Air Strike

Air Strike is a weapon in the Worms series.

Description
Once used, 5 bombs are dropped at the location and from the direction provided by the user. This weapon is fairly easy to use, because it can easily hit any enemy Worm in open air. However, the opponent can easily avoid being hit by an Air Strike, by hiding under cover or placing a repelling Electromagnet close to their Worm.

Each bomb does up to 30 points of damage. The bombs will explode as soon as they come in contact with anything solid. The bombs cause only small explosions, so the Air Strike's ground penetration is negligible.

''The Airstrike is a great weapon for attacking quite large areas of landscape. It also provides a method for a sure-fire kill if the enemy is out in the open when sudden death begins.''

Each missile can achieve a maximum of 30 points of damage.

2D games
Simply choose where the Air Strike will land, and choose whether the Air Strike will come from the left or from the right.

3D games
First, use Blimp View to target the desired location, then press the Fire Button. It's also possible to fire Air Strikes from first person view, but this is not recommended.

Tactics

 * The player can easily avoid being hit by an Air Strike by either seeking cover, or placing a repelling Electromagnet next to their Worm.
 * The Air Strike is most effective when there are several enemy Worms at the same position, since it can cause damage to each.
