Subterranean strike is a support power that causes large drills to unburrow at the target location, dealing massive damage to enemies on the surface. While it requries less support points and has a wider range then Tiberium Vein Detonation, it is mostly used to kill infantry (Mostly large groups of Engineers that some defence players use to keep their buildings at full health) and to finish off badly damaged vehicles. Players can unlock the achievement Power Tools by dealing a certain amount of damage with this power.
