Mechaincal planet how do i fire it

[Nickelodeon]

Title says it all

[koimeiji]

Build a catalyst on every catalyst spot (signified by the blue squared)

You need 5 in total.

Then, drop down the system list (top right corner, the down arrow) and select "fire annihilaser" and then select your target.

Thank you

The Death Star is now in range.

[koimeiji]

Note that there is no cooldown and there is no price (besides the catalysts themselves) for firing an annihilaser.

Once you have it, you can fire it as many times as you want, as quickly as you want (not including the time it takes to rotate the planet)

[Jessica]

Yeah, it's a superweapon with no cooldown, once you have it, you can kill EVERYONE. You can even destroy an incoming planet smash. OP anyone?

[SurpriseTree]

If you sit there and let your opponent build it then you deserve to get annihilasered.

If you try everything to stop them and fail, they could've taken you out in a dozen other ways by now and you should be grateful that you're still alive and have the chance to snipe their commander before they finish the construction.

Basically, it's a game ender designed to take out even the most well-defended turtle.

[Jessica]

Yeah, it's the stalemate breaker. It is, however, very easy to fortify the metal planet to such an extent that you would almost never get invaded. It is, however, possible to counter the catalyst with multiple direct nuclear strikes.

true

Nukes. Nuke it. It takes a LONG LONG time to make the death star. Nukes are easy to spam. SO easy.

Nukes can be a huge resource drain, so you have to be in a good position to be able to spam them.

I actually think the unit cannons are a great way to kill catalysts. It's hard to fully defend all 5 control points.

[Jessica]

Unit cannons can be countered by umbrellas.

Once they reach the ground, though, the umbrellas can't target them.

2 umbrellas near a catalyst will take out maybe 40% of a single unit cannon's salvo. The other 60% that land have free reign to kill the umbrellas and catalyst before any patrolling/massed combat units come in to take them out.

Pair that with 5 unit cannons launching each of their salvos to each catalyst, and it's very effective.


Far more effective than SXX or nukes.

[Jessica]

IMO, people generally spam anti-nuke and umbrellas around the catalysts, and in some cases around the entire planet.

I would like anti nuke laser system. Or an ion cannon that can hit a moving nuke in space. Or maybe that would be "overpowered".......? You can SEE the nuke travelling in space. Not like its invisible.
