Insanely good in the early game, and even in the late game if you have merely 1 power to spare. Dual lasers shoots 2 shots for 1 power and charges in 10 seconds. Because shots come from random directions it might be just too late sometimes, but when you add 1 automated reloader to that mix it does so very consistently! Especially if you open with three charged shots and then autofire it generally stays stacked for the entire fight granted that you don't miss (even without reloaders it stays stacked for super long).Ħ. Get -20% charge from a max skilled weapons guy and that becomes 4.8 seconds, which is less than the 5 seconds that it takes for ion damage to go away. The ion charger for example charges in 6 seconds. Having a skilled weapons guy and/or automated reloaders totally changes the game for ion weapons.

Other AI units can't even move in if the room is full and the ones stunned have no chance of escaping to the medbay.ĥ.

Throwing a stun bomb into a full room before boarding basically gives you free kills. It can snowball a fight pretty quickly.Ĥ. That's amazingly reliable to defer repairs and makes a big difference when used in piloting/engines when your enemy is fleeing, or when used on weapons/shields to deny repairs in between volleys. Breach bombs and Heavy Crystal II have 100% chance to cause a hull breach. I agree it's not worth buying, but since it doesn't have to take up a slot (you can switch it in and out in between battles) it's a nice addition to a clone bay build.ģ. That extra 5-10% evade that can give you makes a big difference. Healing burst is pretty unreliable because it can miss, but a great use case for it (if you have missiles saved up), is to keep a clone bay crew at full health without sacrificing their skill progression. That's more efficient than Flak I or BL II! I don't see how that's in the same tier as a basic laser ).Ģ. On most ships it does 3-4 system damage, charges in 12 seconds and costs one power. Mini beam is one of the best weapons in the game imo, and (possibly together with halberd beam) the best beam weapon in the game. Wondering what you think of my comments based on what I missed in the video:ġ. Most 'upgraded' weapon versions are far worse than their lower grade counterparts. Super enjoyable video! Agree with the majority of what you said. It's really good because it can cripple the enemy for quite some time, and it combos really well with boarding strategies. I agree with most of the ratings here, but I'd move the Breach Bomb 2 up to C. For example, the Glaive would go here, because it's a fun weapon to use, but it's expensive and you'd rather get something like the Halberd.ĭ-tier weapons are highly specialized or just plain bad. Most of the other Ion weapons fall here, and I'd push a good number of the B-tier weapons here too. I'd put Heavy Laser here because it uses so little power and is a great way to follow a volley.Ĭ-tier weapons are also build-dependent but worse (in terms of power or slot efficiency) than B and above weapons. These weapons stand out because they have really good damage to power, but something like the Mini-Beam or Dual Laser might be replaced because of limited weapon slots.ī-tier are good weapons but are build-dependent. The Mini-Beam, Halberd, Dual Laser and a few others would go here.

I wouldn't put the Halberd beam there.Ī-tier are really good weapons that fit most builds, but have a drawback. The only weapons would be the Flak and Burst 2. S-tier are weapons you should pretty much always get, and can win you an entire run by itself.
