Ask Specs anything week 3

Today’s question comes from Rikki, and it is

What specials do you have on your Dead Eye Executioners?

Great question and one I am sure many are wondering what to do. These specials will also work for the Executioner turrets if you can get them in the raid this week.

First, You will want at least level 6 stand and level 7 to get the most out of your turrets. In the mean time if you only have level 5 you can put Thermobaric Casing 2 on your Deadeye, due to the base power it requires. These two come to 3909 energy usage, and a level 5 stand is 4000. Now when you get to level 6, you get a bit more wiggle room and can go a few different routes.

The first route is the poor person’s path. I call it this because you might not have been able to get the blueprints from the weekly yet, or draconian bases/draconian U base. So, in the advance lab, we can research Scramjet 3 and Thermobaric casing 3. This setup will put you at 5188 power of the 6400 you have on level 6 stand. Other useful specials are Priority targeting, Frontline platform Mc, smart warheads, frontline platform Z. There are a few more I am sure I am missing here, but most of those were in the weekly, and draconian bases (both kinds)

Now, why those? Well if you look at them you will see that they do one of three things. They extend range, boost damage, or focus all fire power on a single ship that is most damaged. Smart warheads and the frontline platform z are my personal favorite. As they boost damage, range, priority targeting and reload.

Level 7 stand you the added option to go with a Defense Transformer, or Offensive transformer both researchable. We will get the third one in the weekly on June 22 that will extend range. These transformers give up something to boost something. The defense you gain defense, losing damage. Offensive you increase damage, but lose defense. The range one will be extending the range of your turret and giving up damage (if rumor holds and this is how it is released).

In this instance, I would go with Attack transformer as that will give me a nice boost to damage over the extra defenses that is wasted (IMHO) on a back turret.

So, to answer the question of what is on mine? I have Smart Warheads, Frontline Platform Z, and I am still working on level 7 stands, but will be going with the attack transformer when I get the base parts or time.

Feel free to ask questions in the comment section and I will answer as soon as I can.

Thank you Rikki for this weeks question.
