―Store Description

Description

Anubis is a short-range ground tower that attacks with its war staff, dealing damage based on its stack on 1 enemy. Anubis can be purchased from the store for 1,000 and has a level requirement of Level 50.

Anubis is a unique tower with the passive ability to stack souls, everytime Anubis has enough damage to finish off an enemy, it will completely ignore swingrate cooldown, doing a different animation killing its enemy, gaining the enemy's soul. For each soul gain, 1 more damage that Anubis will permanently deal. This passive ability has no limit.

Anubis, however, cannot gain buffs from any towers like the Commander, or DJ Booth.

There is a placement limit of three Anubis for each player.

Strategy

• Anubis relies on stacking, place it alone somewhere far from other towers to guarantee a stack.
• Anubis is really bad against tanky hordes spam as it can only attack one enemy at a time.
• Try your best to place Anubis as early as possible in order to get more stacks.
• Placing 3 Anubis with "wasted" space on a line is the best way to utilise it's Wither ability.
  • This is because enemies get slowed down while in Wither's range, as this ability doesn't stack, placing Anubis like mentioned earlier help this ability to be cast farther in distance.
• This tower is extremely bad to be moved late game as stacks do not save.

Trivia

• Anubis' stack animation can still fail if the enemy was killed while Anubis is doing its animation.
