Abyssal Battlefield

This article is a stub. You can help the UniWiki by expanding it.

Abyssal Battlefields are the Abyssal sites for Capsuleer Day XXI. The sites come in four tiers and require special event filaments. The event filaments are manufactured by capsuleers using the blueprints and materials obtained from event sites like Desolate Collapsed Conduit (hacking) and Treacherous Collapsed Conduit (combat), the Abyssal hacking sites and the Abyssal sites themself.

The naming of the filaments functions similarly to the regular Abyssal filaments with the first part indicating the tier and the second part indicating the weather (Electric, Exotic, etc) having the same effects as regular filaments.

Time and space limits

• Only one filament is required to create the conduit to enter the Abyssal battlefields, regardless of whether one ship or two are entering.
• Every Abyssal deadspace pocket has a 30-minute time limit to kill the battleship and its cohorts that lie within, with a guaranteed ship and pod loss should the timer expire.
• To complete the first and only deadspace pocket, you must kill the commanding battleship to unlock the Origin Conduit.
• The boundary around the event battlefields appears with a blue graphical effect which becomes more obvious the closer you fly toward it. Unlike the red boundary in ordinary abyssal deadspace beyond which the player's ship will explode, this blue boundary will teleport the player to the opposite side of the arena.
• Unlike regular Abyss sites the event sites have only one weather type per tier.

Clouds

Like Abyssal deadspace, the event pockets may contain Abyssal clouds, listed below.

Anti-Tachyon cloud

Purple-ish cloud that provides the following effects to all ships inside:

• 100% ship inertia increase
• 67% ship speed decrease
• 100% signature radius decrease

Tachyon cloud

White cloud that provides the following effects to all ships inside:

• 100% ship inertia decrease
• 67% ship speed increase
• 100% signature radius increase

Sites

The sites come in 2 variants, either Triglavian or Drifter.

The Triglavian variant features a damaged Leshak and a scaling group of Igniting Swarmer frigates that target paint you while frequently attacking drones. The Leshak orbits at ~15 km at 380m/s with a web that scales in strength the closer you are to it. Tier 2+ filaments spawn Damaged Werpost sentries at the pocket edges that deal high omni DPS with a damage falloff past 70-80 km. They have low effective HP and die fast.

The Drifter variant features a damaged Drifter battleship and a smaller but more damaging scaling swarm of Awoken Preserver Sleepers. The Preservers neut 4 GJ/s each and regularly target drones, the battleship will fly away from you towards the edge of the abyssal pocket and can teleport to the other side if it crosses far enough. Tier 2+ filaments will spawn Damaged Restless Towers which deal high EM/Thermal turret damage every 10 seconds while also shooting Explosive/Kinetic cruise missiles. The turrets have a 70-80 km falloff, the missiles can hit you from much further away. Like the Werposts the towers have very little EHP and take very little effort to destroy.

Killing to Battleship is necessary for the Gate to open, regardless of any remaining Frigates still left on the field. Killing the Frigates will cause them to eventually respawn and continue to do so until the room is left.
