Advent

from Sins Forums

I fairly new to the game, and have taken a liking to the Advent.  I have read many of the forums for advice and was looking for some Advent specific advice.  Nothing really specific needed, just thought this might be a good post for new people looking for ways to kick ass with the Advent.  Good advice for like opening strategies on all types of maps, good fleet make up, that type of thing.

Thanks

Read through the forums - their is HEAPs of advice. The thing you are probably most needing to know about is called the Advent Battle Ball....

If possible could you give me the links to those forums?  I've only gotten to read through page 9 of the forums and there is a lot of stuff, some of it is also labled oddly.

Thanks

I suggest getting 3 hostility labs and researching drain antimatter. Then you make nothing but disciples!  You will die of course, but the soudn they make is so precious!

Ship diversity is important for Advent fleets as their abilities are very complimentary of each other. The most sought after frigate in Advent fleets for abilities is probably the Iconus Guardian for its Shield Projection and Repulsion abilities.

Oh, and Holy Trinity = Progenitor Mothership, Radiance Battleship, Rapture Battlecruiser. Read their abilities, think of how they can mesh together, and you can see for yourself what kind of destruction this trio can wreak upon their enemies.

When I play advent I try and play to their strengths which are the extra fighter/bomber in their carriers and culture boosts.  I don't really play online and go very defensive which this works well for offline.  If I see the computer going heavy carriers make only fighters to tear their fighters up.  I agree with InfiniteVoid by going very diverse and don't just mass alot of the same thing.  It seems to work very well for the most part if you play offline vs computers doing that.

Actually, getting drain anti-matter and illuminators is a good combo.  Illuminators are great firepower, and disciples make excellent support, disabling anti-matter abilities that can give illuminators a hard time.  Great against carriers, and really gives Advent a nice alternative to just rushing to get their own fighters out to counter enemy fighters.  Doesnt hurt that you're well on your way to repulsion, either...

You'll probably want to bring out the Halcyon and Revelation as well.  Advent are probably the only faction where your first five caps are likely to be one of each.  They each bring something very unique and useful to the fleet overall.
