The Grandmaster Battleship is the Marauder counterpart to the Daemon Battleship.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

Just like the Daemon Battleship, this ship's overdrive is designed to decimate enemy targets with a bonus to DoT as well as weapon speed and AoE increases for torpedoes.

Like other Marauder ships derived from the Pharmakon faction, it has the ability to inflict Damage Over Time, which greatly complements its Phasing ability. Moreover, it starts out at 50% Void resistance without having to be upgraded, unlike others which start out with 10% at Mk I and only receive 50% at Mk V.

Disadvantages

The Grandmaster is not as durable as the Savage Battleship, possessing less base health. Being a battleship, they are sitting ducks if enemy ships are able to get close to it.

While it is able to phase in and out of combat when equipped with a screen, it is unable to fully utilize its weapons while in Phase State.

As with other T7C ships, it lacks Counter Chain, Counter Pierce and Counter Ricochet and is hence vulnerable to weapons with the corresponding abilities.

Trivia

The ship was shown to the public in the blueprint menu with the old Resurgence values yet released in that month's Alliance War after the downtime which revamped Resurgence as a whole.
The Grandmaster Battleship originally used the old XP curve for T7 ships. This has been fixed in the late March 2020 downtime.
The repair time of all Tier 7 ships apart from dreadnoughts has been standardized to a flat 2 hours (similar to existing Tier 8 ships) in the late September 2020 update.
