The Magnetic Mine offers the Terran Reaper the firepower necessary to overcome unlikely odds, adding to the latter’s versatility. Attaching itself to its target, the Magnetic Mine will eventually explode after a short countdown, but it can also be diffused by the enemy in time to prevent it from going off. It can deal damage in a small area of effect, meaning it is equally devastating to structures as it is to strong opponents like the Thor or the Protoss Colossus and, more importantly, gathered enemy units.
