The Saboteur Destroyer is the Marauder version of the Inquisitor Destroyer, designed for long range assaults. It retains its Ballista Overdrive, and trades its Alien and Plasma Resistance for Resurgence and Void Resistance.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

The Saboteur is similar to the Inquisitor Destroyer in most aspects, retaining its longer projectile range, thus allowing projectiles fired from driver weapons equipped to it to reach much further, especially when combined with the destroyer's Ballista Overdrive.

However, it now has Resurgence, and thus can regain a portion of the damage it took in combat whenever it wins a PvP battle, enhancing its durability for subsequent fights.

It also has Void resistance, up to a maximum of 50% at Mk 5.

Disadvantages

Like all destroyers, With a slow turning speed and narrow firing arc, blitz attacks can overpower a Saboteur Destroyer fleet if a pincer approach is adopted. It is equally vulnerable to squadrons as well. Use Blackguard Cruisers to protect the relatively fragile destroyers from incoming attack or decoy incoming fire away.
