do those steps:
-
look at shield stats
-
look at Guard’s special module
-
Compare what you have and what you r missing
*little tip* F module is a key
I haven’t seen many of those strong players in tier 5 >.>
There are so many tier rushers there they are hard to find :d
I say play in T5 whether there be tier rushers or not. they’ll get better by fighting against stronger opponents, so crush them again and again until they become as hard as diamonds.
No they won’t, they miss out on basics of the game like this

And thus get frustrated because they get instabanged all game and then quit. It is like taking your driving test over and over again when your total experience of driving consists of winding down the windows

don’t use signature masking, especially in solo play, the effect of the module is minimal.

just waiting to get the crusader to unlock the shield emergency boost

You can use these:
“AdaptiveShieldBoost” used with “Shield Restore L” together gives noticeable suitability under fire
or instead
pretty much everything is better than signature masking

his point is that your “F” module gives you 150 resistance to dmg type of YOUR choice, so if you use it to EM you get
106 Kinetic
120 EM
120 Thermal
hey I see many guards using the blaster, is it better than the coil mortar?
If you’re running close range, it’s one of the best weapons for a guard. so long as you can get close, while using the curved reflector, no other frigate gun can beat you, except for well placed torps and another heavy blaster with curved reflector (guard vs guard)
Of course, you’ll be wanting some good shield defenses to go with that.
just bought the crusader, what about that loadout?

Vernier Engine; Voltage Regulator and Acceleration Coils; 1 Thermal, 1 EM, 1 Shield volume increase
Coil Mortars - Crit Chance ammo
Octopus missiles
Active module set up is already good.
I’m using something like Tillowaty’s build
It is a good build if you just want a frigate with good resistances, but you are just negating one of the advantages of the phase shield, which is the damage boost.
When you are hit with the same damage as the phase shield is in, you get a 25% damage bonus. So it is better in the long term to learn to play with the F key instead of using the phase shield just to cover your EM hole.
I’m not saying it is a bad build, but properly built guards uses the F key to adjust the defence and to increase their firepower.
Rakza has a really good guide to guards buried somewhere in the forum. You should give it a look. And ask him. The baguette is the guard master and usually he is glad to help.
