Advantages & Disadvatages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Can disable robots for a good amount of time at higher levels, allowing its users an easy escape or free hits.
• Will not affect artifacts carried or worn by its user.
• Has a fairly large radius at higher levels, allowing its users to affect large numbers of enemies at a time.
• Has a fairly low cost at character generation.

Disadvantages

• Has no effect against organic enemies not using artifacts, making it less useful in the early game.
• An EMP grenade mk I or its mk II and mk III variants can achieve a similar effect.
