Description[ | ]
The interceptor is a damage dealer who excels at dishing out damage whilst being able to comfortably maneuver around the map. It can be bought in the shop for 10000 interceptor puzzle pieces which can be obtained through events. Interceptor serves as a close counterpart to the shooter, having a high amount of firepower whereas in this case, having 1 less red slot in exchange for a yellow item slot. With this minor change, interceptor is able to both use weapons and abilities, making the ship extremely versatile.
Pros and Cons[ | ]
Pros
- High firepower
- High Speed
Cons
- relatively low health
- limited utility
- Significantly harder to obtain/level up
Strategies[ | ]
Interceptor is a very formidable opponent, being able to deal heavy damage and have access to utility items. Although it might be only 1 yellow slot, that one slot can make a huge difference. When playing the interceptor, similar to shooter, try your best to position yourself to dish out the most damage depending on your weapon setups. If you have any Fixer allies, aim to stick with them as it will increase your survival chance. Interceptor fills up one of shooter's biggest flaws, maneuverability. The interceptor is considerably more agile and thus can be used to force players into 1v1 situations and deal high damage. Here are some weapon/utility recommendations:
Nitro 99% of the time, you will want to run nitro on the interceptor especially in higher leagues. Just the single nitro gives the interceptor the edge in being able to dodge and enter and exit the battlefield. Other items such as overboost and tesla bolt can also be used but it is strongly adviced to go for nitro first.
Flare Gun + Explosive Cannon
A Fan favourite setup, you can never go wrong with the flare+explo duo. Set your enemies on fire and blow them up with this powerful setup. If your planning to run this setup, try your best to get explo perks which increase damage against enemies on fire to maximize dps.
Railgun and Sniper
Always good source's of damage at range. If your planning to adapt a sniper based interceptor, using weapons such as the railgun and sniper are perfect for the job. you'll be able to deal massive damage whilst effortlessly dodging attacks with your nitro (assuming you equipped nitro). You may also use weapons such as the missile launcher as well put at long range, missiles tend to be more spread and thus damage is reduced. Use Missile If your planning to fight around midrange.
Carronade
A very good choice for close range brawling. Carronade has extremely high dps when at point plank and thus, viable on the interceptor. Make sure not to equip more than 2 Carronades at once as you won't make the best of Interceptor's high amount of weapon points. When running double Carronade, make sure to equip 2 other weapons which can also be used at mid - long range. This ensures that if it is too dangerous to be at point plank range, you have some form of dps at mid-long range.
Grenade (and also Blast cannon) Similar to flare+explo setup, use this setup to deal high damage via the grenades chance to set enemies on fire and blast cannon's increased damage against fire inflicted opponents. A great choice for the Interceptor.
Precautions[ | ]
-The Interceptor doesnt have unlimited weapon slot points. You can only equip up to 3, 2 Point weapons and so be mindful when your choosing your weapon setup
-Tesla Shield and Frost launcher cannot be equipped on The interceptor as they both require 2 point slots whereas the interceptor only has a 1 point utility space.
-If you want to obtain and upgrade this ship, be ready to grind alot of event as this ship as well as the Reaper and Striker do not use gold to upgrade their hull, but their corresponding ship pieces.
