Build them to defend your land structures against naval attacks.

It cannot attack land and air units, however, it is equipped with its own sonar.

Disguised as a block of DT (Dragon's Teeth), this turret pops up to attack when enemies get close. Extremely effective at guarding chokepoints due to its AoE weaponry, and nigh-impossible to dislodge with artillery when popped down. Its fiery streams decimate weaker units and quickly wear down even medium tanks.

It literally appears as Dragon's Teeth to enemies when popped down, so mixing it in with DT can help surprise enemies.

It's low enough to hide behind DT while the teeth block direct fire, enhancing survivability. Bunker them into clusters of teeth and use chokepoints to kill even massed tank assaults.

‍

The SAM is a medium-range anti-air missile battery that can shoot down most Tech 1 aircraft.

Useful even against Tech 2 units thanks to its reasonable costs and quick build time.

It has more health than the Thistle, and its hardened exterior makes it difficult for air units destroy it.

The Coral is a floating heavy laser tower that can be built on water.

Build it to defend your naval base against hovercraft and light naval units.

Despite its long-range and heavy damage, it is hopeless when built alone. So remember to pair it with other defensive structures.

The Janitor is a floating anti-air missile battery that can shoot down most Tech 1 aircraft.

Useful even against Tech 2 units thanks to its reasonable costs and quick build time.

It has more health than the Slingshot and it's great for protecting your naval base from early air raids.

Build it on your front line to out-range and take out enemy laser towers.

Despite its long range and heavy damage, it is hopeless when built alone. Remember to support it with other defensive structures and units.

‍

The Juno can build and stockpile electromagnetic impulse missiles. The missiles have to be launched manually, and the area of effect lasts around 25 seconds.

Use them to destroy minefields, scout spam, radar units, and jammer units.

Beware that friendly units within range can also be destroyed by these missiles. Some units with radar/jammer abilities are not affected, such as Spy-bots.

The Eradicator is a bomb-resistant anti-air missile battery that can take down most aircraft.

Build them around your base to defend it from enemy aircraft.

It’s more expensive than the Thistle and SAM, but also has the most health, range, and damage.

The Agitator is a medium-range plasma artillery battery with a large AoE. It can switch between low and high trajectory mode, allowing it to directly target units or bombard those behind obstacles.

Build it once you have your front line established to push back your enemy.

Being quite expensive in T1, it's less useful as a defensive weapon than it is an offensive sniping tool. Position it to destroy frontline Metal Extractors, Radar Towers, Jammers, and Construction Turrets to deny support to your enemy.

Use scouts, frontline radar towers and Beholders to spot targets.

T1 artillery batteries are powerful, but will tie your resources down considerably. Consider Reclaiming them once no more easy targets are in reach.

The Fortification Wall is an advanced defensive wall that blocks most Tech 1/Tech 2 units and low-altitude projectiles.

Use them to funnel enemies into a choke point or to block a path.

They can also be used to help protect your laser towers and will take quite a beating before they break. Advanced walls have almost four times the health of a basic Dragon’s Teeth, and are great when used against Alien Raptors and Scavengers.

The Scorpion is a pop-up sabot battery that has high damage and range for a relatively low cost.

Switch it off when targeted to soak up huge amonts of damage.

Its ability to hide makes it a great for taking enemy fire while your other units take out the attacking forces.

The Nemesis is an Intrusion Countermeasure System or "ICS" for short.

It's a motion detector that tracks hostile units in its range that have stealth and are cloaked.

_‍_The ICS does NOT reveal stealth units on your radar. Instead, visual red circles constantly ping their location, and an audio alert will notify you. Your forces won't automatically fire on these pings—you must manually attack ground, or move units to find the hidden enemies.

The ICS only pings when cloaked and stealth units are moving. Those who hold still will remain hidden.

It’s great for protecting your vulnerable buildings against stealthy attacks from Gremlins or stunning EMPs from spy bots, but be mindful of its high energy operating cost (-125/s).‍

Unlike radar, the ICS uses 'seismic' vibrations, which means it's range is NOT blocked by terrain. You can safely build it behind natural barriers for protection.

Also great for protecting your Prevailer against stealthy EMP attacks.

The Birdshot is a short-range anti-air flak gun that deals high damage with a large area of effect (AoE).

Build them around strategic points and on your front line.

It can shatter most aircraft within its range.

The Naval Birdshot is a short-range anti-air gun that deals high damage with a large area of effect (AoE) and can be built on water.

Build them around strategic points and to protect your naval base from air raids.

It can shatter most aircraft within its range.

The Lamprey is an advanced torpedo launcher that targets ships and submarines within its range.

Build them to defend against naval attacks.

It cannot attack land and air units, however, it is equipped with its own sonar.

The Catalyst is a tactical missile launcher that obliterates most units within its blast radius.

If you self-destruct it as a last resort, the explosion is almost as powerful as a nuclear missile.

They’re great for rendering enemy defenses useless before an assault, and for destroying advancing units while you build a quick reaction force to combat them.

The Devastator is a floating plasma and beam laser turret platform that can be built on the water.

Useful for defending naval bases against light to medium naval units.

Its extended weaponry makes it a formidable defensive structure.

The Prevailer is a nuclear missile defense system that will shoot down incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Build a Nemesis nearby to detect cloaked EMP units before they can disable it.

It has a large radar range to protect your base and nearby surroundings from nuclear attacks. Each defensive missile takes around 90 seconds to build.

The Screamer's extremely long-range missiles easily destroys most aircraft before they even get close to your base. Unlike other AA, it builds its missiles over time for a cost in resources.

Build these formidable launchers later in a match to defend your base from strategic bombers.

It can also be build on an extended front line to slowly dismantle the enemy's ''fighter wall''.

Its missile deals 750 damage in a huge radius, almost TRIPLE that of flak cannons, easily taking out multiple aircraft at once. It can build 1 missile every 13 seconds if you have the energy needed, and stocks up to 5 missiles in total. Each missile costs 1800 energy to be build—notably less than most aircraft.

Its missiles can be baited out by cheap air units like scouts.

You may want to set them to Return Fire or Hold Fire to preserve their shots.

‍

The Persecutor is pop-up plasma artillery battery.

Build on a hill to take advantage of extended range.

It can protect your front line from enemy artillery units and when set to a high-trajectory it shoots slower, but also deals more area of effect (AoE) damage.

The Bulwark is a sturdy multi-weapon tower with three laser cannons of short to long range, allowing it to attack almost any target truly long-range artillery. It's tall enough to shoot over other defenses and units. The Bulwark's generous damage and thick armor makes it an effective focal point against enemy pushes, but make sure to keep it well supported.

Excels at dealing with swarms, but can also outrange even Mausers and Sharpshooters.

When threatened, the Bulwark can be turned to the OFF state, causing it to retract its weapons and bunker down into its armored shell, nearly quadrupling its effective HP. This helps it survive concentrated fire until it can be repaired.

Consider using Dragon's Teeth or Fortification Walls to funnel enemies near the Bulwark so it can use its full Damage Output.

‍

The Overseer is a shield generator that deflects plasma artillery and can take a lot of damage before going down.

Build a few around your base to protect it from early artillery barrages.

Beware that shields do not deflect other units weaponry such as bombs, lasers, or missiles.

The Basilica is a long-range plasma cannon that can shoot targets across the map.

Build them to take out enemy structures from far away.

It becomes a priority target when built, so make sure you keep it safe. It can also be countered by Overseers, but at a high energy cost to your enemy.

The Apocalypse is a nuclear missile launcher and is useful for turning enemy bases and whole armies into ashes.

Use Catalysts or Spectres to temporarily disable anti-nukes and strike uncovered areas.

Nukes can be countered by anti-nukes, but can still overwhelm them in large numbers.

The Calamity is a rapid-fire long-range plasma cannon and is the ultimate weapon of mass-destruction.

It’s a primary target once built, so be ready to defend it.

It takes a lot of resources to build, but when it’s ready you’re almost guaranteed to win the match.
