Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Electric weapons damage (research) affects the damage of electric weapons and combat robots.

Thresholds

Note: The values in this table are approximate. The Tesla turret's chain lightning bounces between nearby targets, so the number of hits per activation varies with enemy positioning and movement. The table below shows the number of Tesla turret activations required to destroy each enemy at each level of Electric weapons damage (research). The Tesla turret fires a chain lightning bolt that bounces between nearby targets; against multi-segment enemies (Big Strafer, Big Stomper) each activation can hit multiple legs sharing one HP pool.

Note: Big Stomper values are approximate. The Tesla bolt hits 3-5 of its 5 legs per activation depending on positioning; the table uses a 4-hit average. Actual activations may vary by ±2.
