Defense – Ground Only | Faction: Sylari Ascendancy
Lore
Forged from enchanted brambles and bound with moonsteel sinew, the Thorn Spitter lies dormant until its prey draws near. A relic of ancient Elven wars, it launches armor-piercing thorns in silent bursts, punishing any ground troops that dare breach the glade.
“Let them walk boldly. Their path is pain.”
Role
Ground-only defense turret that fires a rapid volley of piercing thorns. Best positioned to protect tight choke points or near your Moonshade Nexus for synergy with buffs.
