Its individual missiles are also significantly weaker than a normal missile. You need all four missiles hitting the enemy to deal a damage equal to the normal missile. The design is dividing the warheads of a single missile into four, so that there are 4missiles chasing your enemy at once. If one misses, the other three may still deal some damage, while when a normal missile misses, no damage is dealt.
