Guides & Information

Author Rating: B

Roles: Ranged, Fodder, DPS, Hexite Dump

Synergies: Every Unit

• Weak, fragile and with low DPS individually ; Ranged Stinger basically

• Decent range (7)

• Very vulnerable to Splash

• Ineffective against Armored targets (due to dealing only 7 damage per Attack)

• Spawns in groups of three

• Promoted to relevance only by their cheap cost (30 Hex) and abundance of Synergies

• You'll want Thralls in your army 8/10 times

• Can hit air

Author Rating: B-

• Takes 6 attacks to hit full potential. Aka 5.625 seconds of combat life-time

• DPS adds up FAST in larger armies ; Almost useless on an individual unit level

• Utility highly depends on composition, both enemy and your own

• Thrall "durability" is not a value you should rely on in combat

• Use Steelsworn if you plan to get this upgrade for increased value

Author Rating: D

• Very unlikely to get this effect to fire twice in combat

• Less DPS than its counterpart

• Due to Thrall's projectile attack, there's a high chance for overkill/wasted uses of Charged Shot

• Due to the plethora of Attack Speed Buffs, this upgrade has reduced utility

• Useful if you plan to suicide walls of Thralls into the enemy I suppose

Author Rating: C

• Generally less useful than its counterpart, even for Sacrifice-Based Builds

• Extra Thrall does cost supply, contrary to tooltip

• Utility largely limited to Tempest Dreadnought-based builds

Author Rating: S

• Very good for all sacrifice-based builds

• Buff applies to Storm Bringer's ability DPS

• Buff does not stack on a per-unit basis; Instead it refreshes the duration

Author Rating: B

Roles: Melee, +Anti-Light, +Crowd Control, Fodder, +Tank, Hexite Dump

Synergies: Thrall, Storm Bringer, Terror Tank

• Relatively ineffective baseline

• Promoted to relevance by its cheap cost and upgrades

• Best Described by its voice-line "Not coming back, I know"

• Exists to buy time for ranged DPS to kill the enemy

• Low utility on builds focused around Thralls dying

• Guaranteed to appear during the match when using Summoning Obelisks

Author Rating: B+

Best Use: Steelsworn-Dark Disciple Builds

• Good for keeping an active tanking line

• Sacrifice Range seems insufficient, combined with how fast Thrall die, it's not that reliable

• Sacrificing a Thrall also boosts Attack Speed by 100%; Stacks infinitely

• Can be quite useful for DPS builds, if you have enough Thralls to support them

• Due to the subpar performance of Steelsworn, upgrades can be skipped

Author Rating: B

Best Use: Any Steelsworn Build

• The resulting attack deals 45 damage to Light and has 1 range AoE

• Life-steal is 50% of all damage dealt

• Useful dealing with swarms of enemies

• Due to the subpar performance of Steelsworn, upgrades can be skipped

Author Rating: B+

Roles: Ranged, Anti-Heavy, DPS, +Caster

Synergies: Thrall, Steelsworn, Terror Tank

• Powerful Single-Target Ranged DPS; Solid Range

• Relatively Expensive

• Slow, fragile and vulnerable to AoE

• Heavily Reliant on having another unit tank for them

• Tendency to body-block

• Requires a Citadel to be produced

• +75% Damage to Heavy

• Can target Air

(No notes.)

Author Rating: S

Best Use: Any Dark Disciple Build

• Synergizes great with base damage ramp-up

• Quite useful ; Greatly boosts Damage Ramp-Up time

• Range and body-blocking still limit performance

• Note that the upgrade makes Dark Disciples count as Casters for Mutator buffs

Author Rating: A

Best Use: Any Dark Disciple Build

• Armor Reduction seems to be -1 per attack

• Reduction is not permanent but lasts enough to kill most units

• Excess Armor Reduction turns into Negative Armor

• Negative Armor increases all damage taken by that amount

• Basically gives a permanent +5 damage (Base Damage being 6 before that)

Author Rating: B

Roles: Ranged, Crowd Control, DPS, Caster

Synergies: Thrall, Steelsworn

• Gimmicky; relies on a channeled ability

• Needs to be manually and individually sieged up

• Less effective than Terror Tanks with Soul Dynamo

• Enemies do not need to be fully in the AoE zone to be hit

• Requires vision to cast and attack

• Micro-intensive to use

• Regular attack is pathetic

• Slow, expensive, and very fragile at 150 HP

• Needs high numbers (5+) to efficiently kill high-HP targets

• Requires a Terror Tower to be produced

• Can target air

• Excellent damage output; Even 3 Storm Bringers can be a menace

• Deals damage to all units within the AoE circle

• Roughly 3.5 Circle Size

• Enemies do not need to be fully in the circle to be hit

• Requires vision to cast

• Large casting range, roughly 18

• Attack Speed can be increased by ability effects like Galavax's Elemental Shift and Thrall's Witness Me

• Utility is limited by its gimmicky nature

• Can target structures

• Can target air

Author Rating: S

Best Use: Any Storm Bringer Build

• Storm Bringers sacrifice a Thrall automatically to restore energy

• Each Thrall restores 75 energy

• Sacrifice occurs once a Storm Bringer hits 0 Energy

• Very useful upgrade ; Exactly what the Storm Bringer needs

Author Rating: D

Best Use: N/A

• Base Attacks reduce the target's Attack Speed as well

• Increases the energy obtained by basic attacks (Each gives 4 energy now)

• Utility depends on enemy composition, but if you make Storm Bringers, you generally want enough to liquidate targets fast enough that the slow won't matter.

Author Rating: A

Roles: Ranged, +Artillery, +Anti-Light, Anti-Heavy, DPS, +Crowd Control, +Support, +Caster

Synergies: Thrall, Steelsworn, Dreadnought

Author Rating: B+

• Adds a Flame Turret with 10 damage, 0.25sec attack speed, 1.2 AoE Range

• +100% Damage to Light

• Range 15, but appears to calculated from the Module not the Tank

• Passive: Tank Damage Resistance increased by 20%

  • Damage Reduction also increases Module longevity

• Passive: Terror Tanks now deal AoE

• AoE Range is increased for each additional Flame Turret

• AoE Range provided by 1 turret is insignificant, recommend using 2

• Great Synergy with Pulseforge Accelerator

• 2 Modules Significantly boost the durability of the Terror Tank

• Significantly less effective than Soul Dynamo Damage-Wise

• Ineffective if the Terror Tank gets surrounded

• Cannot target air

Author Rating: B+

• Increases Damage by 50% and adds 5 attack range to the main turret

• Energy can significantly reduce effectiveness

• Does not affect other ability casting/attack ranges apparently

• Powerful Artillery Tool ; Max Range at 4 Modules is 32

• Great Synergy with Flame Turret, but remember Flame Turrets don't gain extra range

• High Energy Dependence boosts the utility of Soul Dynamo... but Soul Dynamo significantly out-performs the turret weapon

Author Rating: A

• The Terror Tank grants a 250hp shield for 20sec to the Target unit

• Effect applies automatically to one friendly unit taking hp damage

• Max 4 Shields per Module; 10sec Charge Cooldown to apply Shield

• Casting & cooldown on a per-module basis

• Available Charges can be seen on the Terror Tank; Look for the Electrical Arc

• Very useful for non-sacrifice Builds

• Not very good at keeping the Terror Tank Modules alive

• Best used in pairs (aka 2 Modules of this slot)

Author Rating: S

• Caution: The Terror Tank will still waste energy firing its main weapon

• Actually more effective than Storm Bringers and even the Terror Tank main weapon

• Can hit air

Author Rating: A

Roles: Ranged, +Anti-Air, DPS, Crowd Control, Flying, Transport

Synergies: Thrall, Steelsworn,, Terror Tank

• Powerful and Versatile Flying DPS

• Can Attack while Moving

• Be careful as its easy to lose to track of units loaded into Dreadnoughts

• Not Produced but constructed on the field

• Cannot construct buildings underneath a finished Dreadnought

• Can target Air

• Utility varies heavily with the enemy composition and Bomb Bay module because an un-upgraded Dreadnought is relatively fragile

• Great against objectives, but a little annoying to use in combat

Author Rating: B

• Covers both of the weaknesses of the ability

Author Rating: C

• Increases damage by 33% of base

• Also boosts Movement Speed by 25%
