Each of the formations has distinct advantages depending on the situation, allowing players to tailor their strategies for maximum effectiveness in different combat scenarios.
In fleet management, the formation mastery of your commander plays a key role in improving your fleet's performance. When your commander’s formation mastery aligns with the formation of your fleet, you unlock an attribute bonus that can make a big difference in battle.
If your fleet's formation counters the enemy’s, your commanders and ships will have even more advantages. When your fleet's formation aligns with your commanders and ships, it gains a 15% boost in damage dealt and a 15% reduction in damage taken from enemy attacks. This creates a significant edge, making the right formation choice a game-changer in battle.
The Five Main Formations
There are five core formations you can choose from, each offering different benefits:
- Encirclement Formation - Marks enemies and increases their received damage.
- Phalanx Formation - Reduce received damage for your fleets.
- Intercept Formation - Reduces the data rate of enemy commanders and ships.
- Assault Formation - Increase the deployment speed of your fleets.
- Siege Formation (Season 1 Only) - Boosts siege damage for all fleets.
Each formation has specific advantages that can be useful depending on the situation, allowing you to customize your strategy for maximum effectiveness. To make these attribute bonuses even stronger, you'll need to upgrade the institutes of the corresponding formation in the Homebase.
