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

The Ship Description gives a good starting point:

  • Core Competency - Standard [Certificate]
  • Armor Tanking - Standard [Certificate]
  • Advanced Blaster Turrets - Standard [Certificate]


To get the most of out of this hull you will require a few more skill sets:

  • Core Capacitor - Improved [Certificate] - Cap is part of an active armor tank
  • Turret Control - Improved [Certificate] - Increase effective DPS from blasters
  • High Velocity Helmsmen - Standard [Certificate] - Allows for Afterburner or Microwarpdrive use.


There is also a good handful of other skills that will help out quite a bit:

Tactics

If you're not familiar with tackling, read up on it and try out a Tristan to get a feel for 'survival' or heavy tackling before making the skill investment and training time for this hull.

  1. Manual Flying:
    • Manual flight is an important factor in keeping an Enyo alive. Learn how to spiral, use it, and abuse it. That's where you utilize double clicking in space to change your direction in relation to your target ship. Add your Angular Velocity to your overview tab and learn to keep that number up as high as possible when fighting ships larger than you. Keep the angular up on approach, watch it while you are orbiting close, and if you're webbed, you will have to manually fly for certain to prevent from being popped by those medium guns if the ship can push range on you. With proper manual flying an AB Enyo can survive a Cynabal trying to kite and kill it. And with enough luck and good timing, that same Enyo can get an overheated scram on the Cynabal to dive in for the kill. That's what manual flying can do for you.
  2. Chase your own interceptors:
    • The Enyo's primary duty is that of secondary tackle. Become good friends with an interceptor pilot you fly with regularly and work as a team to lock down the enemy support ships. The cepter will dive in for the initial tackle and scram to shut down their MWD and you mosy on in behind him so he can get out of harm's way or dive in after the next support ship causing issues out at range. Your boat is strong enough to survive a whole battle pinning down a cruiser or battle cruiser by yourself. You might even be able to kill it if it's buffer tanked or has poor cap stability.
  3. Shoot drones first:
    • The Enyo's nemesis and most constant threat is the drone. More than any other module or weapon systems drones can slowly and effectively grind the best tanked Enyos into space rubble. Fit your anti-matter and keep your speed up to get the drones to trail behind you a bit. Within two or three shots you should be able to kill any drone class (small, medium or large) thanks to the large alpha of your blasters, you just have to wait for the drone angular to drop. If you are MWD fit, with it off and you're holding close orbit, you will not be able to use Void for this task and must switch to anti-matter to get your blaster tracking high enough to hit the close orbiting light drones.
  4. Your Nos will become a Neut:
    • In longer endurance matches your nosferatu will start working as an energy neutralizer, so watch your modules carefully. The three most important modules to keep activated in this situation are your Nos, your warp scrambler, and your armor repair. You can pulse your Repper on and off to keep your guns running if you're not taking too much damage in favor of keeping the guns on. The closer you keep your own cap at zero, the less capacitor your target will have to run his modules such as neuts, webs, and especially their active tanking modules. Using this method an Enyo in a very loooong fight is capable of solo killing poorly fit or support fit battle cruisers and battleships.

Patch History


Notes

  • The February Assault Frigate balance update introduced a new module for HACs and AFs, the Assault Damage Controls, which can replace the Damage Control module for these ships
