'''Energy Weapons''' are [[weapons]] that don't utilize Ammo, unlike [[Ballistic Weapons]] and [[Missiles]], and instead utilize different forms of energy/matter to deal damage.

===Strengths of Energy Weapons===
* Very Accurate
* No ammo concerns
* Can transfer heat to enemy units

===Weaknesses of Energy Weapons===
* High heat
* Not as much damage as Ballistic Weapons
* Shorter Range

==Energy Weapons in MWLL==
* [[Lasers]]
* [[Particle Projection Cannons]]
* [[Flamer]]

-In order to deal the same amount of damage as other weapon types, Energy weapons produce much more [[heat]]. The longer the range of almost any given energy weapon, the more heat it generates.

-'''Energy Weapons''' are [[weapons]] include numerous kinds of [[lasers]], mundane conventional weapons like [[Flamer]]s, and more exotic weapons like [[PPC]]s. Energy weapons differ from [[Ballistic]] and [[Missile]] weapons in that energy weapons do not utilize a solid projectile, but instead utilize amplified light, concentrated blasts of ions or protons, or a combusting fuel.

Instead they discharge amplified light, concentrated blasts of ions or protons, or a combusting fuel.
-One advantage of all [[Energy weapons]] is that they do not need ammunition, which enables longer effective operating times in many circumstances. Main downside of energy weapons is the increased [[heat]] buildup that threatens the well-being of heat sinks and the asset itself.
+===Strengths===
-Note that laser damage displayed in the table below is the maximum damage possible. This assumes that the laser in question has been focused on a target for the full length of its beam duration.

-Flame [[damage type]] doesn't really do damage against ground assets, but if you can manage to hit an air unit with a [[Flamer]], it will do decent damage.
