Shadow X-1 is a Tier 3 ship in Starblast.io. It is an incredibly small ship that has the highest maximum Speed of any others in the game. In terms of agility, this ship has a very high acceleration and a very low turning rate. This ship also has a very slow energy regeneration rate, which means the only viable combative tactic is the hit and run method.

This ship proves most useful in maps that lack many asteroids as hitting a single one could send your ship into an uncontrollable state. If piloted skillfully and the pilot is willing to spend the time, the Shadow X-1 is capable of slowly picking at the shields of essentially any ship of tier 5 or below and will slowly but surely kill them. The shield regeneration rate is on par with most of the ships in that teir, which means that, due to the very low shield capacity, the Shadow X-1 can regenerate to full shields relatively quickly. It has a very steep learning curve, and only very skilled players can master it to defeat other ships. An understanding of how to use RCS is extremely helpful and nearly a necessity with this ship. A good X-1 with an understanding of RCS can navigate a dense cluster of ships to escape or pick off a weak target while taking relatively little damage.

Since one wrong turn or bump can quickly turn the tides of a battle while using a Shadow X-1, it is generally recommended to remain near the edge of the screen and fire at the opponent. This allows the player to flee if need be and will usually land most of the damage as the laser velocity of the Shadow X-1 is very high. Caution is recommended when dueling against ships of higher tiers as ships such as the Advanced-Fighter are able to break through all the Shadow X-1's shields with one hit when maxed.

The Shadow X-1 can serve as a very good distraction in Team Mode, to hit-and-run enemy teams and prevent them from mining, especially in dense maps. The Shadow X-1 works very well in combination with defense and attack pods. However, due to the hit and run nature of the ship, this is usually not a sustainable combination, as the pods will usually be destroyed long before three more pods can be afforded.
