Overview

Towers are the primary defense for the Base, being placed on the board using MoneyIconMoney and attacking enemies in-range. They can be bought in their respective shops using XP , GoldGold, or StreetCredStreetCred. There are currently 32 Towers in-game, with them being split into five different classes: Ruby, Amethyst, Hybrid, Void, and Guardian.

All classes, with the exception of Guardians, share the concept of a Mastery form. This is the quintessential upgrade of any Tower, though only one of each Tower can possess it. Towers have a global placement limit of 100; this limit decreases the more players there are, and in Endless, the placement limit is removed.

Rubies

The Ruby Tribe focuses on high damage output. They are also the only tribe to use fire as their main defense, but this isn't the case for all members.
