"Hacks the nearest defensive building and turns it against other defenses for a duration. Once the hacking effect expires, the building is stunned for a time. Cannot capture prototype weapons."

Summary

• Universal Remote is a Hero Ability that can be used by Cpt. Everspark in attacks.
• When the ability is used, the hero will approach a nearby defensive building (not a Prototype Defense) and take control of it.
  • It will begin firing at enemy defensive buildings and enemy defensive buildings will begin targeting it.
  • After the hero loses control of it again, the defense will be stunned for a short time before it begins firing at your troops again.
• Each use costs 10 more Energy than the previous one, with a starting cost of 10 Energy.

Offensive Strategy

• This ability can be especially useful on long-range defenses like the Rocket Launcher that are not near other key defenses since it will be able to target and destroy them without being taken out too quickly.
• Try to use this ability on Shock Launchers. They can potentially be used to disable many enemy defenses and protect your troops.
• You can also use the ability on a high damaging defence like the Boom Cannon so it destroys other buildings quickly. You can use this for the Super Mortar even more effectively, as it both deals a lot of damage but also has very long range.
