Line 10:
Yes, it seems that the designers put so much time into maxing out the "ultimate" factor of the ultimate attack that they forgot to actually make it usable. Maybe it [[You Require More Vespene Gas|requires too many resources]] to use, causing its allure of "awesome" to be lost as fast as your party's money. Maybe it requires some sort of bizarre set-up to enact, making your normal attacks and spells much easier to apply inside of battle.
Whatever the reason, it will get used once, as a test drive, and then never again. Yeah, it's awesome, but you've got a game to win here. Keep in mind, '''Awesome but Impractical''' is not [[Cool but Inefficient]], which is where something appears to be awesome, but has no real benefit to using. Sometimes Awesome but Impractical moves carry a situational advantage, or are so [[Difficult but Awesome]] that even highly skilled players have trouble using them... but they are indeed superior to the normal stuff. Sure, maybe that mini-nuke will [[Total Party Kill|irradiate and possibly kill your party]], but [[Godzilla Threshold|if you're in a big enough pinch, you may as well try it.]]
Mind you, if you care about doing cool stuff over winning, [[Tropes Are Not Bad|they can be quite fun]]. A [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|competitive player]] will never look at them twice; this can be one of the good things about being a [[Noob]].
