Usage
Missile Combos
Anti Crew (Scarlet Variant) [Support][Early-End Game]
+
- Advantages: Can deal a lot of System Damage and Crew Damage in a short period of time
- Disadvantages: Can be countered by Sprinklers.
- Additional Notes: Can bait repair Crew into burning rooms and damage them.
Fire Spam [Support][Mid-End Game]
+ +
- Advantages: Can deal substantial damage to Systems and Crew in a short period of time.
- Disadvantages: Can be countered with Sprinklers.
- Additional Notes: Requires a Multi Missile Launcher. At least 2 different rooms should be targetted in this combo. Otherwise, the third Missile will most likely be wasted due to how Fire Damage stacks on top of each other. Rooms that Crew tend to huddle in are the best targets for this combo.
Stun and Burn [Support][Mid-End Game]
+ + ( / )
- Advantages: The EMP Missile can disable Sprinklers, allowing the Scarlet Missile to deal much more damage. The EMP Missile can also be used separately to disable other rooms.
- Disadvantages: Hard to implement AI wise.
When To Use
The Scarlet Missile is by far the best damage dealing Missile the MSL/MML can use. If undisturbed, the fire lit by the Scarlet Missile deals the most damage out of all the other Missiles. The fire can cause great damage to both passing by or repair crew, and prevent them from repairing the room until the fire is put out.
AI
The AI equip command for the Scarlet Missile is relatively straightforward. Once the below AI equip command is in the Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher, it will automatically equip the Scarlet Missile during combat.
