The Harbinger is the preferred Amarr battlecruiser, with considerably better performance than the [[Prophecy]]. The Harbinger is a well rounded battlecruiser; it doesn't have the legendary tank of the [[Drake]] or the firepower of the [[Hurricane]], but can be depended on to perform well in any role.

This battlecruiser is a shield tanked cruiser's nightmare, with the the ability to wield six heavy pulse lasers and still have the CPU and powergrid left over to fit a respectable tank allowing it to wreak havoc on the battlefield. The Harbinger, even with a large tank, ironically has the ability to be rather agile within engagements. Its large CPU and Powergrid gives it the ability to fit a 10MN Microwarpdrive and burn towards many targets that are out of range, while the 75m<sup>3</sup> drone bay and bandwidth allows the Harbinger to field either a full flight of medium drones or a full flight or light drones, depending on circumstances. This particular battlecruiser is a great incentive to train the Battlecruiser skill to at least IV. Lastly, the Harbinger has the ability to be fit either a full armor or shield tank.

Like many Amarr ships the Harbinger is not the easiest ship to fit, and much will be gained by training fitting skills to at least IV, and V is recommended. This particular battlecruiser is a great incentive to train the Battlecruiser skill to at least IV. Lastly, the Harbinger has the ability to be fit either a full armor or shield tank.


For [[Incursions]] the Harbinger is not ideal, but can serve as a starting point for trying them out and to use while training into a more suitable ship. See [[Minimum Incursion fits#Amarr ship progression|Amarr ship progression]] for more information on where to go from here.
