Turret Overview

Turret Overview

There is some who ask will ask, "What turret is best to level up?". This question Honestly has 3 different answers to it. (The Goats Thoughts) I would suggest evenly upgrading. It will give you the best return in Critical DMG% bonus. It would also give you the most cards in the long run and enable you to push further quicker. Due to the cards being unlocked as well as the over all Critical Damage Bonus. Another approach is to just upgrade the turrets you like/use the most. This can lead to slower progression due to lack of some cards if some turrets are ignored as low as level 2-6. This will also leave you with a shortfall on Turret Damage Bonus in later stages and you will be spending time catching up turrets you ignored. The last idea is probably the best. Read everything and learn as much as you can about turrets and all game mechanics and make your own choice that works for you.

Breakthrough Cards - Work in Progress

Sky Guard

[Burn] - Take (Damage over Time for 5 seconds) DMG per second for 5s.

Laser

Disruption Drone

[Slow] - (-50% Movement speed for 5 seconds) Movement speed reduced by 50% for 5s. Field Suppression - Since this mechanism does not boost damage from other sources, and the base damage of the Disruption Drone is very low, the overall damage increase provided by this card is currently negligible. (Most notably seen when used in Project Ark: Rebuild)

Areoblast

Thunderbolt

Beam

[Vulnerable] - (Damage taken +25% for 5 seconds) DMG taken increased by 25% for 5s.

Firewheel Drone

Hive - Wasps

Volley is actually related to a number. Wasps being launched or attacks being made. 2 volleys is actually 2 wasps 1 launched and then the next launch, a Wasp 2 is launched.

Railgun

Teslacoil

Gravity Vortex Gun

Help me complete this section by submitting videos. This section will be work in progress until I can get full video clips of each Super Matrix Mode. Above is an example of what it looks like when you fully max a turret in battle from T3 to MAX or T4.
