Summary: Reworked. I'm sure this can be improved further, but I'm also confident it's a clearer and fairer description of the ship and its uses.

==Summary==
The Enyo is an assault frigate best suited to attacking larger ships.  Its blaster weapons platform has enough potential DPS to rival and in some cases exceed some properly fitted T1 cruisers.  Its strong tank consists of its low signature radius, high resistances, and adequate capacitor specifications to run an active repair module.  Using blasters at close orbit makes the boat very difficult to kill by battlecruisers 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 allowing 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 lose their ship. <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 mean that a patient pilot can even run level IV’s solo (albeit 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.
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.
 
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.
