The best species for fleet admirals are Vodyani, Hissho, and Sophon, mainly because all three of these species have a +6 fleet movement skill as well as other combat buffs. The other two classes have some minor fleet bonuses and more hero ship support slots, but are usually better as governors. Seekers bring mostly mobility skills, offering doubled warp (off-lane) movement speed, additional base movement, a few probes for scouting enemy fleet compositions, and 3 support module slots, allowing 1-2 to be used for fleet accelerators or cloaking modules. If your ships are running 2 engines, the Guardian will not be able to provide cloaking or additional movement speed.

Guardians offer a bevy of fleet damage and survivability buffs, and a capstone skill that provides an additional extremely good tactics card however, the Guardian skill tree has no mobility or utility skills and the hero ship itself only has 2 support module slots. Fleet Admiralsįor fleet admirals, the best classes are Guardian and Seeker.

Hero skills mainly differ based on their species and class, and Heroes can either be assigned as a fleet admiral or a system governor some combinations of species and class are better for these purposes than others.
