Usage[]
The Transmitter is good choice when fighting stronger variants like a Telepath, a Technopath, or a Phantom, making the battle with them much easier. Hitting a Telepath's Mind-Controlled Humans will cause them to fall unconscious,
It is also capable of preventing a Weaver from using its Backlash ability, thus making them extremely vulnerable and combat with them very easy. This is known to be an effective strategy early in the game without the Psychoshock ability purchased. It can also temporarily disable your own abilities, so stay clear of the blast radius.
