Changes: Ballista Tower

Revision as of 15:04, 4 August 2015

Ballista Tower, level 1

The Ballista Tower (Cannon Tower starting at level 4) fires a huge spear-like projectile that does overwhelming damage to siege weapons. Although it takes a while to reload and cannot shoot units next to it, the ballista tower deals out massive damage with each shot.

General Assessment

Strengths

Great against siege weapons

Weaknesses

Cannot attack units in close proximity. Try grouping with Crossbow Towers.
Slow firing speed, which allows fast units, such as Cavalry, to get up close.

Tactics

Placing ballista towers near areas of wall that are vulnerable to siege weapons is a great way to utilize their power.
