Editing Stronghold-class Commerce Vessel (section)

== In Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 1 & 2 ==

The Larger Demiurg Stronghold-class Battleship vessel keeps the same [[Cutting Beam]] special weapon and a similar loadout beyond that, just overall more potent. The damage numbers of the Stronghold are far higher than the Tau Protector fleet ships, but keep in mind this has a lot to do with the Tau's vessels being able to focus their entire armament on a single target, something the split arcs of the Stronghold and Bastion, prevents them from doing.

Unfortunately, the Cutting Beam special weapon works in mysterious ways (Read: [[Bullshit]]), as it requires you to [[Derp|sit near asteroids or wrecks to charge up to its 7-second max, to get the full damage potential each time it is used.]] This makes the layout of the map have a large effect on the usefulness of this ship, granted the rest of the weapons the two Demirurg ships come with is potent enough to be worth having.

Keep in mind, the major downside to Mercenary ships are their weakness to morale loss, which can cause them to run off the field of battle if hit too hard too quickly. The Water Caste Diplomat fleet upgrade is usually a good option if you plan on heavily relying on numerous Mercenary ships, to help negate this.
