Air Strike

The Air Strike is a weapon in the Worms series.

Description
With the Air Strike, 5 bombs get dropped at the position and from the direction provided by the user. This weapon is fairly easy to use, because it can easily hit any enemy worm which is not protected. An enemy player can easily avoid being hit by an Air Strike, by hiding under cover or placing a repelling magnet close to himself.

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.

Incoming!

''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 Worms

Tactics

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