The Zillavik is a powerful Limited Dreadnought which was added in the Halloween Event 2021.


Description

The Zillavik is a small dreadnought that shares design traits with the Nautilus. It could be obtained from the same place that Nautilus's quest was found before the event. It is a small, fast hull-shredder that is considered the strongest ship of its respective event.

Interior

The interior consists of a small room, with two slightly different levels. The seat is a pink chamber that tapers towards the roof and is surrounded by multiple floating pink screens. The slightly raised level contains very little apart from a pad which does nothing.

Advantages

  • Perfectly balanced healthpool.
  • High speed and small profile considering its class.
  • Very good turret placement, almost no blind spots.
  • Extremely high damage to hull.
  • Despite no shield-breaking turrets, it still does rather high damage to shields.
  • Large cargo for a dreadnought.

Disadvantages

  • Shield damage requires good spinal aim.
  • Extremely expensive, being one of the most expensive ships in its event, now requires a C-Class permit.
  • Limited, making it a large target for pirates.
  • Slow turnspeed for a ship with powerful spinals
  • Has some spots where only a few turrets can hit enemies.
  • The turrets don't have much range.

Strategy

  • Only use this ship alone when fighting ships that you are sure are weaker than you.
  • Avoid fights with ships that boast high shield health, like the Judgement and Lazarus.
  • Use your high hull damage to decimate ships with high hull health such as Armageddon.
  • Pair up with a shield-breaker like Crescendo, Zeus, or Sagittarius, to boost your effectiveness in battle.
