This may need some work shopping. Other towers at Rare are giving superior buffs, albeit in a smaller usually in a smaller area. But functionally this tower, for example, is a weaker Geothermal Reactor/Geothermal Refinery, but only for Fire towers, whereas Geothermal buffs every tower. The same is true for Cruel Fire, Wolves Den, even Library of Alexandria provides a superior buff [mechanically not numerically] (creeps in 900 radius giving +30% exp instead of Astral Towers within 500 range getting +50% exp), and comes with additional benefits.

I would suggest that the aura always works, but each aspect requires a tower of an element inside of the aura to turn on it's matching buff. And then you could add a cool effect for having every buff active.

I am aware that this tower's aura strength is comparably weak to other rare towers, but those rare towers have much higher total gold costs since they can be upgraded an thus are stronger in general. My tower also has a large aura AoE which makes its placement much easier. See Dwarven Forgery as another example for a cheap unique aura tower with high AoE.

This tower feels like it overlaps with the Orb of Elemental Infusion in terms of multi-element themed unique support... perhaps it could be a celestial tower? It would be easy to change your arches and obelisks to ruins variants.

Otherwise, I like Patcharoo's idea that having a tower of an element nearby activates that effect for all towers.

The Eightfold Convergence v2

Post by Moppy »

The Eightfold Convergence has been updated to v2!

Author's reason for this update:

Changed tower element from Arcane to Celestial.
Redesigned tower model accordingly.
Changed attack projectile.
Increased gold cost from 1825 to 3000.
Reduced ability factor from 0.5 to 0.1.

Reworked aura effect:
- Each element-based stat bonus is now applied to all other towers in range as long as at least one tower of their respective element is within range (exluding this one)
- Changed Celestial bonus from EXP gain to trigger chance (the bonuses now all align with their respective elemental researches)

The Eightfold Convergence v5

Post by Moppy »

The Eightfold Convergence has been updated to v5!

Author's reason for this update:

Rephrased ability tooltip yet again, hopefully the last time...

Added a new visual feature:
- The colored elemental orbs are no longer placed as doodads, but directly coded in as effects
- They are invisible by default and will only appear if at least one tower of their associated element is in aura range
- They will turn invisible again if said towers of their associated elements no longer exist in aura range
