They are certainly effective for taking out clusters of enemies and stripping off armor, but they have a critical flaw in my opinion. Mortar - These are my favorite of the long range towers, but I don't find myself using them a lot anymore. These I go for levels rather than numbers as well, and they do a ton of damage if you have high crit on them and the exsanguinate upgrade. If you have a lot of splits though you might lose a lot of potential damage as saw blades go off the map instead of into the line of enemies. These really shine when you have a long, unsplit pathway for them to fire down, and in these circumstances might be better than the towers above. Shredder - These can be really good but I find them more situational than the sprayers and tesla. One benefit they have over sprayers is the ability to add all three DOT effects to an enemy, but I prefer my ballistas doing that. I follow the same method with these as the sprayers, going for high level clusters of specialized towers rather than a big spread. Tesla - These are powerful for all the same reasons as the sprayers, but slightly less in my opinion because of the lack of range and lower rate of fire.

With high crit chance and the right perks (expunge for poison and ignite for fire) these will do incredible damage. I tend to put three in a cluster and specialize each one for one damage type, and then watch as together they melt everything that tries to pass.

These I tend to upgrade heavily rather than spread out. The fire sprayer obviously favors armor damage and the poison favors shield, but either can easily be made effective for both and it is better to take one rather than both. I prefer these slightly over the tesla due to their faster rate of fire and longer range. Sprayers - These can be incredibly powerful. The lookout also adds its crit chance to each attack. If you use universities (you should), the bonus is added twice once for the tower attacking and once for the lookout.

They pair well with large numbers of ballistas too. Quick attacking towers, like the sprayers, tesla towers, and the obelisk are particularly effective when paired with a lookout, as the bonus is added on each hit. These are best in areas where things are hit by a lot of attacks at once. Lookout - When used well these can be shockingly effective. I don't tend to manually level ballistas, they do great in large numbers. I usually invest into universities, and the bonus from those is huge when combined with large numbers of ballistas. Towards the end of a run, there is no spot that isn't covered by at least a couple ballistas, constantly slowing everything and applying damage over time. I take slow on them and all the damage over time upgrades I can get, and then put them everywhere. I underestimated this tower when I first started playing, but these usually do the bulk of my damage in any given run.

Please share your thoughts or your own lists, if you think I've unfairly rated something low then I'd love to hear how to effectively use them.īallista - Old reliable. I'm just curious how people would rate each tower.
