T14 Garrison Strategy Guide

Captains, welcome to the official T14 Garrison Strategy Guide. This guide aims to give you some insights on target mechanics for the new Garrison hull, the Snapjaw. Learn about your enemies, and find general target info to help you in battle. Good luck!

Frigid Outpost

Driven from their home base by the Scourge and the looming threat of the Black Water, the Draconians were forced to reactivate long-abandoned outposts in the far North. With limited tech to prevent their turret systems from freezing solid, they’ve resorted to an archaic solution - thawing defenses with fire. The Reavers see this vulnerability as the perfect opportunity to strike.

Tier 14 Garrison Hull: Snapjaw

The Snapjaw is equipped with 8 weapon slots, 6 armor slots, 6 special slots, 2 heavy armor slots which are unlocked at U3 and X1, and 1 CIC slot which is unlocked at U1.
 
The Snapjaw's main weapon, the Sunder Mortar, fires at medium range, dealing Explosive damage. The Mortar is splash based so look for strategic positioning to splash down clusters of enemy turrets.

Using the Built-in Tidebinder Mortar

The Snapjaw has a built-in Mortar called the Tidebinder, which is visualized with a blue range arc. The Tidebinder greatly slows enemy ships, and reduces reload for all enemies. It’s built with a narrow and long range arc, to allow for accuracy when attempting to prevent the Firebreather hulls from thawing out the Frostbite Rocket turret. (more details on this below)

Glossary

Range definitions are relative to the primary season hull. Thus what is short for one hull might be considered medium for another, the goal is to convey easily to players which turrets/ships they can outrange and which turrets/ships may be firing on you from a considerable distance away.

• Very Short = Easily out-ranged.
• Short = Out-rangeable.
• Medium = At least the same range as the player but generally not much more.
• High = Will easily outrange the player hull.
• Very High = Will cover a significant portion of the target.
   
  If the arc is not specified then it has a 360 degree arc.
