== Summary ==
The Enyo is an assault frigate best suited to attacking ships larger than itself.  Its blaster weapons platform sports enough DPS potential to rival many properly fitted T1 cruisers.  It’s strong tank consists of its low signature radius, high resistances, and adequate capacitor specifications to run an active repair module.  Utilizing blasters at close orbit makes the boat very difficult to kill by battle cruisers or battleships without multiple neutralizers or dual webs.  This makes the ship ideal for working in tandem with the fleet’s fragile interceptors, replacing their points before they go down or allow them to get safe.  It also works well as an anti support harassment ship, screaming across the battlefield to tackle that scimitar or Blackbird kiting at 60 km.  This forces the other ship to warp off, the enemy fleet to split weapons fire, or the unlucky pilot to loose their ship. <br><br>
 
The Enyo is not without its limitations.  Small blasters are notorious for being ineffective against frigates without web support.  The two midslot layout means it can only fit a propulsion module and either a scram or web, making proper tackling of other frigates difficult at best.  It is also one of the slowest assault ships.  A high skill pilot with an afterburner will have troubles getting the ship over 850 m/s without the use of low slot propulsion modules (significantly hurting the tank), or utilizing a MWD - meaning other frigates will be able to dictate range once scrams are applied.<br><br>
 
PVP aside, the ship can easily breeze through level I, II, and the vast majority of Level III combat missions.  Its high DPS potential and small signature radius means that a patient pilot can even run level IV’s solo (abet very slowly).  It is because of this that the Enyo has found some use as a high sec mission ninja: able to complete looting, flipping, and ganking duties without ever leaving grid.
 
 
 
==Skills==
 
The Ship Description gives a good starting point: <br><br>
 
* Core Competency - Standard [Certificate] <br>
 
* Armor Tanking - Standard [Certificate] <br>
 
* Advanced Blaster Turrets - Standard [Certificate] <br>
 
 
 
 
 
To get the most of out of this hull you will require a few more skill sets:<br><br>
 
 
 
* Core Capacitor - Improved [Certificate] - Cap is part of an active armor tank<br>
 
* Turret Control - Improved [Certificate] - Increase effective DPS from blasters<br>
 
* High Velocity Helmsmen - Standard [Certificate] - Allows for afterburner or Microwarp drive use.<br><br>
 
 
 
 
 
There are also a good handfull of other skills that will help out quite a bit:<br><br>
 
 
 
* Assult Ships IV <br><br>
 
 
 
* Ellectronics V - Fitting skill for maximum CPU<br>
 
* Engineering V - Fitting skill for maximum powergrid<br>
 
* Armor Compensations skills IV - EM, Thermal, Kenetic, Explosive - Critical to your tanking modules<br>
 
* Propulsion Jamming IV - Lowers cap usage of warp scramblers<br>
 
* Advanced Weapon Upgrades III or IV - Allows you to squeeze certain fits into place<br>
 
* Energy Emission Systems III - Allows the use of T2 Small nosferatu<br>
 
* Jurry Rigging III - Allows for the use of cap controll circuts and ancillary current routers<br>
 
* Hybrid Weapon Rigging III or IV - Allows for the use of hybrid weapon rigs and minimized the penalty to powergrid.<br>
 
  
==Fitting==
+
The '''Enyo''' is the Gallente turret [[Frigates#Assault Frigates|assault frigate]], counterpart of the drone-bonused [[Ishkur]]. Its massive bonus to hybrid turret damage, coupled with the power of blasters, gives it a very high DPS ceiling when fitted for point-blank combat, surpassing some Tech 1 [[cruisers]]; its range and tracking bonuses help to apply that damage. A relatively balanced layout of mid (3) and low (4) slots opens up a range of fitting possibilities.
Enyo's are fairly easy to fit.  Pick four blasters that will fit with your fitting skills, add a nosferatu, Afterburner or MWD, Scream (Or Web if your buddy is bringing a scram), and then your low slots.<br><br>  Low slots is where it gets a little tricky.  To get the most out of an enyo use a small armor repper.  A solid choice is to plug your Explosive hole with either an Energized Reactive plate or Explosive Armor hardener, Add a another resistance plate (the ones that don't require CPU), and then it is up to you whether you want to load a damage control unit or magnetic field stabilizer.<br><br>  Try not to put armor rigs or armor plates on the Enyo.  You will drop its speed down to below that of some cruisers, meaning you will be neither able to close orbit while your MWD is off, or stay alive while webbed with your AB on.<br><br>
 
  
=== Suicide Fits Don't Work ===
+
The Enyo can be used in PvP solo, or in fleets. It can form part of a fast-moving frigate fleet, or alongside larger ships it can offer mobile DPS and, though it isn't as fast as an interceptor, some screening capabilities. In PvE combat it has niche applications as a tool for tackling missions and sites in dangerous space, for running some types of abyssal deadspace. It can also be used as a high-sec mission ninja, able to loot, flip, and gank without ever leaving the grid.
  
Below are some examples of how to tailor fit your enyo to the situation you will be going into.  I recomend starting with the starter Enyo.  It has easy fitting requirements and lets you get a feel for it.  That ship will also allow you to swap the Afterburner for a Named Microwarp drive in station without having to re-tool the entire thing.  So keep one in your cargo hold. <br><br> The last fit is an example of the Suicide Enyo.  It functions on the "I'm Assuming I will never be primaried" principal of fighting.  There are some people out there that swear by the idea of a suicide enyo, which is one that is fit for pure speed and dps.  It is a hold over fromt the pre-nano nerf style of combat.  You will see the kill boards littered with their loss mails and have very few genuine kills outside of solo - one on one - ganks.  That style of play is baised on "Who Locked Who" first and is an expensive gamble with a 25 million isk ship. <br><br>
+
Among the other turret assault frigates, the [[Harpy]] can achieve higher railgun ranges or more flexible blaster ranges, and has more innate survivability, while the [[Wolf]] and [[Retribution]] have more low slots for damage, mobility, or armor-tanking together with selectable damage (Wolf) or the convenience of lasers (Retribution). The Enyo stands out for its short-range damage capability—provided it can close in and survive at short range in the first place.
  
=== A Note on Ammunition ===
+
== Skills ==
<br>
 
Enyo's are blaster boats.  As with what they will be fighting you need to bring three types of ammunition at all times.<br>
 
* Void - For fighting larger ships. <br>
 
* Anti Matter / Faction Anti Matter - For shooting Drones / Frigates. <br>
 
* Null, to shoot at kiting frigates that web you.  In those situations Null is the only chance you have to fight back. <br>

Given the hull's expense, it is worth having and using Tech 2 hybrid turrets to bring out the full power of the ship's bonuses, and it is worth being able to fit a Tech 2 armour tank to increase survivability.

The single-fanged Enyo sports good firepower capability, a missile hardpoint and some extremely strong armor plating, making it one of the best support frigates out there. Ideal for use as point ships to draw enemy fire from more vulnerable friendlies.

Developer: Roden Shipyards

Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tend to favor missiles over drones and their ships generally possess stronger armor. Their electronics capacity, however, tends to be weaker than ships from their competitors.

Summary

The Enyo is the Gallente turret assault frigate, counterpart of the drone-bonused Ishkur. Its massive bonus to hybrid turret damage, coupled with the power of blasters, gives it a very high DPS ceiling when fitted for point-blank combat, surpassing some Tech 1 cruisers; its range and tracking bonuses help to apply that damage. A relatively balanced layout of mid (3) and low (4) slots opens up a range of fitting possibilities.

The Enyo can be used in PvP solo, or in fleets. It can form part of a fast-moving frigate fleet, or alongside larger ships it can offer mobile DPS and, though it isn't as fast as an interceptor, some screening capabilities. In PvE combat it has niche applications as a tool for tackling missions and sites in dangerous space, for running some types of abyssal deadspace. It can also be used as a high-sec mission ninja, able to loot, flip, and gank without ever leaving the grid.

Among the other turret assault frigates, the Harpy can achieve higher railgun ranges or more flexible blaster ranges, and has more innate survivability, while the Wolf and Retribution have more low slots for damage, mobility, or armor-tanking together with selectable damage (Wolf) or the convenience of lasers (Retribution). The Enyo stands out for its short-range damage capability—provided it can close in and survive at short range in the first place.

Skills

Like any Tech 2 ship, the Enyo deserves good general support skills and fitting skills. Gunnery support skills and navigation support skills are particularly important.

Given the hull's expense, it is worth having and using Tech 2 hybrid turrets to bring out the full power of the ship's bonuses, and it is worth being able to fit a Tech 2 armour tank to increase survivability. Unusually for a turret assault frigate, the Enyo has a (tiny) dronebay, and pilots will want to train drone skills—obviously important for Gallente ships anyway—to get a little extra DPS out of their drone.

Tactics

The Enyo is most typically armour-tanked for PvP, thanks to its slot layout: it has more low slots, and its 3 mid slots mean it can fit the trinity of propulsion module, scram or point, and web, or propulsion, scram/point, and another utility module, which is hard to pass up. For solo or very-small-gang contexts, a buffer hull tank, using Reinforced Bulkheads, can surprise opponents, though at the cost of agility.

Blaster-fitted Enyos must beware all kinds of range control: webs, neuts, and warp scramblers, if the ship is using an MWD rather than an afterburner or dual propulsion. In solo PvP, an Enyo pilot should also learn which ships are likely to be outright faster and able to kite pure and simple.

Smart manual piloting can really help in most types of combat: spiral in against medium and large turrets, sling-shot to pull in or break away from small kiters, and use bursts of straight-line speed to pull threatening drones out behind you so you can shoot them.

If flying in PvP alongside larger ships, the Enyo's raw DPS contribution is likely to be less vital, but the ship can serve as good secondary tackle, landing a more survivable point or scram on a target to back up friendly interceptors. The Enyo can also try to threaten enemy tackle, or to manoeuvre to get at enemy electronic warfare or logistics ships.
