Y-Defender is a Tier 3 ship in Starblast.io. It fires a relatively large pulse from the nose of the ship that deals a high amount of damage and slight recoil. When maxed, the Y-Defender is capable of firing two shots with a one second delay between them.

Following the pattern present with all defender class ships, the Y-Defender is fairly slow, lacking in agility, but has a respectable energy regeneration, great shields, and a high mass for its tier. It can stand toe-to-toe with any other tier 3 ship and will usually fare well when dueling against any tier 4 ships as long as the player uses the ship to the highest effectiveness.

It is recommended to upgrade energy regeneration first while playing as this ship followed shortly after by shield regeneration. The Y-Defender's high mass, shields, and energy allow for incredibly fast mining for that tier, and in a moderately dense asteroid field will usually be able to fully upgrade everything in a matter of minutes. It is highly recommended to exhibit caution when fighting a Y-Defender at any tier as a fully upgraded Y-Defender can prove a moderate threat to most ships. While a fully upgraded Y-Defender is very effective, a Y-Defender without damage upgraded can be especially deadly, due to the rapid fire rate.

Its low maneuverability, however, is its main weakness. Fast and agile ships can defeat the Y-Defender by means of hit-and-run. The best strategy when facing off against a ship that is hard to hit is attempting to lure them into a dense asteroid field and ramming them, as the higher agility ships tend to lack mass and shields.

As this ship is relatively tanky, yet has a decent amount of firepower, it synergizes very well with both attack and defense pods. When equipped with three mining pods, this ship can mine exceptionally quickly as well. A Y-Defender sporting three defense pods is a force to be reckoned with.

Inspired by Star Wars, the Y-Defender resembles the Y-Wing from the Star Wars Universe.
