In addition to +2 pierce to both its Hydra missiles and explosions, it gains the Rocket Storm ability~~. When activated~~, it creates persistent waves of purple missiles that move erratically and deal high damage but low pierce.

=== Rocket Storm ===

When the Rocket Storm Ability is activated, this Dartling unleashes a wave of 10 missiles that are launched every 0.5 seconds, for up to 7.5 seconds. It does not interrupt the main Hydra missile attack. Each of these ability missiles are shot within 90° spread (36° with 1-4-0), have random angular offsets, and travel in a serpentine motion ~~while travelling.~~ Explosions deal 5 damage and +1 Ceramic damage over a radius of 8 (12 with 0-4-2) and have 8 pierce (12 with 0-4-2)~~. The rate of launching waves of missiles is affected by attack speed modifiers~~.

When the Rocket Storm Ability is activated, this Dartling unleashes a wave of 10 missiles that are launched immediately and every 0.5 seconds, for up to 7.5 seconds. The rate of launching waves of missiles is affected by attack speed modifiers. This attack does not interrupt the main Hydra missile attack. Each of these ability missiles are shot within 90° spread (36° with 1-4-0), have random angular offsets, and travel in a serpentine motion. Explosions deal 5 damage and +1 Ceramic damage over a radius of 8 (12 with 0-4-2) and have 8 pierce (12 with 0-4-2).

The Rocket Storm ability is duration-based, and therefore cannot be re-activated while it's already running. Like most abilities, Rocket Storm ability is greyed out at the ~~end of a round~~, only un-greyed once the round begins. This ability has a cooldown of 45 seconds.

The Rocket Storm ability is duration-based, and therefore cannot be re-activated while it's already running. Like most abilities, Rocket Storm ability is greyed out during the break between rounds, only un-greyed once the next round begins. This ability has a cooldown of 45 seconds.
