With setup 1: Offensive-class defensive strategy, with some HP boosting items with it.
With setup 2: This strategy is only for defending your team. Well support for your team, you cannot attack enemy directly.
With setup 3: This setup helps getting rid of the slowness of the Defender, although your health will be low compared to Defenders using many shields, you would be faster than most other ships,.
