The '''Wolf-Rayet''' is a wormhole system effect found in select C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 wormhole systems. It strongly favors small ships and armor tanking while penalizing shields and large weapons.

== Effect Bonuses ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Bonus !! C1 !! C2 !! C3 !! C4 !! C5
|-
| Small weapon damage || +18% || +36% || +54% || +72% || +90%
|-
| Armor HP || +18% || +36% || +54% || +72% || +90%
|-
| Signature radius || −18% || −36% || −54% || −72% || −90%
|-
| Shield HP || −18% || −36% || −54% || −72% || −90%
|}

== PvP Implications ==

In Wolf-Rayet systems, small armor-tanked ships gain a massive advantage. Frigates and destroyers receive the full signature reduction and weapon damage bonuses, making them disproportionately dangerous relative to their cost.

* '''Armor frigates''' (Astero, Cruor, Daredevil) are extremely strong
* '''Shield fits''' are heavily penalized — avoid
* '''Large weapons''' do not receive the damage bonus
* Attackers using small sig ships can be nearly impossible to hit with large guns

== Site Running ==

Wolf-Rayet effects benefit small gang PvE setups. A fleet of armor-tanked frigates or destroyers can clear sites faster than standard cruiser fleets in high-class Wolf-Rayet systems due to the signature reduction making Sleeper application poor.

<div class="evewiki-notice">
<span class="evewiki-notice-label">Tip</span>
In C5 Wolf-Rayet systems the armor HP bonus reaches +90%. Dual armor-repaired ships become extraordinarily tanky. This is the preferred environment for solo capital escalation farming.

== Recommended Ships ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Ship !! Role !! Notes
|-
| [[Astero]] || Scout / Combat || Benefits from armor bonus and sig reduction. Excellent solo hunter.
|-
| [[Daredevil]] || PvP Frigate || Web bonus + Wolf-Rayet damage = extremely high DPS
|-
| [[Cruor]] || Tackle || Neut + web + armor tank synergizes perfectly
|-
| [[Enyo]] || PvE / PvP || Strong blaster damage, armor tank, tiny sig
|-
| [[Confessor]] || Flex || Can run armor mode, benefits from small weapon bonus
|}
