Boss Buffs
Quick Take
Dark Tower
Use it offensively to weaken enemies at choke points or on hostile territory, not as a casual drop on public objectives.
Biggest Mistake
Dropping a Dark Tower on a public World Boss is one of the easiest ways to anger the whole server and create unnecessary war.
BUFF
Tower of Light
The support tower
Creates a zone that buffs Attack and Defense for all guild members inside. It is mostly invisible to enemies and does not affect them.
Best Uses
- World Bosses: Place directly on the boss to boost guild DPS.
- Hive Defense: Place in the center of your guild hive to buff defenders.
DEBUFF
Tower of Darkness
The war tower
Creates a zone that debuffs all non-friendly units. It weakens enemy attack and defense and is a strong tool for KvK and territory wars.
Best Uses
- Choke Points: Place on narrow paths to weaken incoming marches.
- Enemy Hives: Drop on an enemy guild to soften defenses before attacking.
Community Rule #1
Never place a Tower of Darkness on a public World Boss.
Since the Dark Tower debuffs everyone who is not in your guild, placing one on a World Boss like Golem or Slime weakens the entire server. This is widely treated as toxic behavior.
Consequence: Most top guilds will destroy these towers on sight and may declare war on your guild. Use a Light Tower instead.
FAQ
Mechanics & Answers
Do Towers Stack?
No. If multiple towers of the same type cover the same area, only the highest-level tower applies its effect.
Coordinate with your guild instead of wasting several towers on the same square.
