Extend Aura Tower

The Clocktower · Extend Aura Synergy Tower

Shanty Town clocktower converted into a manned synergy tower that projects Li Na's Dreads far beyond their normal range.

Story so far

The Shanty Town build menu allows several types of automatic defensive towers but only a handful of manned ones, called Synergy Towers. This clocktower is an Extend Aura tower: it can only be manned by a crawler or NPC with "synergy" for its attack — in this case someone who uses the aura mechanic — and it is one of the few synergy towers usable during the Offensive Magic Ban. Li Na is stationed in it.

Dozens of wires now dangle from the arms of the clock. They were not part of the original design; they are an exploit devised by Elle's manager Mistress Tiatha. Li Jun and Zhang trail those wires from the tower into the Temple of The Dagda, one of them wedging a rock in the temple door to keep the line open. If the exploit succeeds, Toyotomi's builder squad immediately starts on The Nest.

Appearance

A clocktower rising over Shanty Town, dozens of wires hanging from the arms of its clock face and trailing away across the ground.

Role

The amplifier that carries Li Na's Dread aura on wires into Club Vanquisher.

Relationships

Li Na — The crawler who mans it.
Mistress Tiatha — Invented the dangling-wire exploit attached to it.
Synergy Towers — One of the manned tower class it belongs to.
The Nest — The next, far more expensive synergy tower to be built if this works.
