==Summary==
== Summary ==
The '''Muninn''' is a durable and powerful ship that has become one of the mainline subcapital ships used in large-scale nullsec warfare. Like other Heavy Assault Cruisers, it is faster and nimbler than battlecruisers and battleships. Strong and fairly even Tech 2 shield resists plus the ability to fit an Assault Damage Control let it take a lot of burst damage. Since the Muninn mounts projectile turrets, pilots can swap between different types of ammo to target different enemy damage type weaknesses.  
''Summary about {{PAGENAME}}.''
 
== Skills ==
As a mid-sized Tech 2 ship, the Muninn deserves strong [[support skills]], demands strong [[fitting skills]], and is almost always armed with Tech 2 weapons.


These qualities together have made the Muninn a consistently popular ship for large, long-ranged PvP fleets, using artillery. Artillery's high alpha damage—the highest damage-per-shot potential of any turret type—lets a Muninn fleet one-shot enemy targets. This makes them difficult to counter with [[logistics]] ships, as they can sometimes delete targets before logistics ships can lock them up.
== Tactics ==
''No sub-article about {{PAGENAME}} roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''


The Muninn is not without its weaknesses. With only four mid slots, it cannot effectively fit tackle or utility modules ''and'' a strong shield tank at once. When fitted for range, the Muninn's artillery will be outranged by the very longest-ranged competitor turrets, railguns. It is also simply a more expensive and skill-point-intensive ship than some other ships used in this "sniping" fleet role, such as the [[Ferox]]. The Muninn therefore loses efficiency in very large fleets, where artillery volleys would result in significant overkill, the Muninn itself can be killed in one shot, and fights can expand beyond artillery range; in those situations, railgun-toting ships such as the [[Eagle]] and Ferox become more popular.
== Notes ==
In Norse mythology, Muninn is one of Odin's ravens; the [[Huginn]] Combat Recon ship is named for the other raven.


==Skills==
Prior to the 2022 HAC rebalancing, the Muninn was once an extremely common fleet doctrine for nullsec alliances. Shield tanked and fitted with artillery, the doctrine was both fast and hard hitting; with the high artillery alpha strike being able to chew through thick logi reps, the Muninn gained a reputation for being one of the most widely used fleet doctrines. Many have called the Muninn oppressive or overpowered.


As a mid-sized Tech 2 ship, the Muninn deserves strong [[support skills]], demands strong [[fitting skills]], and is almost always armed with Tech 2 weapons.
At the time of writing (November 2022), the Muninn's value as a medium-large fleet ship is uncertain, since missiles are less widely used at the large fleet scale. It is likely the Muninn may become a popular skirmish doctrine for smaller fleets or roaming gangs. The [[Sacrilege]] is the missile ship of choice for large-scale [[bloc warfare]] above the Muninn as the Sacrilege is both armor tanked and longer ranged than the Muninn. The Muninn is however now more popular than the [[Cerberus]] as a shield tanked missile ship for bloc warfare due to the Cerb's role being changed to an active shield tanked PvE and small gang PvP ship in the 2022 Uprising Patch. With the Muninn being changed from an artillery platform to a missile boat, the [[Tempest Fleet Issue]] has since taken the Muninn's place as the preeminent artillery platform in bloc warfare.
 
== Patch history ==
{{expansion past|
'''Version 22.02 -  Release 2025-03-12.1''' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-22-02 Patch Notes])


==Tactics==
''The warp speeds of all ships have been adjusted to bring them all together for similar sizes of ships.''


The Muninn is typically fitted with artillery and a shield tank, and used en masse, in coordinated fleets of [[Doctrines|doctrine]]-fitted ships with limited individual-pilot initiative.
* Warp speed reduced from 4.5 AU/s to 4.0 AU/s


The Muninn's bonuses give it lots of damage potential and projection power using autocannon, but it sees only limited use as a kiting or brawling ship in smaller-scale PvP. If it has to fit tackle and utility modules, it cannot fit a substantial shield tank; meanwhile, the 90-67-25-10 armor resistance profile is highly specialized and leaves a gaping resistance hole, and an armor tank limits the ship's mobility. A pilot able to fly the Muninn is also able to fly the faster [[Vagabond]], a quintessential kiting ship.
'''2024-11-26''' Version 22.02 Release 2024-11-26.1 [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-22-02 Patch Notes]
* 50% reduction in Microwarpdrive signature radius penalty Role Bonus added back


==Notes==
'''2022-11-08''' Version 20.10 [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-20-10#ships Patch notes] [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/uprising-expansion-now-live News: Uprising Expansion]
In Norse mythology, Muninn is one of Odin's ravens; the [[Huginn]] Combat Recon ship is named for the other raven.
* Heavy Assault Cruiser rebalance
*# Reduce heavy HAC dominance in fleet combat which has persisted since their 2017 balance pass.
*# Make room for other ship types to step into the spotlight, such as battleships.
*# Not nerf HACs into oblivion - find and retain healthy use-cases.
*# Maintain HAC identity as a high-damage / heavy tank ship option.
