TacticalMissile LotV Game1

A tactical missile being called down.

Tactical missiles are a terran explosive projectile utilized by the Emperor's Shadows of the Terran Dominion Royal Guard. These missiles can be targeted in a small area, heavily damaging structures. Sovereign tactical missiles are a variant that require less time to fire. They are created in royal academies.

In the alternate timeline where Arcturus Mengsk survived the Second Great War, he deployed these missiles against the forces of Amon. With the use of full emergency powers, Mengsk could also utilize a bombardment of 20 to 40 tactical missiles followed by a nuclear missile.[1]

Game Effect[]

Tactical missiles are available to Arcturus Mengsk in Co-op Missions. They are built from royal academies , and are fired by Emperor's Shadows. They deal 150 damage to enemies in an area, and 350 to structures. They can be upgraded to have no cast time.

With the Nuclear Annihilation ability, Mengsk fires 20 tactical missiles (40 at Mengsk Level 13) in a target area, followed by a nuclear missile.
