Deflector Towers

Defensive Towers · Larracos Towers

Larracos's automated defense towers, which reactivate to shred the ball and unwittingly power Lucia Mar's trap.

Story so far

The towers of Larracos have been inactive, but the instant Harpocrates releases the Rolling Battle Formation Ball into the funnel and it enters range, they spin back up and open fire. Free of the god's protection, the ball's health bar starts falling at once.

Their second, unintended function is worse. Baroness Victory identifies the absorption jewels used in the towers as leaking energy of all sorts, which Lucia Mar's Power Siphon is quietly drawing on to power the Anti-Escape Trap Net sealing the Nest. The net cannot drop until those towers stop shooting. Donut, through Donut's Sunglasses, can see the power streaming out of them toward a single point on the ground.

Appearance

Automated towers ringing the Larracos funnel, studded with absorption jewels that leak visible energy.

Role

Larracos's automated defenses and the unwitting power source of Lucia Mar's trap.

Relationships

Larracos — Ring its funnel.
Power Siphon — Their leaking jewels feed it.
