AI War:Spire Armor Rotter
| This page is up to date for game version 5.029 and should still be correct |
 |
Shots do fairly little damage, but eat away at the armor of ships they hit with each shot. Ship armor gradually regenerates over time (it takes up to 10 minutes to fully regenerate, depending on how much armor the target has), but cannot be directly repaired. Thus the armor rotters can create a window of opportunity for other ships to strike high-armor ships. |

How to use in your fleet
Armor Rotters are capable combat vessels for use in combination with the player fleet. Its value over that of anti-armor ship-types is that these vessels effectively increase the damage of the entire fleet against highly armored targets (effectively in 5.029, Raid Starships, Armored Golems, and Spirecraft Siege Towers). Admitted this is not many, and armor mechanics will be reviewed for the next large release - therefore watch this space for future developments.
