How to use in your fleet

Polarizers are mostly picked for their unique damage ability, as they paradoxically do more damage to armoured ships such as Bombers, Raid Starships and Armored Golems. What this may also mean is that they do more damage against the armoured ships of higher marks - most mark upgrades come with linearly higher armour as well, increasing the damage boost.

There are plenty of ships with zero armour, however. Polarizers will not perform like Fighters in general combat situations. Thankfully, they're only twice as expensive and will combine well with your short-range fleet.

The exact damage as a function of armour is not yet listed, but the stats given in the 5.029 spreadsheets implies a multiplier between 4 and 100, i.e. 38K to 940K DPS. It is unknown how this works with Armor damage or Planetary Armor Inhibitors.
