A Tower is any Defense that has physical presence. A Tower is the most common form of Defense. All [[Heroes]] besides the [[Series EV2]] and the [[Gun Witch]] have at least 1 Tower. Heroes and [[Enemies]] cannot move through towers. Towers are targetable by Enemies. Enemies will attempt to attack Towers according to their [[Aggression]] behaviors. Towers have a health bar, which is directly determined by a [[Heroes{{!}}Hero's]] [[Defense Health]]. When the a Tower's Health pool reaches 0 it is destroyed with no refund to [[Mana#Green Mana{{!}}Green Mana]]. Towers do not consume any resources to attack enemies, Unlike unlike Auras and Traps, and Damage type Towers have an attack rate that is determined by the Tower's base attack rate and the [[Heroes{{!}}Hero's]] [[Defense Speed]].

A Blockade is a subtype of Tower. Blockades are typically defenses that excels in absorbing damage on the front line. As of pre-alpha testing phase, only the The [[Squire{{!}}Squire]] and , [[Apprentice{{!}}Apprentice]], [[Mystic]], [[Dryad]], [[Abyss Lord]], and [[Lavamancer]] have blockades in their defense arsenal.

A Trap is a Type of Defense exclusively used by the [[Huntress]], [[Mystic]], and [[Lavamancer]]. Unlike other hero defenses, a trap has a limited number of detonation charges, using a charge count instead of a health pool. This is determined by the [[Heroes{{!}}Hero's]] [[Defense Health]]. Once a trap runs out of detonation charges it disappears, similar to an aura's health degeneration.

An Aura is a type of Defense exclusively used by the [[Monk]], [[Initiate]], and [[Lavamancer]]. Unlike other hero defenses, an aura has a variable lifespan dependant on the the number of times it has affected enemies or players, shown as a percentage. This percentage is a reflection of the relative health compared to the health when the Aura was built. The underlying number of uses an Aura has is determined by the [[Heroes{{!}}Hero's]] [[Defense Health]].

Auras are non-physical hero defenses which do not block movement and are untargetable by [[Enemies]]except for Cyborks. Auras are spherical in shape and their rotation does not need to be adjusted when being placed on the map. Auras have an effect rate. All auras have a base effect rate. Only All Auras except the [[Lightning Boost Aura]] is are affected by [[Defense Speed]].
