Towers
Towers
Towers are, for the most part, the main way to counter enemies. They are essential to a player's loadout and gameplay. Each tower has its own set of abilities, purchase cost and upgrades associated to that particular tower.
Most towers are offensive towers. However, some may provide support in its own way. Each have their own strategy associated to them and most towers can reach their full potential when combined with other towers or fighting against specific types of enemies.
In PVP mode, golden perks and exclusive towers are unable to be equipped. A large number of the available towers in PVP mode also use different statistics.
