Relisk Cruiser

## Description

Relisk Cruiser is an NPR ship belonging to the Relisk. Relisk Cruisers appear to be a conglomeration of two Relisk Fighters merged into a heavy cruiser. Like Relisk Fighters, Cruisers are adorned in bright, reflective, gold-colored plates that have a smooth, ornate geometry with sharp edges. On their top half, they feature a forward, acid-green cockpit with one pair of forward-curved wings - with both features being vertically mirrored about their midsection.

## Combat and Strategy

In general, the Relisk are known for both their teleportation and for applying copious amounts of Disruption to targets.

* For Primary Weapons, the Relisk use variants of the Relisk Pulse - a high damage, mediocre-speed Laser that applies disruption upon a successful hit.
* For Secondary Weapons, the Relisk are known for their Relisk Orbs - one of the longest-range Locking weapons in the game, capable of teleporting great distances after a short delay to apply disruptions and disorient targets.
* For Utilities, Relisk Cruisers are capable of using a variety of portal-based weaponry, such as the Ambush Portal and Forward Portal, in order to confuse and ambush targets. Said portals are capable of both teleporting all ships (including the player) as well as teleporting incoming projectiles.
* For Mines, the Relisk feature a Relisk Mine - an Energy-Based version of the Teleport Mine that uses laser damage to apply disruption.
* For Large Weapons, the Relisk feature the Relisk Disruptor Bomb, which is capable of applying extremely long durations of disruption to all ships in the sector - which the Relisk are observed to do quite frequently.
* Their Relisk Shield is a decent-capacity, low-recharge shield that has a resistance to laser damage at the cost of being more vulnerable to Explosive Damage - making their own shield ideal to use against them.

As the Relisk are capable of harassing at great ranges, it is recommended to get in close with explosive weapons, such as with the Carnivore Torpedo, Proximity Blast, or Piranha Rocket. While this will not always prevent disruption from being applied to the user, it can shorten the amount of time the Relisk have to apply more disruption to the player.

For defenses, it is recommended that the player make use of anti-lock items like Stealth, Energy Reflector Bubble, Shield Bubble, Decoy, or Scrambler, as these can prevent relisk orbs and relisk mines from building up large amounts of disruption, which can hinder the player's damage output - allowing the Relisk to swarm the player.

Placing mines with explosive damage, such as the HI Mine, outside the entrance to their Relisk Temple is a good way to severely weaken, if not outright kill, incoming Relisk.

As Relisk gear is primarily energy-based, draining the Relisks' Energy through weapons such as the Leech Torpedo can severely hinder their ability to spam their weaponry whilst providing boosted explosive damage.

Due to their large size, Relisk Cruisers are more easily hindered by mines and high-damage explosive dumbfires, such as Javelin Torpedo Storms.
