The Xyston strikes distant aircraft with its penetrating railgun, potentially skewering multiple targets in a single shot. Unlike equivalent long-range AA, it does not need to stockpile its shots. It is a powerful tool for blunting incoming air assaults or picking off aircraft from extreme range.

It fires 2 shots 0.20s apart at 700 damage each lin a line 100 AoE wide, with a 5s reload time.

The Xyston can see air units at 2,400 range, and thus does not need Targeting Facilities like most precision weapons.

Despite not needing to stockpile shots, it still costs considerable energy to fire. Keep an eye on your reserves!
