Defenses
,added pictures. Cleaned up lay-out
Defenses are the core to defending Etheria. They require Green Mana to be build, upgraded and repaired. Every [[Hero|Hero Deck]] has 4 defenses with exception to Barbarian and Gun Witch.<br>
There are 5 types of Defenses: Towers, Blockades, Traps, Auras and Nodes.<br><br>
Blockades are Defenses that focus on Defense. They have wide hitboxes with a lot of health and a small to medium range cap.<br>
Blockades deal damage, but they can also have a supporting roll such as slowing or stunning enemies, and buffing heroes. <br><br>

Towers are Defenses that focus on Offense. They have small hitboxes with some health and often a large range cap.<br>
There is much variation between towers, some have projectiles, others have beams. Most are damaging, but there are also CC Towers. They can be AoE or Single Target.<br><br>

Traps are Defenses that focus on Offense. As health they have an certain amount of charges. They have a small trigger radius and a larger detonation radius, each trigger removes a charge.<br>

Traps are mainly damage dealers, but they can have supporting rolls such as slowing, stunning or charming enemies.<br><br>
