Description

The Range Debuff is a debuff applied by enemies that decreases a tower's range. This debuff does not appear anywhere on the tower, though due to how it works, it will reduce the percentage of the Range Buff on the tower or remove the Range Buff icon entirely.

Mechanics

The Range Debuff effectively is just a negative Range Buff, best seen if a tower affected by it has a Range Buff. For example, if a tower with a 20% Range Buff receives a 15% Range Debuff, the Range Buff will get reduced to 5%. Similarly, if a tower receives a Range Debuff higher than its current Range Buff, the icon for it will be removed entirely. For example, if a tower with a 50% Range Buff will receive a 60% Range Debuff, the icon for the buff will disappear and the tower will end up with a 10% Range Debuff.

The range affected by the Range Debuff is calculated as:

Range × (1 - (Range Debuff - Range Buff))

where Range Debuff and Range Buff is the debuff supplied by the enemy in decimal form (for example, 10% is 0.1). If the tower has no Range Buff on itself, the number for it should be set to 0.

The range of a tower affected by the Range Debuff can be in decimal form, instead of being rounded down or rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, a tower with 5 range with a 50% Range Debuff will have a range of 2.5.

The following towers are either partially or fully not affected by the Range Debuff:

• All units.
• The Shotgunner, as its bullets do not extend into the decreased range.
• The DJ Booth cannot have its range boosted by another DJ Booth.
  • Other range buff sources, like the Ranger, can still apply it.
• Circling/patrol range of the Pursuit and Ace Pilot.
  • The radius in which towers gain hidden detection from the Ace Pilot also cannot be decreased.
  • These towers' attack range can still be decreased.
• The deadzone ranges of towers, like the Engineer.
  • The attack range for these towers can still be decreased.
• Secondary orange range of towers like the range buff range for the Ranger or the gravestone range for the Necromancer.
  • The main range of these towers can still be decreased.
• The chain range of the Electroshocker and Tesla.
  • The attack range can still be decreased.
• The explosion radius from Splash Damage towers cannot be decreased.
