[Official] Mastering Fleet Power

In the vast reaches of the Galactic Frontier, victory doesn’t come down to firepower alone - it’s about knowing how to use it. Every ship in your fleet operates with a distinct Energy Type and can be further enhanced through Champion synergy and your Flagship’s Style. Understanding these systems is key to mastering the battlefield.

Ship Energy Types

Each ship in Foundation: Galactic Frontier specializes in one of three Energy Types: Beam, Kinetic, or Ionic. These Energy Types interact with one another in a strategic counter system that determines combat effectiveness.

Beam Type

• Uses concentrated energy beams to pierce defenses.

• Strong against: Kinetic ships

• Weak against: Ionic ships

• Battle Role: Precision and consistency - Beam ships excel at breaking through enemy armor with sustained damage.

Kinetic Type

• Fires solid projectiles for massive impact.

• Strong against: Ionic ships

• Weak against: Beam ships

• Battle Role: High burst damage and reliable physical attacks that can quickly crush weakened foes.

Ionic Type

• Manipulates charged particles to disrupt systems and weaken enemies.

• Strong against: Beam ships

• Weak against: Kinetic ships

• Battle Role: Control and disruption - Ionic ships excel at interfering with enemy performance, reducing their combat potential.

(Combat Tip: Using a ship strong against your target’s Energy Type grants a 5% damage boost - a small edge that can decide close battles!)

Champion Synergy - Aligning Heroes and Fleets

Your fleet’s strength isn’t just about the ships - it’s also about who commands them. Each Champion has an Energy Type that corresponds to the ships they lead. Matching your Champions’ Energy Types with their assigned ships creates powerful synergy bonuses.

Stat Overview

• ATK (Attack): Increases damage output.

• DEF (Defense): Reduces incoming damage.

• INT (Intelligence): Boosts tactical and ability efficiency (affecting damage, healing, or defense depending on the Champion’s role).

(Pro Tip: Align your fleet’s Energy Type with your Champions to maximize overall combat efficiency. A properly synchronized lineup can turn the tide of any engagement.)

Flagship Core Components & Styles

Your Flagship serves as the command center of your fleet - and its Core Components define your fleet’s overall Style. Managing and upgrading these components allows you to adapt your strategy to different opponents.

Core Components

• The Core Component determines your Flagship’s damage Style - and by extension, your entire fleet’s.

• Changing Core Components lets you counter enemy Styles, granting a 5% damage bonus when you have the advantage.

• This adaptability can create strong tactical edges during key encounters.

Flagship Components

• Additional Flagship Components further enhance your ships’ base attributes (ATK, DEF, INT).

• Higher-quality components offer greater boosts.

• Components can be obtained through:

• The Glory Shop

• Ascendancy Shrines

• Tribute Vessels

(Upgrade Tip: Regularly upgrading your Flagship’s components ensures your fleet remains competitive and scales with more challenging enemies.)

Formation & Skill Activation Order

Tactics matter - and so does the order of activation. When deploying your Champions, remember that skills activate in the order they’re placed, from left to right in your formation. Adjusting this order can dramatically influence how battles unfold.

(Strategic Example: Place support or debuff Champions first so their skills activate before your main damage dealers unleash their attacks.)

Final Thoughts

To truly command the Galactic Frontier, mastery of Energy Types, Champion synergy, and Flagship Styles is essential. Experiment with combinations, adapt your formations, and use the Energy counter system to your advantage. Whether you favor precise Beam strikes, overwhelming Kinetic barrages, or disruptive Ionic tactics - your fleet’s potential is only as strong as your strategic choices.
