Orbital Railcannon Strike Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Orbital Railcannon Strike is one of the best stratagems to take out heavily armored targets in one shot other than Bile Titan.pngBile Titan.

Orbital Railcannon Strike will bring down its devastating firepower at the location you signal it to after 1 Second of throwing it.

Once Orbital Railcannon Strike stratagem is used it will automatically aim to the nearest and biggest target and do one powerful shot. As mentioned above most enemies will be oneshotted with this attack, but Bile Titan.pngBile Titan needs to be hit on the head to be killed. In other cases is will lose some chunk of its armor and will take considerable damage. This is happening because origin of the Orbital Railcannon Strike is Super Destroyer, which is located in the middle of the player map. So if the Bile Titan.pngBile Titan is facing the center of the map chanced to kill it in one shot increases.

Orbital Railcannon Strike is arguably a better option that Orbital Laser.pngOrbital Laser because of its infinite uses and lower cooldown, but it only targets the biggest target instead of wrecking havoc to all enemies in the area.
