Sky Predator (Season 3)
Sky Battlefront in Season 3
By Season 3, your alliance has the deepest roster of Exclusive Weapons yet. DVA, Kimberly, Murphy, Carlie, and now Marshall all have weapons. Scarlett's UR promotion adds another durable front-line option. Combined, these upgrades push your Sky Predator damage to levels that can overwhelm airship shield phases entirely.
For the full event mechanics, see the Sky Predator Guide.
With five heroes carrying Exclusive Weapons, your rally compositions are dramatically stronger than in previous seasons. Marshall's weapon alone adds a team-wide damage multiplier to every rally he joins. Rallies led by DVA or Kimberly with Marshall buffing deal damage that was not achievable in Season 2. Push your shield-break strategy accordingly.
What Is Different in Season 3
More Exclusive Weapons
Season 3 adds Marshall's Exclusive Weapon to the available arsenal. The full list of weapons your rally can leverage:
Marshall Changes Rally Math
Marshall's Exclusive Weapon amplifies his existing 16.5% attack buff and 30% cooldown reduction:
- Every rally with Marshall deals significantly more damage — his buff applies to all rally participants
- Cooldown reduction means more skill activations during each rally cycle
- If your alliance has multiple Marshall players with weapons, stagger them across rallies so the buff is always active
- Marshall does not need to lead the rally — he provides his buff from any position
Scarlett in Rally Defence
Scarlett's UR promotion provides another front-line option for rally durability:
- Murphy and Scarlett together give Tank rallies exceptional survivability
- This matters for shield-phase fights where the rally needs to survive extended damage
- Scarlett frees Williams for garrison duty or backup formations
Spice Wars Scheduling Conflict
Sky Predator may overlap with Spice Wars preparation:
- If Sky Predator falls on Tuesday or Friday, your PvE time is split between Protector generation and Sky Predator
- Prioritise Spice Wars preparation over Sky Predator if forced to choose — Spice determines rankings
- If no scheduling conflict, participate fully in Sky Predator for the rewards
Season 3 Rally Compositions
If you have Marshall with Exclusive Weapon, he should be in every rally. His team-wide damage buff is multiplicative with all other damage sources. A rally with DVA + Marshall (weapon) deals dramatically more damage than DVA alone. Prioritise getting Marshall into your rally formation even if it means adjusting other heroes.
Season 3 Shield-Break Strategy
With Marshall's weapon multiplying rally damage, shield-break approaches become more aggressive:
Season 3 Defence
Your alliance is better at defending against the enemy Sky Predator:
- Murphy with Mitigation Master remains the best garrison defender
- Scarlett UR provides a second strong garrison Tank
- Marshall's weapon in garrison means your defenders' counter-damage is amplified
- Higher star-promoted gear means bases survive more airship attacks
Common Season 3 Sky Predator Mistakes
- Not including Marshall (with weapon) in rallies — he provides the highest-value buff available. His weapon is a force multiplier
- Under-estimating alliance damage — with Marshall's weapon and Season 3 power levels, you may be able to skip shield phases entirely
- Scheduling conflict with Spice Wars prep — if Sky Predator falls near Spice Wars, budget your time and troops
- Neglecting Morrison — his armour shred amplifies Marshall's buffed damage. They stack multiplicatively
- Forgetting Rush Phase donations — still the most common mistake across all seasons
- Not leveraging Scarlett in front row — she provides rally durability that lets you push aggressive strategies
