages==
-*May be difficult to get full line of sight with the turrets.
+*Difficult to get full line of sight with the [[turrets]], requiring careful angling and frequent repositioning even for larger moving targets.
 *Lacks [[Shields|Shield]] damage without the use of its [[Spinals]].
 * Lowest [[Hull]] health of its class.
 *Multiple blind spots, most notably on the back and below.
-*Needs proper angling for all Turrets to attack a specific target.
+*Has a long frame.<sup>Why is this a disadvantage?</sup>
-*Has a long frame.
 *Shield breakers such as the [[Zeus]] and [[Sagittarius]] will shred almost all of its health pool.
-*Sluggish maneuverability.
+*Sluggish speed and maneuverability.
 == Strategy==
-*The '''Lazarus's''' great DPS and immense shields makes it excellent for running into an existing battle or diving a base then escaping without the enemy knowing if you are low or not.
+*The '''Lazarus's''' great DPS and immense [[shields]] makes it excellent for running into an existing battle or diving a [[Starbase|base]] then escaping without the enemy knowing if you are low or not.
 *Deciding to escape battles with a few thousand shields is recommended to avoid being hulled. Players will certainly dive a hulled '''Lazarus'''.
-*Avoid shield shredders like the '''Zeus''' or '''Sagittarius''' as they can severely damage or even kill a '''Lazarus''' with ease.
+*Treat your shield health as if it were the entire health pool, because it pretty much is. Consider half-shields to be the equivalent of "hulled" and you will live through many more tough encounters.
-*Try not to let enemy ships get under you, as you will have no turrets on the underside of the Lazarus.
+*Avoid shield shredders like the [[Zeus]] or [[Sagittarius]] as they can severely damage or even kill a '''Lazarus''' with ease.
+*Be careful around [[Aliens]], especially [[Punisher]] and [[Decimator]] as their high shield damage can tear you apart. An unsupported Punisher can be face-tanked, but if Deci spawns you should run.
+*When fighting NPC [[pirates]], keep in mind that even the [[hull]] damage-focused [[Galleon]] can dish out over 400 [[Shields|shield]] DPS.
+*Try not to let enemy ships get under you, as you there are no [[turrets]] on the underside of the ship.
