In Combat
The Visiri Mechbay is best used in conjunction with the Android Studio to launch massive swarms of Androids.

Other than that, the Visri Mechbay should be treated the exact same way the Android Studio would regarding placement and usage.
Android Combos
Read First
The combos below require the player to have both the Android Studio and Visiri Mechbay onboard the ship. If the player wishes to only use the Visri Mechbay, the strategies for it are listed here.
Service Spam Combo [Support][Mid-Late Game] + + +
The Service Spam Combo is the most commonly used combo. It utilizes 4 Service Droids to repair a multitude of damaged rooms with ease. Service Droids can also heal other Crew with its Healing Rain ability, allowing for massive heals in a short period of time.
Defence Spam Combo [Support][Mid-Late Game] + + +
The Defence Spam Combo utilizes 4 Defence Droids that bombard enemy boarders on the player's ship. Defence Droids have the Critical Attack ability, allowing them to do guaranteed damage on enemy boarders.
Boarder Spam Combo [Win Condition][Mid-Late Game] + + +
The Boarder Spam Combo utilizes 4 Boarder Droids that use the player's Teleport to board the enemy ship and cause massive damage. Boarder Droids have the Ultra Dismantle ability, allowing the Android to heavily damage the first room it attacks. The amount of Boarder Droids launched outmatch the speed of which the Teleport can reload, so many players recommend switching one of the Boarder Droids for a Defence/Service Droid.
Repair and Attack Combo [Support][Mid-Late Game] + + ( + / + )
The Repair and Attack Combo utilizes both Service and Defence/Boarder Droids. By pairing the Androids together, the player can have multiple combos going on at once. For example, 2 Boarder Droids and 2 Service Droids allows the player to mass board the enemy ship whilst also repairing rooms and healing repair Crew.
When To Use
The Visiri Mechbay is best used in conjunction with the Android Studio. Four Androids being deployed instead of two allows for a multitude of deadly strategies the player can coordinate. However, if the player doesn't wish to do this the Visiri Mechbay can also act as a substitute for the Android Studio to consume less power. The Visiri Mechbay can also be used to deploy Androids before level 7.
AI
