This may sound only somewhat useful, but in practice it can steal victory from the jaws of defeat. This keeps the enemy disorganized, making it difficult to effectively counter your forces. The Repulsion ability is a low-cost special which will scatter all enemy vessels in a large radius. Research will unlock the Repulsion ability for the Guardian however. Because the Aeria Drone Host can be had very early in the game, many Advent players will use an early carrier rush instead of trying to rush with Light Frigates or Illuminators.ДЄ support cruiser, the main ability of the Iconis Guardian is a shield which can extend over other vessels, reducing incoming damage. On the downside, each Aeria Drone Host only brings one load of fighters or bombers - but cost-to-cost, building two Aeria Drone Hosts is about the same as building one carrier from the other races.

Although it is a carrier and performs the same function of bringing fighters and bombers into combat, it is cheaper and easier to research then the carriers of the other races, and it is also cheaper to build. CruisersДЄlthough all carriers do basically the same thing for every race, the Aeria Drone Host is a bit different. It very tough, and very effective against fighters. Like the Purge Vessel, the Defense Vessel is nearly the same as its counterparts among the other races, and it has no special abilities. The Defense Vessel is really more specific than it sounds, as it is actually meant only to defend against fighters. The Purge Vessel has no special abilities. It is quicker than other bombardment frigates, however. Like most such frigates, it is weak against anything in the sky. Nothing fancy here - the Purge vessel is the Advent planetary bombardment frigate. The only downside to the Illuminator is how quickly it becomes overshadowed by the Advent carrier, which is useful against a wider range of targets than the Illuminator. They are fairly robust, so theyвЂ™re useful to have around. The Illuminator also has the Illusion special ability, which creates doubles of the Illuminator. In comparison to, say, a TEC Javelis however, Illuminators have shorter range, are more expensive, do more damage, and are much tougher. They fulfill largely the same role as missile frigates, in that they are great at clearing out large numbers of weaker vessels from a relatively safe distance. Instead, it uses long-range beam weapons that can focus on multiple targets at a time. The Illuminator is the AdventвЂ™s light missile frigate. Using these two abilities, Disciples can be used like antimatter batteries, sap up the energy of the enemy, storing it, and then feeding it to your own units when needed. Using Steal Antimatter, Disciples can render enemy ships incapable of using their special abilities, and they will also be able to transfer antimatter to friendly cruisers and capital ships that have run dry. Antimatter is what all units need to use special abilities.

Later in the game, the Disciple can be upgraded with two very useful abilities, called Steal Antimatter and Transfer Antimatter. This fragility, combined with their spend, make them best at hit-and-run tactics. Disciples are very easy to crank out in large numbers, but they will be decimated in any fight where they donвЂ™t hold a large numerical advantage. Compared to the frigates of other races, it is less expensive, weaker, more fragile, and quicker. The Disciple is the AdventвЂ™s baseline light frigate. This is useless however, as the amount of damage done is not even enough to destroy an enemy scout. With research, the Seeker can be upgraded with the Martyrdom special, which sends the ship on a suicide run. Just keep the Seeker out of combat, as it wonвЂ™t last long. This isnвЂ™t to say scouts are useless, because gathering intelligence on enemy locations is crucial. You wonвЂ™t be using these for combat, so the hull and weapon strength of the this vessel isnвЂ™t important.

The Seeker Scout is basically the same as any other scout frigate.
