Opening patterns & tips

  • Parity fire: open on every other square (like a chessboard) — guarantees locating a 2-cell destroyer fastest.
  • Hide Cruiser vertically on the board edge; most newbies spam centre rows.
  • After first hit fire two perpendicular shots to find orientation.
  • Blitz tip: queue shot with Enter instead of mouse-click to shave 0.5 s.
