The Breacher's structure is little more than a fragile scrapheap, but the ship's missile launcher hardpoints and superior sensors have placed it among the most valued Minmatar frigates when it comes to long range combat.

'The Breacher is a Minmatar Combat Frigate. It is an exceptional frigate for solo PvP, and is very commonly used in low-security faction warfare combat sites. The Breacher’s speed and agility allow it to effectively dictate range from targets, while its bonus to shield boosters help it survive while taking hits at that range. The Breacher can also be used as a “second tackle” frigate in fleets, following up the initial tackler by applying a warp scrambler (“scram”) and stasis webifier (“web”) to targets. Overall, the Breacher is a versatile, general combat ship, especially for new Minmatar pilots.

The Breacher is an excellent platform for learning about PvP, and especially solo and small-gang PvP in low-sec space. The ship is frequently fit as a scram-kiter, with the scram and web modules used to keep frigate opponents 8 km away while the pilot pounds them with bonused rockets. The Breacher can also be fit with missiles and flown as a long-range kiter, especially in PvE, though it is not as fast as the Caldari Kestrel or other faction frigates in this role. Like most Minmatar ships, the Breacher is typically fit with a shield tank. It is not uncommon to find the Breacher fit with an ancillary armor repairer as well, in a dual-tanked configuration.
