The key to winning the final challenge was to help Furia come to grips with her inherited power.
The Dominion of Man by herself was not yet able to cope with a mythical god beast like the phoenix.
Her vaunted weapon systems that could easily demolish any alien battleship she came across were ultimately outclassed in this fight.
The phoenix utilized its blazing speed and agility to frustrate the tracking of many slow-moving primary gun turrets, and relied on its True God-level fire shield to block the errant shots that managed to land true.
To their credit, the crew of the dreadnought did not settle for the status quo and tried their best to improve the results.
They tweaked and modified their targeting and tracking parameters so that the weapons of the dreadnought could better cope with a circling opponent.
