The [[Eos]] does 3500 damage with a small blast radius, aim for points where multiple buildings touch to apply this damage to more than one building. If there are bigger clusters of structures, the [[Inferno]] can be used as it has a much bigger area of effect. |

If the shields are slightly below full charge, the [[Eos]] can pass through them as well. Shields can be circumvented by either stunning or weakening them before firing the remaining missiles. For a successful stun, first scout all aegis and then use Shockleys to stun them, keep the small <abbr title="area of effect">AOE</abbr> of the Shockley in mind. Multiple stuns might be needed to deactivate all shields if they are spread out. Alternatively, an Eos can be used to weaken all shields in a shield network. After firing one Eos, any following Eos will pass freely through the shields, as long as the shield get a few seconds to equalize their charges. |
− | + | Terraform can be flattened by the use of a [[Quake]] missile. Those have a high trajectory, so you have to target them at the terraform. They don't pass through shields, even at low charge. Alternatively, the AOE of the Eos or Inferno can be used to do damage through terrain. | |

The trajectory of the Shockley and Quake missiles is much higher than that of the Inferno and Eos. This results in longer flight time and allows them to mostly ignore terrain. | The trajectory of the Shockley and Quake missiles is much higher than that of the Inferno and Eos.

− | + | Make sure to account for the additional flight time of those missiles. Firing them at the same time as low-trajectory ones will result in Inferno or Eos reaching the target before the defenses are stunned or the terrain is smoothed. | |
− | Firing multiple | + | Firing multiple in quick succession is often preferable to firing them simultaneously. Repair is compensated by a small extra damage over the stated values. When the enemy has multiple shields, a small delay between missiles ensures that the damage is spread over all shields. This way, the other shields can't block the remaining missiles as they would if the missiles were fired simultaneously. |
