The Basilisk is an LRPC (Long-Range Plasma Cannon) that can shoot targets across the map. Its shells are devastating vs. formations of tightly-packed units (157 AoE), and inflict more damage overall than their Armada counterpart. However, they also fire slower (16s), and require slightly more space to build.

Each shot costs 6,000 energy.

It becomes a priority target when built, so make sure you keep it safe. It can also be countered by Overseers, but at a high energy cost to your enemy.

Spotting an LRPC triggers a unique ingame warning message for the spotting team.

LRPCs also make good naval gun batteries, outranging any ship or amphibious unit. They're an asset for reclaiming sea territory.
