Omega Beam

Upon exiting Phase State, the Omega automatically charges up a beam that is 750 m wide and fires it directly forwards, regardless of whether an enemy is in range. The DPS listed here does not take firing cycle into account.

Omega Beam	I	II	III	IV	V
SPECIFICATIONS

Firing Time	1.00 s	1.25 s	1.50 s	1.75 s	2.00 s

Network Sync

When the Plexus Carrier or Nerve Carrier takes enough screen damage (in terms of Phase Energy lost when not in Phase State), it projects the Phase Field for a moderate duration. A short cooldown is also initiated when the field is generated, after which the damage counter is allowed to reaccumulate.

Network Sync	I	II	III
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage Required	3,500	4,000	4,500
Duration	8 s
Support	Phase Field
Cooldown	4 s

Laser Array

When 3 or more enemy ships are within the targeting arc of the Plexus Carrier, a long-range beam weapon is activated that targets different enemies unless a primary target is in range (in which case all three beams focus on the same target). Note that each beam carries the listed DPS.

Laser Array (PL)	I	II	III	IV	V
SPECIFICATIONS
DPS	575	700	825	950	1,075
Range	0-11,000 m
Module Damage	-100%

A very similar version is available to the Nerve Carrier.

The effects last until 3 seconds after the condition is no longer satisfied.

Tier 8 Pharmakon Overdrives

Tier 8 Phase State

Tier 8 Pharmakon hulls such as the Operator, other than the Zettabyte Dreadnought, receive a bonus to forward, strafe and turning speed when in Phase State. This is in addition to the effects of Basic Phase State.

Tier 8 (Phase State)	I
SPECIFICATIONS
Speed	+200%
Turning	+200%
Strafe	+200%

Rupture (Exiting Phase State)

Upon exiting Phase State, the Operator instantly fires a burst of weapon projectiles, with a massive damage boost.

More precisely, the Firing Cycle of each equipped weapon is instantly set to the firing phase when the overdrive is activated. For the duration of the overdrive, the charge and reload times are both reduced by 1 second, given that the minimum charge time is 0.4 seconds and the minimum reload time is 0.2 seconds, and the damage boost, aka "DPS Boost", is applied (despite its name, it does not account for the increased fire rate so the real boost in DPS may be greater than this value). If the weapon was previously in the charging phase with remaining duration less than 1 second, an additional projectile may be fired during the firing phase when the overdrive is activated, extending that firing phase by 0.2 seconds. Due to how the game handles changes to the Firing Cycle, the charge and reload times are functionally unaffected for values at or above the duration of the overdrive, which is 2.0 seconds.

Rupture	I	II	III
SPECIFICATIONS
Duration	2 s
DPS	+500%	+525%	+550%

Fracture

Upon exiting Phase State, the Vector fires a homing projectile that deals Plasma damage and can ricochet across multiple enemies. If there are no enemies in weapon range, the projectile is fired blindly from the front of the hull instead.

With bonus health damage and ablative recovery suppression, it is especially devastating against Umbra hulls.

Fracture	I	II	III
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage	4,000	5,000	7,000
Weapon Speed	5,000 m/s
Projectile Range	9,000 m
Ricochet	3
Ricochet Per Target	2
Ricochet Detection Range	3,500 m
Max Ricochet Angle	360 deg
Ricochet Projectile Range	4,000 m
Ricochet Damage Modifier	100%
Health Damage	+25%
Ablative Recovery	-50%
Ablative Suppression Duration	10 s
Traits	Homing, Pass Through

Zettabyte Phase State

The Zettabyte Dreadnought receives a bonus to forward, strafe, turning speed as well as acceleration when in Phase State. This is in addition to the effects of Basic Phase State.

Zettabyte (Phase State)	I
SPECIFICATIONS
Speed	+200%
Strafe	+200%
Turning	+39.0 deg/s
Acceleration	+580 m/s2

Giga-Pulse

When the Zettabyte Dreadnought takes enough screen damage (in terms of Phase Energy lost when not in Phase State), it emits a huge shockwave that deals modest DPS. A huge bonus to DoT Stacks is also applied for a brief moment (around 1 second).

Giga-Pulse	I	II	III
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage Required	10,000	15,000	20,000
Damage	1,000	1,500	2,000
AoE Radius	8,000 m
Duration	1.0 s
DoT Stacks	+1,000

Stutter Salvo

When the Zettabyte Dreadnought enters Phase State, it fires a homing torpedo that explodes with huge AoE and slows enemies caught in the blast.

Stutter Salvo	I	II	III	IV	V	VI
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage	3,000	4,000	5,000	6,000
Stasis Potency	25%
Stasis Duration	3.8 s
Range	0-12,000 m
Projectile Range	14,000 m
Speed	3,000 m/s
AoE Radius	6,000 m
Traits	Homing

Defrag

Upon exiting Phase State, the Monitor emits a shockwave centered on itself (regardless of whether any enemies are in range), damaging all enemies within. After 1 second, another shockwave is emitted for 2x the damage, then yet another one after 1 second for 4x the initial damage.

With bonus health damage, it is extra effective against Umbra hulls.

Defrag	I
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage	400
Damage	800
Damage	1,600
Range	0-5,500 m
AoE Radius	5,500 m
Health Damage	+25%

Note: If the fleet enters Phase State before the duration ends, the remaining shockwaves will still fire.

Ancillary Routine

When the Monitor takes enough screen damage (in terms of Phase Energy lost when not in Phase State), it launches several drones that have a large amount of health and apply Ablative Suppression, but otherwise do very little damage. If the drones are destroyed, they can be relaunched for the duration of the overdrive.

The damage counter cannot be refilled until after the overdrive ends.

Ancillary Routine	I
SPECIFICATIONS
Damage Required	2,000
Duration	15 s
Drone Count	2
DPS	150
Flight Time	15 s
Scramble	6,000 m
Speed	1,800 m/s
Health	10,000
Ablative Recovery	-50%
Ablative Suppression Duration	10 s

Trivia

• The Inhibitor Battlecruiser's Exiting Phase State overdrive had its Blight resistance reduced to 4% per level in the early May 2019 update. Apparently, the bonuses stack additively with existing screen resistances; the old values enabled the Blight Screen to reach over 100% resistance to Blight Damage.
• Omega Beam is the first Pharmakon overdrive with a non-generic name.
• The Phasing revamp during early November 2019 changed the duration of various Exiting Phase State overdrives.
• The Phasing revamp in early November 2019 changed the activation condition of Network Sync to be based on Phase Energy instead of Screen Energy.
• The Exiting Phase State overdrive for the Operator is named as "Rupture" in the detailed stat block.
• When originally released, Rupture's minimum charge time was zero, which resulted in the Nova Driver being able to fire 5 times per second, dealing ridiculous amounts of damage. This was changed in the update of early December 2019, such that it could only fire 1.2 times per second. It was nerfed again when Horde Cannon was released, with the minimum reload time set to 0.4 seconds. However, this was later reverted to pre-Horde Cannon values.
• The Fracture overdrive originally had a bug which allowed its projectiles to travel very far if the target dies midway. This was fixed in the late February 2020 downtime.
• Stutter Salvo is the first overdrive that is triggered upon entering Phase State.
• The Laser Array overdrive received a -100% modifier to module damage as part of the base rebalance in early August 2021.
  • However, this resulted in a bug where negative damage is dealt to modules, increasing their health beyond maximum. This was fixed during the mid-September 2021 downtime.
