	''The Nephilim usually carries Cyclops torpedoes and appears in the last few convoy missions of the FS2 campaign. Destroying them might take a slightly longer time than usual, as it has a very sturdy shield.''

			''One very useful advantage you can exploit is that the Nephilim's engines are in front, near the top. That means if you get a Trebuchet missile locked on to the engines, one of those missiles is enough to leave it stranded. This can be a tactic that can buy you some time so you don't have to fend off a massive wave of heavily armored bombers all at once.''

	''In FS1, your best option is to chuck Phoenix V missiles at it. If that doesn't cut it (such can be the case in FSPort Hard and Insane), a Banshee (or a Shield Breaker in [[Silent Threat: Reborn\|STR]]) with an Avenger or Prometheus can work. Keep in mind only ~~the Valkyrie and Hercules~~ can ~~only support~~ both the Banshee and ~~Phoenix V~~, ~~and can have a few disadvantages~~ (fragility and sluggishness are particular ~~ones~~ respectively).''

	{{comment\|''I loathe Nephilims and their Seraphim clones, especially in FS1. They just '''won't die'''. With 1600 shields and 500 armor, it takes 4 Trebuchets to bring one down. God help you if you get in front of it, because it has seven gun mounts, all in one bank for increased rate of fire, with which it will smack you up. However, this should really be a non-issue, as the Nephilim is very slow, very unmaneuverable, and has NO AFTERBURNER. I recommend chucking a couple of missiles at it from a distance and then charging in (not head-on) and dropping behind it where it will be completely helpless.''		{{comment\|''I loathe Nephilims and their Seraphim clones, especially in FS1.

	The '''SB ''Nephilim''''' is a [[Shivans\|Shivan]]-designed bomber. It is one of the heaviest Shivan bombers ever encountered to date. Sporting a shield system twice as strong as that of the [[GTB Ursa\|GTB ''Ursa'']] and comparable hull integrity, two automated turrets, four massive secondary banks and a single, hepta-linked primary fire system, the ''Nephilim'''s greatest weaknesses ~~comes~~ from its large target profile, abysmal maneuverability and the fact that it has no afterburner.
