Turrets and cannons

Turrets change the damage mix of a defense. The 30 Oct 2026 news post names two of them in plain language: the Fire Tree turret beside the Cryomancer, and the Solar Turret, which raises incoming attack and HP in exchange for more coins and experience. Those two are the safest rows on this page.

Turrets

Nine names are listed. Fire Tree, Heavy Gun, Solar Turret, Thunder Demon Lord, and Poison Demon Lord appear in studio notes or the day-one hotfix (the hotfix says those two demon-lord towers were misplaced and then corrected). The other four names come from public guides. A second guide lists seven turrets and includes an Ice Turret that this table does not. I am not adding a tenth row for a name only one page uses.

Cannons

Three cannon names are on the public guides: Siege Bow, Ice Spike Gun, and Dragon Gun. The 14 Aug playtest post says the test build had 2 cannons, so the third name is later than that post. The 2 Oct demo note says some damage was being counted on the Dragon Gun and that the count was fixed. It does not publish the gun's stats.

Questions

What does the Solar Turret do?

The 30 Oct 2026 post says it boosts enemy attack and HP and pays you back with more coins and experience. It is a risk toggle, not a plain damage tower.

How many cannons are there?

Three names are published on guides. The first playtest post mentioned two. Dragon Gun is the one a patch note discusses by name.
