In StarCraft II, ghosts maintain the ability to launch nukes. The laser pointer has been replaced with a blast footprint visible to the launching player;[5] however, the opponent sees only a red dot.[6]

Notes

Ghosts can call down nuclear strikes, dealing 300 damage + 200 vs buildings.[9]

The launching player sees a large red symbol on the target area[5] while the opponent only sees a red dot.[6] When the ghost is aiming the nuke, it will be "frozen", but it can still be given the order to "move away", which it will do the moment it is unfrozen.

  8. ↑ Is the Nuke still built at the Ghost Academy (which requires Barracks) and only requires the Factory, or is the situation different?

    Yes, those are the prerequisites. Karune, Tiger0211. 2009-04-09. Karune: Questions about the ghost (post 33). Battle.net StarCraft II General Discussion Forum. Accessed 2009-04-10.
  9. ↑ 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 Correction: The Nuke does 300 damage and an additional 200 towards buildings.

    The Ghost also costs 100 minerals and 200 gas, needing the prerequisite tech lab on the Barracks and Ghost Academy. It is considered a tier 1.5 unit, allowing it to come out very early for harassment and support.

    Even though the Nuke's damage has been reduced from the previous builds, it no longer requires supplies, costs only 100 minerals and 100 gas, and can be built at tier 2 with the prerequisite of the Factory.
