The Paragon Battleship is a Tier 7 battleship that drains the Piercing effect of weapons on hit. As a battleship, this ship has bonus range and duplicate weapons for each firing arc, dealing massive damage from a safe distance. Its Barrage Overdrive ability activates whenever an enemy gets in range, increasing the maneuverability as well as weapon effectiveness of the ship.

Missile weapons that are equipped on this ship travel 25% faster and deal extra health damage.

Strategy and Setup[ | ]

Advantages[ | ]

In addition to its increased health over previous classes of Battleship, the Paragon is also capable of dealing heavy damage with its 8 weapon slots. Its Counter Pierce also negates the effectiveness of piercing weapons such as the Bayonet Missile as well as the AP Driver, thus reducing the amount of damage it can take from those weapons. It also grants a boost to the speed of missile weapons equipped to it, increasing their accuracy.

The Barrage Overdrive ability is effectively a passive overdrive. Once an enemy is fired upon, it has little hope of ever entering the Paragon Battleship's blind spot due to the increase to turning speed. Moreover, the ship gains extra weapon speed, making it more difficult for enemies to dodge incoming attacks. However, the most powerful bonus is its massive bonus to AoE Radius, easily nuking the entire fleet at once.

It has increased damage against cruisers, which combined with the health damage bonus to missiles, allows the Paragon Battleship to destroy them much faster. As an Altairian ship, it deals bonus damage against the Pharmakon faction.

Disadvantages[ | ]

It is vulnerable to Tier 7 cutters and battlecruisers as they deal bonus damage against battleships.

With only one armor slot, it is vulnerable to shield bypass and can be taken down easily if not carefully protected.

Trivia[ | ]

The health damage bonus was added as part of a balancing patch during April 2018.
Along with other T7A Herald ships before the Renascence Battlecruiser, this ship has received complete resistance to Alien Nebula and Plasma Nebula in the early April 2019 update.
All player ships had their Resurgence values modified as a result of the late February 2020 update.
