Tower (High Elf)/1.03.24

High Elf
Almost identical to the Dark Elves' Towers, but yet inferior. This is due to the requirement of gold for construction and the electrical attack type which, although gives the High Elves access to an electric attack, has the inherited flaw of scattered attacks dealing no damage. Considering that the Dark Elve's Towers aren't that good to begin with, to take that and make it worse only means the High Elven Towers are among the weakest in the game.

Like with all Elven towers, they have a high cost, long build time and are disappointingly frail for a defensive structure. Although their crystal cost can be negated with Ancient Wisp farms late game, the tower's frailty means it'll be needing repair far more often than the average tower and this cost soon racks up in frantic games.

Despite all these short comings, there are ways to circumvent them. The High Elves have naturally good units for keeping enemies away, these and a few walls can increase the tower's longevity as well as reducing the need for large amounts of towers. With access to four missiles units, conferring two other missile types, the tower's projectile can be changed to something more reliable at a moments notice (frost from a Mystic / Ice Maiden is usually the best way to go). And finally the cost, as mentioned before, can be helped made affordable through Ancient Wisps, but in addition to that, the High Elves get access to the Income and Trade skills.
