Anti-Rock Turret

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Adds a defensive turret that shoots falling rocks, not the mountain. One or two are useful when rocks are hurting runners; invest harder only if you are building around Falling Pinatas, Rocket Salvo, or Turret Railgun.

Effect and Strategy

Main use	Adds a defensive turret that shoots falling rocks, not the mountain. One or two are useful when rocks are hurting runners; invest harder only if you are building around Falling Pinatas, Rocket Salvo, or Turret Railgun.
When to buy	Buy the first one after 2 Scientists if falling rocks are hitting runners, you are using demolition/calamity-heavy damage, or you are preparing the turret support chain. Delay it if your real bottleneck is mountain damage or hauling, because the turret does not damage the mountain.
Cost	Gold: 210 Gold base: 210 Dwarves: 1

Verdict	Anti-Rock Turret is good as defensive utility, not as your main damage purchase. It protects Runners and enables turret reward scaling, but it does not attack the mountain.
Buy first	Buy one after 2 Scientists when falling rocks are interrupting hauling, killing/stunning workers, or piling up during Demolition Shack or other high-rock-pressure runs.
Skip for now	Skip it when the mountain is dying too slowly or ore is sitting uncollected. In those cases, fix damage or follow the Runners Guide before spending on rock defense.
Best payoff	It becomes much better with Turret Cooling Mechanism, Turret Accuracy, Turret Burst-Fire, Falling Pinatas, Rocket Salvo, Gyro-Stabilized Emplacements, and eventually Turret Railgun.

Part	Exact Behavior	Player Takeaway
Target	Targets falling rocks only. It does not shoot the mountain, dens, or normal enemies.	Use it to protect Runners, not to speed up direct mountain kills.
Priority	Chooses reachable rocks using a score that favors rocks closer to the ground and closer to the turret.	This is why it is strongest as a last-line defense around the settlement side of the screen.
Aiming	Leads moving rocks before firing and must turn its barrel into aim tolerance before the burst starts.	Gyro-Stabilized Emplacements helps because turn speed and accuracy both reduce wasted time and missed shots.
Base stats	420 range, 0.8-1.2s cooldown, 2 laser bolts per burst, 42% base accuracy, 1 damage per bolt, 350 bolt speed.	The base turret is real protection, but it needs Turret Cooling Mechanism and Turret Accuracy before it becomes reliable under heavy rock pressure.
Turret kills	When a turret projectile destroys a rock, the game marks that rock as destroyed by turret.	That marker is what makes Falling Pinatas matter: turret-killed rocks can become extra gold/gem value.

Step	Buy	Player Takeaway
1	Anti-Rock Turret	Unlocks after 2 Scientists. Buy one when rock hits are costing hauling uptime or worker safety.
2	Turret Cooling Mechanism	Best early support. It shrinks the normal 0.8-1.2s cooldown; at max tier the listed cooldown multiplier reaches 0.04.
3	Turret Accuracy	Raises base 42% accuracy by up to +50 percentage points before prestige/artifact bonuses, which means far less shot spread.
4	Turret Burst-Fire	Adds up to +6 bolts per burst, taking the turret from 2 to 8 bolts. Buy once you can spare the mithril and already have at least one turret doing useful work.
5	Falling Pinatas	Only worth it once turret kills are common. The reward chance improves with the upgrade and also gets +0.1 percentage point per Scientists.
6	Rocket Salvo	Requires Rocket Salvo prestige, a turret, and 4 Scientists. It adds unguided explosive rockets; chance also gains +4 percentage points per prestige rank and +0.1 percentage point per Scientist.
7	Turret Railgun -> Railgun Retrofit -> Railgun Capacitor	Late path. Converts one turret into a piercing railgun beam; use it when dense falling-rock waves matter more than another normal turret.

Build Situation	Use The Turret How
Spelunker Opening plus Harpoon Ballista	Good fit. Spelunkers and Harpoon Ballista can progress mapping/dens without rushing mountain damage, while the turret reduces runner losses from falling rocks.
Demolition Shack or calamity-heavy runs	Good fit. Explosive/high-calamity play throws more hazards at your workers, so defensive rock cleanup has real value.
Normal early damage rush	Low priority. A first turret can be fine, but multiple turrets before your damage and hauling are stable will slow the run.
Falling Pinatas farming	Good if rocks are already being destroyed by turrets. More Scientists, more turret uptime, and more burst count turn defense into extra loot.
Turret Railgun endgame	Strong support path. Railgun Retrofit changes the turret line from simple defense into piercing rock control, and Railgun Capacitor improves that railgun cooldown.

Upgrade Or Artifact	What It Adds
Turret Cooling Mechanism	Cooldown multiplier tiers: 1.00, 0.88, 0.76, 0.64, 0.52, 0.40, 0.28, 0.16, 0.04.
Turret Accuracy	Flat accuracy tiers: +0%, +10%, +20%, +30%, +40%, +50%.
Turret Burst-Fire	Burst tiers add +0 to +6 bolts per shot, which is the biggest simple multiplier once shots are landing.
Falling Pinatas	Turret-killed rocks get a better chance to pay out gold/gems; the description also adds a Scientist-based bonus.
Rocket Salvo	Turrets can launch unguided rockets that explode in a large radius. Best after the prestige unlock and enough mithril income.
Gyro-Stabilized Emplacements	First 1/2 turrets can become free, and anti-rock turrets gain +75%/+150% turn speed plus +3%/+6% accuracy.
Turret Railgun	Unlocks Railgun Retrofit, turning a turret into a railgun path.
Railgun Retrofit	Converts one turret into a piercing beam. Railgun timing is 6-7s, beam damage is 8 against rocks in its path, Accuracy/Burst still apply, and Cooling only gives half value.
Railgun Capacitor	Adds railgun cooldown reduction after the railgun path is open.
Sorcerous Spyglass	Adds +10 percentage points of flat accuracy to Ballistas and turrets.
