Defense Systems Guide

Introduction

Defense systems are crucial for protecting your base and resources from enemy attacks. A well-designed defense can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Learn how to build effective defensive structures and protect your investments.

Defense Tower Types

🔫Basic Defense Tower

The starting defense tower, perfect for early game protection:

  • Low cost, easy to build multiple towers
  • Good for covering basic generator areas
  • Can be upgraded to increase damage and range
  • Best used in groups for overlapping coverage

⚡Advanced Defense Tower

Mid-game defense option with improved capabilities:

  • Higher damage output than basic towers
  • Increased range and attack speed
  • More expensive but worth the investment
  • Excellent for protecting valuable generators

💥Elite Defense Tower

The ultimate defense structure for late game:

  • Maximum damage and range
  • Can handle multiple enemies simultaneously
  • Very expensive but provides excellent protection
  • Best placed at strategic chokepoints

Defense Placement Strategies

Perimeter Defense

Place defense towers around the outer edge of your base:

  • Creates a defensive barrier
  • Slows down enemy advances
  • Allows time for your team to respond
  • Best combined with walls for maximum effect

Generator Protection

Focus defense around your resource generators:

  • Protect your most valuable assets
  • Place towers within range of multiple generators
  • Create overlapping fields of fire
  • Prioritize high-level generators

Chokepoint Defense

Place towers at strategic chokepoints:

  • Control enemy movement paths
  • Force enemies into kill zones
  • Maximize tower effectiveness
  • Work with terrain and map layout

Walls and Barriers

Walls are an essential part of your defense strategy:

  • Slowing Enemies: Walls force enemies to take longer paths, giving your towers more time to attack
  • Channeling: Guide enemies into areas covered by your defense towers
  • Protection: Create safe zones for your generators and spawn points
  • Cost-Effective: Walls are cheaper than towers but provide valuable defensive benefits

Defense Tips

  • Balance Defense and Offense: Don't over-invest in defense at the expense of resource generation
  • Upgrade Strategically: Upgrade towers that cover the most important areas first
  • Team Coordination: Coordinate with teammates to cover different areas
  • Adapt to Threats: Adjust your defense based on enemy strategies
  • Use Walls Wisely: Combine walls with towers for maximum effectiveness

🛡️ Defense Best Practices

A well-defended base should have:

  • Multiple layers of defense (walls + towers)
  • Overlapping tower coverage for critical areas
  • Defense towers covering all generator locations
  • Strategic placement at chokepoints and entry points
  • Regular upgrades to keep up with enemy strength
