Defenses are the core to defending Etheria. <br>They require Green Mana to be build, upgraded and repaired. <br>Every [[HeroDeck|Hero Deck]] has 4 defenses with exception to Barbarian and Gun Witch, who have no defenses, and Dryad and Mystic, who have a 5th defense to provide a way of healing.<br>There are 5 types of Defenses: Towers, Blockades, Traps, Auras and NodesBeams.<br><br>=== Blockades ===
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>
