Overview

This reference collects core, confirmed mechanics for fleet composition and Flagship configuration useful for commanders and guild members. All items below are grounded in official guide material.

Champion order

Champion skills trigger left to right according to their placement in formation. Adjusting this order changes how abilities resolve and can affect battle outcomes.

Matching Heroes (Synergy Bonuses)

  • 3 matching Heroes: +20% ATK, +20% DEF, +20% INT.
  • 2 matching Heroes: +10% ATK, +10% DEF, +10% INT.

Energy Types — Rock, Paper, Scissors

  • Ion: strong against Beam, weak against Kinetic. Role: control and disruption.
  • Kinetic: strong against Ion, weak against Beam. Role: high burst damage.
  • Beam: strong against Kinetic, weak against Ion. Role: precision and sustained damage.
  • Using a ship strong against the enemy’s Energy Type grants a modest damage boost (confirmed as 5%).

Flagship Components and Core Component

  • The Flagship’s Core Component sets the Flagship’s damage Style and therefore the fleet’s overall Style.
  • Switching Core Components lets you counter enemy Styles; having the advantage grants a 5% damage bonus.
  • Flagship Components increase base attributes (ATK, DEF, INT); higher-quality components give larger boosts.
  • Flagship Components can be obtained from the Glory Shop, Ascendancy Shrines, and Tribute Vessels.

Tactical Notes (strictly implied by confirmed facts)

  • Order champions to control the timing of key skills—placing crowd-control or debuff skills earlier can change how enemy abilities resolve.
  • Aim for hero-match sets where possible: 3-matches provide a substantial stat increase over 2-matches.
  • Adjust Flagship Core Components to shift your fleet’s Style to one that counters common opponents on your server or in a specific event.
  • Prefer ships whose Energy Type is strong against expected opponents to secure the confirmed 5% damage edge.

Where these mechanics matter

These mechanics apply across fleet battles where Champion abilities, energy-type matchups, and Flagship configuration determine effectiveness—particularly in coordinated guild content and timed events.
