The point defense drone (PDD)[1] is a defensive device deployed by the raven. It is constructed onboard through hundreds of thousands of AI-operated nanomachines.[2] The drone uses lasers to accurately intercept many types of enemy weapon fire.[1]
Gameplay
The drone intercepts missiles and projectiles fired by certain enemy units and buildings. According to the in-game description of the point-defense laser it is effective against marauders, vikings, banshees, battlecruisers, thors, missile turrets, stalkers, phoenixes, photon cannons, queens, mutalisks, corruptors, hydralisks, and spore crawlers.
Its defensive abilities use up 10 energy per shot. Units like vikings and phoenixes that attack twice or more per cycle will drain 10 energy for each of its individual attacks (i.e. 1 viking attack consists of 2 missiles. 20 energy would be consumed to intercept both attacks).
Deploys a drone which intercepts missiles and projectile shots, such as those fired by missile turrets. It cannot stop special attacks.
