Introduction - Symmetry & Asymmetry
This guide is a work-in-progress and not yet complete. I will be posting a general change log at the end as I continue working on it.

The 3.0 update for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation started off as just some visual tweaks to the benchmark early in 2020 (in what would have been 2.96). Little would we realize that by the end of 2020 we would be well on the way to a more major update.

This revision of the game came with two stipulations:
  1. Units must feel more differentiated and have a defined purpose.
  2. Armor Piercing needs to be either 100% or 0%, no more in-between states.

That sounds pretty simple on the surface. In most games, it would be fairly straightforward but Ashes is a different critter. Why? Simply because the engine is non-deterministic: put two enemy units in the same spot a few times and you can get a different result every time. Moreover, changing one stat tends to cascade balance in ways you may not immediately recognize. I could expound on this for paragraphs, but I'm getting off track.

So where did we start on such a task? Symmetry.

Everything in Ashes has some low-level commonalities: faction, unit tier, shields (for Substrate), sight range, etc. The first step for 3.0 was to take these factors and standardize them across units within the same tier. You'll see these in the next section in detail; this allows players to know (and for us to balance) tiers are certain strength levels, etc. No more guesswork at why a Tier 1 frigate can wipe out Tier 2 cruisers!

The second step was to look hard at each unit in the game and focus it. Previously, many units were 'squishy' - you could use them for anything. This is what some players felt turned into the mass wall of death - just build whatever, it doesn't really matter! Well, now it very much does. Just about everything now has a hard counter to it, forcing players to adapt and not rely on masses of whatever.

The third step was to recognize that there are many things in the game that are simply non-symmetric. The PHC and the Substrate each have their unique strengths and weaknesses, but they most definitely have unique units and buildings too (especially with Hunter / Prey). You have to accept that some of this stuff just can't be handled the same way.
Gameplay Constants
Accuracy Table
Weapons have a default accuracy based on their Impact and Type in v3.0. Previously this was not the case and varied widely between units and even individual weapons on the same unit.

Impact Type

Generally speaking, abilities will always hit with 100% accuracy - especially if they are positive (healing, shield restore, etc.). If an ability does not have 100% accuracy, it will be called out in its section (later on).

Additional Stats
Visual Range / Radar
In version 3.0 all units and defensive structures gain limited radar capability to 15 meters past their sight range. This allows all units to target things they may not otherwise 'see' visually that is just past their sight.
Unit Type
Sight/Radar Range
Tier 1 Units

Economic buildings/units do not have radar and tend to have limited sight range.

Unit Speed
You guessed it - unit speeds have also been standardized in the 3.0 update

Terms and What Things Mean
Before moving into the next section, it's important to have a reference for what certain terms mean since they'll be used throughout.

Terms
  • Squad Size: How many individual units are deployed as part of a squad. For example, when you order a Brute squad, you get 3 Brute units since its squad size is 3.

  • Hit Points (HP): The amount of damage something can take before it's destroyed. Can also refer to the amount of points restored during repair. Except where noted in the Gameplay Constants section, HP does not passively regenerate. HP is listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.

  • Shield Points: The amount of damage a item's shields can take before failing. Once shields fail, damage is done directly to HP. Shields passively regenerate over time and can also be restored via various abilities. Shields are listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.

  • Armor: A number between 1-20, where each point of Armor represents 5% damage negation. For example, if a unit has Armor 4 then 20% (4 * 5%) of all incoming damage is negated automatically. Armor negation applies to both HP and Shields independently.

  • Energy: Energy is a special resource used by some units' weapons. Energy passively regenerates over time and can also be restored via support units. Energy is listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.

  • Cost: How much investment something requires to be constructed as denoted by Metal, Radioactives, Quanta (if applicable) and Time. This is shown both as a total and as per second investment. Costs are listed per squad (not per unit).
    • Metal: The most common resource in the game, metal deposits are found everywhere on most maps. Everything requires metal to construct.
    • Radioactives: An uncommon/rare resource, radioactive deposits can be quite scarce on the battlefield. Radioactives are required for some tier 1 units and all tier 2 and higher units, plus many structures.
    • Quanta: A special resource that is slowly gained via Quantum Relays/Archive structures. Quanta is required to complete research, increase Logistics, deploy Orbital abilities and to build tier 4 units. Quanta costs escalate with each use.

  • Logistics: Logistics is what I call a 'soft' resource since there's no upper limit to how much you can have. As noted above, Logistics is gained via Quanta research, with each 'upgrade' costing a bit more than the last. Each unit in the game requires some amount of Logistics. Logistics is listed per squad (not per unit).

  • Construction Time: The amount of time (in seconds) it takes to build something. Resources are drained per second of construction time. Logistics is listed per squad (not per unit).

  • Weapons: Each weapon entry will contain various information as follows:
    • Weapon Name / Banks / (Damage / Type): The flavor text weapon name, how many banks the unit has and what type it is. The type references back to the accuracy ratings from Gameplay Constants.
      • Banks: If a weapon name is followed by x and a number, that indicates that the unit has that number of banks on it. For example, Railgun x4 means that the unit has 4 independent railgun weapons, each of which targets/fires as a separate weapon along its respective firing arc.
    • Range: The minimum / maximum range of the weapon in meters. Weapons with a minimum range must be at least that far away from their target to fire.
    • Rate of Fire: The time (in seconds) between each volley.
    • Shots per Volley: How many individual shots are fired per volley of the weapon. Note that each individual shot inflicts damage on impact.
    • Energy per Volley: The amount of energy required to fire a volley. If a unit runs out of energy, they can no longer fire the weapon.
    • Interpulse: The amount of time between individual shots fired. Not used for Beam weapons.
    • Duration: Specifically for Beam weapons that deal damage over time. Damage is applied per second.
    • Damage per Impact: The amount of damage inflicted on something when it is hit by a weapon's shot. This can be reduced by Armor.
    • AoE (Area of Effect): The radius of damage per impact in meters.
    • Armor-Piercing: Denotes a weapon that bypasses Armor entirely. Weapons are either Armor-Piercing or not (with one ability exception).
    • Targets (Primary, Secondary, Cannot Target): Which units or structures can be targeted by the weapon. This is a good indication of what units are best against!
Neutral Creep Defenders (Tier 1)
Once you arrive on a map, automated defenses will activate around each power node and Turinium Generator present. These neutral defenders will circle their respective node and attack anyone on sight (especially around Turinium Generators).

Generally speaking, these forces are no match for yours if you arrive in force or catch them early on; but beware that they are much stronger than before!

Creeps use lesser variants of Substrate units since they were originally deployed by Haalee before the war.

Tier 1 Units - Frigates
Frigates (Tier 1 units) make up the initial troops in any army. Each serves a particular purpose ranging from close-combat to long-distance artillery and support.

Each sub-section below lists the symmetric pairing across factions. This means that the PHC and Substrate units serve the same combat role and will typically defeat one another one-on-one (if applicable). Units listed as Asymmetric do not have a pairing and stand unique on the field within this tier.

Melee Units
These are very close-ranged units, equivalent to melee/brawler units in other games. They are tougher than other tier 1 units and are meant to help defend their ranged brethren.

Tier 3 Units - Assault Dreadnoughts
Unlike other units in the game, Dreadnoughts gain experience points as targets are destroyed in their presence, allowing them to gain levels (max 5). You may choose from 3 options when your unit gains a level; one of which is always an instant HP restore. Be mindful that dreadnoughts are designed to be the core on which to build armies around. While they are very powerful, they're not meant to act alone and can be defeated by swarms of enemies.

Assault Dreadnoughts are designed to take the fight to enemy armies. They are equipped with numerous weapons to take on a wide-array of close-range targets as you push into enemy territory.

Air Units - Basic Fighters, Bombers & Scouts
Previously air units really weren't worth building: they were expensive, didn't do much damage and were easily killed. It's not a great feeling to see the bomber you just spent minutes building die in a couple seconds without taking anything out with him! As such, air units got a lot of re-balance in 3.0 to make them more useful.

Anti-Air Fighters
These units are specifically designed to counter enemy aircraft. They are the most effective air killers in the game.

Thank you for your continued work on this I learned so much! I know it's asking a lot but could you maybe add medic and repair bay? and Icing on the cake would be details on Cronus radar upgrade and maaaaaaybe even orbitals? Even if you need to stop here, it has been wonderful and we really appreciate it!

yarlen you spelled atlas wrong

Hmm, so it's more balanced like Supreme Commander then? At least, that's the vibe I'm getting from this patch. That's a good thing though! :)

Thanks!

Well done guys great guide i mean really good.

@ Yarlen and drivver44 Thank you both. all of that makes sense and should help me make some better decisions.
drivver44 23 Feb, 2021 @ 12:20pm 
while yes you can STOP building athena/mauler for hera/eradicator the assualt cruisers (athena/mauler) still have a role to play in the army. yes you can get away with swtich production to the heavy cruisers but its worth noting that the assualt cruisers will have more dps per resource spent while the heavy cruisers will have better hp and armor.
the hera has less dps compared to the eradicator
the eradicator can however be used to replace avenger and masochist production because the secondaries are good at killing frigates

Steam really needs in-line replies...

@frosty2harmony - re: ground unit speeds, currently yes. For outside of armies - the PHC Nemesis and possibly Artemis. Really depends on the situation. I tend to deploy at least a few air bomber units with my armies now as well.

An army is full when it hits a limit of 128 units IIRC. Building shape.... artistic choice? :P

Lastly, yes, I would still build Athena/Mauler after unlocking the Hera/Eradicator. The Athena/Mauler are specifically balanced to eliminate other cruisers. The Hera/Eradicator are more of a stepping stone to dreadnoughts.
