General[ | ]

Zynthium Plates are the final researchable base armor, commonly used in medium- to high-level bases.

Strategy and Setup[ | ]

Advantages[ | ]

Zynthium Plates are extremely mass efficient and give much more health compared to Iridium Plates, enabling your modules to take on heavy-duty weapons.

Disadvantages[ | ]

Zynthium Plates are succeeded by Capacitive Plates II-III which are more mass efficient and offer even more protection than Zynthium Plates II and V respectively.

Trivia[ | ]

It used to be called Zynthium Alloy along with the ship version, but was simplified to Zynthium Plates.
The equipping time of all old blueprint items for bases was reduced by half during the May 2020 update.
