Defense – Ground Only | Faction: Sylari Ascendancy
Lore
Carved from obsidian stone and imbued with forgotten glyphs, the Arcane Watcher channels raw leyline energy into focused pulses of force. The Sylari rarely build these in plain sight — they're typically disguised among ruins or trees until they fire. Not merely a turret, but a guardian with a mind of its own.
“The stone sees. The stone waits. The stone strikes.”
Role
A burst ground defense that fires a beam of arcane energy, dealing damage and briefly disrupting ability activation on hit. Ideal against spellcasters and crowd-control attackers.

Arcane Watchers are great near resource clusters, preventing high-level spell units from sneaking in.
Best used near Moonshade Nexus for increased effectiveness in the buff grid.
