Battle nodes

More loot, more combat luck, an extra round and bonuses against aliens: battle nodes decide close fights.

The battle category makes up almost the entire second branch, which starts right at the centre with attack power against aliens, and extends into the fleet branch. It splits into three groups: fighting players, protecting your resources and fighting aliens.

Against players

  • Loot: more resources from your attacks – or smaller losses when you are attacked.
  • Combat luck: tips combat luck in your favour or lowers your opponent's (Combat system).
  • Resurrection: a chance to get destroyed ships or defenses back after the battle.
  • Extra combat round: an ultimate node at the end of the alien branch that adds one more round to your battles.
  • Raid attack: more attack power for fleets launched from your raid colonies.
  • Hide resources: part of your resources is safe from plundering during attacks.

Against aliens

More Spice from alien waves, a higher weekly Spice cap, a higher emblem cap and more attack power against aliens. These nodes start right at the centre – ideal for anyone who fights alien waves regularly (Aliens).

Who benefits?

Raiders go for loot, combat luck and the extra round. Defenders and miners pick up loot protection, hidden resources and defense repair. Alien hunters start with the alien nodes – they're the cheapest entry into the network because they sit right at the start.
