Ability

The Whale is a ship in BattleTabs. It has the ability to attack a tile and reveal all tiles orthogonally connected to it (sample usage below). It has a cooldown of 4. The ship is in the shape of a cross + Shape.png.

Unlocking

Once having won 3 battles with the Big & Tough fleet, the Reveal & Snipe fleet is unlocked, thus unlocking the whale for custom fleet usage.

Strategies

Works good for scouting out a location with many unknown tiles nearby, as it both reveals adjacent tiles and attacks 1.

Skins

The whale currently has 2 skins in the game: The Blue whale skin and the Humpback whale skin, both of which can be bought in the Shop
