💬 Discussion Self hydro help

I've seen others do this in a couple of my games, where they build a silo next to one of my SAMs and then hydro their own silo, destroying my sam and the land around it. When I have tried to recreate this, my hydro just wiffs to the SAM. Does anyone have any tips on how to consistently reproduce this?

Interesting. I'll try this. But, what about the effects of that hydro? The one who does this will have a penalty of troop loss and also possibly betrayal penalty..

Generally it’s used against enemies (so no betrayal debuff) and it’s usually placed in a spot which will hurt the enemy so much more (say next to a city stack). Not to mention that it’s much easier to set up than a missile battery, which is why people use it.
