Fighters

“Circle a target, performing 2 powerful strafing runs and suppresing buildings (causing them to operate slower). To deploy our aircraft, tap any building, or unit in enemy's base. When they've finished their attack, they may be redeployed.”

Fighters are the first type of air unit to use in the game DomiNations. They're unlocked by constructing the Airstrip level 1 in the Industrial Age.

General Information Edit

Fighters are excellent for taking down hordes of enemy units such as are Heavy Infantry and Heavy Cavalry.

The standard A.I. of Fighters is that it circles a target, performing 2 powerful strafing runs and suppressing defense buildings (causing them to operate slower). Fighters are good against heavy armored units such as Heavy Cavalry due to having 20 times more bonus damage against them. They are also extremely useful to suppress enemy defense buildings as they operate 50% slower when suppressed and can be easily taken down by your grounds units. However, Fighters can be taken down easily by an Air Defense or a Tower. The order of planes to attack is sorted by the amount of health in descending order, while the unused planes will be at the end of the list.

To deploy Fighters, tap any building or unit in the enemy's base. When they've finished their attack, they take a few seconds to refuel, and when done, go to your unit bar for redeployment.

Fighter take up 1 space in the Airstrip. They are trained in 30 minutes. They have a range of 4.

Attacking Strategies Edit

• Planes get hurt mostly because of the idle run (second run, finding nearby target if the original target got destroyed). Try to use the least number of planes needed, to preserve the health of your fleet.
• For maximum loot during loot raids, use saboteurs to destroy the defensive buildings and use the fighter aircrafts to kill the defending troops from garrisons and stables. Once all the defensive buildings are destroyed, use raiders to loot everything of that base.
