The Microwave Blaster is the artillery unit of Tomorrow Era. It is the fastest artillery unit in the game. It is built in a Microwave Blaster Factory. It can also be received by completing the The Slick Businessman and Business Proposals Story Quests.

Unlike previous artillery units, the Microwave Blaster has a much smaller range, but rather fast movement. It has the lowest attack, but moderate defense and has good bonuses against heavy units and a small bonus against ranged units in the Tomorrow Era.

It has the special ability Heat, which reduces the enemy target's attack 20% and colors them red (however it is 20% of the original attack value) and the ability Blast, which gives an attack bonus for each field closer to target and ignores stealth.

Usage[]

The Microwave Blaster is arguably a less useful unit, due to a decrease in range, though the good increase in attack and defense and bonuses on plains may mean that they are somewhat stronger, but they are still very vulnerable to fast units with the Flying ability and light units with the Rapid Deployment ability as they can both target them before the Microwave Blaster can counterattack.

Against Same Age Units[]

Light Unit Ultra AP[]

The Microwave Blaster is generally weak against the Ultra AP, due to their bonuses against artillery and their Rapid Deployment ability, though they have the lowest defense, movement and range in the Tomorrow Era, which means that the Microwave Blaster can often avoid their shots and kill them in two or three attacks. The Ultra AP is generally not a big issue for the Microwave Blaster if they are eliminated quickly.

Heavy Unit Stealth Tank[]

The Microwave Blaster is strong against the Stealth Tank, as they possess not only strong bonuses against heavy units, but also the Blast ability to ignore their Stealth ability. The Microwave Blaster may be limited in attack and defense, but they are arguably the best solution against Stealth Tanks.

Fast Unit Combat Drone[]

Once again, the Microwave Blaster cannot attack the Combat Drone due to the Combat Drone’s Flying ability. Avoid using Microwave Blasters in presence of Combat Drones.

Ranged Unit Anti-Materiel Sniper[]

The Microwave Blaster is theoretically strong against ranged units, though on the practice, the very long range of the Anti-Materiel Sniper (longer than that of the Microwave Blaster’s) means that generally, the Anti-Materiel Sniper has an advantage over them.
