Today we're looking at the crystal based missile system of the Midas Missile. It's available to levels 63 and up, no restrictions or limits attached to them. As usual we'll be seeing how it compares to the weapon in the same category both beneath it and above it level wise. As this is a crystal weapon we'll only be looking at crystal based in return.
Beneath it at level 51 is the Death Head missile with a straight damage of 48, a speed of 98, and the weapon ability of Splash at 2%. The Midas beats it out in straight damage, looses out in speed, and has a higher Splash percentage to it. It fires slower, but delivers a bigger boom with more collateral damage. Overall a solid upgrade.
Next up at level 73 we have the 57AM missile system. It has a straight damage of 62, speed of 96, and a Splash weapon ability at 6%. It has more straight damage than the Midas, has the same speed rating, and only has 1% more weapon ability. So really it packs a heavier straight punch but not a whole heck of a lot by way of upgrading the weapon ability.
So overall a solid weapon placed just where it should be solidly between the other two. It has some decent bang for the resource buck and the no restrictions or limits on it are nice to see. It's a pretty solid weapon all around and preforms as advertised.
