The Defender Craft or formally known as "Defender" is the first craft you can research for the [[Hangar]]. This is essentially just a tankier and slower [[Interceptor Craft]]. This is also considered the best damage dealing Craft because of its stats. This Craft is also buffed (Increase In Level) by researching [[Defender]].

==Strategy==
  
⚫

−
===Spamming [[File:Defender8.png]]:===
  
−  
−
This strategy is very common and quite effective. This strategy involves targeting key rooms on the enemy ship like the [[Anti Craft Laser]] and locking them down. Locking them down means making a room unrepairable because of the continuous damage being done to the room. This also does a good job of killing repair crew.

===Lockdown Paired With [[File:Corsair8.png]]:===
  
−  
−
This strategy is the same as the above mentioned strategy but it involves launching a [[Corsair]] Craft after the shields go down to stun lock a room. This is usually rooms like the [[Teleport]] or [[Hangar]] that usually have many strong repair crew guarding it.

===Lockdown Paired With [[File:Firehawk8.png]]:===
  
−  
−
This strategy is also like the first strategy but it kills repair crew much faster. You want to launch a mix of [[Firehawk]]s and Defenders to target medium-large rooms like the [[Reactor]]. The fire and defender lasers will usually lockdown the room and kill all the repair crew inside it.

Usage

Craft Combos

Defender Spam [DPS][Mid-End Game] Defender8

The Defender Spam combo is one of the most common combos players use. One of the reasons being the high DPS output of the Defender Craft being able to lockdown rooms.

Lockdown Paired With Fire is another combo players use. With the added Firehawk Craft, locking down a room will be much easier. The Fire Damage from the Firehawk Craft will cause area denial on the room. The Fire will continuously damage the room and crew, preventing a full repair of the room for an extra 1-2 seconds. The most ideal launch pattern for this combo would be 1-2x Firehawk Craft and 3-4x Defender Craft.

Lockdown Paired With EMP [DPS/Support][Mid-End Game] Defender8 + Corsair8

Similarly, pairing Defenders with Corsair Craft improves lockdown ability. With a high enough level Corsair Craft, target rooms can be adequately stunned.
