− | == Analysis == | + | Due to it's random nature and it's slow speed it is not very effective against non stationary targets. It's best use is against enemy bases, enemy [[siege]]s or [[Mechanoid cluster]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}. Over all, this is a very weak and unpredictable super weapon - a doomsday rocket would be preferable in just about every scenario. |

Additionally, with a potentially long duration, the tornado can traverse significant distances, and thus should not be used on your home tile unless you are willing to risk damaging your own base or you have a mountain base. | Additionally, with a potentially long duration, the tornado can traverse significant distances, and thus should not be used on your home tile unless you are willing to risk damaging your own base or you have a mountain base. | ||
