Wraith Cruiser

## General

The Wraith Cruiser is the Umbra Cruiser, capable of nullifying chain effects. It has the Culling ability which allows it to jam enemy weapons once an enemy in range loses its defenses.

It has also been designed to counter Altairian technology, having shield bypass as well as a damage boost against Altairian ships.

## Strategy and Setup

### Advantages

The Wraith is the ultimate front-line brawler, possessing high base health, as well as high amounts of counter chain. Its damage boost against Altairian technology as well as shield bypass makes it brutally effective against Bastion Cruisers, due to their tendency to be shield heavy, as well as frequent usage of the Epsilon ECHO Cannon.

Its Culling hunting mode also capable of further enhancing its tanking ability by drastically decreasing the damage output of enemy weapons, especially for beams (due to Fire Disruption). It also can recover extra ablative armor in the process, restoring damage taken when it deals damage to the target enemy ship.

Lastly, it deals extra damage against cutters, taking them out quickly in a brawl. As an Umbra ship, it deals additional damage to Altairian ships as well.

### Disadvantages

Wraiths are also vulnerable to Tier 7 battleships which deal extra damage against cruisers in general.
