The blast applies this figure through IonCannonWarhead with no source, so the warhead’s Verses table, its spread falloff and Immune=yes all apply and nothing is credited with the kills. The same figure sizes the light flash when that warhead is declared bright. A cell under a bridge is detonated twice at full strength, once at bridge height and once at ground level.
The value is read a second time by the computer’s target rating: a candidate earns its premium rating only while its current strength is at or below this figure, so raising the damage widens the set of objects the computer considers worth a strike as well as making the strike hurt more.
