==Interactions==
===Build===
Each Defense costs a specific amount of [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] to build. When building a defense it costs [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] and [[Defense Units|Defense Units]]. The [[Defense Units]] lost from building a defense is refunded when the defense is either sold or destroyed.
===Upgrade===
A Player may Upgrade a defense by [[Controls|pressing Q]] (by default) and then left clicking on a [[Defense]]. <br>
* Upgrading a defense will increase its [[Defense Power]] ratio and [[Defense Health]] ratio.
Upgrading a defense costs different amounts of [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] for each upgrade tier:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
|-
! Upgrade !! Cost
|-
| Tier 1 -> 2 || 50
|-
| Tier 2 -> 3 || 100
|-
| Tier 3 -> 4 || 150
|-
| Tier 4 -> 5 || 200
|}
===Repair===
A player can repair a Defense by [[Controls|pressing R]] (by default) and then left clicking on a defense. <br>
'''Formula:''' <code>Base Green Mana Cost * 75% * % of missing health</code> <br>
So repairing a defense such as the [[Flameburst Tower]] for example it costs 40 [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] and repairing it from 50% health will cost 15 [[mana#green mana|green mana]]. <br>
* Repairing a Defense does not change in cost according to the upgrade tier. The repair cost is always based off of the base cost of the Tier 1 version of the Defense
===Sell===
A Player may sell a defense by [[Controls|pressing Z]] (by default) and then left clicking on the defense. <br>
'''Formula:''' <code>Total Green Mana Cost * 75% * % of missing health</code> <br>
* A Defense will sell for [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] based on its condition and upgrade status.
: A Defense sold in the same build phase it was built in will give a full refund, including any [[Mana#Green Mana|green mana]] spent on upgrades. <br> If the defense is sold at any other point after it has been built will sell for 75% of its cost (Including Upgrade costs) times its percent health left.
