Three Classes

Choose Your Playstyle

Tank · Frontline · Absorb

Sturdy towers that hold the line and absorb enemy punishment. Essential for protecting your core in later waves.

DPS · Ranged · Lone Ranger

High damage, long-range burst. The primary damage dealer — especially devastating when isolated with the Lone Ranger node.

Support · Aura · Buff

Restores health, provides buffs, and keeps your frontline alive. Without a healer, your Defenders crumble fast.
