The Heavy is a heavily armored, powerful, but slow Tier 2 ship. It is the first ship to be oriented into firepower instead of some kind of utility. The Heavy is the first ship in the Heavy category of the Ship Upgrade tree.


Heavy Shield

A Heavy with its timed shield turned on.

Its active skill is Timed Shield, and it can also expend scrap to increase its maximum health and weapon damage. It is the most capable fighter of the Tier 2 ships, however its slow speed means it may difficulty chasing down targets if they choose to flee.

Strategies[]

As long as it doesn't get outnumbered, the Heavy has little to fear from enemy ships of the same tier and can afford to pick one-on-one fights to defend its territory against Supports and Utilities. However the Heavy shouldn't get too cocky and become too isolated from its teammates, as it is often too slow to run from situations where it finds itself at a disadvantage.

A Heavy can easily handle itself in a fight with a Base Ship. In the early-game, patrolling farther-out areas and picking off Supports, Base Ships, or Utilities (the first and last while starting at or near full health) one-by-one is a fair strategy to attempt alongside standard scrap-gathering. As opposed to the Bruiser and the Bully, which feature both advanced toughness and firepower, the Heavy is weak defensively, though strong offensively.

The Heavy is a poor choice if one wants to advance more quickly through the Tiers. Being slower than their peer ships, and lacking the passive scrap skill, Heavy ships have a harder time acquiring scrap. Players are likely to reach higher tiers more quickly if they advance through the Utility category (aided by Passive scrap) or, to a lesser extent, through the Support category.

Upgrading to the Heavy is required if one wishes to eventually upgrade to the Bruiser and the Bully.
