Who
1. Eliminated by
If a pilot killed you, their callsign is right at the top. Remember it. That is your next target.

You died. Here is where you come back, and what it cost.
Dying in CLASHROIDS is not a free reset. The respawn screen tells you who got you, how much energy the death cost, and whether you are coming back at your base or out in the void. Then you pick a hull and press RESPAWN. Free in the browser. Steam Coming Soon (app 4296990), wishlist toward 10K+.
What the respawn screen shows
Cost
2. The energy penalty
The screen spells out the hit, for example "−20% energy for being shot down". How you died decides how much battery you keep.
Where
3. Base or void
"Respawning at your base" means your last-built 3-hex or 7-hex base still stands. "No base, respawning in the void" means you drop in somewhere away from where you died.
Hull
4. Pick a ship, then RESPAWN
After the "RESPAWN IN" countdown, choose Interceptor, Vanguard or Bastion. The hull you pick applies on this respawn. If your pick is not available, the button reads SELECT AVAILABLE SHIP.
How much energy you keep
- 80% Shot down in combat by bullets or lasers. The cheapest way to go.
- 60% Crashed into an asteroid, a hex wall or a black hole. Sloppy flying costs more.
- 40% Killed in a ship-to-ship ram. Kamikaze plays hurt you most.
- » The in-game help puts it plainly: dying cheaply is no longer free.
Make your next life better
- » Build a 3-hex triplet base early. It is your respawn point, plus +25% power regen and repairs. A 7-hex fortress adds +50% regen and the full upgrade menu.
- » Your respawn point is the last base you built. If rivals break it, you are back in the void, so defend it with turrets or shields.
- » Switch hull to fit the next fight: Interceptor is fast with a small battery, Vanguard is balanced, Bastion is slow and heavy with the largest battery.
- » Rank and resources carry over between rounds; scores and upgrades reset each round.
