## Summary

</div>
The Vigil is the Minmatar EWAR frigate. It has bonuses to target painting effectiveness and range.

Target painting can be situationally useful when damage-dealing ships need help to apply their damage to elusive targets. However, due to stacking penalties on target painters' effects, fleets of any size usually only need a few target-painting ships.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Tactics

</div>
Like other small and fragile electronic warfare ships, the Vigil is often best-served by "bouncing" away from the fight and back when targeted. Vigil pilots can fight while pre-aligned to a nearby celestial and warp out as soon as they are locked up or start taking damage, and then warp back in to continue applying their painters.
