Uses & Tactics

• Wraiths should foremost harass the enemies economy by attacking enemy Miners and/or destroying enemy Cargo Drones. As a Wraith pilot you don't need to kill enemy Miners but rather hinder them from collecting Minerals, but if the opportunity arises go for the kill. Wraiths can also be responsible for engaging enemy fighters that are attacking your teams Miners.
• Wraiths should engage enemies only when they have been properly supplied with energy, request power transfers from the Battlecruiser science console and always be mindful of your energy levels. Avoid wasting energy from unnecessary side boosts and attacks.
• Use the Wraiths, Miner Ping ability, to locate enemy miners, and use the Battlecruisers Radar Ping to plan routes around enemy fighters
• Wraiths pilots should work as a team with one another!
• Utilize the wraiths boost abilities, note however that boosts drain energy;
  • Use side boost to dodge incoming fire or collisions.
  • Use side boost to flee a lethal situation.
• When attacking, go in from below. The view is greater above ships and smaller below.
• Hold shift and F (fire Plasma Cannon hotkey) to get a reliable volly of attacks against Miners.

Tips

Wraith vs;

• Miner: EMP Miners before they Turbo Jump to get extra damage, line up the wraith and attack in devastating vollies. Try to approach Miners such that you block off their retreat to the Battlecruiser. Make sure to also EMP Miners Cargo Drones to slow them down then finish them off with Plasma Cannon. Chain EMP's with ally Wraiths to dominate Miners.
• Chomper: Keep your distance and avoid the Chomper from Chomping your Wraith, be wary of nearby enemy Battlecruiser which will provide small ship and weapon console support. EMP the Chomper when its engines are full or if its about to dock with low hull to gain extra time to finish it off.
• Wraith: Keep moving and avoid fighting Wraiths with more energy and upgrades than you. Fight unfair against enemy Wraiths use your allies and abuse the map warp edges to escape, do anything to get the edge over the opponent.
• Corvette: keep a distance between the enemy corvette; use boosts and high speed to fire at long range at the enemy; time your emps both to slow the Corvette when its trying to close the distance and also time it around the Corvettes shield which will deflect the projectile.
• Destroyer:

• Minelayer:
• Infiltrator:
• Subjugator:
• Battlecruiser:
