Wave 4 Upgrades - Turbolasers

This is it, the final upgrade for Wave 4.  Gonna have to start thinking of other things to write about after this!

That is actually a lot of ships that can take a Turbolaser

On Whaling - Taking Down a Brace

The biggest ship on the board is usually the one worth the most points, and the first question a player should ask themselves upon seeing the setup in Armada is "how do I bring this down".  That being said, the biggest ships in Armada all have one thing in common - the Brace Token.  Furthermore, with the ISDII and MC80 both having access to defensive retrofit upgrades, ECM means that the Brace will almost certainly be available for your biggest hit of the round.  So how do we deal with this token and bring down the ISD or MC80 packing the biggest point windfall?

In this article I am going to be using "Whales" to refer to any Large ship.  Not to be confused with the standard Armada slang use to refer to MC80s only.  Also note that these strategies can be combined for more effective hunting.

This is it - the last group of upgrades we need to cover before Wave 2 is complete.  Let's get right to it.

Turbolaser Upgrades - Wave 1

Wave 1 gave us a relatively large number of Turbolaser upgrades, and a lot of ships to use them with.  In fact, the only two ships that couldn't run a Turbolaser upgrade were either variant of the Gladiator and the CR90B.  Meanwhile, the Victory Class Star Destroyer, Assault Frigate MkII, Nebulon B Frigate, and CR90A Corvette all could take the upgrades.

So lets take a look at what each one does, and see which ships, and which other upgrades, works best with each one.

This article is part of the Upgrades series.
