It spreads the Umbra Blight plague through its spawned ships and draws energy from Blight [[Nebula Fields]]. ==Strategy and Setup== ===Advantages=== The Aerico, like other uniques, has incredible mass reductions, enabling it to make use of even level IV [[Ablative Tungsten Armor]] and [[Thonian Armor]], which are notoriously mass-inefficient. It can make use of its Myrs to generate Blight Nebula Fields, then fly into them in order to receive both defensive and offensive bonuses from its [[Stalk]] overdrive. The closer it gets to enemies, the faster its Myrs are destroyed such that they respawn at a higher rate, which in turn fuels its [[Rile]] overdrive. Its speed, when combined with the 15 km engagement range of its spawned ships, enables it to kite most enemies except for [[dreadnoughts]], [[battlecruisers]] and other uniques such as the [[Zeus]], in addition to all [[Pharmakon Hulls]] due to their speed bonus in [[Phase State]]. Despite this speed, it is no pushover in terms of defense either, with four slots for [[Ablative Armor]], on par with the [[Behemoth Dreadnought]]. The Aerico has [[Counter Chain]] and [[Counter Ricochet]], which vastly decreases the effectiveness of the [[Epsilon ECHO Cannon]] and [[Glance Cannon]] respectively against this ship. In PvE, its spawned ships can keep the enemy AI distracted from the main fleet, thus reducing the amount of repair time taken from the battle. Like other Umbra ships, this ship deals extra damage against [[Altairian]] hulls. ===Disadvantages=== The Aerico only has one firing arc and, thus, lacks the firepower of [[battlecruisers]] and the [[Omega]]. It only has two armor slots and will go down quickly once stripped of its ablative armor. The Blight Nebula Fields generated by its spawned ships are ineffective against [[Umbra Hulls]] and to a lesser extent, [[Pharmakon Hulls]]. Moreover, enemy Umbra Hulls can quickly recover their ablative armor by targeting and/or destroying the Myrs, making this ship weak against its brethren. While resistant to [[Chain]] and [[Ricochet]] effects, the Aerico remains vulnerable to [[Piercing]] and [[Stasis Dealing]] weapons, which are favoured by the Pharmakon in particular. ==Upgrading== {{SmartTableStart}} {{SmartTableValueRow|Level|5|II {{MiniIcon|Aerico1}}; III {{MiniIcon|Aerico2}}; IV {{MiniIcon|Aerico2}}; V {{MiniIcon|Aerico3}}; VI {{MiniIcon|Aerico4}}|1}} {{SmartTableSpanRow|Slot Configuration}} {{SmartTableValueRow|Weapon Slots|5|5; 5; {{SpanGreen|6}}; 6; 6}} {{SmartTableValueRow|Ablative Armor Slots|5|{{SpanGreen|4}}; 4; 4; 4; 4}} {{SmartTableSpanRow|Specifications}} {{SmartTableValueRow|Max.
