It fires three thin yellow pellets which pass through blocking enemies before reloading. The Xeno Epsilon ECHO Cannon is an advanced version of the Epsilon ECHO Cannon that has built-in range increase and deals [[Damage Types#Alien Damage|Alien Damage]], taking on a green coloration. ==Strategy and Setup== ===Advantages=== Epsilon ECHO Cannons build on the strengths of the [[ECHO Ray]], being able to effortlessly damage the entire enemy fleet at once with the insane chain count. They can also destroy many [[squadrons]] at once and potentially ricochet towards the enemy [[carriers|carrier]] from extreme range. Epsilon ECHO Cannons perform best when also equipped with range extenders such as [[Beam Capacitor]]s. The intrinsic range increase of the [[Bastion Cruiser]] can further stack with this bonus, enabling this weapon to achieve a whopping 5,200 m even without its [[Overdrive]] effect. The Xeno version has extra range that substitutes the [[Beam Capacitor]], freeing up a special slot for other uses. [[Xeno Beam Capacitor]] is still useful for clearing out squadrons. ===Disadvantages=== Like other chain weapons, Epsilon ECHO Cannons are ineffective against a single target; even [[Pulse Cannon]]s exceed their mass efficiency. As a result, it becomes difficult to focus down one target at a time. [[Counter Chain]] technology such as [[Spectral Shell]]s render them much less powerful. Epsilon ECHO Cannons have a massive 50% damage penalty against [[modules]], making them unsuitable for base attacks. ==Trivia== *Each bounce reduces the damage output by one-third. *It has a similar firing pattern to the [[Rebound Ray]] that is used on the [[Alien Harvester|Reaper Harvesters]]. *The Xeno variant of this weapon is no longer available to Umbra hulls after the late April 2019 update to facilitate the rock-paper-scissors system between T7 factions. Existing items will be replaced by [[Blight Nova Cannon]] in the May 2019 update. ==Gallery== <gallery> epsilonechocannonaction.png|[[Bastion Cruiser]]s firing Epsilon ECHO Cannons at enemy [[modules]] Epsilon2.png|[[Bastion Cruiser]] firing Epsilon ECHO Cannons at a [[Guardian Cruiser|Guardian]] and [[Punisher Cruiser|Punisher]] Cruiser XEpsilon1.png|[[Bastion Cruiser]] firing Xeno Epsilon ECHO Cannons at an [[Bastion Cruiser (Oligarch)|Oligarch Bastion Cruiser]] XEpsilon2.png|The [[Chain]] effect of the Xeno Epsilon ECHO Cannon XEpsilon.png|A combination of Regular and Xeno Epsilon ECHO Cannons being fired at [[Cavalier Cutter (Oligarch)|Oligarch Cavalier Cutters]] </gallery> ---- {{Weapons}} [[Category:Altairian Technologies]] [[Category:Ship Weapons]]
