Protect
1. Cover the runner
A loaded ally or haul is the prize. Your job is not to farm — it is to screen fire, cut angles, and keep the runner alive through contested space.
Escort · growth_escort_20261002
Cover the runner. Survive the lane. Bank the haul together.
CLASHROIDS escort is the protect-the-haul beat: a loaded ally or prize haul moves through contested space, you cover the runner, survive the lane, then bank or extract together. Free in the browser. Steam Coming Soon (app 4296990) — wishlist toward 10K+.
The escort loop
Lane
2. Survive the lane
Pick the path, hold the flanks, and trade space for time. Escort is a moving fight: the lane is contested until the haul clears it.
Bank
3. Bank or extract together
Reach the bank or extract alive as a unit. The haul only counts when it clears — solo greed that abandons the runner wastes the whole run.
Together
4. Shared score
Escort wins are shared: cover that lets the runner live is the play. Distinct from solo cargo risk — here the wing is the armor.
Why escort sticks
- » Protect a loaded ally/haul → cover the runner → survive the lane → bank/extract together.
- Distinct from multi-ship logistics convoy lines, smash-in raid extract, solo loaded-risk cargo, general squad fleet, and catch-the-fleeing-ship intercept — escort is covering a prize haul through contested space so you bank together.
- No invented keybinds, tech-node names, Lab steps, or weapon stats — trust what the belt shows when the runner needs cover.
- Wishlist on Steam so Early Access fleets land already practicing the escort lane.
