Tactic: Trench Warfare

By Princess*Sparkles

Quick facts

  • Rarity: Epic
  • Weapon / slot type: Special
  • Effect: If firearm units are not given a move order, they gain 'Defensive Works' after standing still for 10 seconds. 'Defensive Works' does not stack; any non-move order resets the timer without removing the buff. Issuing a move order removes 'Defensive Works' immediately. While active, 'Defensive Works' converts 70% of incoming ranged damage into a knockback effect instead, consuming the buff in the process. Standing without a move order for 10 seconds restores 'Defensive Works'.
