The '''plasma mine''' is a type of [[Mine|landmine]] employed by the [[Banished]]. When called in, three mines are deployed from orbit to the ground. When deployed, the plasma mine is cloaked, and detonates when enemies are detected nearby. Upon detonation, the mine releases boiling plasma in the surrounding area.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Atriox - Leader power|Detail=Plasma Mines}}
 
==Overview==
Plasma mines are deployed from orbit to the ground. When deployed, the plasma mine is cloaked, and detonates when enemies are detected nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|plasmamine}} The plasma mine has a number of derivatives that employ the same casing, including the [[infused mine]],{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[Voridus]] - Leader power|Detail=Infused Mines|Quote=Activate to deploy a mine that leaves a large, long lasting pool of infusion upon detonation. Infusion pools slow and damage enemy ground units.}} the [[scorch mine]],{{Ref/Game|HW2|Atriox - Blitz card|Detail=Scorch Mines|Quote=Place mines that damage ground units with burning plasma.

==Operational history==
During the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Banished deployed cloaked plasma mines on the surface of [[Installation 00]] near the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''{{'}}s [[gravity lift]]. The plasma mines failed to deter UNSC forces, as [[UNSC Marine Corps|marine]] [[sniper]]s were able to detect the mines using their equipment.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Under The Dark}}

In ''Halo Wars 2'', Plasma Mines is a [[leader]] power exclusive to [[Atriox]]. When activated, three mines are deployed to the targeted location in a linear pattern; rotating the camera allows the player to rotate the pattern’s orientation. A second leader power, Counter Measures, automatically deploys plasma mines around newly-captured [[Power Node]]s. Each mine is cloaked shortly after being deployed, and will detonate when enemy ground units enter its proximity. The explosion damages nearby enemy units, then creates a pool of boiling plasma in the area (lasting approximately 40 seconds); enemy ground units in the pool continue take damage over time. In the campaign level ''[[Under The Dark]]'', the plasma mines do not leave behind a pool of plasma.

Plasma Mines are replaced by [[Scorch mine|Scorch Mines]] in [[Blitz]].  


In [[Blitz]], Plasma Mines are replaced by [[Scorch mine|Scorch Mines]], which leaves behind a pool of burning plasma for a much shorter duration.
