Strategy
Large Boulders makes a wall of rocks in front of your missile bay, making it hard for your opponent to hit you, and destroying midrow objects in a wide area. It's very efficient at sheer population of the midrow. Note that this includes your own, so it can be hard to fit your own drones when you're also playing this card, and you may find your own firing lanes obstructed too. Very nice with Gravel Recycler and Salvage Arm.
Its A upgrade makes it reusable, which is mainly something you'd want in a deck that's looking to abuse Gravel Recycler and Salvage Arm.
Its B upgrade instead widens the area of effect, launching an impressive 5 objects in one card. Hiding behind this will generally give you one safe turn even in the fiercest of fights, though it will often hamper your own offense unless the enemy quickly clears it.
