Overview
Billboards are a panel of information visible above the spawn points of a map during a build phase. Basic information is visible by default and a more detailed view can be seen when a player holds the 'SHIFT' button (by default).
The number of Physical Resist and Magic Resist Lanes per map is constant (Ie: Gates of Dragonfall will always have 2 Magic Resist lanes and 1 Physical Resist Lane), but their placement is randomly generated every time the map is started.
The number of each Threat Color a wave has is constant for each map on each difficulty, but is random in their placement each wave.

Threat ColorsThe color that appears under the name of the lane shows a relative intensity of Enemies that will spawn in that lane for the wave. The color of a lane can change every wave.
