Boom Mine

"The Boom Mine stops the enemy in their tracks! Its armor piercing blast does double damage to tanks."

---

• Summary
  • Boom Mines have the same function as normal Mines, but they deal much more damage, and double to tanks.
  • Boom Mines deal splash damage within a very small range.

---

• Offensive Strategy
  • Do not let your Troops (especially your most valuable ones) step on a Boom Mine, as they are very deadly! However, if your Troops have at least 1 tile spacing, the Boom Mine will only destroy 1 of them.
  • An Artillery or Barrage can be used to trigger Boom Mines before deploying troops.

---

• Defensive Strategy
  • Place Boom Mines away from normal Mines and other Boom Mines, as they are capable of dealing with a group of troops alone.
  • Having some distance between Boom Mines can also prevent attackers from triggering all of them through a Barrage.
  • Hiding your Mines/Boom Mines behind Magma Masterpieces' heads, trees, and tall buildings such as Sniper Towers, the Sawmill, and Quarry can make them a surprise to your attacker and help you win your defense.

---

• Upgrade Differences
  • The Boom Mine does not change appearance when upgraded; the only difference is increased damage.

---

• Trivia
  • When the Headquarters is destroyed, all the buildings except Mines and Boom Mines explode.
  • Boom Mines cause a cloud of smoke when triggered.
  • Ice Statues will not increase the Boom Mine's damage.
