==Summary==
 
The Javelin Missile is essentially an upgraded [[Rocket Missile]]. Along with having higher Crew Damage, the Javelin Missile also has a bit of damage called AP or Armor Piercing. This damage is only added alongside normal System damage. What makes AP Damage special is the fact that [[Armor]] or [[Small Beacon]]s cannot debuff the damage. It basically works like this, System Damage*(Armor Debuff) + AP Damage.
 
 
==Strategies==
 
----
 
===The ([[File:JavelinMissile6.png|link=|55x55px]] + [[File:JavelinMissile6.png|link=|55x55px]]) Combo:===
 
 
This is basically the only strategy with the Javelin Missile. The strategy involves focusing firing a single room to achieve results. This can be a quick way to do alot of Crew and System Damage without worrying about the [[Shield Generator]]. You should also pair weapons with this combo to make the destruction easier and faster.

==[[AI|AI Tips]]==
 
The [[Missile Launcher]] AI for the Javelin Missile is essentially the same as the Rocket Missile and any other Missile that has no special ability. If you pair the Javelin Missile with other weapons, you should utilize the Active Shield AI to take out the Shields along with helping focus fire. (Fill in the ? with your room of choice.).
