The Glaucopennia is one of two forms of the Glaucopennia/Phoenix. The Glaucopennia can transform into a Phoenix with its inbuilt 'A Flaming Egg?' (sic) Super Item, and vice versa with the Phoenix's 'A Freezing Egg?'.

Compared to the Phoenix, the Glaucopennia is slower, but much more durable with its resistances and +100% Shield Max mod. However, it loses some of its offensive power as a Glaucopennia - the +40% Damage mod is lost, as well as its critical hit chance and strength mods.

An AI variant, the Frail Glaucopennia, can be found roaming Perilous Space and as a boss in DGs. As a roaming AI, it is passive and will not attack the player unless provoked. Despite being a member of the Bird of Prey Family, it is rather slow, but multifires slow but hard-hitting energy and physical pulse guns. When its shields are brought down to ~25%, it will activate a Super Item that quickly regenerates its shields and transforms it into a brand new Phoenix. However, a player with enough burst damage will be able to surpass the regeneration during the 'rebirth' and easily bring it down.

Lucky players that defeat a Glaucopennia may possibly obtain the blueprint for this mystical ship, sporting fearsome stats useful for either Recon class.


The blueprint produces a Glaucopennia Rebirth - a ship upgrade that can be applied to a Hawk. It should be noted that either ship upgrade will result in effectively the same ship, just with different build materials.
