[edit] Arm Nuke

Main article: Arm Nuke

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]

Nuclear Strike
Acquisition Research time 60 seconds (to arm a silo)[7] Researched at Ghost academy[8][2] Requires Factory[9]	Usage Minerals 100[10][9] Gas 100[10][9] Duration 10[12] Hotkey N[11]
Notes
Ghosts can call down nuclear strikes, dealing 300 damage + 200 vs buildings.[9] An immortal will only take 10 damage, however, due to its hardened shields.[13] 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.
