Tower



Tower is a Rare tank in Hills of Steel 2.

It resembles a cartoon version of a typical tank, with a tall, telescopic body.

Primary
Tower fires up to three long-range, fast-moving shells in a straight line.

Special
Tower lowers its body, recovers an amount of health (equal to 3.33 times its Special value) and fires rapidly for a brief time. These attacks deal around a third of Tower's normal attack and are fired in a slightly erratic spread.

Once Tower's Special is used, it reverts back to its normal state with its Primary ammunition bar depleted.

Strategy
Moving sways the turret back and forth, allowing you to adjust the trajectory of the shells. Tower is an almost purely offensive tank with one of the highest attack values and lowest health. Tower's Special recharges very quickly (well-timed use of the Special attack can allow for multiple back-to-back uses) and can effectively lock down large sections of the map.

Tower cares about placement and terrain more than any other tank, making the learning curve to use this tank rather steep. Find a good vantage point, take aim and destroy the enemy before they can even reach you. A well-placed, well-played Tower can almost win a game on its own.

Upgrades
An Amplifier will boost both Tower's Special damage and the health it recovers when it locks down, so it is a doubly useful upgrade for this tank.
