General

The Ilios Missile is a long-range weapon for carriers of the Spectre faction.

Strategy and Setup

Advantages

Unlike squadrons and spawners, this weapon cannot be avoided by shooting it down before it reaches the target and has no lengthy cooldown when taken out of commission. It is therefore a more reliable method of dealing damage.

Unlike most Tier 10 items, the Ilios missile can be equipped on Comandante Carrier, making it even more powerful relative to Capitol Carrier, as Tier 9 ships have much less hitpoints and shield defense.

Disadvantages

It's vulnerable to the Weapon Disrupted effect from Inferno Squadron, and still has slightly less range than most squadrons.

Trivia

  • DPS: 5,000 / 6,500 / 8,000 -> 7,000 / 8,500 / 10,000 (by level)
  • Range: 5,500 m -> 8,000 m
  • Projectile Range: 5,600 m -> 9,000 m
  • AoE Radius: 300 m -> 600 m
