To use a Doomsday Weapon as a conventional weapon required extremely stringent, difficult-to-manufacture special Energy Core functions, and it also placed tremendous demands on every aspect of the carrying vessel's performance.
Only Dominator-Class War Fleet groups could make such strikes routine.
Just as Wizard Civilization possessed only a limited number of Dominator-class Beings, the Galente Federation's Dominator-Class War Fleet groups were equally rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

However, in the vast majority of cases, those Level-6 Creatures' attacks had been single-target strikes, allowing them to maximize their destructive force when facing opponents of
