Attack and Defense Types

In Astraeus Defense, each attack and defense type has specific strengths and weaknesses. This dynamic fosters a diverse battlefield requiring thoughtful strategy and precise counter-play. Here's a brief overview:

Attack Types

Electromagnetic Attacks: Most effective against Light Tactical Assault and Nano armor types.

Kinetic Attacks: Excel against Light Tactical Assault and Scaled Plate armor types.

Plasma Attacks (Arc): Best used against Organic and Scaled Plate armor types.

Explosive Rounds: Penetrate Nano and Heavy Plate armor types with ease.

Sharpened Attacks: Primarily effective against Carbon Compound and Heavy Plate armor types.

Biological Attacks: Most potent against Carbon Compound and Heavy Plate armor types.

Defense Types (Armor)

Organic Armor: Vulnerable to Explosive and Biological attacks.

Light Tactical Assault Armor: Weak against Sharpened and Biological attacks.

Nano Armor: Susceptible to Plasma and Kinetic attacks.

Scaled Plate Armor: Ineffective against Electromagnetic and Sharpened attacks.

Carbon Compound Armor: Defenseless against Plasma and Explosive attacks.

Heavy Plate Armor: Easily defeated by Kinetic and Electromagnetic attacks.

Understanding these relationships is crucial for effectively managing your units on the battlefield, ensuring that you have the right balance of strengths to counter your opponent's choices.

War Scraps & Biofuel

War scraps are earned from slaying enemies (5% of the cost of the unit goes to the player that kills it) and are also generated passively (every unit generates 10% of its cost each turn) - war scraps can be invested in purchasing or upgrading units. Players also earn Biofuel every time they place a unit, which is used for constructing high-cost buildings and upgrades.

A-Tech & Defense Protocol

Astraen Tech provides players with over 50 unique technological advancements, including purchasable passive upgrades and defensive tools like heals, defense drones, and placeable towers. One time during the match, each player can trigger the Astraen Defense Protocol, unleashing a devastating AoE nuke to stave off impending defeat.
