The radius depends on the quantity in the stack, with a single shell covering a 11.9 tile radius, and expanding this radius proportional to the square root of the stack size times 0.4 up to a maximum radius of {{#expr: 11.9+((24*0.4)^0.5) round 2}} tiles at a full stack of 25. |

Because of this, it finds really good value even though it deals no physical damage whatsoever. |
| − | + | Due to its large blast radius, only a few shells are usually required for each barrage to hit all enemies. Given that, as well as its combat effectiveness, it is a very cost-efficient choice, despite requiring components to make. | |
The radius from an exploding EMP shell is significantly larger than that of a fired EMP shell. Depending on the purpose, placing a single shell and causing it to explode may be more efficient than firing it from a mortar. | The radius from an exploding EMP shell is significantly larger than that of a fired EMP shell.
