At the basic level Amarr ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defence and lots of lasers for damage with fewer 'exceptions to the rule' than in other races' line-ups. As a result ~~Amarrians~~ are sometimes said to be the simplest race to fly. There are some good candidates for 'breaking the mould' even for a new player (Punisher fitted with Autocannon turrets is a classic) but they are more skill intensive and often require cross-training. New pilots are likely best served by playing to the ~~Amarrian~~ formula until they know when and how to break the rules.

For PvP progression, there are countless possibilities, but the conventional roles are as follows. In frigate hulls, the Punisher is used for tackling, and the Crucifier for EW. In cruiser hulls, the Omen is very difficult to fit for damage dealing, so the Arbitrator is most often used for a mixed EW and DD role with tracking disruptors, neuts, and damage drones. In battlecruiser hulls, the Harbinger makes an excellent damage dealer. In battleship hulls, the Armageddon, Apocalypse, and Abaddon all have their uses. The Armageddon is used by pilots that do not wish to risk too much ISK with a short range pulse fit. The Apocalypse is used as a sniper (sometimes with a very weak tank to maximize damage potential). The Abaddon is used by those who can afford it, and it performs excellently in fleets with logi and tackling recon support.

For PvP progression, there are countless possibilities, but the conventional roles are as follows:

Pilots who want to specialize in Damage Dealing will follow the laser hulls from Punisher, to Omen, Harbinger, and the Amarr Battleships (all three are effective in different roles)breaking off towards T2 hulls at some point.

EWAR specialists will follow a different path from cruicifier into arbitators before moving into T2 ship training.

In frigate hulls, the Punisher is typically used for tackling, and the Crucifier for EW. In cruiser hulls, the Omen is very difficult to fit for damage dealing, so the Arbitrator is very popular. The Harbinger makes an excellent damage dealing battlecruiser. In battleship hulls, the Armageddon, Apocalypse, and Abaddon all have their uses.
