Tips and Tricks
It is possible to manipulate the Monarch’s evasion techniques to your advantage by moving frequently. This can often cause all of their drones to be misaligned, or even cause the Monarch to destroy its own drones with new attempted ones. With such low base hull, piercing attacks are particularly effective in finishing off the Monarch quickly if you have them at this point in the loop.
