Review
Ahab is a pretty interesting ship for PVP because it can increase the cooldown of enemy skills and knock them back to the other side of the battlefield - basically countering any rush teams.
As for PVE, you can use it in Shadow Palace, where enemy skills are deadly, and also it's commonly used in Raid/Coop Raid. Still, Chorus had powercrept it after it was released in KR.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- counter to rush teams,
- can increase enemies' cooldown which is useful in some PVE content.
Cons
- usage in PVE is limited to stages with deadly enemy skills,
- being an Aux ship, it has lower health and siege teams love meeting it in PVP.

Review
Abraham is a mech only ship that has a really strong passive that provides mechs 3% HP/s, but suffers from being an SR Auxiliary ship. In PVP, Abraham could make your mech/siege frontlines extremely tanky, but it struggles against any healing debuffs, especially healing reflux.
Has niche uses in dimension trimming stages thanks to its ability to keep frontlines alive.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- provides your Mech employees with ridiculous healing.
- Ultimate will heal mechs to full HP
Cons
- Healing debuffs are quite common in PVP
- Terrible defensive stats
- First skill has low impact

Adv. Caliburn Pierce
Fires a deadly ion condenser at enemies, levitating them with Knockback. Decreases affected enemies' Incoming Healing by 100% for 15 seconds.
Max upgrade bonus: HP recovery -100%

Review
Albion is a universal ship that works with counters and soldiers, but is especially effective with rush comps thanks to the unique Stealth buff it grants - the buff allows your units to directly attack the backline (and ship) ignoring the frontline. Uses Ship Charge as a unique material.
It's currently the go-to PVP ship in KR for rush comps.
To unlock the recipe to craft Albion, you need to clear Challenge Mode Act 3.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- stealth buff is perfect for rush comps and allows you to use other openers than Replacer Bishop.
Cons
- locked behind CM Act 3, so it's hard to get for newer players.

MK2 is a top-tier ship for almost any team in both PVE and PVP. The passive SPD and ASPD on deploy make some teams on specific PVE stages work when they shouldn't normally, and its first skill heals up a small area while buffing haste. But the real deal here is the second skill - while the soldiers on their own aren't extremely strong, the fact that summons an army really tends to disrupt enemies in both PVE and PVP.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- strong buff on deploy on the passive skill that works on any team,
- the summoned soldiers make Replacer King even more OP.
Cons
- None.
Luxury Drive

Review
Chorus is a great PVE ship that replaces Kamiizumi in Raids, but in other PVE modes, it's still inferior to it.
In PVP while the ship on paper looks like good pair for the Elysium faction, Maestro still prefers using other ships that give her and her faction more important buffs than EVA.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- pretty decent passive,
Cons
- the skills are pretty niche.

Review
The best Mech ship in the game. I don't know what the devs were thinking when they made this ship, because damn, everything about this ship is what makes many Mechs so unfair. The passive and both skills give extreme DPS and bulk increases to Mechs, more than any other ship does to any unit type.
Note that you need to level Coffin to 100 before being able to craft it.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Mechs love Coffin-6,
- well-timed special on certain employees (like Janus) allows you to basically one-shot enemies.
Cons
- only for Mechas, so if you decide to build Coffin-6 be aware that the ship won't help you in other types of teams.

The best general PVE ship in the game and the first SSR ship you should craft, but you will need to finish EP5 normal campaign to unlock the recipe. Its versatile kit also makes it a great PVP ship.
Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
- can't buff soldiers.

Review
Enterprise Quad is a good offensive ship for teams revolving around Counter Units as it's skill packs a punch damage wise and skill 2 in particular is quite useful in PVP for gathering opponents together and then delaying their skills with -20% skill haste.
In britra raid with right setup and timing you can use Quad to cancel both its skills at phase change.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- High damage from ship skills.
- Strong enemy gathering and skill haste debuff.
Cons
- most Counter team compositions will include Soldier/Mech units which will not get buffed.
Infantry Combat Support

Review
While on paper this ship looks like an ideal ship for Soldiers, in reality, it's really underwhelming.
In PVE you mostly use Counter teams or Counter/Soldier hybrid teams and for those Lake/Kamii is way stronger.
As for PVP, while full Soldier teams are quite good in low/mid elo in PVP, in high elo you have to use hybrid teams to stay competitive - since there are no Awakened Soldiers you're putting yourself at a huge disadvantage.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- passive is perfect for soldiers.
Cons
- pure soldier teams aren't really meta in Counter Side.
Risk Mitigation Tactic

Review
The first ship that doesn't look like a pile of scraps. You will receive it from a selector after finishing a set of early-game missions - be sure to pick this one instead of Abraham, because it's a universal ship that will carry you in the early PVE and PVP content.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- great starter ship.
Cons
- but it's a starter ship. Once you craft your first SSR ship it will slowly fade into being used as adispatch ship.
Asset Protection Tactic

GAT passive is a stronger version of Lake Superior one and even its skills are pretty similar - they focus on survivalibity and control. The ship can be used in PVE too, but its main purpose is PVP.
Recently it became really popular in SEA ranked PVP and dethroned Lake.

Pros
- makes your employee tankier with its passive,
- great ultimate skill that can turn the tide of battle if timed right.

- none

Gleipnir: Pod Type is a PVP-focused ship for counters. It gives a lot of flat EVA to counters, which is especially potent on low base evasion units like most defenders and backlines. The debuff it applies are also pretty strong against any teams, making Pod Type a very strong pick for counter teams in PVP.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Massive flat EVA boost to counters,
- Strong ASPD debuff to stall against high DPS units
- Fast skill recharge
Cons
- Skills can't damage air units,
- pretty useless in PVE.

Kamiizumi is a offensive ship that works really well in both PVP and PVE, thanks to its universal CRIT and Crit DMG buff, it can be used in any team comps granting allied units a significant DPS boost, although not so preferred for mechs. The skill can be timed to remove an important buff, or used as a strong grouping for backline units.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Rare Crit/Crit Dmg buffs, providing universal DPS boost
- Very strong special skill can be used for gather/ buff removal
Cons
- niche in endgame content,
- Strong pushback on Ultimate is not always helpful

Review
It makes all your units tankier by decreasing the damage they take and by granting a shield that also makes them immune to hitstun. On top of that Lake can summon walls that herd your enemies to the center of the battlefield, forcing the pesky backline from their safety.
Yeah, it's broken in PVP but also in PVE for harder stages, where survivability of your units is an issue.
For more than a year the ship was considered the best in PVP in KR, but with the release of Albion and MK2 it was dethroned. It's still great, but it's not longer banned constantly in KR.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- makes your unit tanky as hell,
- one of the best ultimate skills in the game for PVP.
Cons
- good for defensive playstyle only in PVP,
- once your resolve your team survivability issues in PVE, it becomes useless and it's better to use ships that help your team offensive power.

Review
First mecha/soldier hybrid ship that created a new way of playing combined with Evolved-1 and Scavengers. But it's not limited to hybrid teams and you can use him with soldiers only too (Jane Doe and Veronica especially fit well with the passive).
Still, to unlock the recipe you need to clear Dive 50 which is pretty damn hard to do.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- one of the best ships for Soldier and Soldier hybrid teams,
- the ultimate skill can pull enemy backline to your ship and slaughter them.
Cons
- well... sometimes you pull not what you wanted and this may cost you the game,
- the pull is buggy and sometimes doesn't even pull anything.

New Detroit is a ship that can be used in both PVP (but only for Striker rush comps) and PVE.
It shines in Shadow Palace and Danger Close due to his ultimate skill that decreases Defense by 50% (DC bosses have high DEF), but is rarely used in other content.
You will need to craft New Ohio first to unlock the recipe.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- the DEF break on ultimate is perfect for Danger Close,
- your strikers will love the passive bonuses the ship provides.
Cons
- in PVP it's only good with striker comps.

New Ohio is mainly a PVP ship that was super annoying to fight against because of the Silence attached to its special. it also sees moderate use in PVE for its ability to skill seal enemies with strong skills, although this is not really necessary nowadays.

Cons
- requires good timing to use the skill or it will be wasted.

A ship that's commonly used in Danger Close due to both of his skills being useful there.
The ult decreases Def of the boss by 50% for 10 seconds which allows you to burst it down during dps check phases, and the Blockade counts as a unit for the proximity checks the boss is doing from time to time.
For some bosses, it's even better than New Detroit, so if you care about DC do build him.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- two really useful skills for Danger Close,
- easy to level up and max because it's low rarity.
Cons
- if you make a mistake in Danger Close it will explode instantly.

Stellar is a really good early game ship. It provides a decent ASPD buff for ally units, while having two skills that can help increase ally units' survivability by stunning enemy units and reducing their ASPD greatly. It is also a low rarity ship, making it extremely easy to max.
It eventually falls off in late game, because SSR ships are simply so much better.

Pros
- Good buffs for ally units
- Helps to negate incoming damage by stunning or debuffing enemy units through its skills
Cons
- squishy, really squishy

Tempest is an extremely strong ship with a very well-balanced kit.
Its passive is incredibly relevant for backline survivability, its first skill can be used for redirecting dangerous enemy attacks, and its second skill provides an extremely strong damage boost to your own units.
The 6 Wardens summoned on the second skill also deal decent damage and have good knockback, and can even help reduce the damage taken by other allied units through valid hit absorption.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- CRIT DMG RES Passive greatly enhances unit survivability
- First Skill is extremely useful for redirecting enemy attacks, while also being on a really short cooldown
- Second Skill provides a great boost to damage, with DMG Taken debuffs applied to enemies and the summoned Wardens having decent damage and good knockback
Cons
- No cons at all for PVP, and it only loses in PVE to other ships that are fully focused on enhancing damage output.

Same as Normandy, Undercontrol is your starter 'ship.' You should upgrade it to 4/5/6 stars because it's cheaper to use it as your second team's ship over leveling up Coffin (the third ship you will receive for free).
