Chaotic Abyssal Deadspace (T5)
Where the Abyss starts shooting back properly: −50/70% rolls, Deepwatchers in TRIOS (T5-T6), and the Rogue Drone Overmind battleship gains a stasis web to fix its one weakness. Rewards rise steeply (practitioner-cited T5 medians ~170M/run) but so does the loss rate — the proven T5-T6 fit lineages carry kill-stats like 115 losses in 90 days. "High APM, RNG-based, some rooms where you accept instant or near-instant death" is the practitioners' own framing. Fly it deliberately, not sleepily. The 2024-25 Triglavian spool-time nerf reshaped this tier's meta: the Ikitursa lost its dominance (still flown, pricier and touchier), and Muninn/Cerberus emerged as the budget Dark alternatives. Blue-cloud + Marshal and Karen-on-pylon rooms are the attested killers.
