HQ kill: direct hits on the middle of an HQ of the missile's own tier, every warhead counted. The square in the blast column is that HQ (40 studs a side), the dashed ring the full-damage core.

About missiles

A missile of tier N unlocks at HQ N. Each tier has a light missile (faster, shorter reload, smaller blast) and a heavy one that hits about 1.8 times as hard over a wider area. Light missiles fly 212 to 320 studs a second and reload in 22 to 40 seconds; heavy ones 188 to 260 studs a second with 33 to 60 second reloads. Try any of them on a real island in the blast calculator.

Questions

What is the strongest missile in World of Nukes?

Orbital Strike: 4.5M damage and a 66 stud blast for $2T, unlocked at rebirth 9. Without rebirths it's Neutron at tier 10: 2.7M damage, 57 studs, $1.1B, and it takes 29 direct hits to destroy an HQ 10.

How does blast damage work?

Anything within 40% of the blast radius takes full damage. Past that it drops in a straight line to 25% at the rim, and nothing outside the circle is hit. Distance is measured to the nearest edge of a building, so big buildings are easier to catch.

Which missile does the most damage per dollar?

Basic Missile: 0.6 damage per $1. Then Flea (0.37) and Viper (0.15). The worst is Neutron at 0.002.

What do MIRV missiles do?

Titan splits into 3, Trident splits into 4, Armageddon splits into 6. Each warhead does 50% of the damage with 80% of the radius: one lands on the target and the rest spread in a ring about 1.3 blast radii out.

Can the Iron Dome stop every missile?

No. Orbital Strike is dome-proof. Every other missile can be shot down.

What does the Bunker Buster do?

It hits with the damage of the light missile of your tier and does x3 to HQs and defenses, with a small 8 stud blast. It costs $990K and unlocks at tier 6.
