Plasma Cannon

Overview

The plasma cannon is a compact weapon system that is non-volatile and easy to build, but also expensive. It shoots balls of plasma at varying velocities that ignore gravity and is highly effective against dense clusters of blocks and armour. It uses both energy and ammo to operate. Due to the versatility of its configurations, plasma is an "all-rounder" type of weapon that can be tailored to your needs.

Plasma slowly loses damage over distance in the air and rapidly loses damage over distance in water. Time does not contribute to damage loss, only distance.

Plasma cannot be shot down by CIWS or LAMS, and planar shields are the only active defense that reduces the damage dealt by plasma.
