Turrets are structures that shoot cannonballs or bombs at enemies, damaging or afflicting status effects on them from a distance. A turret's defense depends on the material it is built on and Fortification, or the number of walls connected to it.

Big Book of Turrets[]
Chapter 1: Turret Basics
Choosing which turret to place is key to an archineer's victory. Basic Turrets work best in groups. A single turret is easily overrun. Goo Launchers work well along with other turrets but do very litte by themselves. Acid Bombs are very effective, but placing many each other is a waste. Combine different turrets together for the best results!
