Good When Paired With Another Stratagem

Tier Rating	B Tier

Alone, the Orbital EMS is just meant to temporarily stagger advancing forces. It works well when paired with an AoE stratagem like the Cluster Bomb or Airburst Strike.

How to Use Orbital EMS Strike

Throw on to Enemies

The Orbital EMS Strike will bring down its devastating firepower at the location you signal it to after 2 Seconds of throwing it.

Note that although this type of Stratagem is easy to use, it is also quite easy to mess it up. Avoid throwing the signal close to you or any of your squad mates to prevent friendly fire.
