==Tactics==
*The Orbital Laser has a rapid deployment rate, typically less than a second for the beam to start up. Once it starts firing, it will remain active for the next 30 seconds. The laser leaves a brief trail of fire as it moves around, which can continue to burn both friend and foe alike.
*The laser penetrates all manner of armor, including buildings. It can demolish anything from structures, to superheavies like Bile Titans and Factory Striders. Do note that it may take the entire duration of the beam to destroy a single target such as a Charger.
**Since it operates in a small area, it is also handy for shutting down bug breaches and bot drops.
*The laser will automatically target the largest unit near the stratagem beacon and will focus on it, until it runs out, or is the target destroyed. When its original target is destroyed, it will attempt to move to a nearby enemy (also prioritizing the largest one), burning anything along its path to get to them.
**Note that the Super Destroyer crew does not care who is between their next target, whether its enemies of Liberty, or her servants, like other Helldivers or civilians. Be careful when deploying it near friendly units. If they associate too closely with the enemy, they may be suspected as sympathizers.
*The Orbital Laser only has 3 uses per deployment and cannot be replenished once expended. Consider only using them to take out priority targets, or in the most dire of circumstances.
