Arc Emitter Missile Carrier is a crazy strong build that is very effective against the AI's. A complete and up-to-date searchable list of all Stellaris. The advantage of the Arc Emitter is a 10% higher base accuracy. Stellaris Dev Diary #312 - 3. The advantage of the Arc Emitter is a 10% higher base accuracy. I don't know what or where things went wrong, but I tried giving the new patch a chance. 4 Torpedoes; 4. Disruptors are spectacular when paired with cloud lightning or arc emitters and in large numbers, however by itself it is terrible. Arc Emitter + Cloud = Poor range and performance on the Cloud Lightning, they actually deal half the damage per weapon slot compared to Disruptors Arc Emitter + Disruptor = Terrible range of 40, and the shortest range computer on battleships (Line) only advances to medium range (50) which is a notable damage loss on targets which don't. So for this reason disruptors, arc emitters, and cloud lightning can work quite well. Arc emitter + Cloud lightning/disruptor battleships are the best counters for both of the above. The Arc Emitter is probably the single best X-slot weapon with its vicious alpha strike. So that’s 2M damage per week. The only time this reverses is against the Unbidden.
