Usage

The antigrain warhead is incredibly useful for clearing large numbers of enemies, and it's rarity adds urgency to its use. As opposed to the regular inaccuracy that applies to mortars, the incredible size of the blast radius will render most creatures dead, with many of their limbs dismembered. Any survivors left despite the blast will be downed and missing limbs themselves. The examples on the side show the effects of a warhead in use to defend against an overwhelming number of Tribals.
