 ==History==
 *Prior to [[0.29]], Airstrike dealt <code>5 + M + Md[2 + (power)/7]/M</code> damage, for M = empty tiles, 3 minimum. This meant the empty space bonus  was significantly weaker, for both players and monsters.
 *Prior to [[0.27]], Airstrike dealt 50% bonus damage to [[flying]] targets.

 Airstrike is a useful spell for its smite-targeted, irresistible damage. [[Air Elementalist]]s can use it to kill electric-resistant enemies like [[sky beast]]s (among other things). Summoners can use Airstrike to attack behind their summons.
-The empty space bonus is very substantial. You might get around 2d5 base damage when first casting this spell - going from 2d5 to 2d21 is a huge boost. Since the open space bonus is unaffected by power, even low-power Airstrikes have good damage. Don't be afraid to snipe weaker enemies in a cramped space, but take advantage of open space as much as possible.
+Most of this spell's damage comes from the empty space bonus. At moderate levels of power, Airstrike deals 2d5 base damage, but 2d21 damage with 8 empty spaces - a huge boost. Since the empty space bonus is unaffected by spell power, even a low power Airstrike will deal good damage. Don't be afraid to snipe weaker enemies in a cramped space, but take advantage of empty space as much as possible.
 ===Tips & Tricks===
-*Early Air Elementalists may have to worry about MP, since [[Shock]] and [[Static Discharge]] are more mana efficient. However, the increased damage per turn (especially in open spaces) eventually outweighs these cons.
+*If there's little/no open space around the opponent, Shock and Static Discharge will be more efficient to cast.
 *Airstrike's targeter will treat any space outside of [[LOS]] as solid, to avoid leaking information (as a wall/monster ''could'' be there). If the space is empty, though, you still get the space bonus.
