The Royalist Coronata Strategy

from Sins Forums

 

Hated by many-and branded as the worst titan in the game-the coronata is as secretive as it younger sibling the rapture battle-cruiser (minimal weapons-dangerous abilities when the right situation presents itself):

Its a short range to medium utility cannon. As such you should drive it into enemy fleet with suppression aura and unity mass. Thats all that is needed.

Suppression aura reduces the damage output of all enemies within 3000 to 5000km..

The numbers hit up to around -40% starting around -25%. Now how is this relevant to your needs? well the ability targets all enemy ships but as you can already tell it can also be comboed with rapture battlecruisers starting at -20% to -55% (give or take) using vertigo.

At level 1 your cutting damage down by 45% level 2: 65% or so to around 85 or 95%. It doesn't end there ofcourse because guardians effectively absorb 33% of any damage with shield projection.

Vertigo may not be affecting titans and abilities but it shouldn't really matter to you because this is where the advent royalist corvettes come into play. They distrupt all enemy ships targeting systems by -5%. As you can see the nightmare scenario starts to become clear..this is the wtf scenario some experience when facing defense vessels with vertigo while using Heavy cruisers and scream for flak to be nerfed. unfortunately it doesn't end there because given advents culture bonuses with phase missile block, high shield mitigation, research that boosts damage and defenses it  suddenly turns into a omfg scenario. 

How does one pull off such a strategy-because you can't start off with raptures- well skill aside, corvettes help halcyon and rapture starts. 

So now what about unity mass..a smart genius would have already figured this out.. with all these damage debuffs you can essentially spam these mini corvette frigates (we want the entity type to remain as frigate because of unity mass so don't listen to modders) and they just don't die as easily unless of-course theres abilities like chastic noob bursts being fired.

Hmmm so you have 2 caps in the begining-try to get to 3:

1 halcyon, 1  rapture, 1 discord (Fracture/scream): Spam as many frigates (flak, corvettes) and not worry about them dieing so much. At this point your just fueling the ray gun that is Unity mass.

Its all about fleet composition--

You need a discord to interrupt repair and ability disablers while dealing damage and reducing armor points

 

..................

 

p.S: I HATE/love working with SYNERGIES with the royalist because it may as-well be as complicated as differential calculus--haven't even brought in guidance into the equation.  

anyway that's the combo that results in you not loosing too many ships with the loyalist. 

Happy gaming!

Its a good ship, it can't quite take the hits like it should though, needs a little more tank to be able to stand toe to toe with other titans.  The ragnarov does eat this titan for breakfast, or rather it eats the supporting fleet required to protect this ship adequately, THEN it eats the Coronata.  Considering the popularity of the TEC rebel titan, I believe a survivability buff for this ship is in order. 

I agree the advent synergies are very complex and offer a LOT of different strategies, if you could field a fleet of capitals.  Unfortunately advent have a focus fire weakness (that is thankfully almost gone due to the addition of the corvette) which means that they have to field a large fleet no matter what the occaision.

The Coronata is very good because of Suppression Aura, but that's about the extent of it's power.  

Unity Mass is weaker than Snipe and requires a surrounding fleet.

What Volt said.

 

 

ALso I think when the vasari comes in we're going to see more of it's other weakness: which is to say it's one of the most fleet-dependent titans in the game(relying on frigates for damage) and has no real way to defend it's fleet against large amounts of AoE damage.

Right now the only AoE superstar is Eradica, but both Vasari titans have a ton of AoE slaughter capability(though to be fair the VLT's AoE slaughter is it's AoE frigate instakill ult).

 

Well, hopefully in the coming patches they give subjugating assault and unity mass some love.

Best fleet combination is Suppression Aura, Unity Mass, Vertigo, Shield Projection, Disable Targeting.

Then just have 150 Corvettes in a closely clustered fleet. 

 

Add the values and you get: a level 4 Unity mass with around 12, 250 dps where level 1 unity mass is 8500 dps

Unity mass has a maximum target limit.

 

Rank 1 unity mass will never do more then 2000 damage(it only benefits from a maximum of 20 nearby ships).  Rank 4 caps out at 5750 damage if memory serves(benefiting from no more then 50 nearby ships). And that's damage per cast(which is to say per 25 seconds)  not "DPS"

 

Unity Mass is basically Snipe, only with 1/2 the range, a 3x longer cooldown, a hefty nearby ship requirement, and for all those downside it does 15-20% more damage at most(assuming you have the max allowable targets nearby).

 

unity Mass definitely needs some love.

Then they should unlock the limit..i had the understanding it was unlocked.. let me test it. 

edit:

the locking will screw this titans offensive.. unless suppression also increases enemy titan ability cool-downs by the same value up to 40% it will be up to carriers, corvettes and crusaders to kill enemy titans.

Yes it is locked, and the coronata's offensive capability IS totally weak.  This should have a LOT more punching power. 

Since the coronata needs a fleet to be effective, both in offense and defense, and the other titans in game are good at clearing fleets quickly, the advent loyalists fail fundamentally in their core strategy.  This is because the opposing titans WILL ALWAYS use their powerful AOE abilities to clear away the coronata's fleet, leaving the coronata unsupported and incredibly weak.

The ONLY reason to build a coronata is to have a progen/guardian combo, yet this strategy is EXTREMELY expensive compared to other core racial military strategies and due to the cost it is not effective.  Even when this strategy is achieved the advent are only barely competitive, they aren't overpowered.  The vasari on the other hand are overpowered at every aspect of the game except at the very beginning.  So any vasari that has a lot of neutrals nearby or a few more jump lanes between his home world and his opponents, will have the advantage.  Period.
