The Savager is a dreadnought class ship for the Substrate.
Background
This dreadnought destroyer tends to vaporize whatever has its focus; the 4 mounted Ion Cannons quick-fire energy to keep incoming ground and air threats at bay while its mysterious WMC weapon deals heavy damage with full armor-piercing to any ground targets foolish enough to get too close. Can upgrade to a Polaron anti-air beam.
Weapon Specs
Ion Cannon [x4]
- 158 DPS per unit
- 700 meter range
WMC
- 321 DPS per unit
- 750 meter range
- 100% Armor-piercing
Game Usage
- The Savager can be treated as a tier 3 Mauler, melting any tier 3 units if allowed to engage in close combat. Its strength is increased significantly once the Executor upgrade is acquired (orange beam weapon). This allows it to beat the Prometheus in a duel, with equal upgrades. However, it will leave the duel with not much health left, albeit victorious. This upgrade is only available at level 4 however, meaning it's very rare to be able to acquire it.
- Despite its description and the nature of its weapons, it's still quite deadly vs cruisers (albeit less than the Retributor and/or Overmind). Approaching a Savager with a cruiser army will still incur quite some cruiser losses but you can eventually wear it down.
- If there is no supporting army, the Savager can actually be taken down by swarming frigates, a very cost-effective method, although it is an unlikely scenario. This is, however, not true if the Shield Amplifier upgrade has been acquired.
- The Savager can also be used to clear defenses as its main weapon can target turrets. However, it does so in a brute force manner and will likely go down itself if the defenses is well fortified and has many Sentinel Turrets or Pulverizer Turrets or their upgraded versions.
- The Savager possesses 1 upgrade that can change the dynamics of how it can be dealt with by non-anti-Dread armies, which is the Shield Amplifier upgrade. This upgrade significantly increases the regeneration of the Savager shield, making it being able to outlast smaller armies in combat and can cause cruisers armies to have a lot of trouble killing it when it's well-controlled.
