Korako 'The Rabbit' Kosakami, Gurista leader, has a particular love for stealing the Caldari's ship designs, souping them up, and turning them on their creators. With the Worm, he has taken the Merlin design so familiar to Caldari pilots and turned it into a defensive powerhouse capable of firing its volleys at terrifying speeds.

Summary

The Kronos update brought the Worm back in ine with assault frigates, both in terms of dps and tank. The Worm can only use two light drones, but its role bonus makes them as effective as 8. The Worm is effective in PvE (up to level 3 missions with care) as well as in PvP although it is significantly more costly than tech II frigates such as the Ishkur.

NOTES

A deadspace shield booster is well worth its money for such an expensive hull, as are T2 shield mods.
Cap stable.
Keep moving with the AB on and watch out for collidible structures and webbing frigates, as losing speed significantly increases the damage taken.
