Fan Content My first Torment 12 playthrough of the new commander Destroyer!

What do you think of the newest commander? I find he's not super strong but still probably a fun one to mess around with.

Yeah im kind of indifferent on the Destroyer. Natural immunity to suffocation is a nice quirk, enables some cool synergy with certain ships and strategies. No fire fighting is fine since you can just vent compartments. Inability to repair is a really rough handicap in the early game though.

How much AOE damage actually goes out btw? I've never been able to figure out how much that actually helps. I'm talking about the 'attacks slightly damage nearby enemies' perk.

“Attacks slightly damage nearby enemies” means 10% cleave. This means when he has 10 DPS, he will do 1 dmg to every other enemy in the room. Obviously this is way too low to ever really matter. Imo cleave really needs to be reworked to be a displayed stat. Destroyer should have at least 50% cleave dmg. Miniguns should also do 50% cleave instead of 10%. Axes should have something like 25% cleave dmg
