Burner Ashimmu - Brawling setups
General advise

- All numbers are with an all V EFT char, no imps, no booster.
- You will lose Drones so TII Drones setups aren't cost-efficient. TI Drones work fine on the Gila and are cost and time efficient.

Burner Ashimmu - Gila
- As usual NPC AI is weird there is no guarantee that the AI behaviour will last. Be warned if the AI changes you might lose this Gila setup because tank isn't sustainable. Again this setup works only because Drones will be targeted and DPS taken away from your Gila.
- Gila TII Drones will be targeted most of the time after your Drones aggroed, in contrast TI Drones most of the times will be only targeted by the Sentinels but not always by the Ashimmu. So use TI Drones with this setup.
- After warp in align away from the Ashimmu to buy time, kill the Sentinels first.
- You don't have to avoid the NOS/Neut on the Ashimmu as your Omnidirectional Tracking Link II only need 0.1 cap, you can always switch it back on.
- Put at least 2x medium TII Drones in your Drone Bay in case you have to gtfo.

Burner Ashimmu - Ishtar
- The tank calculation is tricky because Ashimmu and Sentinel have a different DPS Profile. This are minimum numbers and work only if you kill the Sentinels first and fast.
X-Large ASB + 52k EHP vs 72:28 EM:The (EFT Profile) with a large shield buffer
X-Large ASB + 48k EHP vs 38:14:26:21 EM:The:Exp:Kin (EFT Profile) with a large shield buffer
- You need X-Large ASB and minimum 52k EHP with a large shield buffer vs 72:28 EM:The (EFT Profile), if you don't have 52k EHP with your skills the setups do not work as you won't survive the ASB reload.
- Make sure your shield is as close to 100% as possible when you used your last ASB charge so you will survive the reload. Always OH your ASB
- Always kill the Sentinels first use Hobgoblin II.
- Use Wasp II vs the Ashimmu
- Try to orbit the Ashimmu as good as possible

I'm curious: why not use T1 cheap drones to just make burner look to other side? I mean take Gila, fit it for maximum missile damage. Deploy drones, return drones, deploy drones, return drones,... Ignore Sentinels and kill Ashimmu right from the start. As you said they constantly aggro drones, so if you perform deploy/return fast enough you won't lose drones and you won't have incoming EWAR/DPS from burners?

Sounds good try it, i have no idea how the Drone AI is triggered. It might be that only after your Drones did damage, Ashimmu+Sentinel will target them, it might not.

How much dps is the Ashimmu putting out? Possible to fit up a passive tank Nighthawk for this?

You wrote '... target them 100% all the time". I take it like: immediately after you deploy drones you lose aggro from burners and drones take damage. Sorry if it is not the case

Nighthawk = Commmand Ship aren't allowed in there. With Command Ships allowed those Burner missions would be a joke. HICs are allowed but their DPS is low and it will take considerable more time to finish the mission.
Ashimmu DPS alone is around ~380 at range.

I'm not 100% sure, again AI thing but from what i got Drones have to aggro before they got shot. I will clear that up in the original post.

However just try your idea on the testserver (Burner missions are still given out) and see how it works out.

Just lost my Comet (fit from recommended with little pimped modules to make it safer) to Burner Worm in system with active Incursion. Couldn't not break his tank and my tank was not enough to sustain incoming DPS. Created ticket with question if burners are affected by Incursion or not.

Not always true. Sometimes T2 drones do not get agro from Ashimmu at all.
Ashimmu Burner Base - Gila T2
Anyway even if Ashimmu targets drones it is easy to return the targeted drone to drone bay and use the one that was not damaged yet. Repair costs about 500K.

Used the following setup multiple times. More than enough tank

@jackudza
The NPC AI vs Drones is erratic and the Time to kill difference between TI and TII Drones is marginal. TII Drones disadvantage is you have to babysit to avoid them getting killed. That cost you micromanagment and time due to recalling them.
After all it is just easier, time and cost efficient to lose a T1 Drone and launch a new one.

I will add your fits to my list anyway.

I agree. I just wanted to notice that it is not 100% Ashimmu NPC try to kill T2 drones. From my experience it is about 65%-75%. In case it agros drones it takes no more than 1 additional minute to kill him. Gotta try T1 drones.

Why you killed sentinels first? Is it really needed? As it looked in video you have killed Ashimmu faster than 2 sentinels. ?

In video it looked like you were very close to 25% of shield so in my book it is not 'more than enough tank'

Your tank is anti Ashimmu EM+The and the Sentinels shot Exp+Kin, so getting rid of the Sentinels is reducing the incoming DPS a lot. It should be close to be on par killing 2x Sentinels vs 1x Ashimmu.

Disagree. It is more than enough to kill Ashimmu ship 3+ times in a row.

Nice setup by the way. Works without any problems even with T2 fit (just slight resist overheat or more careful piloting).
Capacitor management though is a little annoying so I prefer fit without cap booster:

Can you keep doing only burner ones or you have to do some normal ones too to keep ur standings up?
