Not to be confused with Critter Engineer.
Summary
- The Turret Engineer is a Prototroop that periodically deploys stationary turrets.
- The Turret Engineer is unlocked for players who have an Armory level of 13 or above and starts 1 level below the Armory level. It can be upgraded using Proto Tokens gained from events.
- There is no maximum number of Turrets the Engineer can spawn.
Visual Appearance
- The Turret Engineer appears as a normal additional construction worker; Brown shoes, yellow overall and a yellow helmet.
- In the units' info screen, he is holding a controll device in his hand.
Offensive Strategy
- Turret Engineers should always be accompanied by Meatshilders.
- If possible, try to destroy or disable long-range defenses due to their low attack range.
- Heroes like Cpt. Everspark or Pvt. Bullit can distract defenses and give the engineers more time to deploy Turrets.
- If the level of the defenses are too low or they don't manage to destroy all Turrets in time, Turret Engineers can overrun bases.
Defensive Strategy
- Defense like Cannon, Boom Cannon or Doom Cannon can annihilate the Turrets quickly.
- Defense like Machine Gun or Flamethrower can also be effective against the Turrets.
- Buildings with high range like Boom Cannons, Grappler or Shock Blaster can kill the Turret Engineer before he can throw the first Turret.
- Mortar, Rocket Launcher and Shock Launcher can target your engineers if the Turrets are in their blind spots.
- Unlike the Critter Engineer, Turret Engineers cannot clear mines effectively, which is favorable for mines.
Trivia
- You can have a maximum of 8 Turret Enginners in a complete set of fully upgraded Landing Crafts.
- Note: Having this many Turret Engineers is highly discouraged because the Turrets can easily destroyed by most Defences leaving the Engineers unprotected.
