Game Mode Basics
In Perilous Route, your mission is to escort a damaged command ship through a battlefield while defending her from enemy fleets eager to finish the job. As the command ship journeys to her destination, she'll stop twice for repairs. During each stop, you'll need to complete one of three primary objectives:
Primary Objectives
- Scouting the Area: Spot enemy ships preparing an ambush for your fleet in a designated area.
- Capturing Key Area: Secure a strategically important position on the map.
- Eliminating Enemy Forces: Destroy a group of rival destroyers sent to sink the command ship.
To add variety to each battle, five secondary objectives of varying difficulties will be randomly chosen from a pool of 15 possible tasks. These can range from destroying enemy forts to ensuring the command ship reaches her destination with a certain amount of HP remaining.
Once the command ship reaches her destination, the final battle begins. With repairs complete, she'll join the fight; however, being fully operational doesn't mean she's invulnerable. If the command ship is sunk, you will fail the mission, so protecting her remains a top priority.
Coordinated Fleet Support
To aid you in this, every player will start each Perilous Route battle with a limited number of Coordinated Fleet Support consumable charges. When activated, this partially restores HP for you, your teammates, and the command ship. If multiple players activate their Coordinated Fleet Support at the same time, the effects will stack.
