Best tips, tricks, and strategies for beginners in Homeworld Mobile

1. Make Hyperspace jumps when needed

Don’t hesitate to use hyperspace humps when you are in backfoot in a fight. Hyperspace jump repairs all your ships automatically. So, you can always redo the mission with full strength after your escorts and strike ships are fully healed. Avoid battles during side missions when your tasks are completed.

2. Strategise during battles

Refrain from attacking your enemies with all your available units; try using the right units for the right enemies. For example, enemy ships with strong armor should be attacked using bombers, not interceptors. Try assigning specific units to a particular group and giving them specific tasks. Giving units specific tasks will rid you of facing problems of giving multiple commands to each unit during a battle.

3. Dock your strike craft to heal

Your strike craft can be instantly healed by docking it in the flagship. So you can heal your ships and redeploy them into battle at full strength in no time. And no worries, your flagship can never be destroyed; it can only be disabled.

4. Go on signal missions

Going on a relic or cagnacian missions will give you access to the main story and chances to collect resources and artifacts. Relic missions are easier to complete as you can collect the artifact using your resource collecter and instantly make a hyperspace jump, avoiding any heavy fight. Generally, in relic missions, enemies do not attack you right away; they will wait till you get to the artifacts.

Try avoiding progenitor missions because they are strong and can put heavy damage on your ships.You can also go on unique missions, which are scattered throughout the mission Chapters and can have multiple unique goals to overcome.

5. Mine and Build

Go on missions to collect resources such as blueprints, materials, etc., by resource collectors and use them to fabricate ships. Try refining Ru A ore more because it’s more needed during fabrication.

So these are the tips, tricks, and strategies that will help you, a beginner, go through Homeworld Mobile without any haze and have a perfect first experience.
