'''Maximum Velocity bonus (Dark):''' Enemies and player drones will only use the bonused attribute of "Maximum Velocity" when chasing. When in their desired range, they will use their normal, un-bonused "Orbit Velocity". Players, however, are able to control how much of their max velocity they are using, and thus can fully benefit from this bonus. | '''Maximum Velocity bonus (Dark):''' Enemies and player drones will only use the bonused attribute of "Maximum Velocity" when chasing.

'''Capacitor recharge time bonus (Electrical):''' This bonus effectively grants not a 50% bonus, but rather 100%, as it halves capacitor recharge time, thereby doubling the capacitor recharge rate. NPCs receive essentially no benefit from this bonus, but players are able to leverage the additional capacitor regen to great effect. | '''Capacitor recharge time bonus (Electrical):''' This bonus effectively grants not a 50% bonus, but rather 100%, as it halves capacitor recharge time, thereby doubling the capacitor recharge rate. NPCs receive essentially no benefit from this bonus, but players are able to leverage the additional capacitor regen to great effect. Ship fits for this tier can afford to run many more cap-hungry tank mods than usual and still have little problem, and as such Electrical is generally considered one of the easiest weathers. | ||

* Filament Cloud (orange): Penalty to Shield Booster boosting (-40%) and reduction to shield booster duration (-40%). If using a conventional (not Ancillary) shield booster, in effect this does not weaken your shield booster, but rather increases its capacitor cost per second by 66%. If you rely on a shield booster to survive, you should avoid entering these clouds. | * Filament Cloud (orange): Penalty to Shield Booster boosting (-40%) and reduction to shield booster duration (-40%).

* Bioluminescence Cloud (light blue): +300% Signature Radius (4.0x signature radius multiplier). Entering this cloud will make your ship an easier target to hit but it will also make all rats easier to hit. If fighting small but accurate enemies like Damaviks, this cloud can actually be helpful, and you can lure the rats into it. Large ships (like the Abyssal Overminds) will be able to hit you much more easy to hit as well - stay out of these clouds if you are speed-tanking a battleship room. | * Bioluminescence Cloud (light blue): +300% Signature Radius (4.0x signature radius multiplier).

* Tachyon Cloud (white): +300% Velocity (x4.0 velocity), -50% Inertia Modifier. Be ''very'' careful entering this cloud with an active [[Propulsion_equipment|MWD]], as the inertia reduction will cause you to accelerate ''very'' quickly (x4 velocity, x0.5 inertia, '''x8''' acceleration), potentially slingshotting you outside the pocket boundary for a very quick death. These clouds will also increase enemy velocities, causing them to either close range very quickly, or suddenly pull away. | * Tachyon Cloud (white): +300% Velocity (x4.0 velocity), -50% Inertia Modifier.

These clouds will also increase enemy velocities, causing them to either close range very quickly, or suddenly pull away. Drone-reliant ships should beware of these clouds as well since drones will struggle with damage application to enemies inside these clouds. | ||
{{expansion past|In September, 2020, the Tachyon Cloud was introduced, replacing the older Caustic Cloud. The Caustic Cloud applied a -80% penalty to local and remote Armor Repair modules, making it a death sentence for armor tanked ships. However, the cloud was very rarely seen.}} | {{expansion past|In September, 2020, the Tachyon Cloud was introduced, replacing the older Caustic Cloud.

Triglavian Towers: | Triglavian Towers: | ||
* Deviant Automata Suppressor: Damages all missiles, drones, and rogue drone frigates within its area of effect. The larger tower does about the same damage to drones as a single medium smartbomb; the smaller does more than double that. Flying into the range of this Suppressor can help you take out pirate drones. Watch out for your own drones. | * Deviant Automata Suppressor: Damages all missiles, drones, and rogue drone frigates within its area of effect.

Damage rate is fast enough to delete light missiles in its range extremely quickly. | ||

It helps your drones as well as your ship. | * Multibody Tracking Pylon: +60% (Medium-Range) or +80% (Short-Range) turret [[tracking]] bonus to all ships (including NPCs) in its area of effect. This can be helpful for fighting small, fast enemies. It helps your drones as well as your ship. The two variants of this pylon have the same area of effect scaling as the Suppressors - 15 KM for Short-Range and 40 KM for Medium-Range. | ||

Unlike in most other regions in EVE, Abyssal Deadspace NPCs have very clear naming patterns and will have either a prefix or suffix that states what special abilities they have. | Unlike in most other regions in EVE, Abyssal Deadspace NPCs have very clear naming patterns and will have either a prefix or suffix that states what special abilities they have. | ||
This makes target prioritization easier, which is extremely important in the Abyss: the general best strategy in most rooms is to start out by killing any EWAR that poses a threat to your ship. Depending on your fit, this can mean Neutralizers, Webs, Tracking/Guidance disruptors, or, if the pocket has battleships, Target Painters. | This makes target prioritization easier, which is extremely important in the Abyss: the general best strategy in most rooms is to start out by killing any EWAR that poses a threat to your ship.

You should also pay attention on whether dedicated remote repair ships are on grid; if you can't kill other frigates before repairs land, prioritize killing remote repairs first. After the dangerous EWAR and remote repair ships are dead, you can focus on the damage dealers in your preferred order. | You should also pay attention on whether dedicated remote repair ships are on grid; if you can't kill other frigates before repairs land, prioritize killing remote repairs first.
